Description of Securities. ------------------------- Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. -------------------------------------- Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers. ----------------------------------------- Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides that a corporation created thereunder may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director or officer of another corporation or other enterprise against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, subject to certain limitations referred to therein. Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws provides for indemnification of directors and officers as follows: The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent to which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or any other applicable laws, as from time to time in effect, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a division thereof, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. II-2 4 The provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or other applicable law, if any, are in effect, and any repeal or modification of any such law or of this Article shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent to which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, and with respect to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or any other applicable laws, as from time to time in effect, indemnify any officer, director or employee of the Corporation or an affiliated corporation, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an individual Trustee, Committee member, administrator or fiduciary of a pension or other benefit plan for employees of the Corporation, or of an affiliated corporation or other enterprise. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article and who are or were employees or agents of the Corporation or a division thereof, or are or were serving at the request of the Corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The indemnification provided or permitted by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled by law or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent to which it is empowered to do so by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or any other applicable laws, as from time to time in effect, pay expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending any II-3 5 action, suit or proceeding, in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any such threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by applicable laws. Article Sixteenth of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that "No director of this Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. This provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of this Article." Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed. ----------------------------------- Not applicable. Item 8. Exhibits. -------- The exhibits filed herewith are set forth in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration Statement on pages II-8 - II-9 hereof. Item 9. Undertakings. ------------ A. Undertaking Pursuant to Rule 415: The Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of Common Stock are being made under the Sundstrand Corporation Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan or the Sundstrand Corporation Director Compensation Plan, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) (Not applicable); (ii) (Not applicable); II-4 6 (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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. B. Undertaking Regarding Documents Subsequently Filed Under the 1934 Act: The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by reference in the 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 will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. Undertaking Regarding Indemnification: Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
