PART I

Item 1.        BUSINESS

Overview

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (we, our, the Company) is a diversified, global company that provides products, services and solutions to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, secure homes and commercial properties, and increase industrial productivity and efficiency. Our business segments consist of Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies, each with strong brands and leading positions within their respective markets. We generate revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sale and service of a diverse portfolio of industrial and commercial products that include well-recognized, premium brand names such as Club Car ® , Hussmann ® , Ingersoll-Rand ® , Schlage ® , Thermo King ® and Trane ® .

We are dedicated to inspiring progress for our customers, shareholders, employees and communities by achieving:

 

   

Dramatic Growth , by focusing on innovative solutions for our customers;

 

   

Operational Excellence , by pursuing continuous improvement in all of our operations; and

 

   

Dual Citizenship , by bringing together the talents of all Ingersoll Rand people to leverage the capabilities of our global enterprise.

To achieve these goals and to become a more diversified company with strong growth prospects, we transformed our enterprise portfolio by divesting cyclical, low-growth and asset-intensive businesses. In addition, our acquisition strategy has helped deliver more consistent revenue and earnings performance across all phases of the economic cycle. Aside from our portfolio transformation, we continue to focus on increasing our recurring revenue stream, which includes revenues from parts, service, used equipment and rentals. We also intend to continuously improve the efficiencies, capabilities, products and services of our high-potential businesses.

Recent Acquisitions and Divestitures

On June 5, 2008 (the Acquisition Date), we completed our acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trane Inc. (Trane). Trane, previously named American Standard Companies Inc., provides systems and services that enhance the quality and comfort of the air in homes and buildings around the world. Trane’s systems and services have leading positions in commercial, residential, institutional and industrial markets; a reputation for reliability, high quality and product innovation; and a powerful distribution network. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $9.6 billion, which was funded by a combination of cash on hand, commercial paper and a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

On November 30, 2007, we completed the sale of our Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments business units (collectively, Compact Equipment) to Doosan Infracore for cash proceeds of approximately $4.9 billion, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. Compact Equipment manufactured and sold compact equipment including skid-steer loaders, compact truck loaders, mini-excavators and telescopic tool handlers, portable air compressors, generators, light towers, general-purpose light construction equipment and attachments. We are currently in the process of resolving the final purchase price adjustments with Doosan Infracore.

Table of Contents

On April 30, 2007, we completed the sale of our Road Development business unit to AB Volvo (publ) for cash proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion. The Road Development business unit manufactured and sold asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment.

2001 Reorganization

Our predecessor company, Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey), was organized in 1905 under the laws of the State of New Jersey as a consolidation of Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill Company and the Rand Drill Company, whose businesses were established in the early 1870’s.

We are a successor to IR-New Jersey following a corporate reorganization that became effective on December 31, 2001. We believe that the reorganization has enabled us to realize a variety of financial and strategic benefits, including to:

 

   

help enhance business growth;

   

create a more favorable corporate structure for expansion of our current business;

   

improve expected cash flow for use in investing in the development of higher-growth product lines and businesses;

   

improve expected cash flow for use in reducing the amount of our debt;

   

reduce our worldwide effective tax rate;

   

enable us to implement our business strategy more effectively; and

   

expand our investor base as our shares may become more attractive to non-U.S. investors.

IR-Limited and its subsidiaries continue to conduct the businesses previously conducted by IR-New Jersey and its subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Competitive Conditions

Our products are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. Due to the diversity of these products and the variety of markets served, we encounter a wide variety of competitors that vary by product line. They include well-established regional or specialized competitors, as well as larger U.S and non-U.S corporations or divisions of larger companies.

The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, quality, delivery, service and support, technology and innovation. We believe that we are one of the leading manufacturers in the world of HVAC systems and services, air compression systems, transport temperature control products, refrigerated display merchandisers, refrigeration systems and controls, air tools, and golf and utility vehicles. In addition, we believe we are a leading supplier in U.S. markets for architectural hardware products, mechanical locks and electronic and biometric access-control technologies.

Distribution

Our products are distributed by a number of methods, which we believe are appropriate to the type of product. U.S. sales are made through branch sales offices and through distributors, dealers and large retailers across the country. Non-U.S. sales are made through numerous subsidiary sales and service companies with a supporting chain of distributors throughout the world.

Customers

We have no major customers that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues in 2008, 2007 or 2006. No material part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or a small group of customers; therefore, the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Raw Materials

We manufacture many of the components included in our products, which requires us to employ a wide variety of raw materials. Principal raw materials, such as steel, copper and aluminum, are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world. In the past, higher prices for some raw materials, particularly steel and non-ferrous metals, have caused pricing pressures in some of our businesses; we have historically been able to pass certain of these cost increases on to customers in the form of price increases.

We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for the foreseeable future. There have been no raw material shortages which have had a material adverse effect on our businesses. However, significant changes in certain material costs may have an adverse impact on our costs and operating margins. To mitigate this potential impact, we enter into long-term supply contracts in order to manage our exposure to potential supply disruptions.

Working Capital

We manufacture products that usually must be readily available to meet our customer’s rapid delivery requirements. Therefore, we maintain an adequate level of working capital to support our business needs

Table of Contents

and our customers’ requirements. Such working capital requirements are not, however, in the opinion of management, materially different from those experienced by our major competitors. Our sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.

Research and Development

We engage in research and development activities in an effort to introduce new products, enhance existing products effectiveness, increase safety, improve ease of use and reliability as well as expand the various applications for which our products may be appropriate. In addition, we continually evaluate developing technologies in areas that we believe will enhance our business for possible investment or acquisition. We anticipate that we will continue to make significant expenditures for research and development activities as we look to maintain and improve our competitive position. Research and development expenditures, including qualifying engineering costs, were $131.6 million in 2008, $128.6 million in 2007 and $126.7 million in 2006.

Patents and Licenses

We own numerous patents and patent applications and are licensed under others. Although in aggregate we consider our patents and licenses to be valuable to our operations, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent on a single patent or license or any group of them. In our opinion, engineering, production skills and experience are more responsible for our market position than our patents and/or licenses.

Operations by Geographic Area

More than 40% of our 2008 net revenues were derived outside the U.S. and we sold products in more than 100 countries. Therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular country, such as nationalization and establishment of common markets, would not be expected to have a significant effect on our non-U.S. operations. For a discussion of risks attendant to our non-U.S. operations, see “Risk Factors – Currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations may adversely affect our results,” “Risk Factors – Our global operations subject us to economic risks,” in Item 1A and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk” in Item 7A.

Backlog

Our approximate backlog of orders, believed to be firm, at December 31, 2008 and 2007, were as follows:

 

Dollar amounts in millions

     2008      2007

Air Conditioning Systems and Services

   $ 981.8    $ -  

Climate Control Technologies

     342.4      507.2

Industrial Technologies

     367.7      429.8

Security Technologies

     188.0      216.5

Total

   $   1,879.9    $   1,153.5

These backlog figures are based on orders received. While the major portion of our products are built in advance of order and either shipped or assembled from stock, orders for specialized machinery or specific customer application are submitted with extensive lead times and are often subject to revision, deferral, cancellation or termination. We expect to ship substantially the entire backlog at December 31, 2008 during 2009.

Environmental Matters

We continue to be dedicated to an environmental program intended to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process as well as to remediate identified

 

9


Table of Contents

environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. We have been also identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, our involvement is minimal.

In estimating our liability, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During 2008, we spent $6.9 million on capital projects for pollution abatement and control, and an additional $15.5 million for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of December 31, 2008, we have recorded reserves for environmental matters of $100.9 million. We believe that these expenditures and accrual levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

For a further discussion of our potential environmental liabilities, see also Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Environmental and Asbestos Matters and also Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

Asbestos Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a liability (which we periodically updated) for our actual and anticipated future asbestos settlement costs projected seven years into the future. We did not record a liability for future asbestos settlement costs beyond the seven-year period covered by our reserve because such costs previously were not reasonably estimable for the reasons detailed below.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we again reviewed our history and experience with asbestos-related litigation and determined that it had now become possible to make a reasonable estimate of our total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims. This determination was based upon our analysis of developments in asbestos litigation, including the substantial and continuing decline in the filing of non-malignancy claims against us, the establishment in many jurisdictions of inactive or deferral dockets for such claims, the decreased value of non-malignancy claims because of changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims, increasing focus of the asbestos litigation upon malignancy claims, primarily those involving mesothelioma, a cancer with a known historical and predictable future annual incidence rate, and our substantial accumulated experience with respect to the

Table of Contents

resolution of malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, filed against us. With the aid of an outside expert, we have estimated our total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims through 2053 at $755 million.

As a result, we recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of discontinued operations of $449 million ($277 million after-tax) which is the difference between the amount by which we increased our total estimated liability for pending and projected future asbestos-related claims and the amount that we expect to recover from insurers with respect to that increased liability.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane, we retained an outside expert to assist in calculating Trane’s asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities. As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations,” we are required to record the assumed asbestos obligations and associated insurance-related assets at their fair value at the Acquisition Date. We estimated that the assumed asbestos obligation and associated insurance-related assets at the Acquisition Date were $494 million and $249 million, respectively. These amounts were estimated based on certain assumptions and factors consistent with those described above.

For a further discussion of asbestos matters, see also Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Environmental and Asbestos Matters and also Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

Employees

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008, we increased our workforce by approximately 30,000 people. As of December 31, 2008, we employed approximately 60,000 people throughout the world.

Item 1A.      RISK FACTORS

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Before you invest in our publicly traded securities, you should know that making such an investment involves some risks, including the risks described below. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be negatively affected. In that case, the trading price of our Class A common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Relating to Our Businesses

Macroeconomic conditions, negative conditions in the financial, insurance and credit markets and changes in our credit ratings subject us to a number of risks.

The world financial markets have been experiencing extreme disruption in recent months, including, among other things, extreme volatility in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations of others. Governments have taken unprecedented actions intended to address extreme market conditions that include severely restricted credit and declines in asset values. While these conditions have not currently impaired our ability to access credit markets, insurance and finance our operations, there can be no assurance that there will not be further deterioration in the world financial markets, continued negative conditions in the global credit markets or a loss of confidence in the major economies, any of which may make it more difficult for us to obtain financing for our operations or increase the cost of obtaining financing as well as access insurance to manage risk.

In addition, our investment-grade credit ratings currently afford us lower borrowing rates on commercial paper, revolving credit agreements and debt offerings. Increased debt levels and/or decreased earnings could result in downgrades in our credit ratings, which, in turn, could impede access to the credit markets, reduce the total amount of commercial paper we could issue, raise our commercial paper borrowing costs and/or raise our long-term debt borrowing rates.

Finally, many of our customers rely on credit financing in order to purchase our products. If the tightening of credit in financial markets continues to adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases, this could result in a further decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products and services. Our global business is also adversely affected by decreases in the general level of economic activity and in business and consumer spending.

We may not realize the expected financial benefits from the acquisition of Trane Inc. and from our announced restructuring actions and this could have a material adverse effect on our business.

On June 5, 2008, we completed our acquisition of Trane. There are potential risks associated with growing our business through acquisitions such as our acquisition of Trane, including the failure to successfully integrate and realize the expected benefits of an acquisition. For example, with any acquisition and subsequent integration, there is the possibility that:

 

   

the business culture of the acquired business may not match well with our culture;

 

12


Table of Contents
   

technological and product synergies, economies of scale and cost reductions may not occur as expected;

 

   

management may be distracted from overseeing existing operations by the need to integrate acquired businesses;

 

   

we may be unable to maintain or increase the revenue growth rate of the acquired business;

 

   

we may acquire or assume unexpected liabilities;

 

   

unforeseen difficulties may arise in integrating operations and systems;

 

   

we may fail to retain and assimilate employees of the acquired business; and

 

   

we may experience problems in retaining customers and integrating customer bases.

Additionally, we previously announced restructuring actions to deal with slowing end market demand and we must implement these restructuring actions during this integration period. If we are unable to integrate our businesses successfully or implement these restructuring actions effectively, then we may fail to realize the anticipated synergies and growth opportunities or achieve the cost savings and revenue growth we anticipated from these actions and this could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are relying on an indemnification agreement with respect to any potential liability arising from a European Commission Investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law by Trane and its subsidiaries. If we were unable to rely on the indemnification agreement for any reason, any potential liability arising from the European Commission Investigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with Trane’s spinoff of the Vehicle Control Systems business into a new publicly traded company called WABCO Holdings Inc. (WABCO) in July 31, 2007, Trane entered into an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement (Indemnification Agreement) with, among others, American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which became a subsidiary of WABCO following the spinoff. Pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement, WABCO Europe has agreed to indemnify Trane and its subsidiaries and their respective affiliates against any fines related to the European Commission Investigation. For a further discussion of European Commission Investigation, see “Legal Proceedings.” If the European Commission were to impose the maximum fine allowable pursuant to applicable guidelines, the total liability to the Company could be approximately $1.1 billion based on Trane’s worldwide revenue in 2007, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent (provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice). WABCO has stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance. If WABCO Europe were unable to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement or if we were unable to rely on the Indemnification Agreement for any reason, any potential liability arising from the European Commission Investigation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our global operations subject us to economic risks.

Our global operations are dependent upon products manufactured, purchased and sold in the U.S. and internationally, including China, Brazil, Africa and Eastern Europe. These activities are subject to risks that are inherent in operating globally, including the following:

 

   

countries could change regulations or impose currency restrictions and other restraints;

 

   

in some countries, there is a risk that the government may expropriate assets;

 

   

some countries impose burdensome tariffs and quotas;

 

   

national and international conflict, including terrorist acts, could significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations; and

 

   

economic downturns, political instability and war or civil disturbances may disrupt production and distribution logistics or limit sales in individual markets.

Currency exchange rate and commodity price fluctuations may adversely affect our results.

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in non-U.S. currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. See Part II Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

More than 40% of our 2008 net revenues were derived outside the U.S., and we expect sales to non-U.S. customers to continue to represent a significant portion of our consolidated net revenues. Although we enter into currency exchange contracts to reduce our risk related to currency exchange fluctuations, changes in the relative values of currencies occur from time to time and may, in some instances, have a significant effect on our results of operations. Because we do not hedge against all of our currency exposure, our business will continue to be susceptible to currency fluctuations.

Furthermore, the reporting currency for our financial statements is the U.S. dollar. We have assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. To prepare our consolidated financial statements, we must translate those assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates. Consequently, increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus other currencies will affect the amount of these items in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value has not changed in their original currency.

We are also a large buyer of steel and non-ferrous metals, as well as other commodities required for the manufacture of our products. Volatility in the prices of these commodities could increase the costs of our products and services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. On a limited basis, we purchase commodity derivatives which reduce the volatility of the commodity prices for supplier contracts where fixed pricing is not available.

Significant shortages in the raw materials we use in our businesses and higher energy prices could increase our operating costs.

We rely on suppliers to secure raw materials, particularly steel and non-ferrous metals, required for the manufacture of our products. A disruption in deliveries from our suppliers or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to

 

14


Table of Contents

customers or increase our operating costs. We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the unavailability of some raw materials may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Additionally, we are exposed to large fluctuations for the price of petroleum-based fuel due to the instability of current market prices. Higher energy costs increase our operating costs and the cost of shipping our products to customers around the world. Consequently, sharp price increases, the imposition of taxes or an interruption of supply, could cause us to lose the ability to effectively manage the risk of rising fuel prices and may have an adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Changes in weather patterns and seasonal fluctuations may adversely affect certain segments of the Company’s business and impact overall results of operations.

Demand for certain segments of the Company’s products and services is influenced by weather conditions. For instance, Trane’s sales have historically tended to be seasonally higher in the second and third quarters of the year because, in the U.S. and other northern hemisphere markets, summer is the peak season for sales of air conditioning systems and services. Additionally, while there is demand for Trane’s products and services throughout the year, a significant percentage of total sales are related to U.S. residential and commercial construction activity, which is generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year. Therefore, results of any quarterly period may not be indicative of expected results for a full year and unexpected cool trends or unseasonably warm trends during the summer season could negatively or positively affect certain segments of the Company’s business and impact overall results of operations.

We face continuing risks relating to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)

On November 10, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including us, provide information relating to their participation in certain transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, we undertook a thorough review of our participation in the Oil for Food Program and provided the SEC with information responsive to its investigation of our participation in the program. On October 31, 2007, we announced that we had reached settlements with the SEC and the Department of Justice (DOJ) relating to certain payments made by our foreign subsidiaries in 2000-2003 in connection with the Oil for Food Program. Pursuant to the settlements with the SEC and DOJ, we have, among other things, (i) consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action, (ii) entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the DOJ, and (iii) agreed to implement improvements to our compliance program designed to enhance detection and prevention of violations of the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. If the DOJ determines, in its sole discretion, that we have committed a federal crime or have otherwise breached the DPA during its three-year term, we may be subject to prosecution for any federal criminal violation of which the DOJ has knowledge, including, without limitation, violations of the FCPA in connection with the Oil for Food Program. Breaches of the settlements with SEC and DOJ may also subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ, securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock. For a further discussion of the settlements with the SEC and DOJ, see “Legal Proceedings.”

Furthermore, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC that we are currently investigating certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. We have indicated to the SEC and DOJ that we are conducting a thorough investigation of these matters and that we would report back to them with our findings. The investigation of these matters began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane

 

15


Table of Contents

in June 2008 and is currently in progress. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared with them our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. These matters (and other matters which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our financial health.

We estimate that our available cash and our cash flow from operations will be adequate to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. In making this estimate, we have not assumed the need to make any material payments in connection with any pending litigation or investigations. As required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings, including current or future asbestos-related litigation, may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve and we may be required to make additional material payments, which could result in an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Such an outcome could have important consequences. For example, it could:

 

   

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;

 

   

restrict our ability to exploit business opportunities; and

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our payment obligations with respect to our outstanding indebtedness.

If the distribution of WABCO’s shares by Trane on July 31, 2007 were to fail to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), then Trane may be required to pay U.S. federal income taxes as well as Trane’s shareholders who received WABCO common stock in the distribution.

On July 31, 2007, Trane (then known as American Standard Companies Inc.) completed the spinoff of its vehicle control systems business into a new publicly traded company named WABCO. At the time, Trane received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) substantially to the effect that the distribution qualified as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the Code. In addition, Trane received an opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, tax counsel to Trane, substantially to the effect that the distribution will qualify as tax-free to Trane, WABCO and Trane shareholders under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code. The ruling and opinion were based on, among other things, certain assumptions as well as on the accuracy of certain factual representations and statements made by WABCO and Trane. In rendering its ruling, the IRS also relied on certain covenants that Trane and WABCO entered into, including the adherence to certain restrictions on WABCO’s and Trane’s future actions.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane in June 2008, we received an opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, tax counsel to us, substantially to the effect that the distribution should continue to qualify

 

16


Table of Contents

as tax-free to Trane, WABCO and Trane shareholders under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code. Notwithstanding receipt by Trane and us of the private letter ruling as well as the opinions of counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not later assert that the distribution should be treated as a taxable transaction.

If the distribution fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, then Trane would recognize a gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of WABCO’s common stock distributed to the Trane shareholders over (ii) Trane’s tax basis in such common stock. Under the terms of the Tax Sharing Agreement, in the event the distribution were to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and such failure was not the result of actions taken after the distribution by Trane or any of its subsidiaries or shareholders, WABCO would be responsible for all taxes imposed on Trane as a result thereof. In addition, each Trane shareholder who received WABCO common stock in the distribution generally would be treated as having received a taxable distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of WABCO’s common stock received (including any fractional share sold on behalf of the shareholder), which would be taxable as a dividend to the extent of the shareholder’s ratable share of Trane’s current and accumulated earnings and profits at the time (as increased to reflect any current income including any gain recognized by Trane on the taxable distribution). The balance, if any, of the distribution would be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Trane shareholder’s tax basis in its Trane stock, with any remaining amount being taxed as capital gain.

Risks Relating to Our Reorganization as a Bermuda Company

The reorganization exposed us and our shareholders to the risks described below. In addition, we cannot be assured that all of the anticipated benefits of the reorganization will be realized.

Changes in tax laws, changes in our status under U.S. or other tax laws or adverse determinations by taxing authorities could increase our tax burden or otherwise affect our financial condition or operating results, as well as subject our shareholders to additional taxes.

The realization of any tax benefit related to our reorganization could be impacted by changes in tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the IRS or any other tax authority. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been introduced to change the U.S. tax law that if enacted could increase our tax burden and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For instance, recent legislative proposals would broaden the circumstances under which we would be considered a U.S. resident, which would significantly diminish the realization of any tax benefit related to our reorganization. Other legislative proposals could override certain tax treaties and limit the treaty benefits on certain payments by our U.S. subsidiaries to our non-U.S. affiliates, which would adversely affect our effective tax rate. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislation. While we are currently monitoring these proposals and are investigating all options, we could still be subject to increased U.S. taxation on a going forward basis no matter what action we undertake if certain legislative proposals are enacted and/or certain tax treaties are amended.

While our U.S. operations are subject to U.S. tax, we believe that a significant portion of our non-U.S. operations are generally not subject to U.S. tax other than withholding taxes. Our conclusions are based on, among other things, our determination that we, and a significant portion of our foreign subsidiaries, are not currently controlled foreign corporation’s (CFC) within the meaning of the U.S. tax laws, although the IRS or a court may not concur with our conclusions. A non-U.S. corporation, such as us, will constitute a CFC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if certain ownership criteria are met. If the IRS or a court determined that we (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) were a CFC, then each of our

 

17


Table of Contents

U.S. shareholders who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock (or the stock of any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) on the last day of the applicable taxable year (a “10% U.S. Voting Shareholder”) would be required to include in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes its pro rata share of our subpart F and other similar types of income (and the subpart F and other similar types of income of any of our subsidiaries determined to be a CFC) for the period during which we (and our non-U.S. subsidiaries) were a CFC. In addition, gain on the sale of our shares realized by such a shareholder may be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the shareholder's proportionate share of our and our CFC subsidiaries' undistributed earnings and profits accumulated during the shareholder's holding period of the shares while we (or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries) are a CFC. Treatment of us or any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries as a CFC could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

On July 20, 2007, we, and our consolidated subsidiaries, received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to our consolidated subsidiaries’ tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of our reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with our reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS has disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. Proposed adjustments on this issue, if upheld in their entirety, would result in additional taxes with respect to the 2002 tax year of approximately $190 million plus interest and would require us to record additional charges associated with this matter. For a further discussion of the IRS audit, see “Legal Proceedings” and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

We strongly disagree with the view of the IRS and are vigorously contesting these proposed adjustments. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of our position, we believe that we have adequately reserved for this matter. At this time, the IRS has not yet begun their examination of our consolidated subsidiaries’ tax filings for years subsequent to the 2002 tax year. We believe it likely, if the above adjustments or a portion of such adjustments by the IRS are ultimately sustained, that these adjustments will also affect subsequent tax years.

As noted above, the IRS did not contest the validity of our reincorporation in Bermuda in the above-mentioned notice. We believe that neither we nor our consolidated subsidiary IR-New Jersey will incur significant U.S. federal income or withholding taxes as a result of the transfer of the shares of our subsidiaries that occurred as part of the reorganization. However, we cannot give any assurances that the IRS will agree with our determination.

The inability to realize any anticipated tax benefits related to our reorganization, discussed above in this section “Risks Relating to our Reorganization as a Bermuda Company”, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Legislation regarding U.S. companies which reincorporate or have reincorporated outside the U.S. could adversely affect us and our subsidiaries.

The U.S. federal government and various states and municipalities have enacted or may enact legislation intended to deny government contracts to U.S. companies that reincorporate outside of the U.S. or have reincorporated outside of the U.S.

For instance, the Homeland Security Act of 2002, as amended, includes a provision that prohibits “inverted domestic corporations” and their subsidiaries from entering into contracts with the Department

 

18


Table of Contents

of Homeland Security. In addition, the State of California adopted legislation intended to limit the eligibility of certain non-U.S. chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts. More recently, the 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, which became effective in December 2007, prohibits any federal government agency from using funds appropriated by Congress for fiscal year 2008 to pay an inverted domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries for work performed or products provided under certain federal contracts (“Affected Contracts”). Although the amount of monies already paid to us or to be paid to us under the Affected Contracts is not material to the Company, we cannot provide any assurance that the impact of future actions taken by the government in this area will not be materially adverse to our operations.

Bermuda law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

We are organized under the laws of Bermuda. It may not be possible to enforce court judgments in Bermuda that are obtained in the U.S. against us or our directors or officers in Bermuda based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. We have been advised that the U.S. and Bermuda do not currently have a treaty providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any U.S. federal or state court based on civil liability, whether or not based solely on U.S. federal or state securities laws, would not automatically be enforceable in Bermuda.

In addition, as a result of Bermuda law, it would be difficult for a holder of our securities to effect service of process within the United States. However, we have irrevocably agreed that we may be served with process with respect to actions based on offers and sales of securities made in the United States by having Ingersoll-Rand Company, 155 Chestnut Ridge Road, Montvale, New Jersey 07645, be our U.S. agent appointed for that purpose.

Bermuda companies are governed by the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, which differs in some material respects from laws generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested director and officer transactions, shareholder lawsuits and indemnification. Under Bermuda law, the duties of directors and officers of a Bermuda company are generally owed to the company only. Shareholders of Bermuda companies do not generally have rights to take action against directors or officers of the company, and may only do so in limited circumstances. Under Bermuda law, a company may also agree to indemnify directors and officers for any personal liability, not involving fraud or dishonesty, incurred in relation to the company. Thus, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of the U.S.

Item 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, we are involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including commercial and contract disputes, employment matters, product liability claims, environmental liabilities and intellectual property disputes. In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Oil for Food Program and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) matters

As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, the Company undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Oil for Food Program, provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order and provided additional information requested by the SEC. During a March 27, 2007 meeting with the SEC, at which a representative of the Department of Justice (DOJ) was also present, the Company began discussions concerning the resolution of this matter with both the SEC and DOJ. On October 31, 2007, the Company announced it had reached settlements with the SEC and DOJ relating to this matter. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company paid a total of $6.7 million in penalties, interest and disgorgement of profits. The Company has consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action and has entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the DOJ. Under both settlements, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement improvements to its compliance program that are consistent with its longstanding policy against improper payments. In the settlement documents, the Government noted that the Company thoroughly cooperated with the investigation, that the

 

21


Table of Contents

Company had conducted its own complete investigation of the conduct at issue, promptly and thoroughly reported its findings to them, and took prompt remedial measures.

In a related matter, on July 10, 2007, representatives of the Italian Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) requested documents from Ingersoll-Rand Italiana S.p.A pertaining to certain Oil for Food transactions undertaken by that subsidiary of the Company which resulted in charges being filed against that subsidiary. Such transactions had previously been reported to the SEC and DOJ. At a December 12, 2008 hearing, all charges against the subsidiary were dismissed.

Additionally, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC that we are currently investigating certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. We have indicated to the SEC and DOJ that we are conducting a thorough investigation of these matters and that we would report back to them with our findings. The investigation of these matters began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008 and is currently in progress. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. These matters (and other matters which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

The European Commission Investigation

In November 2004, Trane was contacted by the European Commission as part of a multi-company investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law relating to the distribution of bathroom fixtures and fittings in certain European countries. On March 28, 2007, Trane, along with a number of other companies, received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission. The Statement of Objections, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of European Union competition rules by numerous bathroom fixture and fittings companies, including Trane and certain of its European subsidiaries engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business. Certain of these legal entities were transferred to WABCO as part of a legal reorganization in connection with the spinoff of Trane’s Vehicle Control Systems business that occurred on July 31, 2007. Trane and certain of its subsidiaries and, in light of that legal reorganization, certain of WABCO’s subsidiaries will be jointly and severally liable for any fines that result from the investigation. However, pursuant to an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement among Trane and certain other parties (Indemnification Agreement), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which is a subsidiary of WABCO following the reorganization, will be responsible for, and will indemnify Trane and its subsidiaries (including certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business) and their respective affiliates against, any fines related to this investigation. Trane and the charged subsidiaries responded to the European Commission on August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2007, respectively. A hearing with the European Commission regarding the response to the Statement of Objections was conducted from November 12-14, 2007, in Brussels. WABCO Europe and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (2006 Guidelines) and stated its intention to apply these guidelines in all cases in which a Statement of Objections is issued after September 2006. In applying the 2006 Guidelines, the Commission retains considerable discretion in calculating the fine although the European Union regulations provide for a cap on the maximum fine equal to ten percent of Trane’s worldwide revenue attributable to all of its products for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the fine is imposed. If the maximum fine is levied in 2009, the total liability could be approximately $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue, subject

to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance.

Tax Related Matters

On July 20, 2007, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company’s tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS has disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. These adjustments proposed by the IRS, if upheld in their entirety, would result in additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $190 million plus interest, and would require the Company to record additional charges associated with this matter. At this time, the IRS has not yet begun their examination of the Company’s tax filings for years subsequent to 2002. However, if these adjustments or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

The Company strongly disagrees with the view of the IRS and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007. The Company has and intends to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. The Company, in consultation with its outside advisors, carefully considered many factors in determining the terms of the intercompany debt, including the obligor’s ability to service the debt and the availability of equivalent financing from unrelated parties, two factors prominently cited by the IRS in denying debt treatment. The Company believes that its characterization of that obligation as debt for tax purposes was supported by the relevant facts and legal authorities at the time of its creation. The subsequent financial results of the relevant companies, including the actual cash flow generated by operations and the production of significant additional cash flow from dispositions have confirmed the ability to service this debt. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of its position, the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this matter. As the Company moves forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted within the next 12 months. However, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations or financial position. For a further discussion of tax matters, see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

Asbestos Related Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either Ingersoll Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, P.O. Box 358015, New York, NY 15252-8015, (800) 507-9357) is our transfer agent, registrar and dividend reinvestment agent.

Future dividends on our Class A common shares, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant, as well as our ability to pay dividends in compliance with the Bermuda Companies Act. This Act regulates the payment of dividends and the making of distributions from contributed surplus. We may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that: (i) we are, or would be after the payment, unable to pay our liabilities as they become due; or (ii) the realizable value of our assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of our liabilities and issued share capital and share premium accounts.

Information regarding equity compensation plans required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item is incorporated by reference from our definite Proxy Statement for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Shares of IR-Limited owned by a subsidiary are treated as treasury stock and are recorded at cost on the balance sheet. During 2008, we issued 45.4 million IR-Limited Class A common shares to fund the equity portion of the consideration paid for the Trane acquisition. During 2007, we repurchased 39.7 million Class A common shares at a cost $1,999.9 million under our existing $4 billion share repurchase program. During 2006, we completed our prior $2 billion share repurchase program by repurchasing 27.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,096.3 million.

Performance Graph

The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our Class A common shares with the cumulative total return on (i) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, (ii) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Machinery Index, and (iii) the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Index for the five years ended December 31, 2008. The graph assumes an investment of $100 in our Class A common shares, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Machinery Index, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Index on December 31, 2003 and assumes the reinvestment of dividends.

We are including a new index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Index, in the graph this year because we have significantly changed our business portfolio over the past three years. During this period, we have divested heavy machinery and construction-related businesses, which focused on original equipment revenues and were more affected by cyclical market behavior. With the acquisition of Trane, our businesses are more focused on replacement and recurring revenue markets. Consequently, while we are a member of both the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Machinery Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Index, we believe that a comparison of our performance to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrial Index is a more appropriate measure.

   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Overview

Organization

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (we, our, the Company) is a diversified, global company that provides products, services and solutions to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, secure homes and commercial properties, and increase industrial productivity and efficiency. Our business segments consist of Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies, each with strong brands and leading positions within their respective markets. We generate revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sale and service of a diverse portfolio of industrial and commercial products that include well-recognized, premium brand names such as Club Car ® , Hussmann ® , Ingersoll-Rand ® , Schlage ® , Thermo King ® and Trane ® .

We are dedicated to inspiring progress for our customers, shareholders, employees and communities by achieving:

 

   

Dramatic Growth , by focusing on innovative solutions for our customers;

 

   

Operational Excellence , by pursuing continuous improvement in all of our operations; and

 

   

Dual Citizenship , by bringing together the talents of all Ingersoll Rand people to leverage the capabilities of our global enterprise.

To achieve these goals and to become a more diversified company with strong growth prospects, we transformed our enterprise portfolio by divesting cyclical, low-growth and asset-intensive businesses. In addition, our acquisition strategy has helped deliver more consistent revenue and earnings performance across all phases of the economic cycle. Aside from our portfolio transformation, we continue to focus on increasing our recurring revenue stream, which includes revenues from parts, service, used equipment and rentals. We also intend to continuously improve the efficiencies, capabilities, products and services of our high-potential businesses.

Trends and Economic Events

We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors, as well as political factors, wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic and industry diversity, as well as the diversity of our product sales and services, has helped limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.

The recent extreme volatility and disruption of financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia have contributed to weakening worldwide economic conditions. As a result, we have seen weaker

Table of Contents

demand for many of our products and services during the second half of 2008. In addition, the uncertainty related to the cost and availability of credit has further depressed the overall business climate. Our revenues from continuing operations for 2008 increased 50.9% compared with 2007, primarily associated with the acquisition of Trane Inc. (Trane). Excluding the results of Trane, our revenues from continuing operations for 2008 increased less than 1% compared with 2007.

Despite the increasingly challenging economic environment, we continue to execute our business strategy. The divestiture of both Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit in 2007, in addition to the acquisition of Trane in 2008, has enabled us to become more balanced across the products we offer. In addition, our current enterprise-wide restructuring actions initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008 are designed to streamline the footprint of our manufacturing facilities and reduce our general and administrative cost base.

Given the broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. In addition, our order rates are indicative of future revenue and thus a key measure of anticipated performance. In those industry segments where we are a capital equipment provider, revenues depend on the capital expenditure budgets and spending patterns of our customers, who may delay or accelerate purchases in reaction to changes in their businesses and in the economy.

For 2009, we expect current market conditions continuing to negatively affect our financial results. Declining markets in North America and Western Europe partially offset by slight to moderate growth in the developing economies of Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America will have a negative impact. In addition, with more than 40% of our revenues generated outside of the U.S., the recent appreciation of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies could negatively impact our 2009 revenue.

Despite the current economic turmoil, we have a solid foundation of global brands and leading market shares in all of our major product lines. In addition, our growing geographic and industry diversity coupled with our large installed product base provides growth opportunities within our service, parts and replacement revenue streams.

Acquisition of Trane

At the close of business on June 5, 2008 (the Acquisition Date), we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trane. Trane, previously named American Standard Companies Inc., provides systems and services that enhance the quality and comfort of the air in homes and buildings around the world. Trane’s systems and services have leading positions in premium commercial, residential, institutional and industrial markets, a reputation for reliability, high quality and product innovation and a powerful distribution network. Trane’s 2007 annual revenues were $7.5 billion.

We paid a combination of (i) 0.23 of an IR-Limited Class A common share and (ii) $36.50 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding share of Trane common stock. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $9.6 billion, including change in control payments and direct costs of the transaction. We financed the cash portion of the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, commercial paper and a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

For further details on the acquisition of Trane, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Significant events in 2008

As discussed in Acquisition of Trane above, on June 5, 2008, we acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trane for approximately $9.6 billion.

In August 2008, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance and issued $1.6 billion of long-term debt pursuant to the shelf registration statement. This issuance consisted of $250 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2010, $600 million 6.000% Senior Notes due in 2013 and $750 million 6.875% Senior Notes due in 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited, which directly owns 100% of the subsidiary issuer, IR Global Holding Company Limited. The net proceeds from the offering were used to partially reduce the amount outstanding under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility, which had a balance of $754 million at December 31, 2008.

In October 2008, we announced plans to initiate enterprise-wide restructuring actions. These actions include streamlining the footprint of manufacturing facilities and reducing the general and administrative cost base. Projected costs will approximate $110 million. As of December 31, 2008, we have incurred $71 million of costs associated with this restructuring.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we tested goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. As a result of decreased global equity valuations, the tightening of industrial and retail end markets and a resulting decline in our 2009 projected financial performance, we incurred a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $3,710.0 million, $3,385.0 million after-tax.

Significant events in 2007

On November 30, 2007, we completed the sale of our Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments business units (collectively, Compact Equipment) to Doosan Infracore for cash proceeds of approximately $4.9 billion, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. Compact Equipment manufactured and sold compact equipment including skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini-excavators and telescopic tool handlers; portable air compressors, generators, light towers; general-purpose light construction equipment; and attachments. We are currently in the process of resolving the final purchase price adjustments with Doosan Infracore.

On April 30, 2007, we completed the sale of our Road Development business unit to AB Volvo (publ) for cash proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion. The Road Development business unit manufactured and sold asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of discontinued operations of $449 million ($277 million after-tax) relating to the company's liability for all pending and estimated future asbestos claims through 2053. This charge resulted from an increase in our recorded liability for asbestos claims by $538 million, from $217 million to $755 million, offset by a corresponding $89 million increase in our recorded asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries, from $161 million to $250 million at December 31, 2007. For a further discussion of asbestos matters, see Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.

On July 20, 2007, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries received a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) containing proposed adjustments to the Company’s tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS has disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. These adjustments proposed by the IRS, if upheld in their entirety, would result in additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $190 million plus interest, and would require the Company to record additional charges associated with this matter. At this time, the IRS has not yet begun their examination of the Company’s tax filings for years subsequent to 2002. However, if these adjustments or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

The Company strongly disagrees with the view of the IRS and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007. The Company has and intends to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. The Company, in consultation with its outside advisors, carefully considered many factors in determining the terms of the intercompany debt, including the obligor’s ability to service the debt and the availability of equivalent financing from unrelated parties, two factors prominently cited by the IRS in denying debt treatment. The Company believes that its characterization of that obligation as debt for tax purposes was supported by the relevant facts and legal authorities at the time of its creation. The subsequent financial results of the relevant companies, including the actual cash flow generated by operations and the production of significant additional cash flow from dispositions have confirmed the ability to service this debt. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of its position, the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this matter. As the Company moves forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted within the next 12 months. However, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations or financial position. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of tax matters.

During 2007, we repurchased 39.7 million Class A common shares at a cost $1,999.9 million under our existing $4 billion share repurchase program. This repurchase program was originally authorized by the Board of Directors in December 2006 to repurchase up to $2 billion and subsequently expanded to $4 billion in May 2007.

Significant Events in 2006

During 2006, we completed our original $2 billion share repurchase program by repurchasing 27.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,096.3 million. This share repurchase program was originally authorized by the Board of Directors in August 2004 and subsequently expanded in August 2005. In December 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $2 billion worth of Class A common shares. No amounts were repurchased under the December 2006 authorization as of December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

On October 6, 2006, we received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to our tax filings in connection with an audit of the 1998 through 2000 tax years. The principal proposed adjustments consist of the disallowance of certain capital losses taken in our tax returns in 1999 and 2000. The disallowance would result in additional taxes and penalties of approximately $155 million, plus interest through October 6, 2006, of approximately $62 million. As a result, in the third quarter of 2006, we added approximately $27 million ($0.08 per dilutive share) to previously established reserves. In order to reduce the potential interest expense associated with this matter, we made a payment to the IRS of $217 million in the third quarter of 2007. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of tax matters.

The discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in our results of operations for the periods presented. Included in the review are certain non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is meaningful to provide the relative impact of integration and restructuring charges, non-recurring cost related to the acquisition of Trane and impairment charges in order to present a better understanding of our results on a period to period comparative basis. The adjusted information is intended to be more indicative of our core operating results.

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by 51%, or $4,464.3 million, compared with the same period of 2007, which primarily resulted from the following:

 

Volume/product mix

     -4.5 %

Pricing

     2.5 %

Currency exchange rates

     2.0 %

Acquisitions

     51.0 %

Total

     51.0 %

The acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008 increased revenues by $4,401.3 million during the year. Excluding the results of Trane, revenues increased by 0.7%, or $63.0 million. Softening overall demand in many major end-markets was the primary driver of the volume reduction. However, we continue to make progress in increasing recurring revenues, which improved by 6% over prior year and accounted for 19% of net revenues in 2008.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 9%, or $729.4 million, compared with the same period of 2006, which primarily resulted from the following:

 

Volume/product mix

     4.0 %

Pricing

     2.0 %

Acquisitions

     2.5 %

Currency exchange rates

     0.5 %

Total

     9.0 %

Revenues increased significantly in the European, Asian and Latin American regions as volumes, product mix and pricing all improved during 2007. North American revenues increased moderately compared to 2006. These increases occurred in each of our business segments. Recurring revenues continue to be a source of growth as they improved by 9% over the prior year and accounted for 18% of net revenues in 2007.

Cost of Goods Sold

For the year ended December 31, 2008, cost of goods sold increased by $3,476.1 million compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Trane. In addition, cost of goods sold included $56.7 million of restructuring and integration costs compared to restructuring costs of $24.8 million in 2007. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased to 73.7% compared with 71.6% for the same period of 2007. Excluding the results of Trane, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue would have been 72.7%. Higher material costs and unfavorable business and product mix more than offset price increases. In addition, decreased leverage due to lower volumes contributed to the year-over-year increase.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly to 71.6% compared with 71.8% for the same period of 2006. Increased leverage on higher revenues provided a benefit which was offset by unfavorable mix and higher material costs. Restructuring costs, which accounted for $24.8 million of the year-over-year increase, had a 0.3% impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2008, selling and administrative expense increased by $909.8 million compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of Trane. In addition, selling and administrative expense included $34.2 million of restructuring and integration costs compared to $3.9 million of restructuring costs in 2006. Selling and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 17.7% compared with 16.3% for the same period of 2007. Excluding the results of Trane, selling and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue would have been 16.6%. Decreased leverage due to lower volumes more than offset expense reduction and price increases.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.3% compared with 15.8% for the same period of 2006. This increase was primarily due to increased costs of $23 million associated with the divestiture of Compact Equipment and the Road

Development business unit. In addition, share-based compensation expense of $20 million and the prior year adjustment of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $15 million also contributed to the increase. These additional costs were partially offset by better leverage from higher revenue.

Asset Impairment

During the fourth quarter of 2008, we tested goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. As a result of decreased global equity valuations, the tightening of industrial and retail end markets and a resulting decline in our 2009 projected financial performance, we incurred a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $3,710.0 million, $3,385.0 million after-tax.

The following table summarizes the impairment charges that were taken by sector during 2008:

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by $3,631.6 million compared with the same period of 2007. The primary driver of the year-over-year decrease related to the $3,710.0 million asset impairment charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008. Results were further impacted by the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008 in addition to related restructuring and integration cost. Excluding these items, operating margins would have been 7.8%. Lower volumes, higher commodity costs and an unfavorable business and product mix were partially offset by expense reduction, productivity actions and improved pricing.

Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $59.3 million or 5.9%, compared with the same period of 2006. Excluding restructuring charges, operating income would have increased by 8.8% to $1,086.5 million. The increase in operating income was mainly attributable to increased revenues, productivity improvements, improved pricing and favorable volumes. These benefits were partially offset by higher material costs and an unfavorable product mix. However, these cost increases, coupled with the unfavorable product mix, held operating margins flat at 12.4% compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased $109.2 million compared with the same period of 2007. The increase is primarily related to significantly higher debt levels used to help fund the acquisition of Trane in June 2008.

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by $2.6 million compared with the same period of 2006. The increase was mainly attributable to higher year-over-year average debt levels due to the issuance and subsequent repayment of commercial paper during the year.

Other, Net

The year-over-year changes in Other, net primarily resulted from the following:

Other

     6.1       (4.2 )     13.1  

Other, net

   $ 43.2     $ 15.9     $ (7.3 )

For the year ended December 31, 2008, Other, net increased by $27.3 million compared with the same period of 2007. The increase was a result of greater interest income generated by higher average cash balances prior to the acquisition of Trane in June 2008. The results were partially offset by currency losses due to significant volatility in currency exchange rates, predominately in the fourth quarter.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, Other, net increased by $23.2 million compared to the same period of 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income as result of higher average cash balances during 2007. Additionally, Other, net in 2006 included income from a reduction of a product liability reserve of approximately $9 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the effective tax rate was 7.5%. The tax rate was substantially below the U.S. Statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to the large impairment charge recognized in the fourth quarter, as well as earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which, in aggregate, have a lower effective rate. Excluding the impairment charge, the adjusted effective rate would have been 12.4%, compared with an effective rate of 21.8% in 2007. The 9.4 point reduction in the effective rate is primarily the result of lower earnings in high tax jurisdiction during 2008.

The effective tax rate increased approximately by 11% in 2007 compared with 2006. The increase in the effective tax rate during 2007 was primarily due to increased earnings in higher tax jurisdictions (7.2%) and increased tax reserves (3.2%) primarily associated with Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), a new accounting standard that we adopted in 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Review of Business Segments

We classify our business into four reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. The segment discussions that follow describe the significant factors contributing to the changes in results for each segment included in continuing operations.

Included in the review of our business segments are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that it is meaningful to provide the relative impact of integration and restructuring charges, non-recurring cost related to the acquisition of Trane and impairment charges in order to present a better understanding of our results on a period to period comparative basis. The adjusted information is intended to be more indicative of our core operating results.

Reported results for revenues and operating income for the six months and 25 days ended December 31, 2008 reflect year-to-date activity since the Acquisition Date (June 5, 2008 onward). In the fourth quarter of 2008, we recognized a non-cash charge of $3,310.0 million related to the impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets within the segment.

Included within operating income is $158.4 million of purchase accounting charges that are not expected to recur next year. These charges relate to inventory step-up, backlog amortization and in-process research and development costs. In addition, we recorded $20.3 million of severance and other business integration costs associated with the acquisition. Excluding these charges, operating income would have been $343.0 million with an adjusted operating margin of 7.8%.

Included in adjusted operating income is $81.1 million of costs associated with the amortization of intangible assets fair valued as of the Acquisition Date. We expect these costs to be an incremental expense in future periods as they relate to intangible assets with finite lives.

Commercial results decreased in both domestic and international markets. Increased revenues for parts, services and solutions were more than offset by a decline in equipment revenues. Residential results were impacted by continued weakness in the U.S. housing market.

2008 vs 2007

For the year ended December 31, 2008, net revenues decreased by 0.5% or $15.6 million, compared with the same period of 2007. The slight decrease in the year-over-year results were primarily due to lower volumes (4%) offset by a favorable currency impact (3%) and improved pricing.

Operating income decreased by 27.1% or $103.7 million during 2008. In the fourth quarter, we recognized a non-cash charge of $40.0 million related to the impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets within the segment. In addition, we recorded $38.6 million of restructuring charges associated with employee termination benefits and other cost associated with announced restructuring plans. Excluding the impairment charge and restructuring costs, operating income would have been $357.5 million, increasing the operating margin to 10.7% from 8.3%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by 11.7% or $47.5 million compared with the same period of 2007. The decrease was primarily related to lower volumes and product mix ($73 million), increased material costs ($46 million) partially offset by increased productivity ($51 million), improved pricing ($44 million) and a favorable currency impact.

The decrease in segment revenues primarily resulted from the decline in the truck market, which decreased refrigerated trailer and truck revenues in North America and Europe. In addition, sea-going container revenues, as well as bus and aftermarket revenues also decreased as a result of slower end market activity. Worldwide display cases and contracting revenue decreased due to declines in display case sales to regional supermarkets in the U.S. and a sharp decline in the installation business. However, sales of the TriPac ® auxiliary unit continued to experience substantial growth.

2007 vs 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net revenues increased by 6.4% or $201.4 million, compared with the same period of 2006. The main drivers of the increase were a favorable currency impact (4%), higher volumes (2%) and improved product pricing.

Operating income increased by 7.5% or $26.6 million during 2007. During the year, we recorded $22.4 million of restructuring charges relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Excluding these costs, operating income would have been $405.0 million, increasing the operating margin to 12.0% from 11.3%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 13.8% or $49.0 million compared with the same period of 2006. The increase was due to increased productivity ($68 million), improved product pricing ($44 million) and favorable currency impact ($15 million). These increases were partially offset by higher material costs ($46 million), unfavorable product mix ($20 million) and new product development ($8 million).

Table of Contents

Net revenues grew in the European, Asian and Latin American regions during the year ended 2007, benefiting from strong truck and trailer sales and year-over-year gains in bus and marine containers. These gains were partially offset by lower activity levels in the North American trailer markets. Revenues for service and installation increased with growth in the North American and Asian markets, offsetting weakness in the European market for display cases.

2008 vs 2007

For the year ended December 31, 2008, net revenues increased by 2.1% or $61.2 million, compared with the same period of 2007. The primary drivers of the year-over-year increase were improved pricing (2%), acquisitions (2%) and a favorable currency impact (1%). The improved results were partially offset by lower volumes and product mix (3%).

Operating income decreased by 9.8% or $38.3 million during 2008. In the fourth quarter, we recorded $9.6 million of restructuring charges associated with employee termination benefits and other cost associated with announced restructuring plans. Excluding the restructuring costs, operating income would have been $363.3 million, increasing the operating margin to 12.4% from 12.0%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 decreased by 7.6% or $29.7 million compared with the same period of 2007. The decreased was primarily related to higher material costs ($61 million), lower volumes and product mix ($42 million) and increased spending on new product development ($15 million). These reductions were partially offset by improved pricing ($62 million) and increased productivity ($46 million).

The increase in segment revenue was driven by the worldwide increase in the Air and Productivity Solutions business. However, lower volumes in all geographic areas in the second half of the year show the weakening industrial and fluid handling end markets. In addition, slower industrial production levels as well as the deferral of some maintenance by customers more than offset aftermarket growth. Club Car revenues declined in all geographic areas compared with 2007 mainly due to weak economic fundamentals in key golf, hospitality and recreation markets. However, the business continued to gain market share in the declining golf market and a softening utility vehicle market.

2007 vs 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net revenues increased by 11.6% or $299.4 million, compared with the same period of 2006. Higher volumes and product mix (5%), a favorable currency impact (2%), acquisitions (2%) and improved product pricing (2%) were the primary drivers of the year-over-year increase.

Operating income increased by 11.4% or $40.2 million during 2007. During the year, we recorded $1.0 million of restructuring charges relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Excluding these costs, operating income would have been $393.0 million, increasing the operating margin to 13.7% from 13.6%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 11.7% or $41.2 million compared with the same period of 2006. The increase was due to improved product pricing ($48 million), increased productivity ($33 million) and higher volumes ($32 million). These gains were partially offset by higher material costs ($63 million) and investments in new product development and productivity programs ($13 million).

Air Solutions revenues increased by 16% compared with 2006, mainly driven by favorable worldwide industrial markets and increased recurring revenues. Productivity Solutions revenues increased moderately compared with 2006, mainly due to non-U.S. growth in the industrial fluid and handling markets and higher service revenues, partially offset by a weak domestic market for tools. Club Car revenues increased by 10% compared with 2006, mainly due to growth in the sales of utility, off-road and aftermarket vehicles and ongoing market share gains in a soft golf market.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, net revenues increased by 0.7% or $17.4 million, compared with the same period of 2007. The slight year-over-year increase was primarily related to improved pricing (5%) and a favorable currency impact (1%). However, lower volumes offset most of the revenue gains made during the year.

Table of Contents

Operating income decreased by 76.8% or $333.1 million during 2008. In the fourth quarter, we recognized a non-cash charge of $360.0 million related to the impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and marketable securities within the segment. In addition, we recorded $13.1 million of restructuring charges associated with employee termination benefits and other costs associated with announced restructuring plans. Excluding the impairment charge and restructuring costs, operating income would have been $473.5 million, increasing the operating margin to 18.7% from 4.0%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased by 7.9% or $34.7 million compared with the same period of 2007. Improved pricing ($119 million) and productivity gains ($42 million) more than offset the decrease in volume ($76 million), increased material costs ($15 million) and a negative currency impact ($7 million).

Net revenues increased slightly during the year driven by electronic solutions growth in Asia. However, declines in the North American commercial construction market and well as in Europe during the fourth quarter significantly lowered year-over-year revenues. In addition, lower residential volume in North America was a result of lower same store sales at large customers and ongoing weakness in the new homebuilder channel.

2007 vs 2006

For the year ended December 31, 2007, net revenues increased by 10.0% or $228.6 million, compared with the same period of 2006. The primary drivers were higher volumes and product mix (5%) and improved product pricing (4%).

Operating income increased by 8.3% or $33.3 million during 2007. During the year, we recorded $5.3 million of restructuring charges relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. Excluding these costs, operating income would have been $438.8 million, increasing the operating margin to 17.5% from 17.2%.

On an adjusted basis, operating income for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased by 9.6% or $38.6 million compared with the same period of 2006. The increase was due to improved product pricing ($84 million) and increased productivity ($15 million). These gains were partially offset by higher material costs ($35 million), lower volumes ($16 million) and new product development ($6 million).

Net revenues grew in all regions during the year benefiting from strong worldwide commercial construction markets, especially in schools, universities and health-care facilities. Revenues from electronic access control and mechanical products also increased year-over-year. Market share gains from both the new home-builder channel and large retail customers increased revenue along with the introduction of residential electronic products and new product designs. These increases helped offset the effects of a declining North American residential market.

Refer to Note 22 in the consolidated financial statements for further details on asbestos-related matters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The global financial markets have been adversely affected by the current economic environment. The credit markets, including the commercial paper markets, have recently experienced adverse conditions including unprecedented volatility, reduced liquidity and increased interest rates. These factors generally increase the costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments and may affect the ability of borrowers to access these markets.

To date, our availability of funding has not been materially impacted by the recent turmoil in the credit markets. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, the cash generated by our operations, our receivable securitization program, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital markets will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for the foreseeable future.

The large cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2007 is attributable to the sale of both the Compact Equipment and the Road Development business units during 2007, which generated proceeds of $6,154.3 million. The lower cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2008 is a result of the acquisition of Trane.

In connection with the Trane acquisition, we entered into a $3.9 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility, with a 364-day term. We drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and the issuance of $1.5 billion in commercial paper, were used to fund the cash component of the consideration paid for the acquisition as well as to pay for related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.

In August 2008, we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance and issued $1.6 billion of long-term debt pursuant to the shelf registration statement through our wholly owned subsidiary, IR Global Holding Company Limited. This issuance consisted of $250 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2010, $600 million 6.000% Senior Notes due in 2013 and $750 million 6.875% Senior Notes due in 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR- Limited. The net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the amount outstanding under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

Interest on the fixed rate notes will be paid twice a year. We have the option to redeem them in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the debt offering documents. Interest on the floating rate notes will be paid four times a year. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations.

We repaid $0.5 billion of the outstanding balance under our commercial paper program during 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we had outstanding commercial paper borrowings of $1.0 billion. We expect to fund future maturities of commercial paper through new commercial paper issuances and cash generated from our operations.

In addition, we repaid $2.0 billion of our outstanding balance of the bridge loan facility during the third quarter of 2008. We used a combination of cash flows from operations and cash on hand, in addition to the $1.6 billion in proceeds received from the issuance of long-term debt. In October 2008, we reduced the facility size to $950 million. As of December 31, 2008, our outstanding balance of the senior unsecured bridge loan facility was $754 million after a $196 million payment in the fourth quarter of 2008. The balance is scheduled to mature in June 2009. We expect to repay the outstanding amount through an expansion of our accounts receivable securitization program, future debt issuances and/or an extension of the bridge loan facility for an additional 364 days.

Debentures with Put Feature

At December 31, 2007, we had outstanding $547.9 million of fixed rate debentures which only requires early repayment at the option of the holder. These debentures contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. If these options are not exercised, the final maturity dates would range between 2027 and 2028.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on approximately $202 million of the debentures, which was repaid in November 2008. As a result, approximately $346 million remained outstanding as of December 31, 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, holders of these debentures will have the option to exercise the put feature on approximately $39 million

Table of Contents

of the remaining debentures. In the fourth quarter of 2009, holders of these debentures will have the option to exercise the put feature on approximately $307 million of the remaining debentures. Based on our cash flow forecast, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to repay any amounts redeemable as a result of these put features.

Pension Plans

Our investment objectives in managing defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long term, minimizes our required contributions at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements.

We monitor the impact of market conditions on our funding requirements and pension plan expense on a quarterly basis. As a result of the current market environment, our pension plans have experienced negative returns of $523.2 million during 2008. Consequently, this will increase pension expense in 2009 and require cash contributions to our pension plan. However, none of our pension plans have experienced any significant impact on their liquidity to pay retirees in the plans due to the volatility in the markets. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the years ended December 31, respectively. For additional details, please see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the consolidated financial statements.

Financing cash flow provided by (used in) continuing operations

     2,778.1       (2,563.1 )     (1,343.2 )

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $356.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with $829.9 million in 2007. The change was primarily related to tax payments of approximately $1.1 billion paid to various taxing authorities, $594.4 million associated with the Compact Equipment divestiture. Tax payments in 2007 were approximately $470 million. In addition, cash flows from operating activities include Trane cash flows from operations since the Acquisition Date.

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased to $829.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $813.1 in 2006. The change was primarily due to higher cash-based earnings in 2007 in addition to improved working capital management. However, these improvements were partially offset by the $217 million payment to the IRS made during 2007. For further details regarding this tax payment, see Note 19 in the consolidated financial statements.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $7,306.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with net cash provided by continuing operations of $6,052.4 million in 2007. The change is primarily attributable to cash used for the acquisition of Trane in 2008. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2007, net cash proceeds of $6,154.3 million was received related to the sale of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit.

operations of $28.7 million in 2006. The large change in investing activities was primarily attributable to the net proceeds of $6,154.3 million from the sale of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit in 2007.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $2,778.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared with $2,563.1 million of net cash used in financing activities during 2007. The change in financing activities primarily relates to the outstanding balance of both our bridge loan facility and commercial paper which were used to finance the acquisition of Trane. In addition, $1.6 billion relates to the net proceeds from our long-term debt issuance in August 2008.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $2,563.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with $1,343.2 million in 2006. The change in financing activities was primarily due to the increase in repurchases of Class A common shares and the repayment of $551.7 million of short-term and long-term debt. During 2007, we repurchased approximately 39.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,999.9 million. During 2006, we repurchased 27.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,096.3 million.

Capital Resources

Based on historical performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance, the cash generated from our operations, our receivable securitization program, our committed credit lines and our expected ability to access capital markets will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations through at least the next 12 months.

Capital expenditures were $306.0 million, $119.7 million and $144.8 million for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our investments continue to improve manufacturing productivity, reduce costs and provide environmental enhancements and advanced technologies for existing facilities. The capital expenditure program for 2009 is estimated to be approximately $325 million, including amounts approved in prior periods. Many of these projects are subject to review and cancellation at our option without incurring substantial charges.

During 2007, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts across each of our sectors. These actions include both workforce reductions as well as the consolidation of manufacturing facilities. In addition, we announced plans to initiate enterprise-wide restructuring actions in October 2008. These actions include streamlining the footprint of manufacturing facilities and reducing the general and administrative cost base. Projected costs will approximate $110 million. As of December 31, 2008, we have incurred $71 million of costs associated with this restructuring.

For financial market risk impacting the Company, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Capitalization

In addition to cash on hand and operating cash flow, we maintain significant credit availability under our commercial paper programs. Our ability to borrow at a cost-effective rate under the commercial paper programs is contingent upon maintaining an investment-grade credit rating. As of December 31, 2008, our credit ratings were as follows:

 

     Short-term    Long-term

Moody’s

   P-2    Baa1

Standard and Poor’s

   A-2    BBB+

The credit ratings set forth above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

In June 2008, we entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a three-year term. The line is unused and provides support for our commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes.

In addition to the three-year credit facility, we have committed revolving credit facilities consisting of two lines totaling $2.0 billion, of which $750 million expires in June 2009 and $1.25 billion expires in August 2010. These lines are unused and provide support for our commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes. Other available lines of credit were $811.7 million, of which $651.3 million were unused at December 31, 2008. These lines provide support for bank guarantees, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

Our public debt does not contain any financial covenants and our revolving credit lines have a debt-to-total capital covenant of 65%. As of December 31, 2008, our debt-to-total capital ratio was significantly beneath this limit.

Future expected obligations under our pension and postretirement benefit plans, income taxes, environmental and asbestos matters have not been included in the contractual cash obligations table above.

Pensions

In 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158), which required us to record the funded status of our pension plans on the balance sheet effective December 31, 2006.

In 2008, we adopted the measurement provision of SFAS 158 which required us to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year-end financial statements. Therefore, we changed the measurement date for our defined benefit plans from November 30 to December 31. We elected the alternative transition method whereby we determined net periodic pension cost for the 13 month period from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and allocated net periodic pension cost proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment of retained earnings and net periodic pension cost. As a result, we recorded a one-time after-tax pension charge of $1.2 million to Retained earnings ($1.8 million pre-tax). This change did not impact plans acquired through acquisitions in 2008.

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2008, we had net obligations on our balance sheet of $854.2 million, which consist of long-term prepaid pension costs of $0.2 million and current and non-current pension benefits liabilities of $854.4 million. As a result of the Trane acquisition, we recognized net obligations on our balance sheet at the Acquisition Date of $67.7 million, which consisted of long-term prepaid pension costs of $1.4 million and current and non-current pension benefit liabilities of $69.1 million. It is our objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants when required. However, certain plans are not or cannot be funded due to either legal or tax requirements in certain jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2008, approximately seven percent of our projected benefit obligation relates to plans that are unfunded.

Our investment objectives in managing defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long term, minimizes our required contributions at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements. Key investment management decisions reviewed regularly are asset allocations, investment manager performance, investment advisors and trustees. Asset/liability modeling (ALM) studies are used as the basis for global asset allocation decisions and are updated as required.

Based on ALM studies, the Company continues to adjust its target strategic global asset allocations for its plans to be approximately 40% in equity securities and 60% in debt securities, real estate and cash. Asset allocations are reviewed at least quarterly and appropriate adjustments are made. Trane pension assets have been included in our reviews since acquisition and will be included in our target strategic asset allocation. Trane’s historic target strategic allocation had a higher percentage invested in equity securities.

As of December 31, 2008, our asset allocation for the pension plans was 41% in equity securities and 52% in debt securities, and 7% real estate and other (including cash). Our allocation has been impacted by the current market environment.

Contributions to our pension plans were $64.1 million in 2008, $25.5 million in 2007, and $31.6 million in 2006. Our policy allows us to fund an amount, which could be in excess-of or less than pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. We anticipate funding the plans in 2009 in accordance with contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of each jurisdiction and currently project that we will be required to contribute approximately $105 million to our plans worldwide in 2009.

Our pension plans for U.S. non-collectively bargained employees, excluding Trane employees, provide benefits on a final average pay formula. Trane maintains a pension plan for Trane non-collectively bargained U.S. employees, where eligible employees may elect to participate and receive a credit equal to 3% of eligible pay. Collectively bargained pension plans, including Trane plans, principally provide benefits based on a flat benefit formula. Non-U.S. plans usually provide benefits based on an earnings and years of service formula. Additional supplemental benefit plans are maintained by us for officers and other key employees. Pension benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: $214.5 million in 2009, $242.0 million in 2010, $207.6 million in 2011, $218.9 million in 2012, $229.6 million in 2013 and $1,228.0 million for the years 2014 to 2018.

Net pension cost is based on the weighted-average assumptions used at the end of the previous year to calculate the pension benefit obligation, adjusted for any curtailment and settlement gains or losses, if any. Trane plans were based on assumptions determined at the Acquisition Date. Net periodic pension cost for 2008 was $31.0 million, of which $7.3 million related to Trane plans. The details of net periodic pension cost for 2008, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Net periodic pension cost for 2009 is projected to be approximately $160 million, of which $45 million relates to Trane pension plans.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

In 2006, we adopted SFAS 158, which requires us to record the funded status of our postretirement plans on the balance sheet effective December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 for the Company’s postretirement plans other than pensions resulted in an increase of total liabilities of $300.4 million and a decrease of total shareholder’s equity of $135.7 million (net of tax of $164.7 million).

In 2008, we adopted the measurement provision of SFAS 158 which required us to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of our fiscal year-end financial statements. Therefore, we changed the measurement date for our defined benefit plans from November 30 to December 31. We elected the alternative transition method whereby we determined net periodic pension cost for the 13 month period from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and allocated net periodic postretirement benefit cost proportionately between amounts to be recognized as an adjustment of retained earnings and net periodic pension cost. As a result, we recorded a one-time after-tax charge for postretirement benefits of $2.5 million to Retained earnings ($4.7 million pre-tax).

As a result of the acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008, we assumed unfunded obligations for postretirement benefits other than pensions in the amount of $268.9 million.

We fund postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis. Benefit payments for postretirement benefits, which are net of expected plan participant contributions and Medicare Part D subsidy, are expected to be paid as follows: $71.1 million in 2009, $73.4 million in 2010, $70.9 million in 2011, $76.7 million in 2012, $76.1 million in 2013 and $378.4 million for the years 2014 to 2018.

Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. As a result of adopting FIN 48, the company recorded additional liabilities to its previously established reserves, and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings of $145.6 million. The Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $589.6 million as of December 31, 2008.

The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States. In general, the examination of the Company’s material tax returns is completed for the years prior to 2000.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed the examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns through the 2000 tax year and has issued a notice proposing adjustments. The principal proposed adjustment relates to the disallowance of certain capital losses. The Company disputes the IRS position and protests have been filed with the IRS Appeals Division. In order to reduce the potential interest expense associated with this matter, the Company made a payment of $217 million in the third quarter of 2007, which reduced the Company’s total liability for uncertain tax positions by $141 million. Similarly, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company made an additional payment of $55.1 million related to a potential penalty assessment plus accrued interest on this matter. The Company continues

negotiating with the IRS on the ultimate settlement of this matter. The issues raised by the IRS associated with this payment are not related to the Company’s reorganization in Bermuda, or the Company’s intercompany debt structure.

On July 20, 2007, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company’s tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS has disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. These adjustments proposed by the IRS, if upheld in their entirety, would result in additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $190 million plus interest, and would require the Company to record additional charges associated with this matter. At this time, the IRS has not yet begun their examination of the Company’s tax filings for years subsequent to 2002. However, if these adjustments or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

The Company strongly disagrees with the view of the IRS and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007. The Company has and intends to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. The Company, in consultation with its outside advisors, carefully considered many factors in determining the terms of the intercompany debt, including the obligor’s ability to service the debt and the availability of equivalent financing from unrelated parties, two factors prominently cited by the IRS in denying debt treatment. The Company believes that its characterization of that obligation as debt for tax purposes was supported by the relevant facts and legal authorities at the time of its creation. The subsequent financial results of the relevant companies, including the actual cash flow generated by operations and the production of significant additional cash flow from dispositions have confirmed the ability to service this debt. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of its position, the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this matter. As the Company moves forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted within the next 12 months. However, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations or financial position.

The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FIN 48. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Environmental Matters

We continue to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, our involvement is minimal.

In estimating our liability, we have assumed we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During 2008, we spent $6.9 million on capital projects for pollution abatement and control, and an additional $15.5 million for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of December 31, 2008, we have recorded reserves for environmental matters of $100.9 million. We believe that these expenditures and accrual levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

For a further discussion of our potential environmental liabilities, see Note 22 in the consolidated financial statements.

Asbestos Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a liability (which it periodically updated) for its actual and anticipated future asbestos settlement costs projected seven years into the future. The Company did not record a liability for future asbestos settlement costs beyond the seven-year period covered by its reserve because such costs previously were not reasonably estimable for the reasons detailed below.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company again reviewed its history and experience with asbestos-related litigation and determined that it had now become possible to make a reasonable estimate of its total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims. This determination was based upon the Company’s analysis of developments in asbestos litigation, including the substantial and continuing decline in the filing of non-malignancy claims against the Company, the establishment in many jurisdictions of inactive or deferral dockets for such claims, the decreased value of non-malignancy claims because of changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims, increasing focus of the asbestos litigation upon malignancy claims, primarily those involving mesothelioma, a cancer with a known historical and predictable future annual incidence rate, and the Company’s substantial accumulated experience with respect to the resolution of malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, filed against it.

Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company retained Dr. Thomas Vasquez of Analysis, Research & Planning Corporation (collectively, “ARPC”) to assist it in calculating an estimate of the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims. ARPC is a respected expert in performing complex calculations such as this. ARPC has been involved in many asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities, and its valuation methodologies have been accepted by numerous courts.

The methodology used by ARPC to project the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims relied upon and included the following factors, among others:

 

   

ARPC’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos;

 

   

epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer;

 

   

the Company’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims against it and the historical ratio between the numbers of non-malignancy and lung cancer claims filed against the Company;

 

   

ARPC’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Company’s most recent three-year claims history;

 

   

an analysis of the Company’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an analysis of the Company’s most recent three-year history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at a 2.5% annual inflation rate, adjusted downward to 1.5% to take account of the declining value of claims resulting from the aging of the claimant population;

 

   

an analysis of the period over which the Company has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future.

Based on these factors, ARPC calculated a total estimated liability of $755 million for the Company to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future claims through 2053, which is ARPC’s reasonable best estimate of the time it will take to resolve asbestos-related claims. This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted for the time-value of money, and excludes the Company’s defense fees (which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred). After considering ARPC’s analysis and the factors listed above, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company increased its recorded liability for asbestos claims by $538 million, from $217 million to $755 million.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an $89 million increase in its assets for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries to $250 million. This represents amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In calculating this amount, the Company used the estimated asbestos liability for pending and projected future claims calculated by ARPC. It also considered the amount of insurance available, gaps in coverage, allocation methodologies, solvency ratings and creditworthiness of the insurers, the amounts already recovered from and the potential for settlements with insurers, and the terms of existing settlement agreements with insurers.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of discontinued operations of $449 million ($277 million after-tax), which is the difference between the amount by which the Company increased its total estimated liability for pending and projected future asbestos-related claims and the amount that the Company expects to recover from insurers with respect to that increased liability.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane, the Company requested ARPC to assist in calculating Trane’s asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities. As required by SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company is required to record the assumed asbestos obligations and associated insurance-related assets at their fair value at the Acquisition Date. The Company preliminarily estimates that the assumed asbestos obligation and associated insurance-related assets at the Acquisition Date to be $494 million and $249 million, respectively. These amounts were estimated based on certain assumptions and factors consistent with those described above.

Trane continues to be in litigation against certain carriers whose policies it believes provide coverage for asbestos claims. The insurance carriers named in this suit have challenged Trane’s right to recovery. Trane filed the action in April 1999 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, against various primary and lower layer excess insurance carriers, seeking coverage for environmental claims (the “NJ Litigation”). The NJ Litigation was later expanded to also seek coverage for asbestos-related liabilities from twenty-one primary and lower layer excess carriers and underwriting syndicates. The environmental claims against most of the insurers in the NJ Litigation have been settled. On September 19, 2005, the court granted Trane’s motion to add claims for insurance coverage for asbestos-related liabilities against 16 additional insurers and 117 new insurance policies to the NJ Litigation. The court also required the parties to submit all contested matters to mediation. Trane engaged in its first mediation session with the NJ Litigation defendants on January 18, 2006 and has engaged in active discussions since that time.

Trane has now settled with a substantial number of its insurers, collectively accounting for approximately 80% of its recorded asbestos-related liability insurance receivable as of January 31, 2009. More specifically, effective August 26, 2008, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement (“August 26 Agreement”) with the following five insurance companies or groups: 1) Hartford; 2) Travelers; 3) Allstate (solely in its capacity as successor-in-interest to Northbrook Excess & Surplus Insurance Company); 4) Dairyland Insurance Company; and 5) AIG. The August 26 Agreement provides for the reimbursement by the insurer signatories of a portion of Trane’s costs for asbestos bodily injury claims under specified terms and conditions and in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications from Trane. In addition, on September 12, 2008, Trane entered into a settlement agreement with Mt. McKinley Insurance Company and Everest Reinsurance Company, both members of the Everest Re group, resolving all claims in the NJ Litigation involving policies issued by those companies (“Everest Re Agreement”). The Everest Re Agreement contains a number of elements, including policy buy-outs and partial buy-outs in exchange for a cash payment along with coverage-in-place features similar to those contained in the August 26 Agreement, in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications by Trane. More recently, on January 26, 2009, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement with Columbia Casualty Company, Continental Casualty Company, and Continental Insurance Company in its own capacity and as successor-in-interest to Harbor Insurance Company and London Guarantee & Accident Company of New York (“CNA Agreement”). The CNA Agreement provides for the reimbursement by the insurer signatories of a portion of Trane’s costs for indemnification from Trane. Trane remains in settlement negotiations with the insurer defendants in the NJ Litigation not encompassed within the August 26 Agreement, Everest Re Agreement, and the CNA Agreement. Once concluded, we believe NJ Litigation will resolve coverage issues with respect to approximately 95% of Trane’s recorded insurance receivable in connection with asbestos-related liabilities.

The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Company’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company’s or ARPC’s calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions are identified above and include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolution of each such new claim, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company’s insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Company’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.

The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Company for asbestos-related claims acquired over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery.

From receipt of its first asbestos claims more than twenty five years ago to December 31, 2008, the Company has resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 253,000 claims arising from the legacy Ingersoll Rand businesses. The total amount of all settlements paid by the Company (excluding insurance recoveries) and by its insurance carriers is approximately $351 million, for an average payment per resolved claim of $1,387. The average payment per claim resolved during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $952. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

The table below provides additional information regarding asbestos-related claims filed against the legacy Ingersoll Rand businesses, excluding those filed against Trane, reflecting updated information for the last three years.

Open claims - January 1

   102,968      101,709      100,623

Open claims - December 31

   101,709      100,623      63,308  

* The significant increase in dismissals in 2008 is attributed to the dismissal of large numbers of dormant and/or inactive cases in Mississippi and New York. This amount reflects the Company’s emphasis on resolution of higher value malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, rather than lower value non-malignancy claims, which are more heavily represented in the Company’s historical settlements.

From receipt of the first asbestos claim more than twenty years ago through December 31, 2008, the Company has resolved approximately 74,000 (by settlement or dismissal) claims arising from the legacy Trane business. The Company and its insurance carriers have paid settlements of approximately $125.4 million on these claims, which represents an average payment per resolved claim of $1,694. At December 31, 2008, there were 98,339 open claims pending against Trane. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

At December 31, 2008, over 90 percent of the open claims against the Company are non-malignancy claims, many of which have been placed on inactive or deferral dockets and the vast majority of which have little or no settlement value against the Company, particularly in light of recent changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims.

At December 31, 2008, the Company’s liability for asbestos related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries totaled $1,195.2 million and $423.8 million, respectively, compared to $754.9 million and $249.8 million at December 31, 2007.

The (costs) income associated with the settlement and defense of asbestos related claims after insurance recoveries were as follows:

The Company records certain income and expenses associated with its asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations.

The European Commission Investigation

In November 2004, Trane was contacted by the European Commission as part of a multi-company investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law relating to the distribution of bathroom fixtures and fittings in certain European countries. On March 28, 2007, Trane, along with a number of other companies, received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission. The Statement of Objections, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of European Union competition rules by numerous bathroom fixture and fittings companies, including Trane and certain of its European subsidiaries engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business. Certain of these legal entities were transferred to WABCO as part of a legal reorganization in connection with the spinoff of Trane’s Vehicle Control Systems business that occurred on July 31, 2007. Trane and certain of its subsidiaries and, in light of that legal reorganization, certain of WABCO’s subsidiaries will be jointly and severally liable for any fines that result from the investigation. However, pursuant to an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement among Trane and certain other parties (Indemnification Agreement), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which is a subsidiary of WABCO following the reorganization, will be responsible for, and will indemnify Trane and its

subsidiaries (including certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business) and their respective affiliates against, any fines related to this investigation. Trane and the charged subsidiaries responded to the European Commission on August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2007, respectively. A hearing with the European Commission regarding the response to the Statement of Objections was conducted from November 12-14, 2007, in Brussels. WABCO Europe and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (2006 Guidelines) and stated its intention to apply these guidelines in all cases in which a Statement of Objections is issued after September 2006. In applying the 2006 Guidelines, the Commission retains considerable discretion in calculating the fine although the European Union regulations provide for a cap on the maximum fine equal to ten percent of Trane’s worldwide revenue attributable to all of its products for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the fine is imposed. If the maximum fine is levied in 2009, the total liability could be approximately $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance.

Other Matters

As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, the Company undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Oil for Food Program, provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order and provided additional information requested by the SEC. During a March 27, 2007 meeting with the SEC, at which a representative of the Department of Justice (DOJ) was also present, the Company began discussions concerning the resolution of this matter with both the SEC and DOJ. On October 31, 2007, the Company announced it had reached settlements with the SEC and DOJ relating to this matter. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company paid a total of $6.7 million in penalties, interest and disgorgement of profits. The Company has consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action and has entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ. Under both settlements, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement improvements to its compliance program that are consistent with its longstanding policy against improper payments. In the settlement documents, the Government noted that the Company thoroughly cooperated with the investigation, that the Company had conducted its own complete investigation of the conduct at issue, promptly and thoroughly reported its findings to them, and took prompt remedial measures.

In a related matter, on July 10, 2007, representatives of the Italian Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) requested documents from Ingersoll-Rand Italiana S.p.A pertaining to certain Oil for Food transactions undertaken by that subsidiary of the Company which resulted in charges being filed against that subsidiary. Such transactions had previously been reported to the SEC and DOJ. At a December 12, 2008 hearing, all charges against the subsidiary were dismissed.

Additionally, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC that we are currently investigating certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues

Table of Contents

under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. We have indicated to the SEC and DOJ that we are conducting a thorough investigation of these matters and that we would report back to them with our findings. The investigation of these matters began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008 and is currently in progress. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. These matters (and other matters which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

The following represents the changes in our product warranty liability for 2008 and 2007:

Certain office and warehouse facilities, transportation vehicles and data processing equipment are leased. Total rental expense was $144.8 million in 2008, $72.2 million in 2007 and $68.2 million in 2006. Minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable operating leases with terms in excess of one year for the next five years and thereafter, are as follows: $169.9 million in 2009, $130.8 million in 2010, $102.3 million in 2011, $77.7 million in 2012, $64.3 million in 2013 and $102.5 million thereafter.

Trane has commitments and performance guarantees, including energy savings guarantees, totaling $108.4 million extending from 2008-2028. These guarantees are provided under long-term service and maintenance contracts related to its air conditioning equipment and system controls. Through 2008, the Company has experienced one insignificant loss under such arrangements and considers the probability of any significant future losses to be remote.

We have other contingent liabilities of $5.1 million. These liabilities primarily result from performance bonds, guarantees and stand-by letters of credit associated with the prior sale of products by divested businesses.

As part of the reorganization of IR-New Jersey in 2001, IR-Limited has fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of all of IR-New Jersey’s issued public debt securities. No other subsidiary of ours guarantees these securities.

IR-New Jersey has unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey.

Public debt securities issued by IR Global Holding Company Limited are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited. No other subsidiary of ours guarantees these securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates. The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical.

 

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts – The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio. This estimate is based upon the Company’s policy, derived from its knowledge of its end markets, customer base and products.

 

 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets – We have significant goodwill and intangible assets on our balance sheet related to acquisitions. Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment or when there is a significant change in circumstances. Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized. Recoverability of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

As discussed in Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements, we have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3,710.0 million ($3,385.0 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2008, based on the estimated fair value and book value of our reporting units. The determination of the reporting units estimated fair value requires management to make assumptions about estimated cash flows, including profit margins, long-term forecasts, discount rates and terminal growth rates. Management developed these assumptions based on the market and geographic risks unique to each reporting unit. The calculation of fair value is based on two valuation techniques, a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues (market approach), with each method being equally weighted in the calculation. Under the income approach, we assumed a forecasted cash flow period of five years with discount rates generally ranging from 11%-15% and terminal growth rates generally ranging from 2%-5%. Under the market approach, management used an adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues based on the market information of comparable companies. Additionally, management compared the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to the Company’s overall market capitalization.

The assumptions used represent management’s best estimate of fair value. For those reporting units that did not have impairment, the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying value by at least 8%. Due to the ongoing uncertainty in market conditions, which may continue to negatively impact our market value, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and our indefinite-lived intangible assets. If market and economic conditions deteriorate further, this

could increase the likelihood of future non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill and/or our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

 

 

Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles – Long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows can be generated. Impairment in the carrying value of an asset would be recognized whenever anticipated future undiscounted cash flows from an asset are less than its carrying value. The impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset as determined by an estimate of discounted cash flows. The Company believes that its use of estimates and assumptions are reasonable and comply with generally accepted accounting principles. Changes in business conditions could potentially require future adjustments to these valuations.

 

 

Loss contingencies – Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental and asbestos matters and product liability, product warranty, worker’s compensation and other claims. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year.

 

 

Asbestos matters – Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The Company records a liability for its actual and anticipated future claims as well as an asset for anticipated insurance settlements. Although the Company was neither a manufacturer or producer of asbestos, some of its formerly manufactured components from third party suppliers utilized asbestos related components. As a result, the Company records certain income and expenses associated with our asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, net of tax, as they relate to previously divested businesses. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations. Refer to Note 22 in the consolidated financial statements for further details of asbestos-related matters.

 

 

Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectibility is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. Delivery generally occurs when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer. Revenue from maintenance contracts or extended warranties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company enters into agreements that contain multiple elements, such as equipment, installation and service revenue. For multiple-element arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements when the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, fair values of undelivered elements are known, customer acceptance has occurred, and there are only customary refund or return rights related to the delivered elements. Revenues from certain of our equipment and the related installation sold under construction-type contracts are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Statement of

 

61


Table of Contents
 

Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Revenues associated with contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting amounted to approximately five percent of the Company’s 2008 net revenues.

 

 

Securitization of receivables – The Company has sold interests in accounts receivable to special purpose entities previously created by Trane as part of accounts receivable financing facilities established in the U.S. with a major international bank. At the time of sale, the receivables become legally isolated from the Company, the purchasers have the right to pledge or exchange the receivables and the purchasers obtain effective control over the receivables. For these reasons, receivables sold under such arrangements are removed from the balance sheet at the time they are sold. Any retained interests in receivables sold are carried at fair value in other current assets.

 

 

Income taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and non-U.S. tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. As a result of adopting FIN 48, the Company recorded additional liabilities to its previously established reserves, and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings of $145.6 million. Total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $589.6 million and $379.8 million, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the inclusion of unrecognized tax positions attributable to the Trane business.

The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income, and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of these matters. The Company will adjust its estimate if significant events so dictate. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes in the period that the matter is finally resolved.

 

 

Employee benefit plans – The Company provides a range of benefits to eligible employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement and postemployment benefits. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions including

 

62


Table of Contents
 

discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality and turnover rates and health-care cost trend rates. Actuarial valuations are performed to determine expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated and amortized into earnings over future periods. Effective December 31, 2006, these effects are generally recognized in shareholders’ equity on an annual basis, due to the adoption of SFAS 158. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate. The discount rate, the rate of compensation increase and the expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of the measurement date. A discount rate reflects a rate at which pension benefits could be effectively settled. It is established and based primarily on a study based on the Citigroup Pension Liability index, and a review of the current yields reported by Moody’s on AA corporate bonds or the yields of high-quality fixed-income investments available and expected to be available during the life of the plans. The rate of compensation increase is dependent on expected future compensation levels. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and the target asset allocation. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on input from its actuaries, outside investment advisors and information as to assumptions used by plan sponsors.

Changes in any of the assumptions can have an impact on the net periodic pension cost or postretirement benefit cost. Estimated sensitivities to the net periodic pension cost of a 0.25% rate decrease in the three basic assumptions are as follows: the discount rate would increase expense by approximately $7.6 million; the rate of compensation increase would decrease expense by approximately $4.4 million; and the estimated return on assets assumption would increase expense by approximately $5.8 million. A 0.25% rate decrease in the discount rate for postretirement benefits would increase net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $1.0 million and a 1.0% increase in the health-care cost trend rate would increase the cost by approximately $1.8 million.

The preparation of financial statements includes the use of estimates and assumptions that affect a number of amounts included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If actual amounts are ultimately different from previous estimates, the revisions are included in the Company’s results for the period in which the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between the Company’s estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified prospective method of adoption. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued. Under the modified prospective method, financial statement amounts for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an entity to recognize in its balance sheet the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The standard also requires an entity to recognize

 

63


Table of Contents

changes in the funded status within Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost.

SFAS 158 also requires an entity to measure its defined benefit plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. The measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company has adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS 158, which resulted in an after-tax charge to Retained earnings in the amount of $3.7 million ($6.5 million pre-tax) in 2008.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result of adopting FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company recorded additional liabilities to its previously established reserves, and corresponding decrease in Retained earnings of $145.6 million.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the standard expands the disclosures about fair value measurements to include disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2008. Refer to Note 23 in the consolidated financial statements for a full discussion on SFAS 157.

Effective February 12, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP SFAS 157-2). This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Due to the deferral, the Company has delayed its implementation of SFAS 157 provisions on the fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and nonfinancial long-lived assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies the option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the income statement. Additionally, SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not elected the option available under SFAS 159.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141 (R)). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements set forth in SFAS 141 regarding the purchase method of accounting, but expands the guidance in order to properly recognize and measure, at fair value, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business. In addition, the statement introduces new accounting guidance on how to recognize and measure contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition and restructuring costs. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions occurring after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No 51.” It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary represents an ownership interest that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the statement requires expanded income statement presentation and disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the Company and the interests of the non-controlling owners of the subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on its financial statements; however, the Company does not expect the impact to the consolidated financial statements to be material.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133. This statement amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial statements; however, the Company does not expect the impact to the consolidated financial statements to be material.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This pronouncement did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2008, the SEC issued for comment a proposed roadmap for the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, we could be required, in 2014, to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on our consolidated financial statements, and we will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

Item 7A.      QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to fluctuations in non-U.S. currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. To manage certain of those exposures, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts. Derivative instruments utilized by us in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk of counter party non-performance, derivative instrument agreements are made only through major financial institutions with significant experience in such derivative instruments.

Foreign Currency Exposures

We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell their products in various international markets. As a result, we are exposed to movements in exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies throughout the world. We actively manage the currency exposures that are associated with non-U.S. currency purchases and sales and other assets and liabilities at the operating unit level. Exposures that cannot be naturally offset within an operating unit to an insignificant amount are hedged with foreign currency derivatives. We also have non-U.S. currency net asset exposures, which we currently do not hedge with any derivative instrument.

We evaluate our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential gain or loss in fair value based on a percentage increase or decrease in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. Based on the firmly committed currency derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2008, a hypothetical change in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% increase in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar would result in an unrealized gain of approximately $23.9 million, as compared with an unrealized gain of $17.2 million at December 31, 2007. These amounts would be offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying currency transactions.

As a result of the Trane acquisition we are exposed to exchange rate cash flow risks related to interest payments on debt that is denominated in Pound Sterling. We evaluate our exposure to changes in the Pound Sterling using a sensitivity analysis. Based on the cross currency swap in place at December 31, 2008, a hypothetical change in fair value of the swap assuming a 10% increase in exchange rates against the US Dollar would result in an unrealized gain of approximately $9.3 million. These amounts would be offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying debt transaction.

Commodity Price Exposures

We are exposed to volatility in the prices of raw materials used in some of our products and use both fixed price contracts and in limited circumstances, derivative contracts, to manage this exposure. We evaluate our exposure to changes in commodity prices using a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential gain or loss in fair value based on a percentage increase or decrease in commodity prices. Based on the firmly committed commodity derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2008, a hypothetical change in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% decrease in commodity prices would result in a loss of approximately $1.0 million, as compared with an unrealized loss of $2.4 million at December 31, 2007. These amounts would be offset by changes in the fair value of underlying the commodity transactions.

Interest Rate Exposure

Our long-term debt portfolio mainly consists of fixed-rate instruments. However, we are active in the commercial paper markets. These markets, by their terms, have a maturity of less than a year. As such, we are exposed to interest rate risk. In addition, we have borrowings up to $754 million as of December 31, 2008 under our senior unsecured bridge loan facility. The borrowing cost is LIBOR plus a spread. As LIBOR fluctuates, our cost for the borrowing under the facility will also fluctuate.

Item 9A      CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2008, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Management concluded that based on its assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED

INDEX TO EXHIBITS

(Item 15(a))

Description

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)(2), presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertainty in income taxes effective January 1, 2007, and the manner in which it accounts for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in 2006 and 2008.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) is a diversified, global company that provides products, services and solutions to enhance the quality and comfort of air in homes and buildings, transport and protect food and perishables, secure homes and commercial properties, and increase industrial productivity and efficiency. The Company’s business segments consist of Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies, each with strong brands and leading positions within their respective markets. The Company generates revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sale and service of a diverse portfolio of industrial and commercial products that include well-recognized, premium brand names such as Club Car®, Hussmann®, Ingersoll-Rand®, Schlage®, Thermo King® and Trane®

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

Basis of Presentation:   As discussed in Note 3, the Company acquired Trane Inc. (Trane) at the close of business on June 5, 2008 (the Acquisition Date). As a result of the acquisition, the results of the operations of Trane have been included in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows since the Acquisition Date.

Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in prior years have been made to conform to the 2008 classification.

Reorganization:   IR-Limited is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization (the reorganization) that became effective on December 31, 2001. The reorganization was accomplished through a merger of a newly formed merger subsidiary of IR-Limited. IR-Limited and its subsidiaries continue to conduct the businesses previously conducted by IR-New Jersey and its subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

Principles of Consolidation:   The consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Partially owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method. The Company is also required to consolidate variable interest entities in which it bears a majority of the risk to the entities’ potential losses or stands to gain from a majority of the entities’ expected returns. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued operations and held for sale for all periods presented. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates:   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the assessment of the probable future outcome. Some of the more

significant estimates include accounting for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, purchase price allocations of acquired businesses, valuation of assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, product warranties, sales allowances, pension plans, postretirement benefits other than pensions, taxes, environmental costs, product liability, asbestos matters and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period that they are determined.

Currency Translation:   Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expenses accounts have been translated using average exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’s financial statements into the U.S. dollar have been recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are subject to changes in exchange rates with the resulting gains and losses recorded within net earnings.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:   Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less.

Marketable Securities:   The Company has classified its marketable securities as available-for-sale in accordance with the guidance under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Available-for-sale marketable securities are accounted for at market prices, with the unrealized gain or loss, less applicable deferred income taxes, recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If any of the Company’s marketable securities experience other than temporary declines in value as defined by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” a loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Inventories:   Depending on the business, U.S. inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Non-U.S. inventories are primarily stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO method. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately 45% and 20%, respectively, of all inventory utilized the LIFO method.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:   The Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve which represents the best estimate of probable loss inherent in the Company’s account receivables portfolio. This estimate is based upon company policy, derived from knowledge of its end markets, customer base and products. The Company reserved $51.2 million and $12.2 million for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment:   Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:

 

Buildings

   10 to 50 years

Machinery and equipment

   3 to 15 years

Software

   2 to 7 years

 

F-8


Table of Contents

Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged against earnings as incurred. Major replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized.

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:   The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount. The Company tests for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.

Recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level and determined using a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill. To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, impairment exists and must be recognized. Recoverability of other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

Intangible assets such as patents, customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The range of useful lives is as follows:

 

Customer relationships

   20 years  

Trademarks

   25 years  

Completed technology/patents

   10 years  

Other

   10 years   *
* Excludes the effect of intangibles acquired as a part of the acquisition of Trane and fully expensed in 2008

Recoverability of intangible assets with finite useful lives is assessed in the same manner as property, plant and equipment as described above.

Income Taxes:   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and non-U.S. tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not. The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.

Product Warranties:   Warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.

Treasury Stock:   The Company, through one of its consolidated subsidiaries, repurchases IR-Limited’s Class A common shares from time to time in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions as authorized by the Board of Directors. These repurchases are based upon current market conditions and the discretion of management. Amounts are recorded at cost and included within the Shareholders’ equity section. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, Class A common shares owned by the Company amounted to 52.0 million and 97.4 million, respectively. The reduction from 2007 was a result of the issuance of 45.4 million IR-Limited Class A common shares to fund the equity portion of the consideration paid for the Trane acquisition.

Revenue Recognition:   Revenue is recognized and earned when all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists; (b) price is fixed or determinable; (c) collectability is reasonably assured; and (d) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered. Delivery generally occurs when the title and the risks and rewards of ownership have substantially transferred to the customer. Revenue from maintenance contracts or extended warranties is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company enters into agreements that contain multiple elements, such as equipment, installation and service revenue. For multiple-element arrangements, the Company recognizes revenue for delivered elements when the delivered item has stand-alone value to the customer, fair values of undelivered elements are known, customer acceptance has occurred, and only customary refund or return rights exist related to the delivered elements. Revenues from certain of our equipment and the related installation sold under construction-type contracts are recorded using the percentage-of-completion method in accordance with Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts.” Revenues associated with contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion method of accounting amounted to approximately five percent of the Company’s 2008 net revenues.

Environmental Costs:   The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment. Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated, generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action. The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing technology, does not reflect any offset for possible recoveries from insurance companies, and is not discounted.

Asbestos Matters:   Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. The Company records a liability for its actual and anticipated future claims as well as an asset for anticipated insurance settlements. Although the Company was neither a manufacturer nor producer of asbestos, some of its formerly manufactured components from third party suppliers utilized asbestos related components. As a result, amounts related to asbestos are recorded within Discontinued operations, net of tax, except for amounts related to Trane asbestos liabilities, which are recorded in continuing operations. Refer to Note 22 for further details of asbestos related matters.

Research and Development Costs:   The Company conducts research and development activities for the purpose of developing and improving new products and services. These expenditures, including qualifying engineering costs, are expensed when incurred and included in Cost of goods sold. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, these expenditures amounted to $131.6 million, $128.6 million and $126.7 million, respectively. The Company also incurs engineering costs that are not considered research and development expenditures.

Software Costs:   The Company follows the guidance outlined in Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” for all software developed or obtained for internal use, which requires companies to capitalize certain internal-use software costs once specific criteria are met and subsequently amortize these costs over the software’s useful life, which ranges from 2 to 7 years.

Employee Benefit Plans:   The Company provides a range of benefits to eligible employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement and post-employment benefits. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, employee mortality and turnover rates, and health-care cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally accumulated and amortized into earnings over future periods. Effective December 31, 2006, these amounts are generally recognized into Shareholders’ equity on an annual basis, due to the adoption of SFAS 158. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate. In 2008, the Company changed the measurement date for all defined benefit plans from November 30 to December 31, as required by the measurement date provision of SFAS 158.

Loss Contingencies:   Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business, including litigation and administrative proceedings, environmental matters, product liability, product warranty, worker’s compensation and other claims. The Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve, and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year.

Derivative Instruments:   The Company periodically enters into cash flow and other hedge transactions to specifically hedge exposure to various risks related to interest rates, currency rates and commodity pricing. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. For cash flow designated hedges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the derivative contract are recorded in Other comprehensive income, net of taxes, and are recognized in the income statement at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other hedge transactions, the changes in the fair value of the derivative contract are recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (SFAS 123(R)) using the modified prospective method of adoption. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based

Table of Contents

payment issued. Under the modified prospective method, financial statement amounts for prior periods have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of recognizing compensation cost relating to stock options.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires an entity to recognize in its balance sheet the funded status of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The standard also requires an entity to recognize changes in the funded status within Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost.

SFAS 158 also requires an entity to measure its defined benefit plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position. The measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The Company has adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS 158, which resulted in an after-tax charge to Retained earnings in the amount of $3.7 million ($6.5 million pre-tax) in 2008. Plans acquired during 2008 were not impacted by this change.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB 108 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result of adopting FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007, the Company recorded additional liabilities to its previously established reserves, and corresponding decrease in Retained earnings of $145.6 million.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information to develop those assumptions. Additionally, the standard expands the disclosures about fair value measurements to include disclosing the fair value measurements of assets or liabilities within each level of the fair value hierarchy. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2008. Refer to Note 23 in the consolidated financial statements for a full discussion on SFAS 157.

Effective February 12, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP SFAS 157-2). This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Due to the deferral, the Company has delayed its implementation of SFAS 157 provisions on the fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and nonfinancial long-lived assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits companies the option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the income statement. Additionally, SFAS 159 establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not elected the option available under SFAS 159.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” (SFAS 141 (R)). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes SFAS 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements set forth in SFAS 141 regarding the purchase method of accounting, but expands the guidance in order to properly recognize and measure, at fair value, the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business. In addition, the statement introduces new accounting guidance on how to recognize and measure contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition and restructuring costs. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions occurring after January 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No 51.” It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary represents an ownership interest that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, the statement requires expanded income statement presentation and disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the Company and the interests of the non-controlling owners of the subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on its financial statements; however, the Company does not expect the impact to the consolidated financial statements to be material.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS No. 133. This statement amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” It requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company starting on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial statements; however, the Company does not expect the impact to the consolidated financial statements to be material.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2008, the SEC issued for comment a proposed roadmap for the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International

 

F-13


Table of Contents

Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Under the proposed roadmap, we could be required, in 2014, to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. We are currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on our consolidated financial statements, and we will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF TRANE INC.

At the close of business on June 5, 2008, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common shares of Trane. Trane, formerly American Standard Companies Inc., provides systems and services that enhance the quality and comfort of the air in homes and buildings around the world. Trane’s systems and services have leading positions in premium commercial, residential, institutional and industrial markets, a reputation for reliability, high quality and product innovation and a powerful distribution network. Trane’s 2007 annual revenues were $7.5 billion.

The Company paid a combination of (i) 0.23 of an IR-Limited Class A common share and (ii) $36.50 in cash, without interest, for each outstanding share of Trane common stock. The total cost of the acquisition was approximately $9.6 billion, including change in control payments and direct costs of the transaction. The Company financed the cash portion of the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, commercial paper and a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

The components of the purchase price were as follows:

The Company has allocated $3,418.0 million to tradenames, primarily related to the Trane brand. Management considered many factors in the determination that it will account for the asset as an indefinite lived intangible asset, including the current market leadership position of the brand as well as recognition worldwide in the industry. Therefore, in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, tradenames will not be amortized, but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

In addition, the Company assigned $26.0 million to in-process research and development assets that were expensed at the date of acquisition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 4, “Applicability of FASB Statement No. 2 to Business Combinations Accounted for by the Purchase Method.” The expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to specific assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $5,529.9 million. The premium in the purchase price paid by the Company for the acquisition of Trane reflects the establishment of an $11 billion business offering high value equipment, systems and services necessary for delivering solutions across the temperature spectrum for indoor, stationary and transport applications worldwide. The Company anticipates realizing significant operational and cost synergies. Anticipated synergies include purchase material savings through supplier rationalization and procurement leverage, improvement in manufacturing costs and lower general and administrative costs. Longer term, the Company expects to benefit from synergies related to service revenue expansion, leverage of distribution channels and cross selling through certain vertical markets.

In addition, Trane will be able to leverage the Company’s global footprint to enhance their historically U.S.-based revenue generation. Lastly, the combined business will improve the Company’s highly regarded Hussmann and Thermo King brands with Trane’s position as a leader in the commercial and residential climate control industry. These combined factors primarily contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets acquired.

NOTE 4 – ASSET IMPAIRMENT

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than its carrying amount of the asset. The Company tests for impairment during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year using October 1 st carrying values. Due to the continued deterioration in the worldwide equity and credit markets and a tightening of industrial and retail end markets, the Company’s market capitalization declined well below its book value during the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, the Company projects a decline in its 2009 financial performance. As a result, the Company updated its impairment testing through December 31, 2008, taking into consideration recent market declines.

Goodwill Impairment

The test for goodwill impairment is a two step process. The first step compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value (Step 1). To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed, wherein the reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill is compared to the implied fair value of goodwill (Step 2). To the extent that the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, impairment exists and must be recognized.

As quoted market prices are not available for the Company’s reporting units, the fair value of the reporting units is determined using both a discounted cash flow model (income approach) and a market adjusted multiple of earnings and revenues (market approach), with each method being equally weighted in the calculation. Both methods use various assumptions that are specific to each individual reporting unit in order to determine the fair value. In addition, the Company compared the estimated aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its overall market capitalization. The Company completed Step 1 of the impairment test and determined that the reporting units within the Air Conditioning System and Services sector and the European reporting unit of the Security Technologies sector did not pass Step 1.

In Step 2, the Company is required to use the fair value calculated in Step 1 and apply the fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit based on a hypothetical purchase price allocation. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the allocation process and compared to the book value of goodwill. As a result, the Company realized an impairment charge to goodwill of $2,840.0 million. For further details, refer to the table below.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets (i.e. Tradenames) is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the intangible assets to the fair value of the respective intangible assets. Any excess of the carrying value over the calculated fair value of the intangible asset is recognized as an impairment loss.

The fair value of each of the Company’s Tradenames was determined based on a relief from royalty income methodology, which present values the after-tax cost savings (i.e. royalty relief) at an

Table of Contents

appropriate discount rate in order to compute the value of the Tradenames. Based on the calculated fair value, management determined that certain Tradenames were impaired in the aggregate amount of $860.0 million. For further details of the impairment charge refer to the table below.

Marketable Securities

The Company determined that its investment in certain marketable securities was other than temporarily impaired. This analysis was based on the current trading value of the publicly listed marketable security in addition to other qualitative factors of the operating business environment in which the security is held.

During 2007, the Company initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts across each of its sectors. These actions included both workforce reductions as well as the consolidation of manufacturing facilities.

During the first three quarters of 2008, the Company incurred costs of approximately $20 million associated with various restructuring activities as a part of an ongoing effort to increase efficiencies across multiple lines of business. In October 2008, the Company announced an enterprise-wide restructuring program. This program included streamlining the footprint of manufacturing facilities and reducing the general and administrative cost base across all sectors of the company. Projected costs will approximate $110 million, of which $71 million was incurred during the fourth quarter. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $64.5 million accrued for workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities.

Restructuring actions taken in the Air Conditioning Systems and Services sector include the closing of three parts locations in the U.S., the closing of a manufacturing facility in Asia and a general workforce reduction due to a revised organizational structure within the commercial sector. As of December 31, 2008, the Air Conditioning Systems and Services sector had incurred approximately $15 million related to the restructuring program announced in October 2008.

In connection with the acquisition of Trane, at the Acquisition Date, the Company began formulating a plan to exit or restructure certain activities. The Company recorded purchase accounting liabilities of $14.8 million primarily related to employee severance and related costs in connection with the preliminary plan as well as approving the continuation of all existing restructuring and exit plans.

Restructuring actions taken in the Climate Control Technologies sector include the closing of two manufacturing facilities in order to consolidate manufacturing operations in the European and Americas regions, as well as a general workforce reduction in Europe. As of December 31, 2008, the Climate Control Technologies sector had incurred approximately $38 million related to the restructuring program announced in October 2008.

Accumulated amortization

     (378.5 )          (153.2 )

Total

   $     5,214.1      $ 724.6  

At December 31, 2008, the Company had $5.2 billion of intangible assets. Per SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142, but instead, are tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

The increase from December 31, 2007 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008 in which the Company recognized approximately $5,576.0 million of intangible assets including $3,418.0 million of indefinite-lived trademarks and $1,871.0 million of customer relationships. See Note 3 for a further discussion on the acquisition of Trane.

As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $2,722.4 million and $169.3 million, respectively, of indefinite lived intangible assets. In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $860.0 million related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. See Note 4 for a further discussion of impairment related matters.

Intangible asset amortization expense for 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $226.3 million, $25.2 million and $24.8 million, respectively. The increase in 2008 is attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008, which includes $125.0 million of non-recurring amortization expense related to the fair value allocation of purchase price to backlog and in-process research and development costs. The non-recurring amortization expense is included in Accumulated amortization and the associated gross asset is included in Other in the above table. See Note 3 for a further discussion on the acquisition of Trane.

Estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets is approximately $160 million for each of the next five fiscal years.

NOTE 11 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION AGREEMENTS

In association with the acquisition of Trane, the consolidated financial statements include Trane’s accounts receivable securitization agreement (the Facility) in the U.S. As part of this Facility, Trane formed a special-purpose entity (SPE) that is included in the consolidated financial statements for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by Trane. Trane irrevocably and without recourse, transfers all eligible accounts receivable to the SPE, which in turn, sells them, or undivided ownership interests in them, to conduits administered by a participating bank. After the sale of the accounts receivable, Trane has no continuing involvement other than in the collection process. In addition, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay the claims of Trane or any of its subsidiaries.

 

F-22


Table of Contents

The receivables sold are removed from the balance sheet since they meet the applicable criteria of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.” Trane’s retained interest is recorded at fair value in the balance sheet. To the extent that the cash received and value of the retained interest is less than the net book value of the receivable sold, losses are recognized at the time of sale. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the losses amounted to $2.0 million. The receivables represented by the retained interest are exposed to the risk of loss for any uncollectible amounts in the pool of receivables sold under this arrangement.

The following is a summary of receivables sold to the financing facilities:

In connection with the acquisition of Trane, the Company entered into a $3.9 billion senior unsecured bridge loan facility, with a 364-day term. The Company drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand and the issuance of $1.5 billion of commercial paper, were used to fund the cash component of the consideration paid for the acquisition as well as to pay related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition.

In August 2008, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an indeterminate amount of securities for future issuance and issued $1.6 billion of long-term debt pursuant to the shelf registration statement. This issuance consisted of $250 million Senior Floating Rate Notes due in 2010, $600 million 6.000% Senior Notes due in 2013 and $750 million 6.875% Senior Notes due in 2018. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited, which directly owns 100% of the subsidiary issuer, IR Global Holding Company Limited. The net proceeds from the offering were used to partially reduce the amount outstanding under the senior unsecured bridge loan facility.

During the third quarter, the Company repaid $2.0 billion of the outstanding balance of the bridge loan facility. The Company used a combination of cash flows from operations and cash on hand, in addition to the $1.6 billion in proceeds received from the issuance of long-term debt. In October 2008, the Company reduced the bridge loan facility size to $950 million and subsequently repaid an additional $196 million of the outstanding balance during the fourth quarter of 2008. At December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of the bridge loan facility was $754 million.

At December 31, 2008, the Company’s committed revolving credit facilities totaled $3.0 billion, of which $750 million expires in June 2009, $1.25 billion expires in August 2010 and $1.0 billion expires in June 2011. These lines are unused and provide support for the Company’s commercial paper program as well as for other general corporate purposes. In addition, other available lines of credit were $811.7 million, of which $651.3 million were unused at December 31, 2008. These lines provide support for bank guarantees, letters of credit and other general corporate purposes.

Debentures with Put Feature

At December 31, 2007, The Company had outstanding $547.9 million of fixed rate debentures which only requires early repayment at the option of the holder. These debentures contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, the Company is obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and

unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. If these options are not exercised, the final maturity dates would range between 2027 and 2028. In the fourth quarter of 2008, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on approximately $202 million of the debentures, which was repaid in November 2008.

NOTE 13 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage risks associated with interest rate, currency rate, commodity price and share-based compensation exposures. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as either a hedge of a forecasted transaction (a cash flow hedge) or a hedge of recognized asset or liability (a cash flow or undesignated hedge). The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.

The Company also assesses both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in the income statement in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument would be recorded in the income statement.

The fair market value of derivative instruments are determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.

Currency and Commodity Hedging Instruments

The estimated fair value of currency hedges outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, was a projected gain of $15.1 million and a projected loss of $5.2 million, respectively. The notional amounts of the currency hedges were $920.4 million and $355.5 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $7.6 million and $2.4 million, net of tax, respectively, was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the fair value of currency hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months is $7.6 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. At December 31, 2008, the maximum term of the Company’s currency hedges was 12 months.

The estimated fair value of commodity hedges outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was a projected loss of $10.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The notional amount of the commodity hedges was $21.3 million and $22.2 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2008, the Company discontinued the use of hedge accounting for the commodity hedges. The Company recognized into the income statement all deferred gains and losses related to the commodity hedges at the time of discontinuance.

Other Hedging Instruments

As a result of the acquisition of Trane, the Company assumed a cross currency swap that fixes in U.S. dollars the currency cash flows on the £60.0 million 8.25% senior notes due June 1, 2009. The cross currency swap meets the criteria to be accounted for as a foreign currency cash flow hedge. At December 31, 2008, the cross currency swap had a fair value of $35.8 million.

Table of Contents

During 2008, the Company entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of $1.4 billion of Senior Notes due in 2013 and 2018. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized into interest expense over the life of the notes. At December 31, 2008, $14.4 million of deferred losses was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the interest rate locks, of which $1.8 million is expected to be reclassified into interest expense over the next twelve months.

In August 2006, the Company entered into two total return swaps (the Swaps) which were derivative instruments used to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in its share-based compensation expense. The aggregate notional amount of the Swaps was approximately $52.6 million. On June 11, 2007, the Company terminated a portion of the Swaps for net cash proceeds of $3.8 million. The Company settled the remaining portion of the Swaps on August 6, 2007, for net cash proceeds of $13.8 million. The gains and losses associated with the Swaps were recorded within Selling and administrative expenses.

In March 2005, the Company entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of $300 million of Senior Notes due 2015. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be recognized into interest expense over the life of the notes. At December 31, 2008, $7.6 million of deferred losses was included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the interest rate locks, of which $1.0 million is expected to be reclassified into interest expense over the next twelve months.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The counterparties to the Company’s forward contracts consist of a number of highly rated major international financial institutions. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, credit ratings and concentration of risk of these financial institutions are monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 14 – POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that cover certain eligible employees, including certain Trane employees since the acquisition date. These plans provide for health-care benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits. Postretirement health plans generally are contributory and contributions are adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory. The Company funds the postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 158, which required the Company to record the funded status of its postretirement plans on its balance sheet effective December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 for the Company’s postretirement plans other than pensions resulted in an increase of total liabilities of $300.4 million and a decrease of total shareholders’ equity of $135.7 million (net of tax of $164.7 million).

In 2008, the Company adopted the measurement date provision of SFAS 158 which required the measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the year-end financial statements.

 

F-26


Table of Contents

The Company recorded a one-time after-tax charge for postretirement benefits of $2.5 million to Retained earnings ($4.7 million pre-tax) as a result of changing the measurement date from November 30 th to December 31 st .

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008, the Company assumed unfunded obligations for retirement benefits other than pensions in the amount of $268.9 million. In connection with the sale of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit during 2007, the Company settled its obligation for postretirement benefits for all current and former employees related to these divestitures. In addition, the Company’s U.S. postretirement plan was remeasured as of the sale dates.

NOTE 15 – PENSION PLANS

The Company has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all non-Trane U.S. employees and maintains a pension plan for non-collectively bargained U.S. employees of Trane, whereby eligible employees may elect to participate and receive a credit equal to 3% of eligible pay. In addition, the Company maintains a U.S. collectively bargained pension plan for Trane employees. Certain non-U.S. employees in other countries, including Trane employees, are covered by pension plans.

The Company’s pension plans for U.S. non-collectively bargained employees provided benefits on a final average pay formula. The Company’s U.S. collectively bargained pension plans, including those covering employees of Trane, principally provide benefits based on a flat benefit formula. Non-U.S. plans provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company maintains additional other supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees.

In 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 158, which required the Company to record the funded status of its pension plans on its balance sheet effective December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 for the Company’s pensions resulted in a decrease of total assets of $476.0 million, total liabilities of $35.4 million and total shareholders’ equity of $337.1 million (net of tax of $103.5 million).

In 2008, the Company adopted the measurement date provision of SFAS 158 which required the measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the year-end financial statements. The Company recorded a one-time after-tax pension charge of $1.2 million to Retained earnings ($1.8 million pre-tax) as a result of changing the measurement date from November 30 th to December 31 st .

As a result of the acquisition of Trane in the second quarter of 2008, the Company assumed net obligations of $67.7 million, which consisted of long-term prepaid pension costs of $1.4 million and current and noncurrent pension benefit liabilities of $69.1 million. In connection with the sale of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit during 2007, the Company settled its obligation for pension benefits for all current and former employees related to these divestitures. In addition, certain of the Company’s U.S. plans and the U.K. plan were remeasured as of the sale dates.

Net periodic pension cost for 2008 included $7.3 million related to Trane plans. The curtailment and settlement losses in 2008 are associated with lump sum distributions under supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees. The curtailment and settlement gains and losses in 2007 are associated with the divestiture of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit. Pension expense for 2009 is projected to be approximately $160 million, utilizing the assumptions for calculating the pension benefit obligations at the end of 2008. The amounts expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ended 2009 for the net transition obligation, prior service cost and plan net actuarial losses are $0.3 million, $8.4 million and $57.2 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy and the types of assets held. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. The Company reviews each plan and its historical returns and asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term rate of return on plan assets to be used.

The Company’s investment objectives in managing its defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due; to provide a total return that, over the long term, minimizes required company contributions, at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements. Key investment management decisions reviewed regularly are asset allocations, investment manager performance, investment advisors and trustees or custodians. Asset/liability modeling (ALM) studies are used as the basis for global asset allocation decisions and are updated as required.

Based on ALM studies, the Company continues to adjust its target strategic global asset allocations for its plans to be approximately 40% in equity securities and 60% in debt securities, real estate and cash. Asset allocations are reviewed at least quarterly and appropriate adjustments are made. Trane pension assets have been included in our reviews since acquisition and will be included in our target strategic asset allocation. Trane’s historic target strategic allocation had a higher percentage invested in equity securities.

The Company’s pension plans weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2008 and 2007, by asset category are as follows:

The Company made contributions to its pension plans of $64.1 million in 2008, $25.5 million in 2007, and $31.6 million in 2006. The Company currently projects that it will be required to contribute approximately $105 million to its plans worldwide in 2009. The Company’s policy allows it to fund an amount, which could be in excess of or less than the pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. The Company anticipates funding the plans in 2009 in accordance with contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of each jurisdiction.

Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by savings and other defined contribution plans. Employer contributions are determined based on criteria specific to the individual plans and amounted to approximately $78.8 million (including $43.5 million for Trane plans), $47.8 million and $48.6 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company’s contributions relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans and other non-U.S. benefit plans were $16.3 million (including $3.8 million for Trane plans), $11.4 million and $8.8 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 16 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

At December 31, 2008, a reconciliation of Class A Common shares is as follows:

 

In millions    Total

December 31, 2007

   272.6

Shares issued under incentive plans

   0.8

Merger consideration (See Note 3)

   45.4

December 31, 2008

           318.8

The increase from 2007 was a result of the issuance of 45.4 million IR-Limited Class A common shares to fund the equity portion of the consideration paid for the Trane acquisition.

During 2007, the Company repurchased 39.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,999.9 million under the existing $4 billion share repurchase program. The program was originally authorized by the Board of Directors in December 2006 and expanded in May 2007. During 2006, the Company repurchased 27.7 million Class A common shares at a cost of $1,096.3 million, which completed the Company’s share repurchases under the $2 billion program that was authorized by the Board of Directors in August 2004 and expanded in August 2005.

Effective December 31, 2001, IR-Limited became the successor to IR-New Jersey, following the reorganization. The reorganization was accomplished through a merger of a newly formed merger subsidiary into IR-New Jersey. Upon consummation of the merger, the shares of IR-New Jersey common stock automatically became IR-Limited Class A common shares. As part of the reorganization, IR-New Jersey and certain of its subsidiaries, immediately prior to the merger, transferred shares of certain IR-New Jersey subsidiaries and issued certain debt in exchange for which IR-Limited issued 270,500,006 Class B common shares. The Class B common shares are non-voting and pay comparable dividends to the Class A common shares. The authorized share capital of IR-Limited is $1,175,010,000, consisting of (1) 1,175,000,000 common shares, par value $1.00 per share, which common shares consist of (a) 600,000,000 Class A common shares and (b) 575,000,000 Class B common shares, and (2) 10,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.001 per share. Class A common shares (and associated preference share purchase rights) were issued to holders of IR-New Jersey common stock in the merger. No preference shares were outstanding at December 31, 2008 or 2007. As the Class B common shares are owned by consolidated subsidiaries, the cost basis of the shares are eliminated in consolidation.

awards using a fair value method and recognize compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its consolidated financial statements.

On June 6, 2007, the shareholders of the Company approved the Incentive Stock Plan of 2007, which authorizes the Company to issue stock options and other share-based incentives. The total number of shares authorized by the shareholders is 14.0 million, of which 8.8 million remains available as of December 31, 2008 for future incentive awards. The plan replaces the Incentive Stock Plan of 1998, which terminated in May 2007.

Stock Options

The average fair value of the stock options granted for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was estimated to be $11.56 per share and $11.06 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used:

 

       2008      2007  

Dividend yield

   1.58 %    1.75 %

Volatility

   31.48 %    26.10 %

Risk-free rate of return

   2.95 %    4.71 %

Expected life

   5.36 years      4.70 years  

The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value of the options at the grant date. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded options on the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company’s valuation model. The Company’s expected life of the stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.

At December 31, 2008, there was $38.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost from stock option arrangements granted under the plan, which is related to unvested shares of non-retirement eligible employees. This compensation will be recognized over the required service period, which is generally the three-year vesting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $9.2 million and $103.4 million, respectively.

Generally, stock options vest ratably over a three-year period from their date of grant and expire at the end of ten years.

Performance Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides annual awards for the achievement of pre-established long-term strategic initiatives and annual financial performance of the Company. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company’s Class A common shares. For performance year 2006 the award was paid in cash.

On April 17, 2007, and effective beginning in performance year 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a revision to the PSP program such that all PSP awards will be paid in Class A common shares rather than in cash. In addition, all shares will vest one year after the date of grant except for retirement-eligible employees whose shares vest immediately. As a result of these changes, a larger portion of the Company’s executive compensation program will be directly linked to the performance of the Company’s Class A common shares, thus further aligning the interests of executives with those of the Company’s shareholders.

Deferred Compensation

For fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and before, the Company allowed key employees and non-employee directors to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including Class A common share equivalents. Effective August 1, 2007, the deferred compensation plans were amended to provide that any amounts invested in the Class A common share equivalents will be settled in Class A common shares at the time of distribution. Previously, these amounts were settled in cash.

Other Plans

The Company maintains a shareholder-approved Management Incentive Unit Award Plan. Under the plan, participating key employees were awarded incentive units. When dividends are paid on Class A common shares, phantom dividends are awarded to unit holders, one-half of which is paid in cash, the remaining half of which is credited to the participants’ account in the form of Class A common share equivalents. The value of the actual incentive units is never paid to participants, and only the fair value of accumulated common share equivalents is paid in cash upon the participants’ retirement. The number of common share equivalents credited to participants’ accounts at December 31, 2008 is 152,952.

The Company has issued stock grants as an incentive plan for certain key employees, with varying vesting periods. At December 31, 2008, there were 276,701 stock grants outstanding, all of which were vested. Effective August 2, 2006, all stock grants are settled with the Company’s Class A common shares rather than cash.

Table of Contents

recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on the recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. As a result of adopting FIN 48, the company recorded additional liabilities to its previously established reserves, and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings of $145.6 million.

The Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $589.6 million and $379.8 million as of December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate are $490.6 million as of December 31, 2008. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

In connection with Trane’s spin-off of WABCO, Trane and WABCO entered into a tax sharing agreement for the allocation of pre spin-off taxes. Of the total unrecognized tax benefit of $588.9 million at December 31, 2008, WABCO has agreed to indemnify Trane for $43.3 million, which is reflected in an other long term receivable account.

The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its Provision for income taxes. The Company had reserves associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $91.3 million and $93.1 million at December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recognized $12.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, in interest and penalties net of tax related to these uncertain tax positions.

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change within 12 months as a result of settlements of ongoing tax examinations resulting in a decrease of approximately $68.3 million in the unrecognized tax benefits.

The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, U.S. and non-U.S. tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States. In general, the examination of the Company’s material tax returns is completed for the years prior to 2000, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and litigation.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed the examination of the Company’s federal income tax returns through the 2000 tax year and has issued a notice proposing adjustments. The principal proposed adjustment relates to the disallowance of certain capital losses. The Company disputes the IRS position and protests have been filed with the IRS Appeals Division. In order to reduce the potential interest expense associated with this matter, the Company made a payment of $217 million in the third quarter of 2007, which reduced the Company’s total liability for uncertain tax positions by $141 million. Similarly, during the third quarter of 2008, the Company made an additional payment of $55.1 million related to a potential penalty assessment plus accrued interest on this matter. The Company continues negotiating with the IRS on the ultimate settlement of this matter. The issues raised by the IRS associated with this payment are not related to the Company’s reorganization in Bermuda, or the Company’s intercompany debt structure.

On July 20, 2007, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company’s tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda. The most significant adjustments proposed by the IRS involve treating the entire intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company’s reincorporation in Bermuda as equity. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS has disallowed the deduction of interest paid on the debt and imposed dividend withholding taxes on the payments denominated as interest. These adjustments proposed by the IRS, if upheld in their entirety, would result in additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $190 million plus interest, and would require the Company to record additional charges associated with this matter. At this time, the IRS has not yet begun their examination of the Company’s tax filings for years subsequent to 2002. However, if these adjustments or a portion of these adjustments proposed by the IRS are ultimately sustained, it is likely to also affect subsequent tax years.

The Company strongly disagrees with the view of the IRS and filed a protest with the IRS in the third quarter of 2007. The Company has and intends to continue to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. The Company, in consultation with its outside advisors, carefully considered many factors in determining the terms of the intercompany debt, including the obligor’s ability to service the debt and the availability of equivalent financing from unrelated parties, two factors prominently cited by the IRS in denying debt treatment. The Company believes that its characterization of that obligation as debt for tax purposes was supported by the relevant facts and legal authorities at the time of its creation. The subsequent financial results of the relevant companies, including the actual cash flow generated by operations and the production of significant additional cash flow from dispositions, have confirmed the ability to service this debt. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the strength of its position, the Company believes that it is adequately reserved for this matter. As the Company moves forward to resolve this matter with the IRS, it is reasonably possible that the reserves established may be adjusted within the next 12 months. However, the Company does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations or financial position.

The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FIN 48. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the provision for income taxes.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $449.0 million ($277 million after-tax) related to the Company’s liability for all pending and estimated future asbestos claims through 2053. Refer to Note 22 for further details on asbestos-related matters.

NOTE 21 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings (income available to common shareholders) by the weighted-average number of Class A common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive common shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of Class A common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

 

In millions      2008      2007      2006

     27.7      0.2      3.2

As the Company experienced a net loss in 2008, the Company has not included the impact of shares issuable under incentive stock plans in the calculation of diluted EPS as the result would have an antidilutive effect on EPS.

NOTE 22 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Environmental Matters

The Company continues to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal.

In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based generally on the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.

During 2008, we spent $6.9 million on capital projects for pollution abatement and control, and an additional $15.5 million for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $100.9 million. The Company believes that these expenditures and accrual levels will continue and may increase over time. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.

Asbestos Matters

Certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims has been filed against either Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.

Prior to the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a liability (which it periodically updated) for its actual and anticipated future asbestos settlement costs projected seven years into the future. The Company did not record a liability for future asbestos settlement costs beyond the seven-year period covered by its reserve because such costs previously were not reasonably estimable for the reasons detailed below.

Table of Contents

In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company again reviewed its history and experience with asbestos-related litigation and determined that it had now become possible to make a reasonable estimate of its total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims. This determination was based upon the Company’s analysis of developments in asbestos litigation, including the substantial and continuing decline in the filing of non-malignancy claims against the Company, the establishment in many jurisdictions of inactive or deferral dockets for such claims, the decreased value of non-malignancy claims because of changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims, increasing focus of the asbestos litigation upon malignancy claims, primarily those involving mesothelioma, a cancer with a known historical and predictable future annual incidence rate, and the Company’s substantial accumulated experience with respect to the resolution of malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, filed against it.

Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company retained Dr. Thomas Vasquez of Analysis, Research & Planning Corporation (collectively, “ARPC”) to assist it in calculating an estimate of the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims. ARPC is a respected expert in performing complex calculations such as this. ARPC has been involved in many asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities, and its valuation methodologies have been accepted by numerous courts.

The methodology used by ARPC to project the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims relied upon and included the following factors, among others:

 

   

ARPC’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos;

 

   

epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer;

 

   

the Company’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims against it and the historical ratio between the numbers of non-malignancy and lung cancer claims filed against the Company;

 

   

ARPC’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Company’s most recent three-year claims history;

 

   

an analysis of the Company’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an analysis of the Company’s most recent three-year history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed;

 

   

an adjustment for inflation in the future average settlement value of claims, at a 2.5% annual inflation rate, adjusted downward to 1.5% to take account of the declining value of claims resulting from the aging of the claimant population;

 

   

an analysis of the period over which the Company has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future.

Based on these factors, ARPC calculated a total estimated liability of $755 million for the Company to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future claims through 2053, which is ARPC’s reasonable best estimate of the time it will take to resolve asbestos-related claims. This amount is on a pre-tax basis,

not discounted for the time-value of money, and excludes the Company’s defense fees (which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred). After considering ARPC’s analysis and the factors listed above, in the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company increased its recorded liability for asbestos claims by $538 million, from $217 million to $755 million.

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an $89 million increase in its assets for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries to $250 million. This represents amounts due to the Company for previously paid and settled claims and the probable reimbursements relating to its estimated liability for pending and future claims. In calculating this amount, the Company used the estimated asbestos liability for pending and projected future claims calculated by ARPC. It also considered the amount of insurance available, gaps in coverage, allocation methodologies, solvency ratings and creditworthiness of the insurers, the amounts already recovered from and the potential for settlements with insurers, and the terms of existing settlement agreements with insurers.

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to earnings of discontinued operations of $449 million ($277 million after-tax), which is the difference between the amount by which the Company increased its total estimated liability for pending and projected future asbestos-related claims and the amount that the Company expects to recover from insurers with respect to that increased liability.

In connection with our acquisition of Trane, the Company requested ARPC to assist in calculating Trane’s asbestos-related valuations of current and future liabilities. As required by SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” the Company is required to record the assumed asbestos obligations and associated insurance-related assets at their fair value at the Acquisition Date. The Company preliminarily estimates that the assumed asbestos obligation and associated insurance-related assets at the Acquisition Date to be $494 million and $249 million, respectively. These amounts were estimated based on certain assumptions and factors consistent with those described above.

Trane continues to be in litigation against certain carriers whose policies it believes provide coverage for asbestos claims. The insurance carriers named in this suit have challenged Trane’s right to recovery. Trane filed the action in April 1999 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, against various primary and lower layer excess insurance carriers, seeking coverage for environmental claims (the “NJ Litigation”). The NJ Litigation was later expanded to also seek coverage for asbestos-related liabilities from twenty-one primary and lower layer excess carriers and underwriting syndicates. The environmental claims against most of the insurers in the NJ Litigation have been settled. On September 19, 2005, the court granted Trane’s motion to add claims for insurance coverage for asbestos-related liabilities against 16 additional insurers and 117 new insurance policies to the NJ Litigation. The court also required the parties to submit all contested matters to mediation. Trane engaged in its first mediation session with the NJ Litigation defendants on January 18, 2006 and has engaged in active discussions since that time.

Trane has now settled with a substantial number of its insurers, collectively accounting for approximately 80% of its recorded asbestos-related liability insurance receivable at January 31, 2009. More specifically, effective August 26, 2008, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement (“August 26 Agreement”) with the following five insurance companies or groups: 1) Hartford; 2) Travelers; 3) Allstate (solely in its capacity as successor-in-interest to Northbrook Excess & Surplus Insurance Company); 4) Dairyland Insurance Company; and 5) AIG. The August 26 Agreement provides for the reimbursement by the insurer signatories of a portion of Trane’s costs for asbestos bodily injury claims under specified terms and conditions and in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications from Trane. In addition, on September 12, 2008, Trane entered into a settlement

 

F-47


Table of Contents

agreement with Mt. McKinley Insurance Company and Everest Reinsurance Company, both members of the Everest Re group, resolving all claims in the NJ Litigation involving policies issued by those companies (“Everest Re Agreement”). The Everest Re Agreement contains a number of elements, including policy buy-outs and partial buy-outs in exchange for a cash payment along with coverage-in-place features similar to those contained in the August 26 Agreement, in exchange for certain releases and indemnifications by Trane. More recently, on January 26, 2009, Trane entered into a coverage-in-place agreement with Columbia Casualty Company, Continental Casualty Company, and Continental Insurance Company in its own capacity and as successor-in-interest to Harbor Insurance Company and London Guarantee & Accident Company of New York (“CNA Agreement”). The CNA Agreement provides for the reimbursement by the insurer signatories of a portion of Trane’s costs for indemnification from Trane. Trane remains in settlement negotiations with the insurer defendants in the NJ Litigation not encompassed within the August 26 Agreement, Everest Re Agreement, and the CNA Agreement. Once concluded, we believe NJ Litigation will resolve coverage issues with respect to approximately 95% of Trane’s recorded insurance receivable in connection with asbestos-related liabilities.

The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Company’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the Company’s or ARPC’s calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions are identified above and include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolution of each such new claim, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company’s insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Company’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.

The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Company for asbestos-related claims acquired over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery.

From receipt of its first asbestos claims more than twenty five years ago to December 31, 2008, the Company has resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 253,000 claims arising from the legacy Ingersoll Rand businesses. The total amount of all settlements paid by the Company (excluding insurance recoveries) and by its insurance carriers is approximately $351 million, for an average payment per resolved claim of $1,387. The average payment per claim resolved during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $952. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

* The significant increase in dismissals in 2008 is attributed to the dismissal of large numbers of dormant and/or inactive cases in Mississippi and New York. This amount reflects the Company’s emphasis on resolution of higher value malignancy claims, particularly mesothelioma claims, rather than lower value non-malignancy claims, which are more heavily represented in the Company’s historical settlements.

From receipt of the first asbestos claim more than twenty years ago through December 31, 2008, the Company has resolved approximately 74,000 (by settlement or dismissal) claims arising from the legacy Trane business. The Company and its insurance carriers have paid settlements of approximately $125.4 million on these claims, which represents an average payment per resolved claim of $1,694. At December 31, 2008, there were 98,339 open claims pending against Trane. Because claims are frequently filed and settled in large groups, the amount and timing of settlements, as well as the number of open claims, can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

At December 31, 2008, over 90 percent of the open claims against the Company are non-malignancy claims, many of which have been placed on inactive or deferral dockets and the vast majority of which have little or no settlement value against the Company, particularly in light of recent changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims.

At December 31, 2008, the Company’s liability for asbestos related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries totaled $1,195.2 million and $423.8 million, respectively, compared to $754.9 million and $249.8 million at December 31, 2007.

The Company records certain income and expenses associated with its asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations.

The European Commission Investigation

In November 2004, Trane was contacted by the European Commission as part of a multi-company investigation into possible infringement of European Union competition law relating to the distribution of bathroom fixtures and fittings in certain European countries. On March 28, 2007, Trane, along with a number of other companies, received a Statement of Objections from the European Commission. The Statement of Objections, an administrative complaint, alleges infringements of European Union competition rules by numerous bathroom fixture and fittings companies, including Trane and certain of its European subsidiaries engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business. Certain of these legal entities were transferred to WABCO as part of a legal reorganization in connection with the spinoff of Trane’s Vehicle Control Systems business that occurred on July 31, 2007. Trane and certain of its subsidiaries and, in light of that legal reorganization, certain of WABCO’s subsidiaries will be jointly and severally liable for any fines that result from the investigation. However, pursuant to an Indemnification and Cooperation Agreement among Trane and certain other parties (Indemnification Agreement), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (WABCO Europe), which is a subsidiary of WABCO following the reorganization, will be responsible for, and will indemnify Trane and its subsidiaries (including certain subsidiaries formerly engaged in the Bath and Kitchen business) and their respective affiliates against, any fines related to this investigation. Trane and the charged subsidiaries responded to the European Commission on August 1, 2007 and July 31, 2007, respectively. A hearing with the European Commission regarding the response to the Statement of Objections was conducted from November 12-14, 2007, in Brussels. WABCO Europe and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (2006 Guidelines) and stated its intention to apply these guidelines in all cases in which a Statement of Objections is issued after September 2006. In applying the 2006 Guidelines, the Commission retains considerable discretion in calculating the fine although the European Union regulations provide for a cap on the maximum fine equal to ten percent of Trane’s worldwide revenue attributable to all of its products for the fiscal year prior to the year in which the fine is imposed. If the maximum fine is levied in 2009, the total liability could be approximately $1.1 billion based on Trane’s last full fiscal year of worldwide revenue, subject to a probable reduction for leniency of at least 20 percent provided WABCO Europe, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. WABCO has stated in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that its ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement is contingent on its funding capability at the time of the fine, which could be affected by, among other things, its ability to access its then existing credit facilities, its ability to obtain alternative sources of financing, its ability to obtain some payment relief from the European Commission or its ability to obtain a suspension of the payment obligation from the European Court of First Instance.

Other Matters

As previously reported, on November 10, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued an Order directing that a number of public companies, including the Company, provide information relating to their participation in transactions under the United Nations’ Oil for Food Program. Upon receipt of the Order, the Company undertook a thorough review of its participation in the Oil for Food Program, provided the SEC with information responsive to the Order and provided additional information requested by the SEC. During a March 27, 2007 meeting with the SEC, at which a representative of the Department of Justice (DOJ) was also present, the Company began discussions concerning the resolution of this matter with both the SEC and DOJ. On October 31, 2007, the Company

announced it had reached settlements with the SEC and DOJ relating to this matter. Under the terms of the settlements, the Company paid a total of $6.7 million in penalties, interest and disgorgement of profits. The Company has consented to the entry of a civil injunction in the SEC action and has entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the DOJ. Under both settlements, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement improvements to its compliance program that are consistent with its longstanding policy against improper payments. In the settlement documents, the Government noted that the Company thoroughly cooperated with the investigation, that the Company had conducted its own complete investigation of the conduct at issue, promptly and thoroughly reported its findings to them, and took prompt remedial measures.

In a related matter, on July 10, 2007, representatives of the Italian Guardia di Finanza (Financial Police) requested documents from Ingersoll-Rand Italiana S.p.A pertaining to certain Oil for Food transactions undertaken by that subsidiary of the Company which resulted in charges being filed against that subsidiary. Such transactions had previously been reported to the SEC and DOJ. At a December 12, 2008 hearing, all charges against the subsidiary were dismissed.

Additionally, we have reported to the DOJ and SEC that we are currently investigating certain matters involving Trane, including one relating to the Oil for Food Program, and which raise potential issues under the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. We have indicated to the SEC and DOJ that we are conducting a thorough investigation of these matters and that we would report back to them with our findings. The investigation of these matters began in earnest promptly after our acquisition of Trane in June 2008 and is currently in progress. Previously, we had reported to the SEC and DOJ potential FCPA issues relating to one of our businesses in China, and we have reported back to them and shared our audit report, which indicated no FCPA violations. These matters (and other matters which may arise or of which we become aware in the future) may be deemed to violate the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Such determinations could subject us to, among other things, further enforcement actions by the SEC or the DOJ (if, for example, the DOJ deems us to have violated the DPA), securities litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could adversely affect our business prospects and the market value of our stock.

maintenance contracts related to its air conditioning equipment and system controls. Through 2008, the Company has experienced one insignificant loss under such arrangements and considers the probability of any significant future losses to be remote.

The Company also has other contingent liabilities of $5.1 million. These liabilities primarily result from performance bonds, guarantees and stand-by letters of credit associated with the prior sale of products from divested businesses.

As part of the reorganization of IR-New Jersey in 2001, IR-Limited has fully and unconditionally guaranteed payment of all of IR-New Jersey’s issued public debt securities. No other subsidiary of ours guarantees these securities.

IR-New Jersey has unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey.

Public debt securities issued by IR Global Holding Company Limited are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR-Limited. No other subsidiary of ours guarantees these securities.

NOTE 23 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy outlined in SFAS 157 is comprised of three levels that are described below:

 

   

Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

   

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Effective February 12, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position SFAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which defers the application date of the provisions of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Due to the deferral, the Company has delayed its implementation of the SFAS 157 provisions on the fair value of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and nonfinancial long-lived assets.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

 

   

Cash and cash equivalents – These amounts include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less and are held in U.S and non-U.S. currencies.

 

   

Marketable securities – These securities include investments in publically traded stock of non-U.S. companies held by non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The fair value is obtained for the securities based on observable market prices quoted on public stock exchanges.

 

   

Derivatives instruments – These instruments include forward contracts related to non-U.S. currencies, commodities and a cross-currency swap of foreign denominated debt. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses inputs from actively quoted currency and commodity markets that are readily accessible and observable.

 

   

Benefit trust assets – These assets include money market funds and insurance contracts that are the underlying for the benefit assets. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in a readily accessible and observable market.

 

   

Securitization – This asset is the interest the Company retains in receivables sold into a special purpose entity. The fair value of the asset is based on a model that requires unobservable inputs.

 

   

Benefit liabilities – These liabilities include deferred compensation and executive death benefits. The fair value is based on the underlying investment portfolio of the deferred compensation and the specific benefits guaranteed in a death benefit contract with each executive.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,”

 

F-53


Table of Contents

(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows the Company the irrevocable option, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and liabilities at their current fair value, with the corresponding changes in fair value from period to period recognized in the income statement. As of December 31, 2008, the Company has not elected to utilize the fair value option on any of its financial assets or liabilities.

NOTE 24 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the operating segments’ results are prepared on a management basis that is consistent with the manner in which the Company disaggregates financial information for internal review and decision making. The Company largely evaluates performance based on operating income and operating margins. Intercompany sales between segments are considered immaterial.

The Company has divested various businesses over the past few years as it moves to being a leading global diversified industrial enterprise. During 2007, the Company sold its Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments business units as well as its Road Development business unit. Segment information for all years has been revised to exclude the results of these divestitures.

Each reportable segment is based primarily on the types of products it generates. The operating segments have been aggregated as required by SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” A description of the Company’s reportable segments is as follows:

NOTE 25 – GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (IR-Limited) is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization (the reorganization) that became effective on December 31, 2001. The reorganization was accomplished through a merger of a newly formed subsidiary of IR-Limited. IR-Limited and its subsidiaries continue to conduct the businesses previously conducted by IR-New Jersey and its subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, did not result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity.

As part of the reorganization, IR-Limited guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities of IR-New Jersey. The subsidiary issuer, IR-New Jersey, is 100% owned by the parent, IR-Limited, the guarantees are full and unconditional, and no other subsidiary of the Company guarantees the securities.

IR-Limited issued Class B common shares to IR-New Jersey in exchange for a $3.6 billion note and shares of certain IR-New Jersey subsidiaries. The note, which is due in 2011, has a fixed rate of interest of 11% per annum payable semi-annually and imposes certain restrictive covenants upon IR-New Jersey. At December 31, 2008, $1.0 billion of the original $3.6 billion note remains outstanding. The Class B common shares are non-voting and pay dividends comparable to the Class A common shares. In 2002, IR-Limited contributed the note to a wholly owned subsidiary, which subsequently transferred portions of the note to several other subsidiaries, all of which are included in the “Other Subsidiaries” below. Accordingly, the subsidiaries of IR-Limited remain creditors of IR-New Jersey.

IR-New Jersey has unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Company’s 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $300 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey.

The Company has revised the guarantor financial statements for all periods presented in order to reflect Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR Global Holding) as a stand-alone subsidiary. IR Global Holding, a 100% owned subsidiary of IR-Limited, issued public debt that is guaranteed by IR-Limited. As part of the process to revise the condensed financial statements, the Company noted errors within the consolidation process of the subsidiaries. Total consolidated results were not impacted

 

F-56


Table of Contents

by these revisions; however, certain amounts reported within the IR-New Jersey and Other Subsidiary columns have been corrected. The Company determined that these errors were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. All periods have been revised in the current presentation.

The condensed consolidating financial statements present IR-Limited, IR Global Holding and IR-New Jersey investments in their subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. Intercompany investments in the non-voting Class B common shares are accounted for on the cost method and are reduced by intercompany dividends. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the amounts related to the issuance of the Class B shares have been presented as contra accounts and included within Other Shareholders’ Equity since the Class B issuance on December 31, 2001. The notes payable continue to be reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of IR-New Jersey and are enforceable in accordance with their terms.

See Note 12 and 22 for a further discussion on the public debt issuance and related guarantees.

The following condensed consolidated financial information for IR-Limited, IR Global Holding, IR-New Jersey, and all their other subsidiaries is included so that separate financial statements of IR Global Holding and IR-New Jersey are not required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Such attorney may, if so authorised under the seal of the Company, execute any deed or instrument under such attorney’s personal seal with the same effect as the affixation of the seal of the Company.

6. Power to Delegate to a Committee

(1) The Board may delegate any or all of its powers to a committee or committees appointed by the Board which may consist partly or entirely of non-Directors and every such committee shall conform to such directions as the Board shall impose on them; provided that a committee appointed by the Board shall not have the power to set its or its members’ remuneration. The meetings and proceedings of any such committee shall be governed by the provisions of these Bye-laws regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Board, so far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by directions imposed by the Board.

(2) The Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board, may appoint from their number an executive committee of which committee a majority of committee members shall constitute a quorum; and to such extent as shall be provided in these Bye-laws and as may be permitted by law, such committee shall have and may exercise any or all of the powers of the Board.

 

3


(3) The Board, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board, may appoint any other standing committees and such standing committees shall have and may exercise such powers as may be conferred and authorised by these Bye-laws or by the Board and as may be permitted by law.

7. Power to Appoint and Dismiss Employees

The Board may appoint, suspend or remove any Officer, manager, secretary, clerk, agent or employee of the Company and may fix their remuneration and determine their duties.

8. Power to Borrow and Charge Property

The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking and property, or any part thereof, and may issue debentures, debenture shares and other securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or any third party.

For purposes of this Bye-law 10 (1), “a majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a Director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Director and “a plurality of votes cast” means that the nominees for available directorships who receive the highest number of affirmative votes cast are elected. In the event of a Majority Vote Election, if a Director nominated for re-election is not elected, the Director shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board . The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board shall make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the offer of resignation, or whether other action should be taken.

(4) Any general meeting may authorise the Board to fill any vacancy left unfilled at a general meeting. Any vacancy on the Board within the minimum and maximum limitations specified in Bye-law 10(1) may be filled by a majority of the Board then in office; provided that a quorum is present. During the existence of a vacancy on the Board the remaining Directors shall have full power to act; provided that a quorum is present.

Each such notice shall set forth the name and address of the Member who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated for election as a Director, a representation that the Member is a holder of record of shares of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting or to express such consent in writing and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice or to execute such a consent in writing to elect such person or persons as a Director, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the Member and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations for election as a Director are to be made by the Member, such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such Member as would have been required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission if such nominee had been nominated, or was intended to be nominated, for election as a Director by the Board, and the consent of each nominee to serve as a Director if so elected. The Board may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

11. Defects in Appointment of Directors

All bona fide acts taken at any meeting of the Board or by a committee of the Board or by any person acting as a Director shall, notwithstanding that it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were disqualified, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and qualified to be a Director.

6


(2) Notice of a special meeting of the Board shall be deemed to be duly given to a Director if it is sent to such Director by mail before the proposed date of the meeting, or given to such Director verbally in person or by telephone or otherwise communicated or sent to such Director by mail, courier service, cable, telex, telecopier facsimile, printing, computer generated email or other mode of representing words in a legible and non-transitory form, at such Director’s last known address or any other address given by such Director to the Company for this purpose at least one day before the proposed date of the meeting, but such notice may be waived by any Director.

15. Quorum at Meetings of the Board

The quorum necessary for the transaction of business at all meetings of the Board shall be a majority of the Directors then in office.

(4) Unless a greater number is expressly required by law or these Bye-laws, the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast by the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is in attendance shall be the act of the Board or a committee thereof, as appropriate. At any time that these Bye-laws provide that Directors elected by the holders of a class or series of shares shall have more or less than one vote per Director on any matter, every reference in these Bye-laws to a majority or other proportion of Directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of such Directors.

17. Unanimous Written Resolutions of Directors

A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors then in office, which may be in counterparts, shall be as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Board duly called and constituted, such resolution to be effective on the date on which the last Director signs the resolution.

18. Contracts and Disclosure of Directors’ Interests

INDEMNITY

26. Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company

(1) The Company shall indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a party to a Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (a) is or was a Director or Officer of the Company or (b) is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, general or limited partnership, firm, association, trust, estate, company (including a limited liability company) or any other entity or organisation or employee benefit plan or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under Bermuda law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Such right shall be a contract right and as such shall run to the benefit of any Director or Officer who is elected and accepts the position of Director or Officer of the Company or elects to continue to serve as a Director or Officer of the Company while this Bye-law is in effect. Any repeal or amendment of this Bye-law shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such Director or Officer or the obligations of the Company with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such Director or Officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Bye-law. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under Bermuda law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended; provided that to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Director or Officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bye-law or otherwise. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Company within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense are not permitted under Bermuda law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or Members) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor an actual determination by the Company (including the Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel or Members) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph (1), the Company shall be required to indemnify a Director or Officer in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the person was authorised by the Board.

(2) The Company may additionally indemnify any employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(3) The rights conferred on any person indemnified by this Bye-law shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Memorandum of Association of the Company, these Bye-laws, agreement, vote of the Members or disinterested Directors or otherwise.

(4) The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any person indemnified who was or is serving at its request as a Director or Officer or otherwise of another person described in subparagraph (1) shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other person.

(5) This Bye-law shall not limit the right of the Company, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than persons authorised for indemnification under this Bye-law when and as authorised by appropriate corporate action.

(6) The indemnity provided by this Bye-law 26 shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to any of said persons.

(7) “ Proceeding ,” for purposes of this Bye-law 26, means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, claim or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, claim or proceeding.

(8) Each Member agrees to exempt a Director or Officer from any claim or right of action such Member might have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Director or Officer on account of any action taken by such Director or Officer, or the failure of such Director or Officer to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for the Company; provided that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such Director or Officer.

Where, on any alteration of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the issue to Members, as appropriate, of fractions of shares and/or arranging for the sale or transfer of the fractions of shares of Members.

(4) The Company may from time to time purchase its own shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 42A of the Act.

(5) The Company may purchase its own shares for cancellation or acquire them as Treasury Shares in accordance with the Act on such terms as the Board shall think fit.

48. Registered Holder of Shares

(1) The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person.

(2) Any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect of shares may be paid by direct deposit to the bank account designated by the Member for such purpose and cheque or draft sent through the post directed to the Member at such Member’s address in the Register of Members or, in the case of

 

17


joint holders, to such address of the holder first named in the Register of Members, or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any shares any one can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.

49. Death of a Joint Holder

Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to the said share or shares and the Company shall, subject to Bye-law 60, recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.

50. Certificated or Uncertificated Shares

(1) The shares of the Company may be issued in certificated or uncertificated form. The Board shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of such certificated or uncertificated shares of the Company.

(2) Promptly after uncertificated shares have been registered as issued, the Company or its transfer agent shall send to the registered owner thereof a written statement containing a description of the issue of which such shares are a part, the number of shares registered, the date of registration and such other information as may be required or appropriate.

REGISTER OF MEMBERS

51. Contents of Register of Members

(1) The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of its Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act which are as follows:

(a) the name and address of each Member, the number and, where appropriate, the class or series of shares held by such Member and the amount paid on such shares;

(b) the date on which each person was entered in the Register as a Member; and

(c) the date on which any person ceased to be a Member.

(2) Subject to the Act, the Company may keep an overseas or local or other branch register of Members resident in any place, and the Board may make and vary such regulations as it determines in respect of the keeping of any such register and maintaining a registration office in connection therewith.

52. Inspection of Register of Members

The Register of Members and, if applicable, any branch register of Members shall be open to inspection at the registered office of the Company and, if applicable, any registration office, on every business day, subject to such reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each business day be allowed for inspection. The Register of Members and, if applicable, any branch register of Members may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper to that effect, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.

53. Transactions with Interested Members

(1) The Company may not engage, at any time, in any Business Combination with any Interested Member unless the Business Combination receives the affirmative vote of the holders of 80% of the shares then in issue of all classes of shares of the Company entitled to vote, considered for the purposes of this provision as one class.

(2) Interested Member status of a Member is determined as of the date of any action taken by the Board with respect to such transaction or as of any record date for the determination of Members entitled to notice and to vote with respect thereto or immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction. Any determination made in good faith by the Board, on the basis of information at the time available to it, as to whether any person is an Interested Member, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of these Bye-laws.

 

18


(3) The provisions of subparagraph (1) of this Bye-law shall not apply to (a) any Business Combination with an Interested Member that has been approved by the Board or (b) any agreement for the amalgamation, merger or consolidation of any subsidiary of the Company with the Company or with another subsidiary of the Company if (i) the provisions of this subparagraph shall not be changed or otherwise affected by or by virtue of the amalgamation, merger or consolidation and (ii) the holders of greater than 50% of the voting power of the Company or the subsidiary, as appropriate, immediately prior to the amalgamation, merger or consolidation continue to hold greater than 50% of the voting power of the amalgamated company immediately following the amalgamation, merger or consolidation.

54. Record Dates

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bye-laws, the Board may fix any date as the record date for:

(a) determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend; and

(b) determining the Members entitled to receive notice of and to vote in any general meeting of the Company; provided, that such record date shall not be more than sixty days before the date of such dividend or such general meeting, as the case may be.

55. Scrutineers

(1) One or more scrutineers may be appointed by the Board to act at any meeting of Members, or, if the Board fails to act, the chairman of the meeting may appoint a scrutineer or scrutineers. A scrutineer may or may not be a Member, but shall not be a candidate for the office of Director.

(2) The scrutineer or scrutineers shall determine the number of shares then in issue and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all Members.

(3) Each scrutineer, before entering upon the discharge of the duties described in Bye-law 55(2), shall be sworn faithfully to execute the duties of a scrutineer at such meeting with strict impartiality, and according to the best of such person’s ability.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

56. Instrument of Transfer

An instrument of transfer shall be in the form as may be prescribed by the Board from time to time. The Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such share until the same has been transferred to the transferee in the Register of Members.

57. Restriction on Transfer

(1) The Board shall refuse to register the transfer of a share unless such transfer is in accordance with the Bye-laws and all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda have been obtained.

(2) If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, the Secretary shall, within three months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

 

19


58. Transfers by Joint Holders

The joint holders of any share or shares may transfer such share or shares to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any share or shares previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased Member.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

59. Representative of Deceased Member

In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder (as set forth in Bye-law 60), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the deceased Member’s interest in the shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 52 of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion decide as being properly authorised to deal with the shares of a deceased Member.

60. Registration on Death or Bankruptcy

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the Company may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in the form as may be prescribed by the Board. On the presentation thereof to the Company, accompanied by such evidence as the Company may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a Member but the Company shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

61. Dividend Entitlement of Transferee

A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the share. However, the Company may determine to withhold the payment of any dividend payable or other advantages in respect of such share until such person shall become the registered holder of the share or shall have effectually transferred such share, but, subject to the requirements of these Bye-laws being met, such a person may vote at meetings.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

62. Declaration of Dividends by the Board

The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with Section 54 of the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the number of shares held by them or the class or series of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution in specie of any assets.

CAPITALISATION

63. Issue of Bonus Shares

The Board may resolve to capitalise any part of the amount for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company’s share premium or other reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata to the Members.

 

20


ACCOUNTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

64. Records of Account

The Board shall cause to be kept proper records of account with respect to all transactions of the Company and in particular with respect to:

(a) all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure relates;

(b) all sales and purchases of goods by the Company; and

(c) the assets and liabilities of the Company.

Such records of account shall be kept at the registered office of the Company or, subject to Section 83(2) of the Act, at such other place as the Board thinks fit and shall be available for inspection by the Directors during normal business hours.

65. Fiscal Year

The financial year end of the Company may be determined by resolution of the Board and failing such resolution shall be 31st December in each year.

66. Financial Statements

Subject to any rights to waive laying of accounts pursuant to Section 88 of the Act, financial statements as required by the Act shall be laid before the Members in general meeting.

AUDIT

67. Appointment of Auditor

Subject to Section 88 of the Act, in the annual general meeting or in a subsequent special general meeting in each year, an independent representative of the Members shall be appointed by them as Auditor of the accounts of the Company. Such Auditor may be a Member but no Director, Officer or employee of the Company shall, during his or her continuance in office, be eligible to act as an Auditor of the Company.

68. Remuneration of Auditor

The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or in such manner as the Members may determine.

69. Vacation of Office of Auditor

If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by the resignation or death of the Auditor, or by the Auditor becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when the Auditor’s services are required, the Board shall, as soon as practicable, convene a special general meeting to fill the vacancy thereby created.

70. Access to Books of the Company

The Auditor shall at all reasonable times have access to all books kept by the Company and to all accounts and vouchers relating thereto, and the Auditor may call on the Directors or Officers of the Company for any information in their possession relating to the books or affairs of the Company.

71. Report of the Auditor

(1) Subject to any rights to waive laying of accounts or appointment of an Auditor pursuant to Section 88 of the Act, the accounts of the Company shall be audited at least once in every year.

(2) The financial statements provided for by these Bye-laws shall be audited by the Auditor in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The Auditor shall make a written report thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the report of the Auditor shall be submitted to the Members in general meeting pursuant to Bye-law 66.

 

21


(3) The generally accepted auditing standards referred to in subparagraph (2) of this Bye-law may be those of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda. If so, the financial statements and the report of the Auditor must disclose this fact and name such country or jurisdiction.

SEAL OF THE COMPANY

72. The Seal

The seal of the Company shall be in such form as the Board may from time to time determine. The Board may adopt one or more duplicate seals for use outside Bermuda.

73. Manner in Which Seal is to be Affixed

The seal of the Company shall not be affixed to any instrument except attested by the signature of a Director or the Secretary, or any person appointed by the Board for the purpose; provided that any Director, Officer or Resident Representative, may affix the seal of the Company attested by such Director, Officer or Resident Representative’s signature to any authenticated copies of these Bye-laws, the organisation documents of the Company, the minutes of any meetings or any other documents required to be authenticated by such Director, Officer or Resident Representative.

WINDING-UP

74. Winding-up/Distribution by Liquidator

If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a resolution of the Members, divide amongst the Members in specie or in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as he or she deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities or assets whereon there is any liability.

ALTERATION OF BYE-LAWS

75. Alteration of Bye-laws

No Bye-law shall be rescinded, altered or amended and no new Bye-law shall be made until the same has been approved by a resolution of the Board and by a resolution of the Members.

(15) if the Securities of that series shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security or Securities; the manner in which and the circumstances under which Global Securities representing Securities of that series may be exchanged for Securities in definitive form, if other than, or in addition to, the manner and circumstances specified in Section 305;

SECTION 302. Denominations .

The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

33


SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating .

The Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested.

The Guarantee endorsed on any Securities shall be executed, manually or by facsimile, on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer or one of its Assistant Treasurers or its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be attested.

Securities or the Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall bind the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or the Guarantee or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or the Guarantee.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and such Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions of the Company and of the Guarantor, as the case may be, as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, such Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel of the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, stating:

(a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution of the Company and of the Guarantor, as the case may be, as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(c) that such Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, when authenticated and delivered by such Trustee and issued by the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, as the case may be, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; and

 

34


(d) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities and by the Guarantor of each Guarantee have been complied with.

If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if such Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect such Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to such Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if not all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing prior to or at the time of issuance of each Security, but such documents shall be delivered prior to or at the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee for the Securities of such series by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and, together with the Guarantee, if any, endorsed thereon, is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

SECTION 304. Temporary Securities .

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any particular series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor of the tenor of the definitive Guarantee, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officer executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by his or her execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of

 

35


the same series of authorized denominations and having endorsed thereon the Guarantee by the Guarantor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange .

The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee for the Securities of each series a register (the register maintained at such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee for the Securities of each series is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of each series shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

All Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, shall be the valid obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities and the Guarantee endorsed thereon surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee for the Securities of such series) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.

 

36


The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute (along with a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor endorsed thereon) and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such depositary, and (iii) shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “This Security (and the related Guarantee) may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form” and such other legend as may be required by the U.S. Depositary.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security (and the related Guarantee) representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the U.S. Depositary for such series to a nominee of such depositary or by a nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a successor U.S. Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor depositary.

If at any time the U.S. Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series or if any time the U.S. Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor U.S. Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor U.S. Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

 

37


The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such Series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

If the Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company will promptly execute, and the Trustee for the Securities of such series, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of a series, the U.S. Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute and the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:

(i) to each Person specified by the U.S. Depositary a new registered Security or Securities of the same series, of an authorized denomination as requested by such Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor; and

(ii) to the U.S. Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

Upon the exchange of a Global Security in whole for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the U.S. Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee for the Securities of such series. Such Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities .

If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee for the series of such Securities, the Company shall execute and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

 

38


If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee for the series of such Securities (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or such Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and having endorsed thereon a Guarantee executed by the Guarantor.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee for the series of such Securities) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series and the Guarantee endorsed thereon, issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved .

Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:

(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their

 

39


respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee for the Securities of such series in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with such Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of such Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

 

47


At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee for the Securities of such series as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantor and such Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(D) all sums paid or advanced by such Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of and accrued interest on Securities of that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee .

the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such series, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, such Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as such Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee for the Securities of any series to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities, the Guarantee or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize such Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee for the Securities of any series or to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver .

No delay or omission of the Trustee for the Securities of any series or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

For all purposes of this Indenture, the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series by an Authenticating Agent for such Securities pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery of such Securities “by the Trustee” for the Securities of such series. Any such Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United

 

62


States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $25,000,000 and, if other than the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor, subject to supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation or to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.

Any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may resign at any time by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent for such series by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which shall be acceptable to the Company, shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall give written notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of such series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee for any series of Securities agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent for such series from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and such Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to Section 607.

SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

At least one Business Day prior to any Redemption Date, the Company or the Guarantor shall deposit with the Trustee for the Securities to be redeemed or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or the Guarantor is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date (to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit at such time in accordance with the provisions of Section 401, 403 or 1006).

SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued and unpaid interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

 

82

SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee for such Security so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and such Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and such Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series, and having endorsed thereon the Guarantee executed by the Guarantor of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

SECTION 1108. Offer to Redeem Upon Change of Control Triggering Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Securities in full, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Securities on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

(iv) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section, that a Holder of Securities must follow in order to have its Securities purchased.

Holders electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Securities, with the form provided in Section 203 entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Securities completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Securities shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of Securities and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Security purchased.

A Security shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the Surrendering Holder.

The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements in this Section 1108 for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all properly tendered Securities not withdrawn under its offer.

 

84


The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of such conflict.

Each of the Company and the Guarantor shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that at all times at least two Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Securities.

ARTICLE TWELVE

- SINKING FUNDS

SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.

SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee for such Securities, Securities of such series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to such Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 309, (b) receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section, or (c) receive credit for Securities of such series (not previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision contained in the terms of such series. Securities so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by such Trustee at the sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee for the Securities of such series an Officer’s Certificate (which need not contain the statements required by Section 102) stating that no defaults in the

 

85


payment of interest, if any, with respect to Securities of that series and no Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series have occurred (which in either case have not been waived or cured) and (a) specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, (b) whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right, if any, to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series on the next ensuing sinking fund payment date and, if so, the amount of such optional sinking fund payment, and (c) the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and will also deliver to such Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Such written statement shall be irrevocable and upon its receipt by such Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the cash payments or payments therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such 60 th day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such series due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in cash without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such series in respect therefor and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series as provided in this Section.

Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee for any series of Securities shall select the Securities of such series to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1105, 1106 and 1107.

The Trustee for any series of Securities shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Security of such series with sinking fund moneys or mail any notice of redemption of Securities of such series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of interest with respect to Securities of that series or an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series except that, where the mailing of notice of redemption of any Securities shall theretofore have been made, such Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities; provided , that it shall have received from the Company a sum sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any moneys in the sinking fund for such series at the time when any such default or Event of Default, shall occur, and any moneys thereafter paid into the sinking fund, shall, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, be deemed to have been collected under Article Five and held for the payment of all such Securities. In case such Event of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 513 or the default or Event of Default cured on or before the 60 th day preceding the sinking fund payment date, such moneys shall thereafter be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section to the redemption of such Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Participant is a specified employee, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) on the date of the Participant’s separation from service, such payment shall not be made until the first day of the month that is at least six (6) months after the date of the Participant’s separation from service. In the event of the Participant’s death prior to separation from service (or prior to the expiration of the six (6) months following separation from service in the case of a specified employee), the lump sum payment shall be made to the Participant’s beneficiary on the first day of the month that is at least sixty (60) days following the date of the Participant’s death (or, if earlier, the first day of the month that is at least six (6) months following the date of the Participant’s separation from service).

 

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, neither the Committee nor the Company shall have the right to accelerate or otherwise modify the timing of payments under the Plan in a manner inconsistent with the requirements to Section 409A, and no Participant shall have any elective right relating to the time or method of payment under the Plan.


3. No additional cash payments shall be made to any Participant pursuant to Article VI of the Plan, and no Dividend Equivalents shall be credited to any Participant’s account in the Incentive Ledger pursuant to the first sentence of Article VIII(a) of the Plan, with respect to any dividend declared on the stock of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited after December 31, 2008. The foregoing shall not affect any Participant’s right to have dividends with respect to Common Stock Equivalents that were credited to the Participant’s account on December 31, 2008 credited in the form of additional Common Stock Equivalents after December 31, 2008.

All capitalized terms used in this amendment have the same meaning as under the Plan.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to be executed by its duly authorized representative on this 22nd day of December, 2008.

Exhibit 10.28

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN

(AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2005)

INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”) maintains the Ingersoll-Rand Pension Plan Number One (the “Qualified Pension Plan”) for salaried employees employed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company (the “Employees”), under which benefits are subject to plan qualification limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company recognizes that in certain circumstances it is desirable to provide pension benefits to Employees which are supplemental to those provided by the Qualified Pension Plan. The circumstances in which supplemental benefits will be paid are:

 

   

when the limitation on benefits payable under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan as specified in Section 415 of the Code (the “Section 415 Limits”) reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan;

 

   

when, effective for years after 1988, the limitation on the amount of compensation that may be taken into account in determining benefits under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan, as specified in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (the “Section 401(a)(17) Limit”), reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan, and

 

   

when the amount of compensation that may be taken into account in determining benefits under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan due to deferrals under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) further reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan.

Accordingly, the Company maintains this Supplemental Pension Plan to provide a vehicle under which supplemental benefits can be paid to salaried employees employed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company. This Supplemental Pension Plan was amended and restated effective for all persons who retire or otherwise terminate employment on or after January 1, 2003, except those persons employed by The Torrington Company, and superseded the provisions of the Company’s Supplemental Pension Plan maintained by the Company prior to January 1, 2003. This Supplemental Pension Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2005. The provisions of the Supplemental Pension Plan, as in effect prior to January 1, 2003 shall continue to be applicable to persons employed by The Torrington Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Pension Plan to the contrary, no benefit shall be payable under this Supplemental Pension Plan if, pursuant to the effective date


rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a) such benefit would be subject to Section 409A of the Code. Accordingly, the benefits payable under this Supplemental Pension Plan shall be limited (as further defined herein) to the benefits accrued and vested hereunder as of December 31, 2004, and all additional benefits of the kind provided hereunder shall be provided under the terms of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Pension Plan II.

It is intended that this Supplemental Pension Plan be treated as “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

All capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as under the Qualified Pension Plan.

SECTION 1

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN BENEFITS

 

1.1 Excess Pension Benefit. An Employee shall be entitled to a benefit under this Supplemental Pension Plan only if his or her benefit determined under the Qualified Pension Plan is less than the amount such benefit would have been if (i) the Section 415 Limits did not apply, (ii) the definition of Compensation specified under such Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation after 1988 in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) Limit, and (iii) the definition of Compensation specified under such Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation deferred under the Deferral Plan.

If an Employee’s benefit from the Qualified Pension Plan is reduced as a result of any of the conditions described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of benefit to which the Employee shall be entitled to receive under this Supplemental Pension Plan shall be determined based on the excess of (a) over (b) where:

 

  (a) is the benefit which would have been payable under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan as a single life annuity with benefits payable monthly if (i) the Section 415 Limits did not apply, (ii) the definition of Compensation specified under the Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation after 1988 in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) Limit, (iii) the definition of Compensation specified under the Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation deferred under the Deferral Plan; and (iv) the Employee had terminated service for purposes of the accrual and vesting of benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan on December 31, 2004; and

 

- 2 -


  (b) is the benefit which would have been payable as a single life annuity to the Employee under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan if the Employee had terminated service for purposes of the accrual and vesting of benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan on December 31, 2004.

Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraph (a), if an Employee elected by the Board of Directors of the Company as an officer of the Company attained age 62 on or before December 31, 2004, the amount determined under subparagraph (a) shall be determined without regard to any reduction under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan by reason of the Employee’s Determination Date having preceded his Normal Retirement Date under the Qualified Pension Plan.

SECTION 2

VESTING

 

2.1 Vesting. An Employee shall be vested in the benefit provided under Section 1.1 of this Supplemental Pension Plan in accordance with the vesting provisions of the Qualified Pension Plan, but disregarding any vesting credit the Employee may have under the Qualified Pension Plan for periods after December 31, 2004.

SECTION 3

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

3.1 Time and Form of Benefit Payments.

 

  (a) Benefits vested in accordance with Section 2.1 and payable under this Supplemental Pension Plan shall be made in the event of termination of employment by reason of death, disability, retirement or otherwise. Benefits shall be payable solely in the form of a lump sum.

 

  (b) The lump sum amount payable to an Employee shall be the lump sum value of the single life annuity determined under Section 1.1 determined under the same interest and mortality assumptions and to determine lump sum distributions under the Qualified Pension Plan on December 31, 2004. Accordingly, the lump sum payment shall equal the lump sum amount that would have been payable to the Employee under this Supplemental Pension Program if the Employee had actually terminated employment in December 31, 2004, increased to reflect interest and the Employee’s survival until the Payment Date based on the same interest and mortality assumptions used to determine the lump sum amount that would have been payable if the Employee had terminated employment on December 31, 2004.

 

  (c)

An Employee’s Payment Date shall be the later of (1) the first business day of the year following the year of the Employee’s termination of employment (or earlier separation from service under the general rules under section 409A of the Code),

 

- 3 -


 

or (2) the first day of the sixth month following the date of the employee’s termination of employment (or earlier separation from service under the general rules under section 409A of the Code). However, an Employee who is a participant in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officers Supplemental Program or the Ingersoll-Rand Company Key Management Supplemental Program may file a deferral election under the Deferral Plan at least one year in advance of the Employee’s termination of employment (or earlier separation from service under the general rules under section 409A of the Code) to defer the payment under the Deferral Plan.

 

  (d) In the event a valid deferral election is made under the Deferral Plan, the lump sum amount that would have otherwise been payable under this Supplemental Pension Plan shall be credited to the Deferral Plan as soon as practicable after the Determination Date.

 

3.2 Payments to Beneficiaries. In the event that an Employee dies prior to the Payment Date, the benefit determined under Sections 1.1 and 3.1 shall be payable to the Employee’s beneficiary(ies) under the Qualified Pension Plan thirty (30) days after the date of the Employee’s death, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

3.3 Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from the payment due under this Supplemental Pension Plan any and all taxes of any nature required by any government to be withheld from such payment.

 

3.4 Loans. No loans to Employees shall be permitted under this Supplemental Pension Plan.

SECTION 4

MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1 Amendment and Termination.

 

  (a) This Supplemental Pension Plan may, at any time and from time to time, be amended or terminated, without consent of any Employee or beneficiary by (i) the Board of Directors of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (“Limited”) or the Compensation Committee (as described in Section 4.3), or (ii) in the case of amendments which do not materially modify the provisions hereof, the Company’s Administrative Committee (as described in Section 4.3), provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall reduce any benefits accrued or vested under the terms of this Supplemental Pension Plan as of the date of termination or amendment.

 

- 4 -


  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a “change in control” of Limited, any amendment modifying or terminating this Supplemental Pension Plan shall have no force or effect. For purposes hereof, a “change in control” shall have the meaning designated: (i) in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement dated August 6, 1999 between the Company and Wachovia Bank, as trustee, or (ii) in such other trust agreement that restates or supercedes the agreement referred to in clause (i), in either case for purposes of satisfying certain obligations to executive employees of Ingersoll-Rand Company. For purposes of this Section 4, the term “change in control” shall refer solely to a “change in control” of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited.

 

4.2 No Contract of Employment. The establishment of this Supplemental Pension Plan or any modification thereof shall not give any Employee or other person the right to remain in the service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and all Employees and other persons shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Supplemental Pension Plan had never been adopted.

 

4.3 Compensation Committee. This Supplemental Pension Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Limited, or any successor committee appointed by Limited’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee has delegated to the members of the administrative committee appointed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Administrative Committee”) the authority to administer this Supplemental Pension Plan in accordance with its terms. Subject to review by the Compensation Committee, the Administrative Committee shall make all determinations as to the right of any person to a benefit. Any denial by the Administrative Committee of the claim for benefits under this Supplemental Pension Plan by an Employee or beneficiary shall be stated in writing by the Administrative Committee and delivered or mailed to the Employee or beneficiary. Such notice shall set forth the specific reasons for the Administrative Committee’s decision. In addition, the Administrative Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to any Employee or beneficiary whose claim for benefits has been denied for a review of the decision denying the claim.

 

4.4 Entire Agreement; Successors. This Supplemental Pension Plan, including any subsequently adopted amendments, shall constitute the entire agreement or contract between the Company and any Employee regarding this Supplemental Pension Plan. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written between the Company and any Employee relating to the subject matter hereof, other than those set forth herein. This Supplemental Pension Plan and any amendment shall be binding on the Company and the Employee and their respective heirs, administrators, trustees, successors, and assigns, including but not limited to, any successors to the Company by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law, and on all designated beneficiaries of the Employee.

 

4.5 Severability. If any provision of this Supplemental Pension Plan shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Supplemental Pension Plan shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of the Supplemental Pension Plan shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

- 5 -


4.6 Application of Plan Provisions. All relevant provisions of the Qualified Pension Plan shall apply to the extent applicable to the contractual obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Pension Plan. Benefits provided under the Supplemental Pension Plan are independent of, and in addition to, any payments made to Employees under any other plan, program, or agreement between the Company and Employees, or any other compensation payable to the Employee by the Company, or by any subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company.

 

4.7 Governing Law. Except as preempted by federal law, the laws of the state of New Jersey shall govern this Supplemental Pension Plan.

 

4.8 Participant as General Creditor. The Company shall have the right to establish a reserve or make any investment for the purposes of satisfying its obligation hereunder for payment of benefits at its discretion, provided, however, that no Employee eligible to participate in this Supplemental Pension Plan shall have any interest in such investment or reserve. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Supplemental Pension Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any, unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

4.9 Nonassignability. The right of any Employee or any beneficiary in any benefit hereunder shall not be subject to attachment or other legal process for the debts of such Employee or beneficiary, nor shall any such benefit be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment or encumbrance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment and restatement to be executed by its duly authorized representative this 22nd day of December, 2008.

Exhibit 10.29

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

SUPPLEMENTAL PENSION PLAN II

(EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2005)

INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”) maintains the Ingersoll-Rand Pension Plan Number One (the “Qualified Pension Plan”) for salaried employees employed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company (the “Employees”), under which benefits are subject to plan qualification limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Company recognizes that in certain circumstances it is desirable to provide pension benefits to Employees that are supplemental to those provided by the Qualified Pension Plan. The circumstances in which supplemental benefits will be paid are:

 

   

when the limitation on benefits payable under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan, as specified in Section 415 of the Code (the “Section 415 Limits”), reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan;

 

   

when, effective for years after 1988, the limitation on the amount of compensation that may be taken into account in determining benefits under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan, as specified in Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (the “Section 401(a)(17) Limit”), reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan, and

 

   

when the amount of compensation that may be taken into account in determining benefits under the Company’s Qualified Pension Plan due to deferrals under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan or the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II (collectively the “Deferral Plan”) further reduces the benefit otherwise payable under the Qualified Pension Plan.

The Company hereby adopts this Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Pension Plan II (the “Supplemental Pension Plan II”), effective January 1, 2005, to provide supplemental pension benefits subject to Section 409A of the Code on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”) to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code. The Supplemental Pension Plan II applies to benefits accrued or vested after December 31, 2004 that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a) are subject to Section 409A of the Code.

It is intended that this Supplemental Pension Plan II be treated as “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.


All capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as under the Qualified Pension Plan. To the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to the Supplemental Pension Plan II, the terms of the Supplemental Pension Plan II are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or other administrative guidance issued thereunder, and such terms shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

SECTION 1

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN BENEFITS

 

1.1 Excess Pension Benefit. An Employee shall be entitled to a benefit under this Supplemental Pension Plan II only if his or her benefit determined under the provisions of the Qualified Pension Plan is less than the amount such benefit would have been if (i) the Section 415 Limits did not apply, (ii) the definition of Compensation specified under the Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation after 1988 in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) Limit, and (iii) the definition of Compensation specified under the Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation deferred under the Deferral Plan.

If an Employee’s benefit from the Qualified Pension Plan is reduced as a result of any of the conditions described in the preceding paragraph, the benefit to which the Employee shall be entitled under this Supplemental Pension Plan II shall be equal to (a) minus (b) minus (c) where:

 

  (a) is the benefit that would have been payable under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan, as a single life annuity with benefits payable monthly, if (i) the Section 415 Limits did not apply, (ii) the definition of Compensation specified under such Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation after 1988 in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) Limit, and (iii) the definition of Compensation specified under the Qualified Pension Plan did not exclude compensation deferred under the Deferral Plan;

 

  (b) is the benefit actually payable as a single life annuity to the Employee under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan; and

 

  (c) is the benefit payable to the Employee under the Predecessor Plan, expressed in the same form and with the same commencement date as the benefit payable to the Employee under this Supplemental Pension Plan II.

For purposes of this Section 1.1, the single life annuity payable under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan and the benefit payable under the Predecessor Plan shall be determined as of the Employee’s Determination Date. The Determination Date shall be

 

2


the first date following the Employee’s separation from service (determined under the general rules under Section 409A of the Code) on which the Employee becomes eligible (or would have become eligible if the Employee’s termination of service under the Qualified Pension Plan had occurred on the date of such separation from service) to begin receiving payment of benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan, whether or not the Employee begins receiving benefits under the Qualified Pension Plan on that date.

Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraph (a), if an Employee elected by the Board of Directors of the Company as an officer of the Company has attained age 62, the amount determined under subparagraph (a) shall be determined without regard to any reduction under the terms of the Qualified Pension Plan by reason of the Employee’s Determination Date preceding his Normal Retirement Date under the Qualified Pension Plan.

SECTION 2

VESTING

 

2.1 Vesting. An Employee shall be vested in the benefit provided under Section 1.1 of this Supplemental Pension Plan II in accordance with the vesting provisions of the Qualified Pension Plan.

SECTION 3

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

3.1 Time and Form of Benefit Payment.

 

  (a) Benefits under this Supplemental Pension Plan II that are vested in accordance with Section 2.1 shall be payable solely in the form of a lump sum on the date (the “Payment Date”) that is the later of (1) the first business day of the first calendar year following the date of the Employee’s separation from service (as determined under the general rules under Section 409A of the Code), or (2) the first business day that is six months after the date of such separation from service.

 

  (b) The lump sum amount payable to an Employee under Section 3.1(a), shall be the lump sum value of the single life annuity determined under Section 1.1 hereof as of the Employee’s Determination Date. For purposes of this Section 3.1, the lump sum value shall be determined in the same manner as lump sum distributions are determined under the Qualified Pension Plan as of the Employee’s Determination Date. Such benefit shall be paid on the Employee’s Payment Date, together with interest accrued thereon from the Determination Date, (1) if the assets are held in trust, then at the interest rate of the trust, or (2) if the assets are not held in trust, at the interest rate equal to the average of the monthly rates for ten year constant maturities for U.S. Treasury Securities for the twelve month period immediately preceding the month prior to the month in which the Employee’s Determination Date occurred, as quoted by the Federal Reserve.

 

3


3.2 Payments to Beneficiaries. In the event that an Employee dies prior to the Payment Date, the benefit determined under Sections 1.1 and 3.1 shall be payable to the Employee’s beneficiary(ies) under the Qualified Pension Plan thirty (30) days after the date of the Employee’s death, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

3.3 Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from the payment due under this Supplemental Pension Plan II any and all taxes of any nature required by any government to be withheld from such payment.

  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following a “change in control” of Limited, any amendment modifying or terminating this Supplemental Pension Plan II shall have no force or effect. For purposes hereof, a “change in control” shall have the meaning designated: (i) in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Amended and Restated Grantor Trust Agreement dated August 6, 1999 between the Company and Wachovia Bank, as trustee, or (ii) in such other trust agreement that restates or supercedes the agreement referred to in clause (i), in either case for purposes of satisfying certain obligations to executive employees of Ingersoll-Rand Company. For purposes of this Section 4, the term “change in control” shall refer solely to a “change in control” of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited.

 

4.2 No Contract of Employment. The establishment of this Supplemental Pension Plan II or any modification thereof shall not give any Employee or other person the right to remain in the service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and all Employees and other persons shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Supplemental Pension Plan II had never been adopted.

 

4


4.3 Compensation Committee. This Supplemental Pension Plan II shall be administered by the Compensation Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Limited, or any successor committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Limited (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee has delegated to the members of the administrative committee appointed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Administrative Committee”) the authority to administer this Supplemental Pension Plan II in accordance with its terms.

In addition, the Administrative Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to any Employee or beneficiary whose claim for benefits has been denied for a review of the decision denying the claim.

 

4.4 Entire Agreement; Successors. This Supplemental Pension Plan II, including any subsequently adopted amendments, shall constitute the entire agreement or contract between the Company and any Employee regarding this Supplemental Pension Plan II. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written between the Company and any Employee relating to the subject matter hereof, other than those set forth herein. This Supplemental Pension Plan II and any amendment shall be binding on the Company and the Employee and their respective heirs, administrators, trustees, successors, and assigns, including but not limited to, any successors to the Company by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law, and on all designated beneficiaries of the Employee.

 

4.5 Severability. If any provision of this Supplemental Pension Plan II shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Supplemental Pension Plan II shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of the Supplemental Pension Plan II shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

4.6 Application of Plan Provisions. All relevant provisions of the Qualified Pension Plans, to the extent not inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code, shall apply to the extent applicable to the contractual obligations of the Company under this Supplemental Pension Plan II. With respect to any Employee, the applicable provisions shall be those of the Qualified Pension Plan in which the Employee participates. Benefits provided under the Supplemental Pension Plan II are independent of, and in addition to, any payments made to Employees under any other plan, program, or agreement between the Company and Employees, or any other compensation payable to the Employee by the Company, or by any subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company.

 

5

4.8 Participant as General Creditor. The Company shall have the right to establish a reserve or make any investment for the purposes of satisfying its obligation hereunder for payment of benefits at its discretion, provided, however, that no Employee eligible to participate in this Supplemental Pension Plan II shall have any interest in such investment or reserve. This Supplemental Pension Plan II shall be unfunded for federal tax purposes. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Supplemental Pension Plan II, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any, unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

4.9 Nonassignability. The right of any Employee or any beneficiary in any benefit hereunder shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or other legal process for the debts of such Employee or beneficiary, nor shall any such benefit be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, pledge, transfer, assignment or encumbrance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be executed by its duly authorized representative this 22nd day of December, 2008.

Exhibit 10.30

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

(AMENDED AND RESTATED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009)

INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”) established the Ingersoll-Rand Company Employee Savings Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”) effective January 1, 2003 for employees employed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company (the “Employees”), under which benefits do not reflect compensation of Employees in excess of the limitation imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or Compensation deferred under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”).

The purpose of this amended and restated Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Employee Savings Plan, which was formerly known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Savings and Stock Investment Plan (the “Supplemental Savings Plan”) is to provide a vehicle under which Employees can be paid benefits which are supplemental to benefits payable under the Qualified Savings Plan with respect to compensation that is not taken into account under the Qualified Savings Plan.

Effective August 1, 2002, the liabilities under the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Retirement Account Plan (the “Supplemental RAP”) were merged into this Supplemental Savings Plan. This Supplemental Savings Plan was last amended and restated effective January 1, 2003 with respect to all Employees except those Employees employed by The Torrington Company.

This Supplemental Savings Plan is hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2009. The provisions of this Supplemental Savings Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 2003 shall continue to apply to Employees of The Torrington Company.

It is intended that this Supplemental Savings Plan be treated as “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms shall have the same meanings as they have under the Qualified Savings Plan.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Savings Plan to the contrary, the terms of this Supplemental Savings Plan are limited to amounts credited to Employees accounts hereunder (including earnings on such amounts) with respect to compensation earned in years commencing prior to January 1, 2005 that pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), are

Exhibit 10.31

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY

SUPPLEMENTAL EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN II

Effective January 1, 2005 and Amended and

Restated through January 1, 2009

INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”) established the Ingersoll-Rand Company Employee Savings Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”) effective January 1, 2003 for employees employed by the Company and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company (the “Employees”), under which benefits do not reflect compensation of Employees in excess of the limitation imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or compensation deferred under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II (the “Deferral Plan”). The Qualified Savings Plan is a continuation of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Savings and Stock Investment Plan.

The purpose of this Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Employee Savings Plan II (the “Supplemental Savings Plan II”) is to provide a vehicle under which Employees can be paid benefits that are supplemental to benefits payable under the Qualified Savings Plan with respect to compensation that is not taken into account under the Qualified Savings Plan.

The Supplemental Savings Plan II is a continuation of the amended and restated Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”), which was formerly known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Savings and Stock Investment Plan. The Company has frozen the Predecessor Plan with respect to all deferrals to the extent such deferrals would be subject to Section 409A of the Code.

The Company now hereby adopts this Supplemental Savings Plan II, effective January 1, 2005, to provide for deferrals of amounts subject to Section 409A of the Code on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Predecessor Plan to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code. The Supplemental Savings Plan II shall apply to amounts credited to Employees accounts hereunder (including earnings on such amounts) with respect to compensation earned after December 31, 2004 that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a) are subject to Section 409A of the Code.

It is intended that this Supplemental Savings Plan II be treated as “a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. To the extent that Section 409A of the Code applies to the Supplemental Savings Plan II, the terms of the Supplemental Savings Plan II are intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations or other administrative guidance issued thereunder, and such terms shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

INTRODUCTION

Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”) adopted this Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officers Supplemental Program II (the “Program”), effective January 1, 2005, to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain key management individuals employed by the Company and its affiliates in addition to the benefits provided from other qualified and non-qualified plans maintained by the Company and its affiliates. The Program shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”). The terms of the Program are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and any regulations or other administrative guidance issued thereunder, and the terms of the Program shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

The Program is a continuation of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officers Supplemental Program (the “Predecessor Program”). The Predecessor Program became effective on June 30, 1995 and was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2003, and was thereafter amended. Effective December 31, 2004, the Company froze the Predecessor Program to exclude all subsequently deferred amounts that would otherwise be subject to Code Section 409A, including benefits accrued under the Predecessor Program as of December 31, 2004 that were not vested as of that date.

The Company has adopted the Program to provide supplemental retirement benefits subject to Code Section 409A on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Predecessor Program to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Code Section 409A. The Program shall apply to benefits accrued or vested on or after January 1, 2005 that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Code Section 409A, are subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A.

The Company now hereby amends and restates the Program effective as of January 1, 2009.

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

5.1 Retirement

Upon an Employee’s Retirement, the benefit described in Section 3.1 shall be subject to further adjustment as follows:

 

  (a) Retirement at Age 62 – Upon attaining age 62, an Employee may retire and receive the benefit determined under Section 3.1.

 

  (b) Retirement before Age 62 – If an Employee who has become vested in accordance with Section 4.1 retires before attaining age 62, he will receive a benefit under the Program equal to the benefit he would have received upon Retirement at age 62, provided however that:

 

  (i) the amount determined under Section 3.1(a) shall be reduced by 0.429% for each month that the date of the Employee’s Retirement precedes attainment of age 65;

 

  (ii) the benefit offset amount as determined under Appendix A from the Pension Plan and any other plan(s) identified in Appendix A, as adjusted under the terms of the applicable plan(s) for retirement to the earliest date on which the Employee may retire and begin receiving a benefit under such plan(s), and as further adjusted, if necessary, to an actuarially equivalent benefit payable on the date of the Employee’s Retirement; and

 

  (iii) for years prior to Social Security normal retirement age, the Social Security Primary Insurance Amount (as defined in Appendix A) shall be reduced by the same factors used by the Social Security Administration to adjust benefits payable at age 62 or later, and by 0.3% for each month that the date of the Employee’s Retirement precedes attainment of age 62.

 

  (c) Retirement after Age 62 – If an Employee retires after age 62, he will receive a benefit equal to the greater of:

 

  (i) the benefit determined under Section 3.1 as of his date of Retirement, or

 

6


  (ii) the benefit he would have received had his Retirement occurred at age 62, credited with interest from the date he attained age 62 until his date of Retirement. For purposes of this subsection (ii), the interest rate will be equal to the average of the monthly rates for ten-year Constant Maturities for US Treasury Securities for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month prior to the month in which a determination of benefit occurs, as quoted by the Federal Reserve.

 

5.2 Time and Form of Distribution

 

  (a) Benefits under the Program shall be payable solely in a single lump sum. In the case of Retirement, the lump sum benefit shall be paid on the later of (i) the first business day that is six months after the date of the Employee’s Retirement, or (ii) the first business day of the calendar year following the year of the Employee’s Retirement. In the case of disability or death, the lump sum benefit shall be paid on the payment date prescribed by Section 5.3 or Section 5.4, as applicable.

 

  (b) The lump sum amount determined under Sections 3.1 and 5.1, shall be credited with interest from the determination date under Section 3.1 until the date of distribution at the average of the monthly rates for ten-year Constant Maturities for U.S. Treasury Securities for the twelve-month period immediately preceding the month prior to the month in which a determination of benefit occurs, as quoted by the Federal Reserve.

 

5.3 Disability

An Employee who becomes disabled prior to his or her Separation from Service and who remains continuously disabled until attaining age 65 (or earlier death) shall continue to accrue benefits (and Years of Service) under the Program as if he continued to be employed by the Company and his Retirement occurred upon his attainment of age 65 (or earlier death). Such Employee shall be paid the lump sum, determined under Sections 3.1 and 5.2 of the Program, on the first business day of the month following the month the Employee attains age 65 (or such earlier date applicable to death benefits under Section 5.4(a)).

 

7


Notwithstanding any other provision of the Program to the contrary, when determining Final Average Pay for an Employee who is disabled under the provisions of this Section, Final Average Pay means the sum of:

 

  (a) the average of each of the three highest bonus awards (whether the awards are paid to the Employee, are a Deferral Amount (as such term is defined in the Deferral Plan) or the Employee has elected to forgo a bonus award pursuant to the Estate Program) during the six most recent calendar years, including the year during which the Employee’s disability occurs, (or, if the average of the three highest bonus awards would be greater, the six most recent calendar years prior to the year in which the Employee’s disability occurs), but excluding Supplemental Contributions (as such term is defined in the Deferral Plan) or any amounts paid from the Deferred Compensation Account (as such term is defined in the Deferral Plan) or any other account under the Deferral Plan including, but not limited to, amounts paid consisting of Deferral Amounts and Supplemental Contributions and their earnings, and any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to the Estate Program, and

 

  (b) the Employee’s annualized base salary in effect as of the date he became disabled.

An Employee who is no longer disabled under this Section 5.3 and who returns to the employ of an Employer, shall be entitled to accrue benefits under this Section 5.3 for the period of his disability.

An Employee who is no longer disabled under this Section 5.3 and who does not return to the employ of the Company or an affiliated company, shall not be entitled to accrue any benefits under this Section 5.3 for any portion of the period of his disability.

For purposes of the Program, an Employee shall be disabled if he has: (a) a condition under which the Employee: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Company; or (b) any other condition under which the Employee is considered “disabled” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(C).

 

5.4 Death

 

  (a) In the event of an Employee’s death prior to Retirement, his beneficiary shall receive a lump sum payment determined under Section 3.1 as if the Employee retired on the date of death, provided that if the Employee’s death occurs prior to his attainment of age 55, such death benefit shall be reduced by 0.3% for each month that the benefit commences before the Employee would have reached age 65. Such lump sum benefit shall be payable thirty (30) days after the date of the Employee’s death, or as soon as practicable thereafter.

 

8


  (b) The Employee’s beneficiary(ies) shall be the same as the Employee’s beneficiary(ies) under the Pension Plan, or, if the Employee was not a participant in the Pension Plan, such other qualified defined benefit pension plan or Foreign Plan in which the Employee has participated. If the Employee was not a participant in, or has no beneficiary under, the Pension Plan, another qualified defined benefit pension plan, or a Foreign Plan, the Employee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.

 

5.5 No Acceleration

Except to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, no benefits or payments under the Program shall be accelerated at any time.

ARTICLE 6

FUNDING

 

6.1 Funding

Except as provided in Section 7.1 hereof, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to fund the benefit that an Employee earns under the Program.

 

6.2 Company Obligation

Notwithstanding the provisions of any trust agreement or similar funding vehicle to the contrary, the Company shall remain obligated to pay benefits under the Program. Nothing in the Program or any trust agreement shall relieve the Company of its liabilities to pay benefits under the Program except to the extent that such liabilities are met by the distribution of trust assets.

ARTICLE 7

CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

7.1 Contributions to Trust

In the event that a Change in Control has occurred, the Company shall be obligated to contribute to a trust (which may include a pre-existing trust established to enable the Company to satisfy its nonqualified benefit obligations) an amount necessary to fund the accrued benefit earned by the Employee under the Program (assuming immediate benefit commencement) determined as of the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the date the Board determines that a Change in Control has occurred. If the Employee shall not have attained age 55, his annual benefit shall be determined on the same basis used to determine his accrued benefit in the case of death as specified in Section 5.4.

 

9


7.2 Amendments

Following a Change in Control of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, any amendment modifying or terminating the Program shall have no force or effect.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1 Amendment and Termination

Except as provided in Section 7.2, the Program may, at any time and from time to time, be amended or terminated without the consent of any Employee or beneficiary, (a) by the Board or the Compensation Committee, or (b) in the case of amendments which do not materially modify the provisions hereof, the Administrative Committee (as described in Section 8.5); provided, however, that no such amendment or termination shall reduce any benefits accrued or vested under the terms of the Program as of the date of termination or amendment.

 

8.2 No Contract of Employment

The establishment of the Program or any modification hereof shall not give any Employee or other person the right to remain in the service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and all Employees and other persons shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Program had never been adopted.

 

8.3 Withholding

The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any payment due under the Program any and all taxes of any nature required by any government to be withheld from such payment.

 

8.4 Loans

No loans to Employees shall be permitted under the Program.

 

10


8.5 Compensation Committee

The Program shall be administered by the Compensation Committee (or any successor committee) of the Board. The Compensation Committee has delegated to the members of the administrative committee appointed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Administrative Committee”) the authority to administer the Program in accordance with its terms. Subject to review by the Compensation Committee, the Administrative Committee shall make all determinations relating to the right of any person to a benefit under the Program, and unless modified by the Compensation Committee, any determination by the Administrative Committee shall be conclusive and binding upon all affected parties. Any denial by the Administrative Committee of a claim for benefits under the Program by an Employee or beneficiary shall be stated in writing by the Administrative Committee and delivered or mailed to the Employee or beneficiary. Such notice shall set forth the specific reasons for the Administrative Committee’s decision. In addition, the Administrative Committee shall afford a reasonable opportunity to any Employee or beneficiary whose claim for benefits has been denied for a review of the decision denying this claim.

 

8.6 Entire Agreement; Successors

The Program, including any subsequently adopted amendments, shall constitute the entire agreement or contract between the Company and any Employee regarding the Program. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Company and any Employee regarding the provisions of the Program, other than those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, to the extent any written agreement between the Company and an Employee modifies the provisions of the Program with respect to the Employee, such agreement shall be deemed to modify the provisions of the Program but only to the extent such agreement is approved by the Compensation Committee. The Program and any amendment hereof shall be binding on the Company, and the Employees and their respective heirs, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns, including but not limited to, any successors of the Company by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law, and on all designated beneficiaries of the Employee.

 

8.7 Severability

If any provisions of the Program shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Program shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of the Program shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

8.8 Governing Law

Except as preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of New Jersey shall govern the Program.

 

11


8.9 Participant as General Creditor

Benefits under the Program shall be payable by the Company out of its general funds. The Company shall have the right to establish a reserve or make any investment for the purposes of satisfying its obligations hereunder for payment of benefits at its discretion, provided, however, that no Employee eligible to participate in the Program shall have any interest in such investment or reserve. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under the Program, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

8.10 Nonassignability

To the extent permitted by law, the right of any Employee or any beneficiary in any benefit hereunder shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment, or any other legal or equitable process for the debts of such Employee or beneficiary nor shall any such benefit be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or encumbrance.

 

12


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Program to be executed by its duly authorized representative on this 22nd day of December, 2008.

APPENDIX A

The sum of the following benefit offset amount shall be used for purposes of Sections 3.1(b) and 5.1(b) of the Program, irrespective of whether the Employee commences to receive a benefit under any of the plans identified below at the date the Employee’s benefit under the Program is determined:

 

  (a) All employer-paid benefits under any qualified defined benefit plan (as defined in Code Section 414(j)) and associated supplemental plans (including the Ingersoll-Rand Company Supplemental Pension Plan II) sponsored by the Company. For purposes of this Paragraph (a), the amount of any pension payable under the Clark Equipment Company Retirement Program for Salaried Employees shall be determined without reduction by the lifetime pension equivalent of the Employee’s vested interest in his PPOA Account (as such term is defined in the IR/Clark Leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan).

The Employee’s benefit, if any, under any qualified defined benefit plan and associated supplemental plans described in the previous paragraph, shall be determined as a life annuity based on the Employee’s credited period of service under such plan through the date of the Employee’s Separation from Service, converted to a lump sum in accordance with the factors used to determine lump sum distributions under such plan(s) or, if lump sum distributions are not available under such plan(s), as the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent of the accrued and vested benefits under such plan(s).

 

  (b) The Social Security Primary Insurance Amount (as defined below) estimated at age 65, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is his Years of Service (up to a maximum of 35 Years of Service), and the denominator of which is 35.

For purposes of the Program, “Social Security Primary Insurance Amount” means the amount of the Employee’s annual primary old age insurance determined under the Social Security Act in effect at the date of determination and payable in accordance with (i) or (ii) below.

 

  (i) For benefits determined on or after age 65, payable for the year following his date of retirement.

 

  (ii) For benefits determined before the Employee attains age 65, payable for the year following his retirement or death (or which would be payable when he first would have become eligible if he were then unemployed), assuming he will not receive after retirement (or death) any income that would be treated as wages for purposes of the Social Security Act.

 

14


For purposes of determining the Social Security Benefit under paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, an Employee’s covered earnings under said Act for each calendar year preceding the Employee’s first full calendar year of employment shall be determined by multiplying his covered earnings subsequent to the year being determined by the ratio of the average per worker total wages as reported by the Social Security Administration for the calendar year being determined to such average for the calendar year subsequent to the year being determined.

The “Social Security Primary Insurance Amount” determined above shall be converted to a lump sum that is the Actuarial Equivalent of such benefit.

 

  (c) An Employee’s accrued benefit under any qualified defined benefit pension plan (as defined in Code Section 414(j)) and any nonqualified pension plan with respect to any business that was acquired by the Company or any of its affiliates (“Acquired Business”) in respect of any period of service with the Acquired Business that is counted as a Year of Service under the Program. Each such pension plan, including but not limited to the Ingersoll Rand Company/Thermo King Executive Pension Plan, the Hussmann Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, and the Trane Inc. Executive Supplemental Retirement Benefit Program, is referred to herein as a “Former Plan.” The Employee’s accrued benefit under the Former Plan shall be determined as a life annuity payable as of the date of determination, using the Former Plan’s early retirement factors, if applicable, and converted to a lump sum based on the factors used to determine lump sum distributions under the Former Plan or, if lump sum distributions are not available under the Former Plan, as the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits accrued under the Former Plan.

 

  (d) Any and all benefits accrued or accumulated by the Employee under any Foreign Plan (as defined in Section 1.12 of the Program) in respect of any period of service with a foreign Employer that is counted as a Year of Service under the Program, excluding any benefit attributable to the Employee’s own contributions (whether voluntary or mandatory) under any Foreign Plan. Such benefits shall be converted to a lump sum based on the factors used to determine lump sum distributions under such plan(s) or, if lump sum distributions are not available under such plan(s), as the lump sum Actuarial Equivalent of the benefits accrued under such plan(s).

Mr. Herb Henkel

28881 Girard Terrace

Naples, FL 34110

 

RE:    Ingersoll-Rand Company
   Elected Officers Supplemental Program II

Dear Mr. Herb:

In furtherance of the approvals from the Board of Directors of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (“Board”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”) during their meetings held on February 4, 2009, and pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.6 of the Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officer Supplemental Program II (“Plan”), the Board and the Compensation Committee hereby amend the Plan with respect to your benefits thereunder to provide that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the interest rate that shall be used for purposes of determining the “Actuarial Equivalent” lump sum amount of your benefit under Section 3.1(a) of the Plan shall be the interest rate specified in Section 1.1 of the Plan that would have been used if you had retired in February 2009. The effect of this amendment is to assure that your benefit under the Plan will not be increased or decreased by reason of interest rate changes between now and the actual date of your retirement.

All benefits payable under the Plan, including any additional benefit payable to you as a result of this amendment to the Plan, will be subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This amendment will not affect the amount of the benefit payable to you under the Ingersoll-Rand Company Elected Officer Program (EOSP I), which is not subject to Section 409A. The frozen EOSP I benefit will offset the benefit payable to you under the Plan.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Patricia Nachtigal

IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Company”), its non-employee members of the Board (“Non-employee Directors”) and members by providing its Non-employee Directors the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan, originally known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Directors Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001, was subsequently amended as of December 21, 2001, and was again amended and restated effective August 1, 2007. This further amendment and restatement is effective January 1, 2009.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (including any election made by any Participant under the Plan), (i) no amount shall be deferred under the Plan if, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), such amount would be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered New Deferral Amount”), and (ii) any amount previously deferred under the Plan that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount”) shall no longer be credited or payable under the Plan after December 31, 2004. Any Non-Grandfathered New Deferral Amount shall instead be deferred under the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II, and any Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount shall instead be credited under the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II, as and to the extent provided under the terms of IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II.

SECTION 3

PARTICIPATION, DEFERRAL ELECTION AND INVESTMENT ELECTION

 

3.1 Participation and Deferral Election . Non-employee Directors may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year by filing a completed Election Form for the Plan Year in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Company. The Election Form must specify the percentage or dollar amount of any Deferral Amount otherwise payable during such Plan Year that will be deferred under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, at the Non-employee Director’s direction, an election to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year may continue from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election for a subsequent period is submitted to the Secretary of the Company on or before the date 15 days prior to the beginning of the subsequent Plan Year. Any election to defer a Deferral Amount is irrevocable upon the filing of the Election Form, and must be properly completed and filed no later than the November 30 immediately preceding such Plan Year, or, with respect to a new Non-employee Director, before the effective date of his or her election to the Board, or such other date as the Secretary of the Company may specify. A Non-employee Director who fails to file a properly completed Election Form by such date will be ineligible to defer a Deferral Amount under the Plan for the following Plan Year. In addition, the Company may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines are necessary or proper.

If the Company determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a Non-employee Director, the Company shall have the right to (i) terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s membership status changes, (ii) prevent the Participant from making future deferral elections and/or (iii) immediately distribute the Participant’s then vested Account Balances and terminate the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

3.2 Investment Election . In accordance with procedures established by the Company, prior to the time a Participant’s Deferral Amounts are credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1, the Participant shall designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Deferral Amounts will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account and, with respect to Deferral Amounts that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

 

- 4 -


Subject to Section 5.3, in making the designations pursuant to this Section, the Participant may specify that all or any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment options provided under the Plan. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section with respect to prior and/or future Deferral Amounts by filing an Election Form no later than the time specified by the Secretary of the Company, to be effective as of the first business day of the following month. If a Participant fails to elect a type of investment option under this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the investment option designated by the Company as the default investment option.

All Deferral Amounts, other than Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 5.3.

 

- 5 -


Each Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. A Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited as follows:

On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option, and

Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option selected by the Company.

 

5.2 Supplemental Contribution Accounts . The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Supplemental Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Supplemental Contribution for such Plan Year. All Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account on the same date that the Participant’s Deferral Amount for which the Supplemental Contribution is being made is credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1. All of a Participant’s Supplemental Contributions shall be deemed to be invested in, and shall remain deemed to be invested in, IR Stock in the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account until such amounts are distributed from the Plan.

All Supplemental Contributions shall initially be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account in units or fractional units of IR Stock. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Supplemental Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the number of units by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.3

IR Stock Accounts . The Company shall establish and maintain a separate IR Stock Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who elects to have all or a portion of his of her Deferral Amounts for such Plan Year invested in IR Stock. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date

 

- 6 -


 

when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, IR Stock credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account may not be designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in any other investment option and shall remain invested in IR Stock in such IR Stock Account until distributed from the Plan. A Participant’s IR Stock Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account, the Company shall credit the IR Stock Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount.

 

  (b) All Deferral Amounts deemed to be invested in IR Stock in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form shall be credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Deferral Amounts are credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Deferral Amounts by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s IR Stock Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.4 Deferred IR Stock Award Amount . For periods before July 1, 2003, each Non-employee Director shall receive an annual award on the date of the first Board meeting after each annual meeting of shareholders in the form of a promise by the Company to deliver 600 shares of IR Stock, or such other amount as may from time to time be established by resolution of the Board. Annual awards of shares of IR Stock shall be credited to the Deferred IR Stock Award Account of each Non-employee Director.

A Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day an annual award of IR Stock is credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the Company shall credit the Deferred IR Stock Award Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s annual award of IR Stock.

 

  (b)

All awards of IR Stock pursuant to this Section and amounts credited pursuant to Section 5.5 shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of

 

- 7 -


 

one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that awards of IR Stock are credited to the Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such IR Stock awarded by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.5 Deferred Amounts upon Termination of the Retirement Plan . The shares of IR Stock credited to the deferred compensation accounts (such crediting having occurred prior to the Plan’s amendment and restatement effective January 1, 2001) of the Non-employee Directors pursuant to the resolutions adopted by the Board on November 6, 1996, with respect to the elimination of retirement payments to Non-employee Directors shall be credited to the Deferred IR Stock Award Account of each Non-Employee Director as of January 1, 2001.

 

5.6 Conversion of Deferred Compensation Account Balances. A Non-employee Director’s cash balance in the deferred compensation program as of December 31, 1996 was transferred to an equivalent balance in the Plan as of January 1, 1997. Such balance was equal to the number of shares of IR Stock, including fractions, which could have been purchased with such cash account balance on January 2, 1997 at the mean of the high and low prices of a share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange – Composite Tape on such date, provided that if no sales of shares of IR Stock were made on the New York Stock Exchange on that date, the mean of the high and low prices reported for the preceding day on which sales of shares of IR Stock were made on the New York Stock Exchange.

A Non-employee Director’s balance, as such balance is described in the previous paragraph, shall be credited to the Non-employee Director’s Conversion Account as of January 1, 2001 in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Non-employee Director’s Conversion Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.7

Valuation of Account Balance in Event of Change in Control . In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.4, the value of each IR Stock unit deemed to be invested in each IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution

 

- 8 -


 

Account, Conversion Account and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall be equal to the highest Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan of 1998) of one share of IR Stock during the 60 days preceding the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.4, the value of a Participant’s Account Balances for all investment options other than IR Stock shall be determined as of the end of the month during which the Change in Control occurs.

 

5.8 Changes in Capitalization . If there is any change in the number or class of shares of IR Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or other extraordinary dividends, or recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares or in the event of similar corporate transactions, the units in each Participant’s IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, Conversion Account and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any such change in the number or class of issued shares of IR Stock or to reflect such similar corporate transaction.

 

5.9 Accounts are Bookkeeping Entries . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment options, including IR Stock, are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such investment option, the allocation to his or her Account Balances thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balances shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment in any such investment option. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investment options, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balances shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

5.10 Mandatory Fee Deferral . Effective July 1, 2003, on each IR Stock quarterly dividend payment date a portion of each Non-employee Director’s Fees equal to $15,000, or such other amount as may from time to time be established by resolution of the Board, shall be deferred and credited to the Deferred IR Stock Award Account of each Non-employee Director.

A Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day the Fees are credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the Company shall credit the Deferred IR Stock Award Account with an amount equal to the Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section.

 

- 9 -


  (b) All Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Fees under this Section are credited to the Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Fees by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

SECTION 6

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant terminates, has reached Retirement or dies while receiving annual installments pursuant to Section 6.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not terminated employment, reached Retirement or died.

All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account Balances.

 

6.2 Scheduled Distributions . A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Deferral Account and IR Stock Account with respect to a Plan Year(s) while still a Non-employee Director. A Participant’s election for a distribution under this Section shall be permitted only if the distribution date has been specified on an original Election Form timely filed by the Participant under Section 3.1, and such distribution date (in the event of a lump sum) or the date of commencement of such distribution (in the event of annual installments) is no earlier than two (2) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which the portion of the Deferral Account and IR Stock Account to be distributed was actually deferred. A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to extend the date for any distribution under this Section with respect to any Plan Year, provided such election occurs at least one year before the date of distribution most recently elected for that Plan Year by the Participant and the extension is for a period of not less than two (2) years after the date of distribution most recently elected for that Plan Year by the Participant. The Participant shall have the right to extend the date for any distribution under this Section for a Plan Year twice.

At the time an election for a distribution under this Section is made, the Participant shall also elect, on the Election Form, the form of payment of the distribution. The Participant shall elect either (i) a lump sum payment to be paid as soon as soon as administratively practicable in the year specified by the Participant on the Election Form or (ii) annual installments over two (2), three (3), four (4) or five (5) years beginning as soon as administratively practicable in the year specified by the Participant on the Election Form.

 

- 11 -


A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to change the form of payment for any distribution under this Section for any Plan Year to any other form of payment permitted under this Section, provided such election occurs at least one (1) year before the date of distribution previously elected by the Participant.

All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Deferral Account(s) and IR Stock Account(s), as applicable.

 

6.3 Form of Payments . All amounts in a Participant’s Deferral Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in cash. All amounts in a Participant’s Conversion Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, Deferred IR Stock Award Account, and IR Stock Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in IR Stock; except that, with respect to any fractional share, such fractional share shall be paid in cash.

All distributions from the Plan that are to be paid in a specified number of annual installments shall be paid so that the amount of each annual installment is determined by dividing the total remaining number of units in the Participant’s Account Balance to be paid in annual installments by the number of years of annual installments remaining.

 

6.4 Change in Control . In the event of a Change in Control, as defined in this Section, all Account Balances shall be valued pursuant to Section 5.7, and shall be distributed in a lump sum within forty five (45) days following the Change in Control.

- 12 -


(3) “Beneficial Owner” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined by Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any successor provision at the time in effect); provided, however, that any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association, or other person or entity which has the right to acquire any of the Company’s outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors at any time in the future, whether such right is contingent or absolute, pursuant to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise, shall be deemed the Beneficial Owner of such securities.

(4) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of either of the following:

(a) any individual, corporation, partnership, group, association or other person or entity, together with its Affiliates and Associates (other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company), is or becomes the Beneficial Owner of securities of the Company representing 20 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, unless a majority of the Continuing Directors determines in their sole discretion that, for purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control has not occurred;

(b) the Continuing Directors shall at any time fail to constitute a majority of the members of the Board; or

(c) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company, other than any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer to any person or entity where the Company owns, directly or indirectly, at least 80 percent of the outstanding voting securities of such person or entity after any such transfer.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.4 or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, none of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement which are undertaken by (i) Ingersoll-Rand Company or its affiliates prior to or as of the Effective Time or (ii) Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited or its affiliates on or after the Effective Time shall trigger, constitute or be deemed a Change in Control.

(5) “Continuing Director” shall mean a Director who either was a member of the Board on April 24, 1998 or who became a member of the Board subsequent to such date and whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was Duly Approved by the Continuing Directors of the Board at the time of such nomination or election, either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement issued by the Company on behalf of the Board in which such

 

- 13 -


person is named as a nominee for Director, provided, however, that no individual shall be considered a Continuing Director if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents other than by or on behalf of the Board (a “Proxy Contest”), including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest.

(6) “Duly Approved by the Continuing Directors” shall mean an action approved by the vote of at least a majority of the Continuing Directors then on the Board, except, if the votes of such Continuing Directors in favor of such action would be insufficient to constitute an act of the Board if a vote by all of its members were to have been taken, then such term shall mean an action approved by the unanimous vote of the Continuing Directors then on the Board so long as there are at least three Continuing Directors on the Board at the time of such unanimous vote.

 

6.5 Taxes; Withholding . To the extent required by law, the Company, or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from payments made hereunder an amount equal to at least the minimum taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government. The amount to be withheld and the manner in which amounts shall be withheld shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the trustee of the Trust.

SECTION 7

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

A Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive the Participant’s Account Balances in the event the Participant dies prior to receiving all of his or her Account Balances. A Beneficiary designation shall be made, and may be amended at any time, by the Participant by filing a written designation with the Secretary of the Company, on such form and in accordance with such procedures as the Company shall establish from time to time. A Participant may change the designated Beneficiary under this Plan at any time by providing such designation in writing to the Secretary of the Company.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary(ies), or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate. If the Company is unable to determine a Participant’s Beneficiary or if any dispute arises concerning a Participant’s Beneficiary, the Company may pay benefits to the Participant’s estate. Upon such payment, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder.

If any distribution to a Beneficiary is to be made in annual installments, and the Beneficiary dies before receiving all such installments, the value of the remaining installments, if any, shall be paid to the estate of the Beneficiary in a lump sum.

 

- 14 -


SECTION 8

These shares of IR Stock may be provided from newly-issued or treasury shares.

 

9.5 Singular and Plural . As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

 

9.6 Captions . The captions to the articles, sections, and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

 

9.7 Applicable Law . This Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Company”), its non-employee members of the Board (“Non-employee Directors”) and members by providing its Non-employee Directors the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes. To the extent Code Section 409A applies to the Plan, the terms of the Plan are intended to comply with that provision, and the terms of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

The Plan is a successor to the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). The Predecessor Plan, which previously was known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Directors Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001.

On December 31, 2004, the Company froze the Predecessor Plan with respect to all deferrals to the extent such deferrals would otherwise be subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A). Also on December 31, 2004, the Company adopted the Plan to provide for deferrals of amounts subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A) on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Predecessor Plan to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Code Section 409A.

The Company amended and restated the Plan in its entirety, effective August 1, 2007, to conform the terms of the Plan to the requirements of the regulations under Code Section 409A. This further amendment and restatement is generally effective January 1, 2009. The Plan applies to (i) amounts initially deferred hereunder on or after January 1, 2005, (ii) amounts initially credited to the Predecessor Plan before January 1, 2005 that, pursuant to the effective-date rules of Code Section 409A, are subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, and (iii) investment earnings allocable to amounts described in (i) and (ii). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no amount will be deferred or credited under this Plan with respect to a Participant for a Plan Year if such amount is properly deferred or credited with respect to such Participant for such Plan Year under the Predecessor Plan.

SECTION 3

PARTICIPATION, DEFERRAL ELECTION AND INVESTMENT ELECTION

 

3.1 Participation and Deferral Election . Non-employee Directors may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year by filing a completed Election Form for the Plan Year in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Company. The Election Form must specify the percentage or dollar amount of any Deferral Amount otherwise payable during such Plan Year that will be deferred under the Plan.

Any election to defer a Deferral Amount otherwise payable for services provided by a Non-Employee Director during a Plan Year is irrevocable upon the filing of the Election Form, and must be properly completed and filed no later than: (i) the December 31 immediately preceding such Plan Year; or (ii) with respect to a new Non-employee Director who is described in Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(ii), before the earlier of the effective date of his or her election to the Board or the 30th day after such new Non-employee Director first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (provided that such election shall relate only to amounts earned subsequent to the date such Election Form is filed).

A Non-employee Director who fails to file a properly completed Election Form by such date will be ineligible to defer a Deferral Amount under the Plan for the following Plan Year. In addition, the Company may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines are necessary or proper.

If the Company determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a Non-employee Director, the Participant shall not be permitted to make any future deferral election under this Section 3.1 for any future Plan Year.

 

3.2 Investment Election . In accordance with procedures established by the Company, prior to the time a Participant’s Deferral Amounts are credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1, the Participant shall designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Deferral Amounts, other than Fees deferred under Section 5.7, will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account and, with respect to Deferral Amounts that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

Subject to Section 5.3, in making the designations pursuant to this Section, the Participant may specify that all or any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount, other than Fees deferred under Section 5.7, be deemed to be invested, in

 

4


whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment options provided under the Plan. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section with respect to prior and/or future Deferral Amounts by filing an Election Form no later than the time specified by the Secretary of the Company, to be effective as of the first business day of the following month. If a Participant fails to elect a type of investment option under this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the investment option designated by the Company as the default investment option.

A Participant shall not be permitted to make any election under this Section 3.2 with respect to any Fees deferred under Section 5.7.

 

3.3 Duration of Elections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (a) any election under Section 3.1 (including a failure to make an election) shall remain in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election for a subsequent Plan Year is submitted to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with Section 3.1; and (b) any election under Section 3.2 (including a failure to make an election) shall remain in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election is submitted to the Secretary of the Company, which request shall be effective as to any Deferral Amount credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account 30 or more days after such written request is submitted to the Secretary of the Company; provided that nothing in this Section 3.3(b) shall permit a Participant to make such a written request as to the deemed investment of Fees deferred under Section 5.7.

 

3.4 Cessation of Deferrals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Election Form of a Non-Employee Director will be given effect for any period after December 31, 2008, and no Deferral Amount (including any mandatory fee deferral under Section 5.7 of the Plan) shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account with respect to services performed by a Non-Employee Director after December 31, 2008.

On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option, and

Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option selected by the Company.

 

5.2

Supplemental Contribution Accounts . The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Supplemental Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Supplemental Contribution for such Plan Year. All Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account on the same date that the Participant’s Deferral Amount for which the Supplemental Contribution is being made is

 

6


 

credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1. All of a Participant’s Supplemental Contributions shall be deemed to be invested in, and shall remain deemed to be invested in, IR Stock in the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account until such amounts are distributed from the Plan.

All Supplemental Contributions shall initially be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account in units or fractional units of IR Stock. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Supplemental Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the number of units by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.3 IR Stock Accounts . The Company shall establish and maintain a separate IR Stock Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who elects to have all or a portion of his of her Deferral Amounts for such Plan Year invested in IR Stock. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, IR Stock credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account may not be designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in any other investment option and shall remain invested in IR Stock in such IR Stock Account until distributed from the Plan. A Participant’s IR Stock Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account, the Company shall credit the IR Stock Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount.

 

  (b) All Deferral Amounts deemed to be invested in IR Stock in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form shall be credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Deferral Amounts are credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Deferral Amounts by the value of a unit on such date.

 

7


Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s IR Stock Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

5.4 Valuation of Account Balance in Event of Change in Control . In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.5, the value of each IR Stock unit deemed to be invested in each IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall be equal to the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date of the transaction constituting the Change in Control if IR Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange on such date, or, if IR Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange on such date but is traded on another securities market on such date, the closing price of one share of IR Stock on such securities market on such date, or, in any other case, the value of one share of IR Stock as determined under the terms of the transaction constituting the Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to Section 6.5, the value of a Participant’s Account Balances for all investment options other than IR Stock shall be determined as of the end of the month during which the Change in Control occurs.

 

5.5 Changes in Capitalization . If there is any change in the number or class of shares of IR Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or other extraordinary dividends, or recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares or in the event of similar corporate transactions, the units in each Participant’s IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any such change in the number or class of issued shares of IR Stock or to reflect such similar corporate transaction.

 

5.6 Accounts are Bookkeeping Entries . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment options, including IR Stock, are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such investment option, the allocation to his or her Account Balances, and Deferred IR Stock Award Account thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balances and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment in any such investment option. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investment options, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balances and Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

 

8


5.7 Mandatory Fee Deferral . On each IR Stock quarterly dividend payment date a portion of each Non-employee Director’s Fees equal to $15,000 shall be deferred and credited to the Deferred IR Stock Award Account of such Non-employee Director. Effective January 1, 2007, the amount of mandatory quarterly fee deferral shall be increased to $23,000.

A Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day the Fees are credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the Company shall credit the Deferred IR Stock Award Account with an amount equal to the Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section.

 

  (b) All Fees that are deferred pursuant to this Section shall be credited to a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Fees under this Section are credited to the Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Fees by the value of a unit on such date.

Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Deferred IR Stock Award Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

SECTION 6

DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS

 

6.1 Separation from Service and Death . Effective August 1, 2007 or as otherwise provided in Section 6.9, a Participant who has a Separation from Service or dies shall be paid his or her vested Account Balances (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in a lump sum in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death unless an optional form of benefit payment is elected in accordance with the next sentence. For each Plan Year’s Account Balance the Participant may elect on an initial Election Form filed in accordance with Section 3.1 by the time specified in Section 6.8, an optional form of benefit payment from among the following:

Annual installments over five (5) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death;

 

9


Annual installments over ten (10) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death;

Annual installments over fifteen (15) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death; and

A lump sum distribution payable in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on such Election Form; provided that such specified year shall be no less than one (1) year and no more than five (5) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may irrevocably elect, on a subsequent Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section to a lump sum distribution payable in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on such Election Form, which Plan Year shall not be later than ten (10) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service or death, provided that, as and to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C): (i) no such election shall take effect until twelve months after the date on which such election was made; (ii) no such election (other than an election related to a distribution payable by reason of death) shall be effective unless it defers by a period of at least five years the date on which such distribution would otherwise be made or begin; and (iii) no such election related to a distribution payable at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv)) may be made within twelve months of the date such distribution would otherwise be made. As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence.

In the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service or death prior to the elected date for one or more scheduled distributions pursuant to Section 6.2, the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance associated with such distribution(s) shall be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) at the time and in the form determined under this Section 6.1.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant has a Separation from Service or dies while receiving annual installments pursuant to Section 6.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not had a Separation from Service or died.

All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account Balances.

 

10


6.2 Scheduled Distributions . A Participant may elect, on an initial Election Form filed in accordance with Section 3.1 by the time specified in Section 6.8, to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Deferral Account and IR Stock Account with respect to such Plan Year(s) while still a Non-employee Director. A Participant’s election for a distribution under this Section shall be permitted only if the date specified on the Election Form by the Participant for such distribution (in the event of a lump sum) or the commencement of such distribution (in the event of annual installments) is no earlier than two (2) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which the portion of the Deferral Account and IR Stock Account to be distributed is actually deferred. At the time an election for a distribution under this Section is made, the Participant shall also elect, on the Election Form, the form of payment of the distribution. The Participant shall elect either (i) a lump sum payment to be paid in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form or (ii) annual installments over two (2), three (3), four (4) or five (5) years beginning in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form.

A Participant may irrevocably elect, on a subsequent Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section, provided that, as and to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C): (i) no such election shall take effect until twelve months after the date on which such election was made; (ii) no such election shall be effective unless it defers by a period of at least five years the date on which such distribution would otherwise be made or begin; and (iii) no such election may be made within twelve months of the date such distribution would otherwise be made. As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence.

All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Deferral Account(s) and IR Stock Account(s), as applicable.

 

6.3 Prohibition of Accelerations. Except to the extent that the Company is permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(3) to exercise discretion to accelerate distributions under the Plan, the time or schedule of any distribution hereunder shall not be accelerated.

 

6.4 Medium of Payments . All amounts in a Participant’s Deferral Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in cash. All amounts in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, Deferred IR Stock Award Account, and IR Stock Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in IR Stock.

All distributions from the Plan that are to be paid in a specified number of annual installments shall be paid so that the amount of each annual installment is determined by dividing the total remaining number of units in the Participant’s Account Balance to be paid in annual installments by the number of years of annual installments remaining.

 

11


6.5 Change in Control . In the event of a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (a “Change in Control”), all Account Balances shall be valued pursuant to Section 5.4, and shall be distributed in a lump sum within forty five (45) days following such Change in Control.

 

6.6 Taxes; Withholding . To the extent required by law, the Company, or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from payments made hereunder an amount equal to at least the minimum taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government. The amount to be withheld and the manner in which amounts shall be withheld shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the trustee of the Trust.

 

6.7 Treatment of Installments; Date of Distribution . For purposes of Code Section 409A, any series of installment payments payable to or with respect to a single Participant shall be treated as a single payment under the Plan. Any distribution due under the Plan shall be made by the last day of the Plan Year in which such distribution, disregarding this sentence, is due under the Plan or such other date as may be permitted or required under Code Section 409A.

 

6.8 Timing of Initial Election Forms. Any election made on an initial Election Form (but not a subsequent Election Form) referenced in Section 6.1 or 6.2 that applies to a Deferral Amount shall be irrevocable (except to the extent such election is subject to a subsequent election under Section 6.1 or 6.2 as permitted by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C)) and must be made no later than the election deadline that applies under Section 3.1 to such Deferral Amount or, in the case of a Fees described in Section 5.7, December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant performs the services to which such Fees relate.

 

6.9 Transition Period Elections. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, on or before December 31, 2008, a Participant may make a new irrevocable election, in writing, to change the time or form of payment of any Deferral Amount under the Plan, provided that no new payment election shall be given effect if (a) it would cause any payment to be made in calendar year 2008, (b) it would defer payment of an amount otherwise payable in calendar year 2008 to a later calendar year, or (c) it would, by its express terms, require payment later than calendar year 2017. A new payment election under this Section 6.9 shall be limited to those times and forms of payment permitted on the election form provided to the Participant.

 

12


SECTION 7

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

A Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive the Participant’s Account Balances in the event the Participant dies prior to receiving all of his or her Account Balances. A Beneficiary designation shall be made, and may be amended at any time, by the Participant by filing a written designation with the Secretary of the Company, on such form and in accordance with such procedures as the Company shall establish from time to time. A Participant may change the designated Beneficiary under this Plan at any time by providing such designation in writing to the Secretary of the Company.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary(ies), or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate. If the Company is unable to determine a Participant’s Beneficiary or if any dispute arises concerning a Participant’s Beneficiary, the Company may pay benefits to the Participant’s estate. Upon such payment, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder.

If any distribution to a Beneficiary is to be made in annual installments, and the Beneficiary dies before receiving all such installments, the remaining installments, if any, shall continue to be paid as installments to the estate of the Beneficiary.

SECTION 8

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

8.1 Amendment. The Plan may, at any time and from time to time, be amended without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, by the Board (or an authorized Committee of the Board); provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce any benefits accrued under the terms of the Plan prior to the date of amendment.

 

8.2 Termination of Plan

 

  a. Company’s Right to Terminate . The Board (or an authorized Committee of the Board) may terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.

 

  b.

Payments Upon Termination. As and to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, all amounts deferred under the Plan with respect to a Participant shall be paid to the Participant, in a lump sum, upon the Company’s termination and liquidation of the Plan, provided that: (1) the termination and liquidation do not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company; (2) the Company terminates and

 

13


 

liquidates all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Company that would be aggregated with the Plan and any other terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements under Code Section 409A if the Participant had deferrals of compensation under all the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements that are terminated and liquidated; (3) no payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12 months of the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the action to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred; (4) all payments are made within 24 months of the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan; and (5) the Company does not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with the Plan or any other terminated and liquidated plan under Code Section 409A if the Participant participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan.

SECTION 9

MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1 Unsecured General Creditor . Benefits under the Plan shall be payable by the Company out of its general funds. The Company shall have the right to establish a reserve or make any investment for the purposes of satisfying its obligations hereunder for payment of benefits at its discretion, provided, however, that no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in such investment or reserve. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. No Participant shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company under the Plan, including as a result of the crediting of units to the Participant’s IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, or Deferred IR Stock Award Account, except at such time as distribution is actually made from the Participant’s IR Stock Account, Supplemental Contribution Account, or Deferred IR Stock Award Account, as applicable.

This Plan and any amendment hereof shall be binding on the Company and the Participants and, their respective heirs, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns, including but not limited to, any successors of the Company by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law, and on all designated Beneficiaries of the Participant.

 

14


9.3 Non-Assignability . To the extent permitted by law, the right of any Participant or any Beneficiary in any benefit hereunder shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment or any other legal process for the debts of such Participant or Beneficiary; nor shall any such benefit be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance.

 

9.4 Authorization and Source of Shares . Shares of IR Stock necessary to meet the obligations of the Plan have been reserved and authorized pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board on December 4, 1996, and additional shares of IR Stock shall be reserved and authorized for delivery under the Plan from time to time. These shares of IR Stock may be provided from newly-issued or treasury shares.

 

9.5 Singular and Plural . As the context may require, the singular may be read as the plural and the plural as the singular.

 

9.6 Captions . The captions to the articles, sections, and paragraphs of this Plan are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of its provisions.

 

9.7 Applicable Law . This Plan shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey.

 

9.8 Severability . If any provisions of this Plan shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Plan shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Plan shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”), its employees, the employees of a Participating Employer and members of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited by providing a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Company or a Participating Employer the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. The Plan, originally known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Executive Deferred Compensation and Stock Bonus Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001, and was again amended and restated effective August 1, 2007. This further amendment and restatement is effective January 1, 2009.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (including any election made by any Participant under the Plan), (i) no amount shall be deferred under the Plan if, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), such amount would be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered New Deferral Amount”), and (ii) any amount previously deferred under the Plan that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount”) shall no longer be credited or payable under the Plan after December 31, 2004. Any Non- Grandfathered New Deferral Amount shall instead be deferred under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II, and any Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount shall instead be credited under the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II, as and to the extent provided under the terms of the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II.

SECTION 2

1


2.2 “Administrative Committee” shall mean the committee appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company which will administer the Plan in accordance with the duties delegated to it by the Compensation Committee or as set forth herein.

 

2.3 “Base Salary” means a Participant’s annual base salary, excluding bonuses, commissions, incentive compensation and all other remuneration for services rendered to the Company or a Participating Employer and prior to a reduction for any salary contributions to a plan established pursuant to Code Section 125 or qualified pursuant to Code Section 401(k).

6


 

Any election to defer a Deferral Amount is irrevocable upon the filing of the Election Form, and must be properly completed and filed no later than the November 30 immediately preceding such Plan Year, or such other date as the Administrative Committee may specify. An Eligible Employee who fails to file a properly completed Election Form by such date will be ineligible to defer a Deferral Amount under the Plan for the following Plan Year. In addition, the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines are necessary or proper.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine from time to time the percentage of Base Salary that may be deferred by Participants under the Plan in any Plan Year. Once such a determination is made the percentage shall remain in effect until changed by the Administrative Committee.

 

  If the Administrative Committee determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in accordance with ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1), the Administrative Committee shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (i) terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s membership status changes, (ii) prevent the Participant from making future deferral elections and/or (iii) immediately distribute the Participant’s then vested Account Balances and terminate the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

In accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to the time a Participant’s Deferral Amounts are credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 6.1, the Participant shall designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Deferral Amounts will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account and, with respect to Deferral Amounts that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

 

  Subject to the right of the Administrative Committee to direct the types of investment options in which a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions will be deemed to be invested as described in Section 6.3, in the event a Participant receives a Discretionary Company Contribution, the Participant shall, at the time designated by the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account and, with respect to Discretionary Company Contributions that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

  In making the designations pursuant to this Section, the Participant may specify that all or any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount and, subject to Section 6.3, Discretionary Company Contributions be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment options provided under the Plan as communicated from time to time by the Administrative Committee. Subject to Section 6.4, a Participant may change the designation made under this Section with respect to prior and/or future Deferral Amounts and/or, subject to Section 6.3, prior and/or future Discretionary Company Contributions by filing an Election Form no later than the time specified by the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be effective as of the first business day of the following month. Except for Discretionary Company Contributions that the Administrative Committee, pursuant to Section 6.3, has directed the investment options in which a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions shall be deemed to be invested, if a Participant fails to elect a type of investment option under this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the investment option designated by the Administrative Committee as the default investment option.

SECTION 6

ACCOUNTS AND VALUATIONS

 

6.1 Deferral Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Deferral Account for each Participant for each Plan Year. All Deferral Amounts, other than Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 6.4.

 

  Each Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. A Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option, and

 

  (b) Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option.

 

6.2 Supplemental Contribution Accounts. The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Supplemental Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Supplemental Contribution for such Plan Year. All Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account on the same date that the Participant’s Deferral Amount applicable to a Cash Incentive Compensation Award for which the Supplemental Contribution is being made is credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 6.1. All of a Participant’s Supplemental Contributions shall be deemed to be invested in, and shall remain deemed to be invested in, IR Stock in the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account until such amounts are distributed from the Plan.

 

 

All Supplemental Contributions shall initially be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account in units or fractional units of IR Stock. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the

 

9


 

closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Supplemental Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the number of units by the value of a unit on such date.

 

  Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

6.3 Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Discretionary Company Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Discretionary Company Contribution for such Plan Year. All Discretionary Company Contributions, other than those that are deemed, at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee pursuant to the following paragraph, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account on the date determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. All Discretionary Company Contributions that are deemed, at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 6.4.

 

  Each Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the time a Discretionary Company Contribution is made, direct that a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution be invested in any one or more of the Investment Option Subaccounts (including the IR Stock Account) and that such Discretionary Company Contribution remain invested in such Investment Option Subaccounts until at least such time as the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that such Discretionary Company Contribution, or portion thereof, may, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4, be invested in Investment Option Subaccounts elected by the Participant. A Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a)

On the day a Discretionary Company Contribution is credited to a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form or as directed by the Administrative Committee; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution that the Participant has elected, or

 

10


 

that the Administrative Committee has directed, to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option.

 

  (b) Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option.

 

  To the extent an agreement between the Company and the Participant contains provisions governing the deemed investment of Discretionary Company Contributions made on behalf of the Participant, the deemed investment provisions of such agreement shall apply.

 

6.4 IR Stock Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate IR Stock Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who (i) elects to have all or a portion of his of her Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions for such Plan Year invested in IR Stock or, (ii) receives a Discretionary Company Contribution which is directed, pursuant to Section 6.3, by the Administrative Committee to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. All Discretionary Company Contributions that are deemed, whether at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, IR Stock credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account may not be designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in any other investment option and shall remain invested in IR Stock in such IR Stock Account until distributed from the Plan. A Participant’s IR Stock Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount or Discretionary Company Contribution is credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the IR Stock Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount and/or Discretionary Company Contribution.

 

  (b)

All Deferral Amounts and Discretionary Company Contributions deemed to be invested in IR Stock in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form or, with respect to Discretionary Company Contributions as directed by the Administrative Committee, shall be credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be

 

11


 

determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions are credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions by the value of a unit on such date.

 

    Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s IR Stock Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

6.5 Changes in Capitalization . If there is any change in the number or class of shares of IR Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or other extraordinary dividends, or recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares or in the event of similar corporate transactions, the units in each Participant’s IR Stock Account and Supplemental Contribution Account shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any such change in the number or class of issued shares of IR Stock or to reflect such similar corporate transaction.

 

6.6 Accounts are Bookkeeping Entries . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment options, including IR Stock, are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such investment option, the allocation to his or her Account Balances thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balances shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balances in any such investment option. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investment options, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balances shall at all times be a bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

  A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section that he or she has previously elected to any other form of distribution or time permitted under this Section, provided that no such election shall be effective unless it is made at least one (1) year before the Participant’s termination, Retirement, Disability or death, as applicable.

 

  In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company with five (5) years of Service, Retirement, Disability or death prior to the elected date for one or more scheduled distributions prior to termination of employment under Section 7.2, the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance associated with such distribution(s) shall be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same form as elected by the Participant under this Section.

 

13


  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant terminates employment after completing five (5) years of Service, has reached Retirement, incurs a Disability or dies while receiving annual installments prior to termination of employment pursuant to Section 7.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not terminated employment, reached Retirement, incurred a Disability or died.

 

  All distributions under this Section shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account Balances.

 

7.2 Scheduled Distributions Prior to Termination of Employment . A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Deferral Account, IR Stock Account and vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account with respect to a Plan Year(s) while still employed by the Company. A Participant’s election for a distribution under this Section shall be permitted only if the distribution date has been specified on an original Election Form timely filed by the Participant under Section 4.1, and such distribution date (in the event of a lump sum) or the date of commencement of such distribution (in the event of annual installments) is no earlier than two (2) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which the portion of the Deferral Account, IR Stock Account and vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account to be distributed was actually deferred. A Participant may elect, on an Election Form, to extend the date for any distribution under this Section with respect to any Plan Year, provided such election occurs at least one year before the date of distribution most recently elected for that Plan Year by the Participant and the extension is for a period of not less than two (2) years after the date of distribution most recently elected for that Plan Year by the Participant. The Participant shall have the right to extend the date for any distribution under this Section for a Plan Year twice.

 

  At the time an election for a distribution under this Section is made, the Participant shall also elect, on the Election Form, the form of payment of the distribution. The Participant shall elect either (i) a lump sum payment to be paid as soon as soon as administratively practicable in the year specified by the Participant on the Election Form or (ii) annual installments over two (2), three (3), four (4) or five (5) years beginning as soon as administratively practicable in the year specified by the Participant on the Election Form.

IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan II (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between Ingersoll-Rand Company (the “Company”), its employees, the employees of a Participating Employer and members of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited by providing a select group of management and highly compensated employees of the Company or a Participating Employer the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA. To the extent Code Section 409A applies to the Plan, the terms of the Plan are intended to comply with that provision, and the terms of the Plan shall be interpreted and administered in accordance therewith.

The Plan is a successor to the IR Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Predecessor Plan”). The Predecessor Plan, which previously was known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Executive Deferred Compensation and Stock Bonus Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001.

On December 31, 2004, the Company froze the Predecessor Plan with respect to all deferrals to the extent such deferrals would otherwise be subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A). Also on December 31, 2004, the Company adopted the Plan to provide for deferrals of amounts subject to Code Section 409A (including amounts that were credited under the Predecessor Plan as of December 31, 2004 but were not grandfathered with respect to Code Section 409A) on substantially the same terms as those provided under the Predecessor Plan to the extent such terms are not inconsistent with Code Section 409A.

The Company amended and restated the Plan in its entirety, effective August 1, 2007, to conform the terms of the Plan to the requirements of the regulations under Code Section 409A. This further amendment and restatement is effective January 1, 2009. The Plan applies to (i) amounts initially deferred hereunder on or after January 1, 2005, (ii) amounts initially credited to the Predecessor Plan before January 1, 2005 that, pursuant to the effective-date rules of Code Section 409A, are subject to the provisions of Code Section 409A, and (iii) investment earnings allocable to amounts described in (i) and (ii). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, no amount will be deferred or credited under this Plan with respect to a Participant for a Plan Year if such amount is properly deferred or credited with respect to such Participant for such Plan Year under the Predecessor Plan.

SECTION 4

PARTICIPATION, DEFERRAL ELECTION AND INVESTMENT ELECTION.

 

4.1

Participation and Deferral Election . Any Eligible Employee may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year by filing a completed Election Form for the Plan Year in the manner prescribed by the Administrative Committee. The

 

6


 

Election Form must specify the percentage or dollar amount of any Deferral Amount otherwise payable for or during such Plan Year that will be deferred under the Plan. No Election Form shall be accepted by the Administrative Committee unless it provides that the Participant has elected to defer a combination of cash compensation and/or Stock Based Award equal to a minimum of $5,000.

 

  Any election to defer a Deferral Amount for a Plan Year is irrevocable upon the filing of the Election Form, and must be properly completed and filed by the Participant no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the first Plan Year during which the services for which the compensated is paid or awarded are performed or:

 

  (a) In the case of a new Participant who is described in Code Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(ii), the 30th day after such new Participant first becomes eligible to participate in the Plan (provided that such election shall relate only to compensation for services performed subsequent to the date such Election Form is filed);

 

  (b) In the case of any compensating award that constitutes performance-based compensation for purposes of Code Section 409A; the June 30 immediately preceding the Plan Year in which such award would otherwise be paid or such earlier date established by the Administrative Committee; if, by reason of events occurring after the Participant’s Deferral Election, compensation ceases to be performance-based compensation for purposes of section 409A, any deferral election made under this paragraph (and not timely made under any other provision of this Section 4.1) shall be considered untimely and given no force or effect;

 

  (c) In the case of any compensatory award that, at the time the Participant obtains a legally binding right to the award, is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) for a period of at least 13 months, the 30th day after the Participant obtains a legally binding right to such award.

 

  An Eligible Employee who fails to file a properly completed Election Form by the applicable date indicated above will be ineligible to defer under the Plan the Deferral Amount to which such applicable date relates. In addition, the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines are necessary or proper.

 

  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine from time to time the percentage of Base Salary that may be deferred by Participants under the Plan in any Plan Year. Once such a determination is made the percentage shall remain in effect until the beginning of the first Plan Year after such percentage is changed by the Administrative Committee.

 

7


  If the Administrative Committee determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a member of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as membership in such group is determined in accordance with ERISA Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1), the Participant shall not be permitted to make any future deferral election under this Section 4.1 for any future Plan Year.

 

4.2 Investment Election . In accordance with procedures established by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to the time a Participant’s Deferral Amounts are credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 6.1, the Participant shall designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Deferral Amounts will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account and, with respect to Deferral Amounts that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

 

  Subject to the right of the Administrative Committee to direct the types of investment options in which a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions will be deemed to be invested as described in Section 6.3, in the event a Participant receives a Discretionary Company Contribution, the Participant shall, at the time designated by the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account and, with respect to Discretionary Company Contributions that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

 

  In making the designations pursuant to this Section, the Participant may specify that all or any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount and, subject to Section 6.3, Discretionary Company Contributions be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment options provided under the Plan as communicated from time to time by the Administrative Committee. Subject to Section 6.4, a Participant may change the designation made under this Section with respect to prior and/or future Deferral Amounts and/or, subject to Section 6.3, prior and/or future Discretionary Company Contributions by filing an Election Form no later than the time specified by the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be effective as of the first business day of the following month.

  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.2, in no event may a Participant designate that any Base Salary deferred under the Plan or any earnings thereon be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, and in no event may a Participant designate that any Stock Based Awards or earnings thereon be deemed to be invested other than in IR Stock.

 

  Except for Discretionary Company Contributions that the Administrative Committee, pursuant to Section 6.3, has directed the investment options in which a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contributions shall be deemed to be invested, if a Participant fails to elect a type of investment option under this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the investment option designated by the Administrative Committee as the default investment option.

 

4.3 Duration of Elections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary: (a) any election under Section 4.1 (including a failure to make an election) shall remain in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election for a subsequent Plan Year is submitted to the Administrative Committee in accordance with Section 4.1; and (b) any election under Section 4.2 (including a failure to make an election) shall remain in effect from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election is submitted to the Administrative Committee, which request shall be effective as to any Deferral Amount credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account 30 or more days after such written request is submitted to the Administrative Committee; provided that nothing in this Section 4.3(b) shall permit a Participant to make such a written request as to the deemed investment of Stock Based Awards.

SECTION 6

ACCOUNTS AND VALUATIONS

 

6.1 Deferral Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Deferral Account for each Participant for each Plan Year. All Deferral Amounts, other than Stock Based Awards and Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. All Stock Based Awards and Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 6.4.

 

  Each Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. A Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount is credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Deferral Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount that the Participant has elected to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option, and

 

  (b) Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Deferral Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option.

 

6.2

Supplemental Contribution Accounts. The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Supplemental Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Supplemental Contribution for such Plan Year. All Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account on the same date that the Participant’s Deferral Amount applicable to a Cash Incentive Compensation Award for which the Supplemental Contribution is being made is credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 6.1. Effective August 2, 2006, no further

 

10


 

Supplemental Contributions shall be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account. All of a Participant’s Supplemental Contributions shall be deemed to be invested in, and shall remain deemed to be invested in, IR Stock in the Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account until such amounts are distributed from the Plan.

 

  All Supplemental Contributions shall initially be credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account in units or fractional units of IR Stock. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Supplemental Contributions are credited to a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the number of units by the value of a unit on such date.

 

  Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

6.3 Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate Discretionary Company Contribution Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who receives a Discretionary Company Contribution for such Plan Year. All Discretionary Company Contributions, other than those that are deemed, at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee pursuant to the following paragraph, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account on the date determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. All Discretionary Company Contributions that are deemed, at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 6.4.

 

  Each Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion, at the time a Discretionary Company Contribution is made, direct that a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution be invested in any one or more of the Investment Option Subaccounts (including the IR Stock Account) and that such Discretionary Company Contribution remain invested in such Investment Option Subaccounts until at least such time as the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that such Discretionary Company Contribution, or portion thereof, may, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4, be invested in Investment Option Subaccounts elected by the Participant. A Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Discretionary Company Contribution is credited to a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the Investment Option Subaccounts of the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form or as directed by the Administrative Committee; that is, the portion of the Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution that the Participant has elected, or that the Administrative Committee has directed, to be deemed to be invested in a certain type of investment option shall be credited to the Investment Option Subaccount corresponding to that investment option.

 

11


  (b) Each business day, each Investment Option Subaccount of a Participant’s Discretionary Company Contribution Account shall be adjusted for earnings or losses in an amount equal to that determined by multiplying the balance credited to such Investment Option Subaccount as of the prior day plus contributions credited that day to the Investment Option Subaccount by the Return for the corresponding investment option.

 

  To the extent an agreement between the Company and the Participant contains provisions governing the deemed investment of Discretionary Company Contributions made on behalf of the Participant, the deemed investment provisions of such agreement shall apply.

 

6.4 IR Stock Accounts . The Administrative Committee shall establish and maintain a separate IR Stock Account for each Plan Year for each Participant who (i) elects to have all or a portion of his of her Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions for such Plan Year invested in IR Stock, (ii) elects to defer Stock Based Awards pursuant to Section 4.1, or (iii) receives a Discretionary Company Contribution which is directed, pursuant to Section 6.3, by the Administrative Committee to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock. All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date when the Deferral Amount would otherwise be paid to the Participant. All Stock Based Awards shall be credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account at the time such Stock Based Awards become vested. All Discretionary Company Contributions that are deemed, whether at the Participant’s election or as directed by the Administrative Committee, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account on the date determined by the Administrative Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, IR Stock credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account may not be designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in any other investment option and shall remain invested in IR Stock in such IR Stock Account until distributed from the Plan. A Participant’s IR Stock Accounts shall be credited as follows:

 

  (a) On the day a Deferral Amount or Discretionary Company Contribution is credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account, the Administrative Committee shall credit the IR Stock Account with an amount equal to the Participant’s Deferral Amount and/or Discretionary Company Contribution.

 

12


  (b) All Deferral Amounts and Discretionary Company Contributions deemed to be invested in IR Stock in accordance with the Participant’s Election Form or, with respect to Discretionary Company Contributions as directed by the Administrative Committee, shall be credited to a Participant’s IR Stock Account in units or fractional units. The value of each unit shall be determined each business day and shall equal the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape. On each date that Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions are credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account, the number of units to be credited shall be determined by dividing the amount of such Deferral Amounts and/or Discretionary Company Contributions by the value of a unit on such date.

 

    Dividends paid on IR Stock shall be reflected in a Participant’s IR Stock Account by the crediting of additional units or fractional units. Such additional units or fractional units shall equal the value of the dividends based upon the closing price of one share of IR Stock on the New York Stock Exchange-Composite Tape on the date such dividends are paid.

 

6.5 Changes in Capitalization . If there is any change in the number or class of shares of IR Stock through the declaration of a stock dividend or other extraordinary dividends, or recapitalization resulting in stock splits, or combinations or exchanges of such shares or in the event of similar corporate transactions, the units in each Participant’s IR Stock Account and Supplemental Contribution Account shall be equitably adjusted to reflect any such change in the number or class of issued shares of IR Stock or to reflect such similar corporate transaction.

 

6.6

Accounts are Bookkeeping Entries . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan that may be interpreted to the contrary, the investment options, including IR Stock, are to be used for measurement purposes only, and a Participant’s election of any such investment option, the allocation to his or her Account Balances thereto, the calculation of additional amounts and the crediting or debiting of such amounts to a Participant’s Account Balances shall not be considered or construed in any manner as an actual investment of his or her Account Balances in any such investment option. In the event that the Company or the trustee of the Trust, in its own discretion, decides to invest funds in any or all of the investment options, no Participant shall have any rights in or to such investments themselves. Without limiting the foregoing, a Participant’s Account Balances shall at all times be a

 

13


 

bookkeeping entry only and shall not represent any investment made on the Participant’s behalf by the Company or the Trust. The Participant shall at all times remain an unsecured creditor of the Company.

SECTION 7

DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS

 

7.1 Separation from Service with Five Years of Service, Retirement, Disability and Death . Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, a Participant who has a Separation from Service after completing at least five (5) years of Service, has a Retirement, incurs a Disability, or dies shall be paid his or her vested Account Balances (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in a lump sum in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability or death, unless an optional time or form of benefit payment has been elected by the Participant in accordance with the next sentence. For each Plan Year’s Account Balance the Participant may elect, on an initial Election Form filed in accordance with Section 4.1 by the time specified in Section 7.11, an optional form of benefit payment from among the following:

 

  (1) Annual installments over five (5) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability or death;

 

  (2) Annual installments over ten (10) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability or death;

 

  (3) Annual installments over fifteen (15) years commencing in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability or death; and

 

  (4) A lump sum distribution payable in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on such Election Form; provided, however, that such specified date shall be no less than one (1) year and no more than five (5) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability or death.

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may irrevocably elect, on a subsequent Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section to a lump sum distribution payable in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on such Election Form, which Plan Year shall not be later than ten (10) years following the Participant’s Separation from Service, Retirement, Disability, or death, provided that, as and to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C): (i) no such election shall take effect until twelve months after the date on which such election was made; (ii) no such election

 

14


 

(other than an election related to a distribution payable by reason of Disability or death) shall be effective unless it defers by a period of at least five years the date on which such distribution would otherwise be made or begin; and (iii) no such election related to a distribution payable at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule (within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(iv)) may be made within twelve months of the date such distribution would otherwise be made. As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence.

 

  In the event of the Participant’s Separation from Service with five (5) years of Service, Retirement, Disability or death prior to the elected date for one or more scheduled distributions under Section 7.2, the portion of the Participant’s Account Balance associated with such distribution(s) shall be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) at the time and in the form determined under this Section 7.1.

 

  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Participant has a Separation from Service after completing five (5) years of Service, has a Retirement, incurs a Disability or dies while receiving annual installments pursuant to Section 7.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not a Separation from Service or Retirement, incurred a Disability or died.

 

  All distributions under this Section 7.1 shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Account Balances.

 

7.2

Scheduled Distributions Prior to Separation from Service . For each Plan Year’s Account Balance, a Participant may elect, on an initial Election Form filed in accordance with Section 4.1 by the time specified in Section 7.11, to receive a distribution of all or a portion of his or her Deferral Account, IR Stock Account, vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account and vested Supplemental Contribution Account with respect to a Plan Year(s) while still employed by the Company. A Participant’s election for a distribution under this Section 7.2 shall be permitted only if the date specified on the Election Form by the Participant for such distribution (in the event of a lump sum) or the commencement of such distribution (in the event of annual installments) is no earlier than two (2) years from the last day of the Plan Year for which the portion of the Deferral Account, IR Stock Account, vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account, and vested Supplemental Contribution Account to be distributed is actually deferred. At the time an election for a distribution under this Section is made, the Participant shall also elect, on the Election Form, the form of payment of the distribution. The Participant shall elect either (i) a lump sum payment to be paid

 

15


 

in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form or (ii) annual installments over two (2), three (3), four (4) or five (5) years beginning in the Plan Year specified by the Participant on the Election Form.

 

  A Participant may irrevocably elect, on a subsequent Election Form, to change the form and/or extend the timing of a distribution under this Section, provided that, as and to the extent required by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C): (i) no such election shall take effect until twelve months after the date on which such election was made; (ii) no such election shall be effective unless it defers by a period of at least five years the date on which such distribution would otherwise be made or begin; and (iii) no such election may be made within twelve months of the date such distribution would otherwise be made. As and to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C), the first day of the Plan Year in which a distribution would otherwise be made or begin (but for an election made by the Participant under this paragraph) shall be treated as the date the distribution would otherwise be made or begin for purposes of the rules set forth in the preceding sentence. The Participant shall have the right to extend the date for any distribution under this paragraph twice.

 

  All distributions under this Section 7.2 shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Deferral Account(s), IR Stock Account(s), vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account(s), and vested Supplemental Contribution Account(s), as applicable.

 

7.3 Separation from Service Prior to Completing Five (5) Years of Service . Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5, if a Participant has a Separation from Service other than by reason of Retirement, Disability or death prior to his or her completing five (5) years of Service, the vested portion of the Participant’s Account Balances, if any, shall be distributed in a lump sum in the Plan Year following the Participant’s Separation from Service. If a Participant has a Separation from Service other than by reason of Retirement, Disability or death prior to his or her completing five (5) years of Service while receiving annual installments pursuant to Section 7.2, such annual installments shall continue to be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in the same manner as if the Participant had not Separated from Service prior to completing five (5) years of Service.

 

7.4

Unforeseeable Financial Emergency Distribution . In the event that the Administrative Committee, upon written petition of the Participant on an Election Form filed with the Administrative Committee specifying the Plan Year(s) with respect to which payment shall be made, determines in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Participant has suffered an Unforeseeable Financial Emergency, the Company shall pay to the Participant (or the Participant’s Beneficiary) in a lump sum from the Participant’s Deferral Account(s), IR Stock Account(s), vested portion of the Discretionary Company Contribution Account(s) and the vested portion of the Supplemental Contribution Account(s)

 

16


 

with respect to the specified Plan Year(s), as soon as practicable following such determination, the amount necessary to satisfy such Unforeseeable Financial Emergency plus the amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of the distribution, after taking into account the extent to which the Unforeseeable Financial Emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

 

  All distributions under this Section 7.4 shall be made on a pro rata basis from the Participant’s Deferral Account(s), IR Stock Account(s), vested Discretionary Company Contribution Account(s) and vested Supplementary Contribution Account(s), as applicable.

 

7.5 Required Delay in Distributions . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no distribution shall be made to a Participant who is a “specified employee,” as determined by the Company through procedures consistent with and permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), by reason of such Participant’s Separation from Service or Retirement prior to the date that is six months after such Participant’s Separation from Service or Retirement. Any amounts that would otherwise be paid during the six-month period following such Participant’s Separation from Service or Retirement shall be paid on the first date such amount may be paid under the preceding provisions of this Section 7.5.

 

7.6 Prohibition of Accelerations. Except to the extent that the Company is permitted under Code Section 409A(a)(3) to exercise discretion to accelerate distributions under the Plan, the time or schedule of any distribution hereunder shall not be accelerated.

 

7.7 Medium of Payments. All amounts in a Participant’s Deferral Account and Discretionary Company Contribution Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in cash. All amounts in a Participant’s Supplemental Contribution Account and IR Stock Account and payable to a Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be paid in IR Stock.

 

  All distributions from the Plan that are to be paid in a specified number of annual installments shall be paid so that the amount of each annual installment is determined by dividing the total remaining number of units in the Participant’s Account Balance to be paid in annual installments by the number of years of annual installments remaining.

 

7.8 Taxes; Withholding . To the extent required by law, the Company, or the trustee of the Trust, shall withhold from payments made hereunder an amount equal to at least the minimum taxes required to be withheld by the federal or any state or local government. The amount to be withheld and the manner in which amounts shall be withheld shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Company or the trustee of the Trust.

 

17


7.9 Distribution Provisions. To the extent an agreement between the Company and a Participant contains provisions governing the form and/or timing of a distribution of a Discretionary Company Contribution made on behalf of the Participant, the distribution provisions of such agreement shall apply to the extent such provisions are not inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

 

7.10 Treatment of Installments; Date of Distribution . For purposes of Code Section 409A, any series of installment payments payable to or with respect to a single Participant shall be treated as a single payment under the Plan. Any distribution due under the Plan shall be made by the last day of the Plan Year in which such distribution, disregarding this sentence, is due under the Plan (determined after the application of Section 7.5) or such other date as may be permitted or required under Code Section 409A.

 

7.11 Timing of Initial Election Forms. Any election made on an initial Election Form (but not a subsequent Election Form) referenced in Section 7.1 or 7.2 that applies to a Deferral Amount or a Discretionary Company Contribution shall be irrevocable (except to the extent such election is subject to a subsequent election under Section 7.1 or 7.2 as permitted by Code Section 409A(a)(4)(C)) and must be made no later than the election deadline that applies under Section 4.1 to such Deferral Amount or, in the case of a Discretionary Company Contribution, December 31 of the Plan Year preceding the Plan Year in which the Participant performs the services to which such Discretionary Company Contribution relates.

 

7.12 Distribution of Certain Multi-Year Compensation. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 7, in the case of any compensation that (absent the Participant’s Deferral Election) would have been paid in a Plan Year that was specified by the Company at the time of the Participant’s Deferral Election, the Deferral Amount shall be paid (or commence to be paid) no earlier than such Plan Year. For example, if the Company awards performance-based compensation payable in the Plan Year following a three-year performance cycle, and a Participant has made a timely election to defer such compensation until the Plan Year following Separation from Service, such compensation shall be distributed in the later of the Plan Year following Separation from Service or the Plan Year following the three-year performance cycle. The Participant’s Deferral Election shall be deemed to incorporate the requirement of this Section 7.12, whether or not it expressly so provides.

 

18


SECTION 8

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

A Participant shall have the right to designate a Beneficiary(ies) to receive the Participant’s Account Balances in the event the Participant dies prior to receiving all of his or her Account Balances. A Beneficiary designation shall be made, and may be amended at any time, by the Participant by filing a written designation with the Administrative Committee, on such form and in accordance with such procedures as the Administrative Committee shall establish from time to time. A Participant may change the designated Beneficiary under the Plan at any time by providing such designation in writing to the Administrative Committee.

If a Participant fails to designate a Beneficiary(ies), or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be deemed to be the Participant’s estate. If the Company is unable to determine a Participant’s Beneficiary or if any dispute arises concerning a Participant’s Beneficiary, the Company may pay benefits to the Participant’s estate. Upon such payment, the Company shall have no further liability hereunder.

If any distribution to a Beneficiary is to be made in annual installments, and the Beneficiary dies before receiving all such installments, the remaining installments, if any, shall continue to be paid as installments to the estate of the Beneficiary.

SECTION 9

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

 

9.1 Amendment. The Plan may, at any time and from time to time, be amended without the consent of any Participant or Beneficiary, by (a) the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited or (b) the Administrative Committee in the case of amendments which do not materially modify the provisions hereof; provided, however, that no amendment shall reduce any benefits accrued under the terms of the Plan as of the date of amendment.

 

9.2 Termination of Plan

 

  a. Company’s Right to Terminate. The Board of Directors of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited may terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.

 

  b.

Payments Upon Termination. As and to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, all amounts deferred under the Plan with respect to a Participant shall be paid to the Participant, in a lump sum, upon the

 

19


 

Company’s termination and liquidation of the Plan, provided that: (1) the termination and liquidation do not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company; (2) the Company terminates and liquidates all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the Company that would be aggregated with the Plan and any other terminated and liquidated agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements under Code Section 409A if the Participant had deferrals of compensation under all the agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements that are terminated and liquidated; (3) no payments in liquidation of the Plan are made within 12 months of the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan other than payments that would be payable under the terms of the Plan if the action to terminate and liquidate the Plan had not occurred; (4) all payments are made within 24 months of the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan; and (5) the Company does not adopt a new plan that would be aggregated with the Plan or any other terminated and liquidated plan under Code Section 409A if the Participant participated in both plans, at any time within three years following the date the Company takes all necessary action irrevocably to terminate and liquidate the Plan.

SECTION 10

MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1 Unsecured General Creditor . Benefits under the Plan shall be payable by the Company out of its general funds. The Company shall have the right to establish a reserve or make any investment for the purposes of satisfying its obligations hereunder for payment of benefits at its discretion, provided, however, that no Participant or Beneficiary shall have any interest in such investment or reserve. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive benefits under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. No Participant shall have any rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company or of a member of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited under the Plan, including as a result of the crediting of units to a Participant’s IR Stock Account or Supplemental Contribution Account, except at such time as distribution is actually made from the Participant’s IR Stock Account or Supplemental Contribution Account, as applicable.

The Plan

 

20


 

and any amendment hereof shall be binding on the Company and the Participants and, their respective heirs, administrators, trustees, successors and assigns, including but not limited to, any successors of the Company by merger, consolidation or otherwise by operation of law, and on all designated Beneficiaries of the Employee.

 

10.3 Non-Assignability . To the extent permitted by law, the right of any Participant or any Beneficiary in any benefit hereunder shall not be subject to attachment, garnishment or any other legal process for the debts of such Participant or Beneficiary; nor shall any such benefit be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or encumbrance.

 

10.4 No Contract of Employment. The establishment of the Plan or any modification hereof shall not give any Participant or other person the right to remain in the service of the Company, a Participating Employer, or any subsidiaries or affiliates of a Participating Employer, and all Participants and other persons shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

 

10.5 Authorization and Source of Shares . Shares of IR Stock necessary to meet the obligations of the Plan have been reserved and authorized pursuant to resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 4, 1996, and additional shares of IR Stock shall be reserved and authorized for delivery under the Plan from time to time. These shares of IR Stock may be provided from newly-issued or treasury shares.

Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (the “Company”) hereby grants to [insert name] (“Participant”) a restricted stock unit award (the “RSUs”) with respect to [insert number of shares subject to RSUs] shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”), pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan of 2007 (the “Plan”) and to such further terms and conditions set forth below. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings in this grant document.

1. Vesting and Issuance of Shares; Dividend Equivalents .

(a) Participant’s right to receive Shares subject to the RSUs shall vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant (each anniversary being a “Vesting Date”), subject to Participant’s continued employment with the Company or an Affiliate on each such anniversary. Except as provided in Sections 1(d) and 1(e) below, no RSUs shall vest following Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code).

(b) Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any cash dividend paid by the Company upon one Share for each RSU held by Participant when such dividend is paid (“Dividend Equivalent”), provided that, (i) Participant shall have no right to receive the Dividend Equivalents unless and until the associated RSUs vest, (ii) Dividend Equivalents shall not accrue interest and (iii) Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash at the time that the associated RSUs vest.

(c) If Participant’s employment terminates involuntarily by reason of a group termination (including, but not limited to, terminations resulting from sale of a business or division, outsourcing of an entire function, reduction in workforce or closing of a facility (a “Group Termination Event”)), the number of Shares subject to the RSUs that would have vested within 12 months of Participant’s termination of active employment shall vest as of the date of termination of active service (such date also being a “Vesting Date”) and all other RSUs and associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited as of the date of termination of active employment and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such RSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

(d) If Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, the Shares subject to the RSUs shall continue to vest according to the schedule set forth in Section 1(a), notwithstanding such termination of employment.

(e) If Participant’s employment terminates after attainment of age 55 with at least 5 years of service (“Retirement”), the Shares subject to the RSUs shall continue to vest according to the schedule set forth in Section 1(a), notwithstanding such termination of employment.

(f) If Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than those specified in Sections 1(c), (d) and (e) above, all unvested RSUs and associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited as of the date of termination of active employment and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such RSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

Participant will not have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares subject to the RSUs unless and until such Shares have been issued to Participant.

2. Taxes . Regardless of any action the Company and/or an Affiliate take with respect to any and all federal, state, local or other tax related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains Participant’s responsibility. To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate with respect to Tax-Related Items, the Company will withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the RSUs. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates. Alternatively, or in addition, the Company may satisfy such withholding obligations by (a) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company or an Affiliate, (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (c) requiring Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company or an Affiliate in the amount of the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

3. Electronic Delivery and Participation . The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan by electronic means.
