INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Description of Company
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR Limited), a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (we, our or the Company) is a leading innovation and solutions provider with strong brands and leading positions within its markets. The Company operates in four business segments: Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. 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– Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented. Certain reclassifications of amounts reported in prior years have been made to conform to the 2008 classification.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

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 September 30, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows since the Acquisition Date.

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 following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the Trane assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date. The Company is in the process of finalizing the fair values of certain assets and liabilities, thus, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to refinement. The Company anticipates finalizing purchase accounting in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued compensation and benefits were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Inventories were recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors, including the future estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose of the inventory, as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The Company recorded property, plant and equipment at its preliminary estimated fair value, based on adjustments recorded in recent acquisitions of other companies with assets similar to Trane.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on their estimated fair value, and consisted of the following:

The Company has allocated $3,198.0 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 Company will have a valuation performed on property, plant and equipment and identified intangible assets in addition to pension, post employment and other liabilities. As such, the fair value recorded for the assets and liabilities could change upon the conclusion of the valuation.

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to specific assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $5,393.1 million. The premium in the purchase price paid by the Company for the acquisition of Trane reflects the establishment of $11 billion of businesses 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.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of Trane occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods presented:

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 include $19.5 million of non-recurring purchase accounting charges associated with the fair value allocation of purchase price to backlog, inventory and in-process research and development costs. The comparative amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $113.1 million.

In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company has included $81.3 million as an increase to interest expense associated with the borrowings to fund (a) the cash portion of the purchase price and (b) the out-of-pocket transaction costs associated with the acquisition. The comparative amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $146.9 million.

The unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved had the operations been combined during the periods presented, nor is it intended to be a projection of future results or trends.

As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $3,366.5 million and $169.3 million, respectively, of indefinite lived intangible assets. The increase is attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008. These assets are not subject to amortization in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” but instead, will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if certain indicators are present).

Intangible asset amortization expense was $128.9 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase is attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008, which includes $86.3 million of non-recurring amortization expense related to the fair value allocation of purchase price to backlog and in-process research and development costs. See Note 3 for a further discussion on the acquisition of Trane.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, intangible asset amortization was $178.0 million and $18.4 million, respectively. The increase is attributable to the Company’s acquisition of Trane on June 5, 2008, which includes $112.8 million of non-recurring amortization expense related to the fair value allocation of purchase price to backlog and in-process research and development costs. See Note 3 for a further discussion on the acquisition of Trane.

Estimated amortization expense on existing intangible assets is approximately $170 million for each of the next five fiscal years.

Note 8 – 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 condensed 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 participating banks. The assets of the SPE are not available to pay the claims of Trane or any of its subsidiaries.

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, which was subsequently reduced to $3.4 billion. The Company drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand as well as 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.

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.

During the second quarter, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit agreement with a three year term. This three-year credit facility will be used to support working capital, the commercial paper program and for other general corporate purposes.

In addition to the three-year credit facility, the Company has 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 were unused and provide support for other financing instruments, such as letter of credit as required in the normal course of business as well as support for the commercial paper program.

At September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding $547.9 million of 30-year fixed rate debentures which requires early repayment only 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 October 2008, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on approximately $248 million of the debentures, which will be repaid in November 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, holders of these debentures will have the option to exercise the put feature on approximately $40 million 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 $260 million of the remaining debentures.

The Company made employer contributions of $18.6 million and $18.1 million to its pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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 losses in 2007 are associated with the sale of the Road Development business unit on April 30, 2007. In addition, certain of the Company’s pension plans, primarily in the U.S., were remeasured as of the April 30, 2007 sale date and the discount rate used was increased from 5.5% to 5.75%.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company assumed obligations for pension benefits associated with the acquisition of Trane. The Company is in the process of measuring the pension plans as of the Acquisition Date. The preliminary estimates of plan assets and projected benefit obligations are $719.0 million and $773.8 million, respectively.

Note 11 – Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that cover certain eligible employees. 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.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive income is the estimated value of the Company’s currency hedges. At September 30, 2008 and 2007, the currency hedges had a projected gain of $2.1 million and a projected loss of $7.0 million, net of tax, respectively. Also included in accumulated other comprehensive income are projected losses of $22.7 million related to interest rate locks, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges. The amounts expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months for the currency hedges and interest rate locks is $2.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. The projected fair value of all currency and commodity derivatives at September 30, 2008 and 2007 was a loss of $18.1 million and a gain of $20.5 million, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company determined that four of its forecasted cash flow hedges were ineffective, as the underlying forecasted transactions were no longer considered probable of occurring. The Company dedesignated these hedges and recorded a gain of $0.3 million within “Other, net.”

As a result of the acquisition of Trane, the Company assumed a cross currency swap to lock the foreign currency cash flows on its £60.0 million 8.25% senior notes due June 1, 2009, into the U.S. dollar. At the inception of the swap, it qualified as a cash flow hedging instrument under the guidelines of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133). As such, the fair value has been deferred in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) until the time the cash flows affect earnings. At September 30, 2008, the cross currency swap had a loss of $17.3 million.

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.

Actions taken in the Climate Control Technologies sector included a rationalization of manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia that resulted in the closure of a U.S. plant, two European plants and a Japanese plant. Industrial Technologies consolidated a manufacturing process at a U.S. plant in addition to other administrative functions within the sector. Security Technologies conducted a consolidation of administrative functions throughout the European sales area. Corporate costs related to workforce reductions.


17

 
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $20.5 million accrued for the workforce reductions and consolidation of manufacturing facilities, of which a majority will be paid throughout the remainder of 2008.

In October 2008, the Company 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 with a majority of the costs expected to be incurred in 2008.

Note 14 – Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation under the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment,” which requires companies to measure all employee share-based compensation 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 8.7 million remains available for future incentive awards. The plan replaces the Incentive Stock Plan of 1998, which expired in May 2007.

Stock Options
The average fair value of the options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007 were $11.59 and $11.06, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used:

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.

The Company did not grant SARS during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and does not anticipate further granting in the future.

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.


19

 
Deferred Compensation
The Company allows 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.

Compensation Expense
Share-based compensation expense is included in Selling and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes the expenses recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30:

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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a loss of $5.1 million and a gain of $15.5 million, respectively, associated with the Swaps. The gains and losses associated with the Swaps are recorded within selling and administrative expenses.

Note 16 – 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. Total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $571.6 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. 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, Switzerland 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 principle proposed adjustment relates to the disallowance of certain capital losses. The Company disputed 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 the capital loss transaction are not related to the Company's reorganization in Bermuda, or the Company's intercompany debt structure.

21


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. Going forward, the Company intends 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.
 
Note 17Earnings 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:

Note 18 –Business Segment Information
The Company classifies its business into four reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies.

In connection with the acquisition of Trane, the Company expanded its reportable segments to include the Air Conditioning Systems and Services segment. The results of Trane’s operations are presented within this segment. The reported results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 reflect activity since the Acquisition Date (June 6, 2008 through September 30, 2008).

As a result of the divestitures of Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit during 2007, the Company realigned its operating and reporting segments to better reflect its market focus. Segment information for all periods has been revised to exclude the results of the Bobcat, Utility Equipment, Attachments and Road Development business units.

Note 19  Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is 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
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 the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, the Company spent $4.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has recorded reserves of $103.4 million and $101.8 million, respectively, for environmental matters. The Company believes that these expenditures 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) and Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain current and historical products sold by IR-New Jersey and 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.

24

 
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;
 
25


 
·
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. 
 
26


Trane has now settled with a substantial number of its insurers, collectively accounting for approximately 75% of its recorded asbestos-related liability insurance receivable as at September 30, 2008.  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.  Trane remains in settlement negotiations with the insurer defendants in the NJ Litigation not encompassed within the August 26 Agreement or Everest Re Agreement.  Once concluded, we believe NJ Litigation will resolve coverage issues with respect to approximately 96% 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, 2007, the Company has resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 208,000 claims. The total amount of all settlements paid by the Company (excluding insurance recoveries) and by its insurance carriers is approximately $308 million, for an average payment per resolved claim of $1,480. The average payment per claim resolved during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $7,491. 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, 2007, Trane has resolved 61,002 (by settlement or dismissal) claims. Trane and its insurance carriers have paid settlements of approximately $109.0 million, which represents an average payment per resolved claim of $1,786. During 2007, 3,019 new claims were filed against Trane, 1,826 claims were dismissed and 740 claims were settled. At December 31, 2007, there were 105,023 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2008, the Company's liability for asbestos related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries totaled $1,210.7 million and $439.3 million, respectively, compared to $754.9 million and $249.8 million at December 31, 2007.

Note 20 – Fair Value Measurement
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.  

29


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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2008 are as follows:

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.

30


 
·
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,” (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 September 30, 2008, the Company has not elected to utilize the fair value option on any of its financial assets or liabilities.

Note 21 – 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 September 30, 2008, $2.1 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.

31


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 (see Note 9, Debt and Credit Facilities, for further details on the public debt issuance). 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 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.

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.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

INGERSOLL-RAND COMPANY LIMITED
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 Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. 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 Quarterly Report.

Overview

Organizational
Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR Limited), a Bermuda company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (we, our or the Company) is a leading innovation and solutions provider with strong brands and leading positions within our markets. We operate in four business segments: Air Conditioning Systems and Services, Climate Control Technologies, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies. 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

 
·
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 have transformed our enterprise portfolio by divesting cyclical, low-growth and asset-intensive businesses, in addition to strategic acquisitions that enhance and broaden our value proposition to our customers. 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. Although 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, we have seen a general decrease in economic activity worldwide and weaker demand for many of our products and services, as discussed further below.

39


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.

Our revenues from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2008 increased 48.4% compared with the same period in 2007, primarily associated with the Trane acquisition. Excluding the results of Trane, our revenues from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2008 increased approximately 5.7% compared with the same period of 2007, despite an increasingly challenging economic environment.

The recent extreme volatility and disruption of financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia have contributed to weakening worldwide economic conditions. In addition, the uncertainty related to the cost and availability of credit has further depressed the overall business climate. As a result, many of our end markets have experienced overall softening in demand. Consequently, we expect to see declining markets in North America and Western Europe, partially offset by moderate growth in the developing economies of Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. 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.

Recent Developments
Restructuring Actions
In order to deal with the current and expected future slowing end market demand as well as build a strong business foundation for the future, we have implemented productivity actions in 2008. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2008, we expect to initiate enterprise-wide restructuring actions in order to streamline both our manufacturing footprint and our general and administrative cost base. Projected costs will approximate $110 million with a majority of these costs expected to be expensed in 2008. Together, these combined actions are expected to generate approximately $100 million of annual pretax savings in both 2009 and 2010.

Acquisitions
At the close of business on June 5, 2008 (the Acquisition Date), we completed our previously announced 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 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.

40


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.

The components of the purchase price were as follows:

As a result of the acquisition, the results of the operations of Trane have been included in the statement of financial position at September 30, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows since the Acquisition Date. For further details on the acquisition of Trane, see Footnote 3, Acquisition of Trane, Inc, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Divestitures
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. We recorded a gain on sale of $2,629.0 million (net of tax of $959.2 million). Compact Equipment manufactures and sells 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.

On April 30, 2007, we completed the sale of our Road Development business unit to AB Volvo (publ) in all countries except for India, which closed on May 4, 2007, for cash proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. We recorded a gain on sale of $633.1 million (net of tax of $163.3 million). The Road Development business unit manufactures and sells asphalt paving equipment, compaction equipment, milling machines and construction-related material handling equipment.

The acquisition of Trane increased revenues $2,051.1 million. Excluding the results of Trane, revenues increased by 1.0%, or $23.1 million. Softening overall demand in many major end markets was the primary driver of the quarter’s results. Excluding currency exchange rates, organic revenues declined. However, we continue to make progress in increasing recurring revenues, which improved by 9% over the third quarter of 2007 and accounted for 20% of net revenues.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased in the third quarter of 2008 to 74.4% compared with 71.8% for the same period of 2007. Excluding the results of Trane, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue would have been 72.3%. 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.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 17.5% in the third quarter of 2008 compared with 15.9% for the same period of 2007. Excluding the results of Trane, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue would have been 16.3%. Decreased leverage due to lower volumes more than offset expense reduction and price increases. In addition, Trane integration costs added to the year-over-year increase.
 
Operating Income
Operating income for the third quarter of 2008 increased by 25.7% or $71.1 million, compared with the same period of 2007, primarily related to the acquisition of Trane. Excluding the results of Trane, operating income decreased by $18.4 million (6.7%), and operating margins decreased to 11.4% from 12.3%. This decrease was mainly due to lower volumes, increased material costs and unfavorable business and product mix. These decreases were partially offset by productivity actions and improved pricing.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2008 increased $50.4 million compared with the same period of 2007, primarily related to higher average debt balances used to fund the acquisition of Trane.

Provision for Income Taxes
Our third quarter 2008 effective tax rate was 10.1%, compared with 16.1% in the third quarter of 2007.  The rate for the third quarter of 2008 reflects an expected annual rate of 20.6% before discrete benefits of $12.7 million.  The increase in 2008 expected annual tax rate versus last year’s expected annual rate as of September 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to an increase in income earned in higher tax rate jurisdictions as a result of changes in our inter-company debt structure.

The acquisition of Trane increased revenues by $2,749.0 million. Excluding the results of Trane, revenues increased by 5.7%, or $368.5 million. Softening overall demand in many major end markets was the primary driver of the modest year-over-year growth. Excluding currency exchange rates, organic revenues increased modestly. However, we continue to make progress in increasing recurring revenues, which improved by 10% over the first nine months of 2007 and accounted for 19% of net revenues.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased to 72.7% in the first nine months of 2008 compared with 71.6% the same period of 2007. Excluding the results of Trane, cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue would have been 71.6%. 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.

Decreased leverage due to lower volumes more than offset expense reduction and price increases. In addition, Trane integration costs added to the year-over-year increase.

Operating Income
Operating income for the first nine months of 2008 increased by 26.0% or $197.0 million, compared with the same period of 2007, primarily related to the acquisition of Trane. Excluding the results of Trane, operating income increased by $41.4 million (5.5%) and operating margins remained flat at 11.8%. Lower volumes, higher commodity costs and an unfavorable business and product mix were offset by expense reduction, productivity actions and improved pricing. Trane integration costs also contributed to flat year-over-year growth.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the first nine months of 2008 increased $56.6 million compared with the same period of 2007, primarily related to higher average debt balances used to fund the acquisition of Trane.

The nine months ended September 30, 2008 include results since the Acquisition Date (June 5, 2008). 

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 includes $149.9 million of costs related to purchase accounting. We expect $41.5 million of these costs to be an incremental expense in future periods as they primarily relate to the amortization of certain intangible assets that were fair valued at the Acquisition Date. In addition, we recorded $13.3 million of severance and other business integration costs associated with the acquisition. Operating income was $89.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Excluding non-recurring items, operating income would have been $197.9 million, increasing the operating margin to 9.6%.

Reported results for revenues and operating income for the three months and 25 days ended September 30, 2008 reflect year-to-date activity since the Acquisition Date (June 6, 2008 through September 30, 2008). Included in operating income is $194.9 million of costs related to purchase accounting. The Company expects $51.1 million of these costs to be an incremental expense in future periods as they primarily relate to the amortization of certain intangible assets that were fair valued as of the Acquisition Date. In addition, the Company recorded $23.6 million of severance and other business integration costs associated with the acquisition. Operating income was $155.6 million for the three months and 25 days ended September 30, 2008. Excluding non-recurring items, operating income would have been $299.4 million, increasing the operating margin to 10.9%.

Commercial results were balanced due to growth in both domestic and international markets. Parts, services and solutions improvements were primary drivers, in addition to Commercial Equipment. Residential results were impacted by continued weakness in the U.S. housing market.

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2008 increased by 1.5% or $12.9 million, compared with the same period of 2007, primarily resulting from a favorable currency impact (4%) and improved pricing (1%). These gains were partially offset by lower volumes (3%). Operating income increased slightly during the third quarter of 2008, primarily due to improved pricing ($11 million), increased productivity ($9 million) and a favorable currency impact. These improvements were offset by higher material costs ($17 million) and lower volumes.

Net revenues for the first nine months of 2008 increased by 6.0% or $148.3 million, compared with the same period of 2007, primarily resulting from a favorable currency impact (5%) and improved pricing (1%). Operating income increased during the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to increased productivity ($42 million), improved pricing ($32 million) and a favorable currency impact ($11 million). These improvements were partially offset by higher material costs ($33 million), lower volumes ($14 million) and investments in new product development and productivity improvements ($9 million).

Net revenues for the segment increased slightly during the third quarter of 2008. Display cases and contracting revenue increased worldwide as a result of an improved market for display cases and growing parts and service revenues. In addition, sales of the TriPac® auxiliary unit increased sharply during the quarter due to the continued high cost of diesel fuel. The decline in the heavy truck market decreased refrigerated trailer and truck revenues in North America and Asia Pacific. Sea-going container revenues also decreased while bus and aftermarket revenues remained comparable to the prior year.

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2008 increased by 2.4%, or $16.8 million, compared with the same period of 2007, mainly resulting from a favorable currency impact (2%), improved pricing (2%) and acquisitions (2%) partially offset by lower volumes (4%). Operating income decreased during the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to higher material costs ($19 million) and lower volumes ($16 million). These costs were partially offset by improved pricing ($16 million) and increased productivity ($15 million).
 
Net revenues for the first nine months of 2008 increased by 7.0%, or $148.7 million, compared with the same period of 2007, mainly resulting from a favorable currency impact (3%), improved pricing (2%) and acquisitions (2%). Operating income decreased during the first nine months of 2008 primarily due to higher material costs ($50 million) and lower volumes ($15 million). These improvements were partially offset by improved pricing ($47 million) and increased productivity.

The increase in segment revenue was driven by the worldwide increase in the Air and Productivity Solutions business. Stable industrial and process markets in Europe, Asia and India in addition to aftermarket growth helped to mitigate a weakening North American market where higher recurring revenues were offset by lower equipment volumes. Club Car revenues declined compared with the third quarter of 2007 mainly due to the ongoing decline in the North American golf market and a softening utility vehicle market. The decline was partially offset by overall market share gains.

Net revenues for the third quarter of 2008 decreased by 1%, or $6.6 million, compared with the same period of 2007, mainly resulting from lower volumes (7%) partially offset by improved pricing (5%) and a favorable currency impact (1%). Operating income increased during the third quarter of 2008 primarily due to improved pricing ($34 million) and productivity gains ($9 million), partially offset by unfavorable product mix ($16 million).

Net revenues for the first nine months of 2008 increased by 3.8%, or $71.5 million, compared with the same period of 2007, mainly resulting from improved pricing (5%) and a favorable currency impact (3%) partially offset by lower volumes. Operating income increased during the first nine months of 2008, primarily due to improved pricing ($87 million) and productivity gains ($36 million), partially offset by unfavorable product mix ($47 million) and increased material costs ($12 million).

Net revenues decreased during the quarter driven by lower residential volume in North America. Lower same store sales at large customers as well as ongoing weakness in the new homebuilder channel were partially offset by revenue growth in Latin America. Slight growth in the North American commercial construction market in addition to moderate growth in Europe helped revenues remain consistent with prior year amounts despite a slight decline in Asia Pacific.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generate significant cash flow from operating activities. We believe that we will be able to meet our current and long-term liquidity and capital requirements through our cash flow from operating activities, existing cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under existing credit facilities and our ability to obtain future external financing.

Cash Flows
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, respectively. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $1.3 million, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $465.4 million during the comparable period in 2007. The change in operating cash flows is predominantly related to a tax payment of approximately $700 million in the first quarter of 2008 paid to various taxing authorities primarily associated with the Compact Equipment divestiture. In addition, cash flows from operating activities includes Trane cash flows from operations since June 5, 2008.

Investing Activities
Net cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $7,211.1 million, compared with $1,218.1 million of net cash provided by investing activities during the comparable period of 2007. The change in investing activities is primarily attributable to cash used for the acquisition of Trane in 2008. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash proceeds of $1,291.7 million was received related to the sale of the Road Development business unit.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,202.8 million, compared with $1,558.7 million of net cash used in financing activities during the comparable period in 2007. The change in financing activities primarily relates to the outstanding balance of both the bridge loan facility and commercial paper used to finance the acquisition of Trane in addition to the net proceeds from our long-term debt issuance.

The large cash and cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2007 is attributable to the sale of both Compact Equipment and the Road Development business unit during 2007, which generated proceeds of $6,154.3 million. The reduction at September 30, 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, which was subsequently reduced to $3.4 billion. We drew down $2.95 billion against the bridge loan facility in June 2008. The proceeds, along with cash on hand as well as 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 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. 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. The net proceeds from the offering were used to partially 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. As of September 30, 2008, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

During the third quarter, we repaid $2.0 billion of the outstanding balance of the bridge loan facility. 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.

52


During the second quarter, we entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a three-year term. This three-year credit facility will be used to support working capital, the commercial paper program and 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 other financing instruments, such as letter of credit as required in the normal course of business as well as support for the commercial paper program.

At September 30, 2008, we had outstanding $547.9 million of 30-year fixed rate debentures which requires early repayment only 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 October 2008, holders of these debentures chose to exercise the put feature on approximately $248 million of the debentures, which will be repaid in November 2008. In the first quarter of 2009, holders of these debentures will have the option to exercise the put feature on approximately $40 million 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 $260 million of the remaining debentures.

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, increases in interest rates and inflation. These factors increase costs associated with issuing commercial paper or other debt instruments and may affect our ability to access these markets. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents balance, cash generated by our operations, in addition to our access to external sources of funds as described above will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Pensions
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 the present value of our required contributions, at the appropriate levels of risk; and to meet any statutory requirements, laws and local regulatory agencies’ requirements. 

As a result of current market environment, we expect negative returns in our pension plans during 2008. Consequently, this will increase pension expense in 2009 and potentially require future cash contributions to our pension plan.  However, none of our pension plans have experienced any significant impact on liquidity due to the volatility in the markets. We are monitoring the impact of the market conditions on our pension expense and funding requirements in 2009. We will disclose the impacts on 2009 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we expect to file with the SEC in February 2009.

For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.

53


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 the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, we spent $4.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively, for environmental remediation expenditures at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we have recorded reserves of $103.4 million and $101.8 million, respectively, for environmental matters. We believe that these expenditures 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) and Trane and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain current and historical products sold by IR-New Jersey and 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.

54


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.

55


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. 

56


Trane has now settled with a substantial number of its insurers, collectively accounting for approximately 75% of its recorded asbestos-related liability insurance receivable as at September 30, 2008.  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.  Trane remains in settlement negotiations with the insurer defendants in the NJ Litigation not encompassed within the August 26 Agreement or Everest Re Agreement.  Once concluded, we believe NJ Litigation will resolve coverage issues with respect to approximately 96% 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, 2007, the Company has resolved (by settlement or dismissal) approximately 208,000 claims. The total amount of all settlements paid by the Company (excluding insurance recoveries) and by its insurance carriers is approximately $308 million, for an average payment per resolved claim of $1,480. The average payment per claim resolved during the year ended December 31, 2007 was $7,491. 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. The table below provides additional information regarding asbestos-related claims filed against the Company:

From receipt of the first asbestos claim more than twenty years ago through December 31, 2007, Trane has resolved 61,002 (by settlement or dismissal) claims. Trane and its insurance carriers have paid settlements of approximately $109.0 million, which represents an average payment per resolved claim of $1,786. During 2007, 3,019 new claims were filed against Trane, 1,826 claims were dismissed and 740 claims were settled. At December 31, 2007, there were 105,023 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2008, our liability for asbestos related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries totaled $1,210.7 million and $439.3 million, respectively, compared to $754.9 million and $249.8 million at December 31, 2007.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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 net periodic benefit cost. At December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 158 for its postretirement and pension plans. The adoption of SFAS 158 resulted in a decrease of Total assets of $476.0 million and Shareholders’ equity of $472.8 million (net of tax of $268.2 million) and an increase of Total liabilities of $265.0 million.

59


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 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
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 17, Fair Value Measurements to the condensed 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 and did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
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.

60

 
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.
 
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.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162) and SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB No. 60” (SFAS 163). 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). SFAS 163 clarifies practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”. The Company does not believe these pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

61


Undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements as they speak only as of the date made. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our periodic filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the third quarter of 2008. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 4 - 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2008, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. 

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company is 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 the opinion of the Company, 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 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 with the DOJ. Under both settlements, the Company will 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.

62


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. Such transactions have previously been reported to the SEC and DOJ, and the Company will continue to cooperate fully with the Italian authorities in this matter.

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 (the “Indemnification Agreement”), American Standard Europe BVBA (renamed WABCO Europe BVBA) (“ASE”), 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. ASE and other former Trane subsidiaries participated in the hearing. Trane, however, did not participate in the hearing.

63


In 2006, the European Commission adopted new fining guidelines (the “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 2008, the total liability 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 ASE, as the leniency applicant, fulfilled all conditions set forth in the European Commission’s leniency notice. The Company is confident in ASE’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement because WABCO’s capital structure includes sufficient funds available under its existing credit facilities and only a minimal amount of debt at December 31, 2007.

Item 1A – Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007, except as discussed below. For a further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.

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 debt 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, including under our revolving credit agreements.

Finally, many of our customers rely on credit financing in order to purchase our products. If the tightening of credit in financial markets adversely affects the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases, this could result in a 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.

Amounts recorded for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets could be adversely impacted by current market conditions.

As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year in accordance with FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (SFAS 142). Under SFAS 142, the impairment test is based on the current fair market value of the reporting units for goodwill and the current fair market value of the individual indefinite-lived intangible asset. Fair market valuation requires assumptions and estimates of many critical factors, including revenue and market growth, operating cash flows, market multiples and discount rates. As general market conditions have deteriorated, the Company could experience a decline in the fair market value of reporting units and intangible assets. This decline could adversely affect the results of the impairment testing that will be performed in the fourth quarter and could potentially lead to a future impairment charge.

We may not realize the expected financial benefits from the acquisition of Trane Inc. and from recently announced restructuring actions.

On June 5, 2008, we completed our acquisition of Trane Inc. (“Trane”). Achieving the expected benefits of this acquisition will require us to increase the revenue growth rate of Trane, retain key employees of Trane and realize certain anticipated cost savings. Additionally, we announced further restructuring actions to deal with slowing end market demand. 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.

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

On November 10, 2004, the 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 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.”

65


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 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.

Legislation regarding U.S. companies which reincorporate 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.

For instance, the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and later amended, included a provision that prohibits “inverted domestic corporations” and their subsidiaries from entering into contracts with the Department of Homeland Security under the Homeland Security Act. More recently, the 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (“the 2008 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”). We may be deemed to be an inverted domestic corporation. Therefore, the federal government may be prohibited from making payments to us for work done under Affected Contracts. Consequently, we and our subsidiaries, including our recently acquired Trane subsidiaries, may not be paid for work performed pursuant to Affected Contracts while remaining contractually obligated to perform under those 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, legislation similar to the 2008 Act may be enacted for fiscal years beyond 2008.

In addition, the State of California adopted legislation intended to limit the eligibility of certain Bermuda and other non-U.S. chartered companies to participate in certain state contracts and the State of North Carolina enacted a bill that provides a preference for North Carolina or U.S. products and services.

Generally, these types of legislation relate to direct sales to federal and state government agencies, while some of our businesses typically sell products to third-party suppliers. However, we are unable to predict with any level of certainty either the likelihood of additional legislation or the nature of regulations that may be promulgated thereunder, or the impact such enactments and increased regulatory scrutiny may have on our business. If applicable to us, legislation of the type described in this risk factor may impact our future ability to obtain and perform under certain government contracts. Violations may give rise to civil or criminal penalties.

66


We cannot provide any assurance that the impact on us of any adopted or proposed legislation in this area will not be materially adverse to our operations.

We are relying on an indemnification agreement with respect to any potential liability arising from an 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 the Company’s 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 (the “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 in 2008 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). We are confident in WABCO Europe’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the Indemnification Agreement because WABCO’s capital structure includes sufficient funds available under its existing credit facilities and only a minimal amount of debt as of December 31, 2007. However, 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.

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 transaction.
 
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 Holdings Inc (“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.

67


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 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.

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.

Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Waiver of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee for such Securities, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 117.
Judgment Currency; Consent to Jurisdiction and Service.
 
(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or interest on the Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee for such Securities could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency at 10:00 A.M. New York City time, or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures such Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency at 10:00 A.M. New York City time, or as close to such time as is reasonably practicable, on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with this Subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.
 
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, New York in any suit, action or proceeding based on or arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Securities or any Guarantee and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined in any such court. Each of the Company and the Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, and may be enforced in the courts of Bermuda (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided, that service of process is effected upon the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, in the manner specified herein or as otherwise permitted by law. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Ingersoll-Rand Company, 155 Chestnut Ridge Road, Montvale, New Jersey 07645 (the “Process Agent”) as their authorized agent for purposes of this Section 117(b), it being understood that the designation and appointment of the Process Agent as such authorized agent shall become effective immediately without any further action on the part of the Company or the Guarantor. Each of the Company and the Guarantor further agrees that service of process upon the Process Agent and written notice of said service to the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, mailed by prepaid registered first class mail or delivered to the Process Agent at its principal office, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, in any such suit or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be necessary, to continue such designation and appointment of the Process Agent in full force and effect so long as the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, has any outstanding obligations under this Indenture. To the extent the Company and/or the Guarantor, as applicable, has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture to the extent permitted by law.

[In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]
 
The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem this Security in full as described above, the Indenture provides that each Holder of the Securities of this series will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities of this series 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 of this series on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
 
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of the Securities of this series, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice will state, among other things, the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, will state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
 
Holders electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Securities, with the form below entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” 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.

3.
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this series properly accepted for purchase, together with an officer’s certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series (or portions of Securities of this series) being purchased.

22


The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Securities the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof.
 
The Company will 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 for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all properly tendered Securities of this series not withdrawn under its offer.
 
The Company will 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 of this series 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 of this series, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflict.
 
For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities, the following terms will be applicable:
 
“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities of this series cease to be rated Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies on any date during the Trigger Period.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

2.
the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Guarantor, or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of the Guarantor is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;

23


 
3.
the first day on which the majority of the members of the board of directors of the Guarantor cease to be Continuing Directors;
 
 
4.
IR Limited consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, IR Limited, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of IR Limited or such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of IR Limited outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;
 
 
5.
the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of IR Limited; or
 
 
6.
the failure of IR Limited to own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Voting Stock of the Company.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) the Guarantor becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Voting Stock of the Guarantor immediately prior to that transaction.

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 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.

35


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:

39


(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 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. Thereupon such Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by such Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. Such Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such series at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
 
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by such Trustee.
 
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
 
SECTION 308.
Persons Deemed Owners.
 
Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee for such Security and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or such Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantor, such Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or such Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

40


Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee for such Security, or any agent of any of the foregoing, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.
 
SECTION 309.
Cancellation.
 
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any person other than the Trustee for such Securities, be delivered to such Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company or the Guarantor may at any time deliver to such Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by such Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by such Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with such Trustee’s customary practices.
 
SECTION 310.
Computation of Interest.
 
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any particular series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.
 
SECTION 311.
CUSIP Numbers.
 
The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee for such Securities shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders of such Securities; provided, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

This provision shall not authorize the sale by such Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

43

SECTION 502.
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
 
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee for the Securities of such series or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to such Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. 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:
 
(1) the Company or the Guarantor has paid or deposited with such Trustee a sum sufficient to pay,
 
(A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of that series,
 
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities, of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
 
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and
 
(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.
 
For all purposes under this Indenture, if a portion of the principal of any Original Issue Discount Securities shall have been accelerated and declared due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, then, from and after such declaration, unless such declaration has been rescinded and annulled, the principal amount of such Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, and payment of such portion of the principal thereof as shall be due and payable as a result of such acceleration, together with interest, if any, thereon and all other amounts owing thereunder, shall constitute payment in full of such Original Issue Discount Securities.

48


SECTION 503.
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
 
The Company covenants that if:
 
(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or
 
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof,
 
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.
 
SECTION 504.
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
 
In any case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company, the Guarantor or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee for the Securities of such series (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company or the Guarantor for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

49


(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders of such Securities allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of such Securities to make such payments to such Trustee and, in the event that such Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to such Holders, to pay to such Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Trustee under Section 607.
 
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.
 
SECTION 505.
Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
 
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee for any series of Securities without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by such Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
 
SECTION 506.
Application of Money Collected.

SECTION 507.
Limitation on Suits.
 
No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to such Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series,
 
it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

51


SECTION 508.
Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.
 
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 510.
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
 
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.

(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.
 
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
SECTION 514.
Undertaking for Costs.
 
All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for the Securities of any series for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee for the Securities of any series, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for the Securities of any series, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
 
(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series for which the Trustee is serving as such:
 
(1) such Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against such Trustee; and
 
(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, such Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to such Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to such Trustee, such Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
 
(b) In case an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee for the Securities of such series shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.
 
(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee for the Securities of any series from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:
 
(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this Section;
 
(2) such Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that such Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

54


(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee for any series of Securities to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
 
(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee for any series of Securities shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
 
SECTION 602.

May Hold Securities.
 
The Trustee for any series of Securities, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Calculation Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, the Guarantor or such Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company or the Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not such Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

The Company agrees:
 
(1) to pay to the Trustee for any series of Securities from time to time such compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder as shall be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Company and such Trustee (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
 
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee for any series of Securities upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by such Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

When the Trustee for any series of Securities incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

SECTION 609.
Corporate Trustee Required; Different Trustees for Different Series; Eligibility.
 
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder for each series of Securities which shall be a corporation or bank organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, 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 $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation or bank publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining 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 such Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
 
A different Trustee may be appointed by the Company for each series of Securities prior to the issuance of such Securities. If the initial Trustee for any series of Securities is to be other than Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the Company and such Trustee shall, prior to the issuance of such Securities, execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto, which shall provide for the appointment of such Trustee as Trustee for the Securities of such series and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees to be co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

58


No trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder.
 
SECTION 610.
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
 
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee for the Securities of any series and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611.
 
(b) The Trustee for the Securities of any series may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of such series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
 
(c) The Trustee for the Securities of any series may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of such series by Act of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to such Trustee and to the Company.
 
(d) If at any time:
 
(1) the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request thereof by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months; or
 
(2) such Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or
 
(3) such Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of such Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of such Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
 
then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove such Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series within 30 days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series

59


(e) If the Trustee for the Securities of any series shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for the Securities of any series for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series shall not have been appointed by the Company pursuant to this Section 610, then a successor Trustee may be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. If no successor Trustee for the Securities of such series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, and if such Trustee to be replaced is still incapable of acting, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
 
(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of that series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
 
SECTION 611.
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
 
(a) Every such successor Trustee appointed hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantor and the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company, the Guarantor or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon receipt of payment of its charges, execute, and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

60


(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantor, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
 
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers, and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
 
(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee for the Securities of any series shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.
 
SECTION 612.
Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
 
Any corporation into which the Trustee for the Securities of any series may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of such Trustee, shall be the successor of such Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent for such series then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee or successor Authenticating Agent had itself authenticated such Securities.

61


SECTION 613.
Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company or the Guarantor.
 
If and when the Trustee of any series of Securities shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor (or any other obligor upon the Securities), such Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).
 
SECTION 614.
Authenticating Agents.
 
From time to time the Trustee of any series of Securities, in its sole discretion, may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with respect to the Securities of such series, which may include the Company, the Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor, with power to act on the Trustee’s behalf and subject to its discretion in the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series or in connection with transfers and exchanges under Sections 304, 305, 306 and 1107 as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized by those Sections of this Indenture to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series. 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 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.

provided, however, that any Mortgage permitted by any of the foregoing Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (5) of this Section 1004(a) shall not extend to or cover any property of the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such Clauses and improvements thereto.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 1004, the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may create, assume or guarantee secured indebtedness for money borrowed which would otherwise be prohibited in said Subsection (a) in an aggregate amount which, together with all other such indebtedness for money borrowed of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the Attributable Debt of the Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined in Section 1005) existing at such time (other than Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into prior to the date of this Indenture and Sale and Leaseback Transactions the proceeds of which have been applied in accordance with Clause (b) of Section 1005), does not at the time exceed 10% of the shareholders’ equity in the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries, as shown on the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to shareholders of the Guarantor.

(1) the term “Attributable Debt” shall mean, as of any particular time, the then present value of the total net amount of rent required to be paid under such lease during the remaining term thereof (excluding any renewal term unless the renewal is at the option of the lessor) computed by discounting from the respective due dates to such date such total net amount of rent at the actual interest factor included in such rent, or, if such interest factor cannot readily be determined, at the rate per annum borne by the initial series of Securities, except that if no interest is payable in respect of the initial series of Securities or if such rate is not fixed then at the rate of 8⅜% per annum. The net amount of rent required to be paid for any such period shall be the aggregate amount of the rent payable by the lessee with respect to such period after excluding amounts required to be paid on account of, or measured or determined by, any variable factor, including, without limitation, the cost-of-living index and costs of maintenance and repairs, insurance, taxes, assessments, water rates and similar charges and after excluding any portion of rentals based on a percentage of sales made by the lessee. In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee upon the payment of a penalty, such net amount shall also include the amount of such penalty, but no rent shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated;

76


(2) the term “shareholders’ equity in the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries” shall mean the share capital, share premium, contributed surplus and retained earnings of the Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries, excluding the cost of shares of the Guarantor held by its Affiliates, all as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; and

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities of that series to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as such Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

80


Securities shall be excluded from eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of such series at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by either (a) the Company or the Guarantor or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement which is an Affiliate of the Company or the Guarantor.

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.
 
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.
 
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.

82


Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall be required to send, by first class mail, a notice to each Holder of Securities, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:
 
(i)(a) if mailed following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder of Securities has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of Securities of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), or (b) if mailed prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of a pending Change of Control, that a Change of Control is pending and, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, such Holder of Securities has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of Securities of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) and that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date (as defined below);

(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;

(iii) the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and

(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.

83


On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
 
 
1.
accept for payment all Securities (or portions of Securities) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
 
 
2.
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate payment in respect of all Securities (or portions of Securities) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and
 
 
3.
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted for purchase, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities (or portions of Securities) being purchased.
 
The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Securities the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided, that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof. 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.
 
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.
 
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.

84


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 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 60th 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.

85


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 60th 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.
 
ARTICLE THIRTEEN

SECTION 1301.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security of each series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for such Securities hereunder and to such Trustee for itself and on behalf of each such Holder, the due and punctual payment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and all other amounts owed under this Indenture, according to the terms thereof and of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company promptly to make any such payment of principal (and premium, if any, on) or interest, the Guarantor hereby agrees to make any such payment to be made promptly when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Company.

(b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety, and shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by any failure to enforce the provisions of such Security or this Indenture, or any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee for the Securities of such series or any other circumstance which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Guarantor increase the principal amount of such Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof, or increase the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration or the maturity thereof pursuant to Article Five of this Indenture. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund or analogous payment required under such Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on such Security or as otherwise set forth in this Indenture; provided, that if any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.
 
(c) The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of such Security and the Trustee for the Securities of such series against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon such right of subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest on all Securities of the same series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.
 
SECTION 1302.
Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
 
The Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities of each series shall include the terms of the Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 and any other terms that may be set forth in the form established pursuant to Section 206 with respect to such series. The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee, in a form established pursuant to Section 206, to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee for the Securities of such series.
 
The Guarantee shall be executed in accordance with Section 303. The delivery of any Security by the Trustee for the Securities of such series, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed thereon on behalf of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 1301 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security.
 
SECTION 1303.
Notice to Trustee.
 
The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee for the Securities of such series of any fact known to the Guarantor which prohibits the making of any payment to or by such Trustee in respect of the Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of this Article Thirteen other than any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

87


SECTION 1304.
This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.
 
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest on the Securities by reason of any provision of this Article will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.
 
SECTION 1305.
Amendment, Etc.
 
No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to the Guarantor or consent to any departure by the Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective unless it is signed by the Guarantor and the Trustee for the Securities of such series.
 
SECTION 1306.
Limitation on Liability.
 
With respect to the Guarantor, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder will be limited to the maximum amount, as will not result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, after giving effect to all other relevant liabilities of the Guarantor.
