Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Banks and the Issuing Bank have agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS the Borrowers have requested that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS the undersigned Banks are willing to amend such provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments. (a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following terms in proper alphabetical order:

“Amendment No. 1” means Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 2, 2009, to this Agreement.

“Amendment No. 1 Effective Date” means the date on which Amendment No. 1 shall have become effective in accordance with its terms.

“Loan Party” means each Borrower, each Additional Borrower and any Guarantor.

“Subsequent Parent Company” has the meaning assigned to such term in the definition of the term “IR Parent” in this Section 1.1.

(b) The definition of the term “Guarantors” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Guarantors” means, collectively, (a) with respect to the Obligations of IR Parent and any Additional Borrower, IR Global, (b) with respect to the Obligations of IR Global and any Additional Borrowers, IR Parent, (c) any other Person (except IR) that guarantees IR Parent’s (or any of its assignee’s) outstanding Public Debt or IR Parent’s indebtedness under the 2004 5-Year Existing Credit Agreement or 2005 5-year Existing Credit Agreement and (d) any other Person (except IR Global and IR) that guarantees any other Public Debt of IR Global; and “Guarantor” means any one of them.


(c) The definition of the term “IR Parent” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“IR Parent” shall mean, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except as the context may otherwise require, (x) until such time as a Subsequent Parent Company shall become a party hereto, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited or (y) the Subsequent Parent Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Subsequent Parent Company” shall be the Person that becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of, or otherwise merges, amalgamates or consolidates with, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (or, if applicable, the existing Subsequent Parent Company) in a transaction where the direct or indirect holders of the capital stock of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (or, if applicable, the existing Subsequent Parent Company) that are entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of such capital stock immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, so long as such Person (1) executes and delivers a copy of this Agreement (whereupon such Person shall become a party to this Agreement with the same force and effect as if such Person had executed this Agreement as “IR Parent” on the Effective Date), (2) becomes a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Section 9.16(j) hereof and (3) is organized under the laws of Bermuda, Ireland, the United States of America (or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) or any other jurisdiction that is, after consultation with the Banks, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, upon the consummation of such transaction and compliance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (1), (2) and (3), the existing Subsequent Parent Company shall no longer be “IR Parent” for purposes of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after such time as a Subsequent Parent Company shall become a party hereto, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited and each Person that, prior to such time, was the Subsequent Parent Company shall continue to be bound by the covenants set forth in Sections 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 as if it were IR Parent.

(d) The definition of the term “Ratings” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the text “IR Parent’s” in such definition with the text “IR Global’s”.

(m) Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Neither Borrower will (i) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into any other Person, unless (A) the company surviving such consolidation, amalgamation or merger is either IR Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of IR Parent and (B) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless (A) the applicable purchaser, lessee or transferee is either IR Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of IR Parent (including, without limitation, through a liquidation, dissolution, liquidating distribution or equivalent transaction under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction), (B) immediately after giving effect to such transfer, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (C) except in the case of any such transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of IR Global (which transactions shall be subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.7), such

 

3


purchaser, lessee or transferee explicitly agrees to be bound by the terms of Section 5.6 and this Section 5.7 as if it were a Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any transaction permitted by this Section 5.7 whereby IR Global is not the surviving company of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation (in the case of a transaction permitted by clause (i) of this Section 5.7) or is the transferor (in the case of a transaction permitted by clause (ii) of this Section 5.7), then the entity that is the surviving company or the transferee, as the case may be, shall (x) affirmatively agree, in a writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and assume the obligations hereunder of IR Global (and shall thereafter be deemed to be IR Global for purposes of this Agreement) and (y) be organized and exist under the law of Bermuda, Ireland, the United States of America (or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) or any other jurisdiction that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to any such other jurisdiction, (A) the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify each Bank) shall have received reasonable advance notice (which, in any event, shall be at least 20 Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such change in the jurisdiction of organization) from such Borrower of the proposed merger, amalgamation, consolidation or transfer and the resulting change in the jurisdiction of organization of such Borrower to such other jurisdiction, (B) neither Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank that it and its Affiliates are prohibited from extending credit or lending to a Person in such other jurisdiction and (C) without limiting the applicability of Article VIII, such Borrower shall have agreed, in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to indemnify each Bank, within 30 days after delivery by such Bank of a written demand listing the amounts to be indemnified, together with calculations in reasonable detail supporting such amounts, for (1) the increased cost of making or maintaining any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder to such Person and (2) the reduction, as deemed material by such Bank, of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office), in each case, by reason of the fact that such Person is organized under the laws of such other jurisdiction; provided further that, other than increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable required by applicable law or regulation in existence at the time such Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization changes which are notified to such Borrower at least ten Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such change in the jurisdiction of organization, no such compensation may be claimed in respect of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder for any period prior to the date 60 days before the date of notice by such Bank to such Borrower of its intention to make claims therefor.

(n) Section 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) either Borrower (or, solely with respect to the failure to observe or perform the covenants contained in Sections 5.6 and 5.7, any Subsidiary that becomes bound by such covenant in accordance with the terms thereof) shall fail to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 5.5 to 5.9, inclusive;

(p) Section 6.1(k) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the text “either” with the text “any” after the text “shall cease to be effective or”.

(r) Section 9.16 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following text at the end thereof:

(j) Any Person that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to the definition of “Guarantor” in Section 1.1 hereof or pursuant to the definition of the term “IR Parent” in Section 1.1 hereof shall execute and deliver a copy of this Agreement and thereupon such Person shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Person had executed this Agreement as a Guarantor on the Effective Date. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, each of the Borrowers represents and warrants to each of the Banks and the Administrative Agent that, immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate only to an earlier date; and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or electronic (i.e., “pdf”) transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein.

(i) Section 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) the Borrower or IR Parent (or, solely with respect to the failure to observe or perform the covenants contained in Sections 5.6 and 5.7, any Subsidiary that becomes bound by such covenant in accordance with the terms thereof) shall fail to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 5.5 to 5.9, inclusive;

(j) Section 6.1(j) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

WHEREAS the Borrower and IR Parent have requested that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS the undersigned Banks are willing to amend such provisions of the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments. (a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following terms in proper alphabetical order:

“2005 5-Year Existing Credit Agreement” means the 5-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among the Borrower, IR Parent, IR Global, the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Citicorp USA, Inc., as syndication agent, and Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., New York Branch and UBS Securities LLC, as documentation agents.

“Amendment No. 1” means Amendment No. 1 dated as of March 2, 2009, to this Agreement.

“IR Global” means Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited.

(b) The definition of the term “IR Parent” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“IR Parent” shall mean, except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except as the context may otherwise require, (x) until such time as a Subsequent Parent Company shall become a party hereto, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited or (y) the Subsequent Parent Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Subsequent Parent Company” shall be the Person that becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of, or otherwise merges, amalgamates or consolidates with, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (or, if applicable, the existing Subsequent Parent Company) in a transaction where the direct or indirect holders of the capital stock of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (or, if applicable, the existing Subsequent Parent Company) that are entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such company immediately following such transaction are substantially the same as the holders of such capital stock immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, so long as such Person (1) executes and delivers a copy of this Agreement (whereupon such Person shall become a party to this Agreement with the same force and effect as if such Person had executed this Agreement as “IR Parent” on the Effective Date), (2) becomes a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of Section 9.16(b) hereof and (3) is organized under the laws of Bermuda, Ireland, the United States of America (or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) or any other jurisdiction that is, after consultation with the Banks, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, upon the consummation of such transaction and compliance with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding clauses (1), (2) and (3), the existing Subsequent Parent Company shall no longer be “IR Parent” for purposes of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after such time as a Subsequent Parent Company shall become a party hereto, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited and each Person that, prior to such time, was the Subsequent Parent Company shall continue to be bound by the covenants set forth in Sections 5.6, 5.7 and 5.9 as if it were IR Parent.

(c) The definitions of the terms “Level I Status”, “Level II Status”, “Level III Status”, “Level IV Status” and “Level V Status” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by replacing each occurrence of the text “the Borrower’s” in such definitions with the text “IR Global’s”.

 

2


(d) The definition of the term “Public Debt” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Public Debt” means any publicly traded notes, bonds, debentures or similar indebtedness set forth in (a) IR Parent’s Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year or (b) any filings by IR Parent on Form 10-Q or Form 8-K made after the end of the most recently ended fiscal year.

(e) Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following text at the end thereof:

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, on and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, IR Parent shall not be permitted to make any Borrowings under this Article II.

(f) Section 2.7(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing each occurrence of the text “the Borrower’s” in such Section with the text “IR Global’s” and (ii) replacing the text “the Borrower” in such Section with the text “IR Global”.

(g) Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the first sentence of such Section in its entirety, (ii) replacing the first reference therein to the text “IR Parent” with the text “Each Loan Party” and (iii) by replacing the text “Bermuda” therein with the text “the jurisdiction of its organization”.

(h) Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and the Notes are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of such Loan Party or of any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon such Loan Party or of any limitation on borrowing imposed by any agreement or other instrument binding upon such Loan Party.

(j) Section 4.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the text “Neither the Borrower nor IR Parent” therein with the text “No Loan Party”.

(k) Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the text “or” immediately prior to clause (ii) of such Section with the text “,” and by inserting the following new clause (iii) immediately after clause (ii) of such Section:

(m) Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Neither the Borrower nor IR Parent will (i) consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into any other Person, unless (A) the company surviving such consolidation, amalgamation or merger is either IR Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of IR Parent and (B) immediately after giving effect to such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of its assets to any other Person, unless (A) the applicable purchaser, lessee or transferee is either IR Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of IR Parent (including, without limitation, through a liquidation, dissolution, liquidating distribution or equivalent transaction under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction), (B) immediately after giving effect to such transfer, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (C) except in the case of any such transaction involving the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower (which transactions shall be subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.7), such purchaser, lessee or transferee explicitly agrees to be bound by the terms of Section 5.6 and this Section 5.7 as if it were a Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any transaction permitted by this Section 5.7 whereby the Borrower is not the surviving company of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation (in the case of a transaction permitted by clause (i) of this Section 5.7) or is the transferor (in the case of a transaction permitted by clause (ii) of this Section 5.7), then the entity that is the surviving company or the transferee, as the case may be, shall (x) affirmatively agree, in a writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and assume the obligations hereunder of the Borrower (and shall thereafter be deemed to be the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement) and (y) be organized and exist under the law of Bermuda, Ireland, the United States of America (or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) or any other jurisdiction that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to any such other jurisdiction, (A) the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify each Bank) shall have received reasonable advance notice (which, in any event, shall be at least 20 Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such change in the jurisdiction of organization) from the Borrower of the proposed merger, amalgamation, consolidation or transfer and the resulting change in the jurisdiction of organization of the Borrower to such other jurisdiction, (B) neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank that it and its Affiliates are prohibited from extending credit or lending to a Person in such other jurisdiction and (C) without limiting the applicability of Article VIII, the Borrower shall have agreed, in writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to indemnify each Bank, within 30 days after delivery by such Bank of a written demand listing the amounts to be indemnified, together with calculations in reasonable detail supporting such

 

4


amounts, for (1) the increased cost of making or maintaining any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder to such Person and (2) the reduction, as deemed material by such Bank, of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office), in each case, by reason of the fact that such Person is organized under the laws of such other jurisdiction; provided further that, other than increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable required by applicable law or regulation in existence at the time the Borrower’s jurisdiction of organization changes which are notified to the Borrower at least ten Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such change in the jurisdiction of organization, no such compensation may be claimed in respect of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder for any period prior to the date 60 days before the date of notice by such Bank to the Borrower of its intention to make claims therefor.

(n) Section 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) the Borrower or IR Parent (or, solely with respect to the failure to observe or perform the covenants contained in Sections 5.6 and 5.7, any Subsidiary that becomes bound by such covenant in accordance with the terms thereof) shall fail to observe or perform any covenant contained in Section 5.5 to 5.9, inclusive;

(o) Section 6.1(j) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Ingersoll Rand Announces Plans to Reorganize in Ireland

Hamilton, Bermuda, March 5, 2009 — Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (NYSE: IR), the world leader in creating and sustaining safe, comfortable and energy efficient environments, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a reorganization of the company from Bermuda to Ireland.

The first step in this reorganization is the establishment of Ingersoll Rand’s tax residency in Ireland. Ingersoll Rand shareholders will then be asked to vote in favor of completing the reorganization at a shareholders meeting. If conditions are satisfied, including approval by Ingersoll Rand’s shareholders and the Supreme Court of Bermuda, it is expected that Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish incorporated company, will replace Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited as the group’s ultimate parent company.

“We considered a full range of options and locations for the company and decided on Ireland based on the company’s business activities in Ireland, its membership in the European Union, its common law-based legal system and its stable business, legal and regulatory environment,” said Herbert Henkel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ingersoll Rand. “We believe our shareholders will be well served by this decision which provides us with many financial, strategic and operational benefits.”

Ireland is an important part of Ingersoll Rand’s operation and the company has approximately 700 employees in Ireland employed in manufacturing, sales and corporate roles. Ingersoll Rand’s Thermo King business has a major manufacturing site in Galway and many of the company’s European Region shared services are based in Dublin.

In addition to its stable business, legal and regulatory environment, Ireland enjoys strong relationships as a member of the European Union. Ireland also enjoys a long history of international investment and a good network of tax treaties with the United States, the European Union and several other countries where Ingersoll Rand has major operations.

Ingersoll Rand does not expect a material impact on its financial operations or anticipate changes to its day-to-day operations as a result of this decision. Ingersoll Rand will, upon completion of the reorganization, continue to be subject to United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, and Ingersoll Rand’s shares will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IR).

A Questions & Answers document will be posted shortly on the Company’s web site in the Investor Relations section. This document can be found at the following URL – http://investor.shareholder.com/ir/.

This communication is being made in respect of the proposed reorganization. In connection with the reorganization, Ingersoll Rand intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement and mail the proxy statement to its shareholders. Shareholders are urged to read such proxy statement when it becomes available because it will contain important information. The proxy statement will be, and other documents filed or to be filed by Ingersoll Rand with the SEC are or will be, available free of charge at the SEC’s web site (www.sec.gov) and at Ingersoll Rand’s web site (www.irco.com).

Ingersoll Rand and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed reorganization. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the Ingersoll Rand shareholders in connection with the reorganization will be set forth in the proxy statement when it is filed with the SEC. You can find information about Ingersoll Rand’s directors and executive officers in its definitive proxy statement which was filed on April 16, 2008. You can obtain free copies of these documents from Ingersoll Rand using the contact information above.

Political, economic, climatic, currency, tax, regulatory, technological, competitive, and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Additional information regarding these risk factors and uncertainties is detailed from time to time in the company’s SEC filings, including but not limited to its report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2009.
