Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers Article Seventh of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, directors of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders, except that no such director or officer shall be relieved from liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (iii) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. Article Seventh also provides that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or proceeding, by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Company, or by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of any other corporation or of any partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan or other entity or enterprise, serving as such at the request of the Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the "Act"), from and against all reasonable costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees, and all amounts paid or incurred in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties, incurred or suffered in connection with any such proceeding, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and assigns; provided, however, that there shall be no indemnification with respect to any settlement of any proceeding unless the Company has given its prior consent to such settlement or disposition. This right to indemnification includes the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that, if the Act so requires, the payment of such expenses shall be made only upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced unless it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is entitled to be indemnified. Article Seventh also provides that the right to indemnification thereunder is a contract right and gives claimants certain rights with respect to claims for indemnification not paid by the Company after 30 days following a written request. Finally, Article Seventh provides that the right to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided thereby shall not exclude or be exclusive of any other rights to which any person may be entitled under a certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits The following exhibits are filed as part of this Registration Statement: 4 Rights Agreement, dated as of December 7, 1988, as amended, by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated as of December 7, 1994 (incorporated by reference from Form 8-A of Ingersoll-Rand Company filed on December 12, 1988, and Form 8-A/A of Ingersoll- Rand Company filed December 15, 1994). 5 Opinion of Patricia Nachtigal, Esq. 23.1 Consent of Price Waterhouse LLP 23.2 Consent of Patricia Nachtigal, Esq. (included in the opinion filed as Exhibit 5). 24 Power of Attorney (included in the signature pages of this Registration Statement). Item 9. Undertakings The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement; (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"); (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement (except to the extent the information required to be included by clauses (i) or (ii) is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement); (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, on this 8th day of January, 1997.
