1. The terms and rights of the Designated Securities and the issuance thereof shall be specified in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement and in or pursuant to the indenture (the “Indenture”) identified in such Pricing Agreement. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firm or firms designated as representative or representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto will act as representatives (the “Representatives”). If no Representatives are designated in the Pricing Agreement, the term “Representatives” refers to the Underwriters. These Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell or the Guarantor to guarantee any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities.

Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Agreement, for a period beginning at the time of execution of such Pricing Agreement and ending on the Closing Date, to not offer or contract to sell or, except pursuant to a commitment entered into prior to the date of the Pricing Agreement, sell or otherwise dispose of any of its debt securities or any of the debt securities of the Guarantor having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue without the prior written consent of the Representatives;

(i) (i) The Company represents and agrees that, other than the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 6, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Designated Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act;

(ii) Each Underwriter represents and agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Representatives, other than one or more term sheets relating to the Designated Securities containing customary information, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Designated Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Act; and

(iii) Any such “free writing prospectus” and any electronic road show, the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives (including the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to this Section 6), is listed on Annex II hereto;

(j) It has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission, or retention where required, and legending;

8. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Designated Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein on the part of the Company and the Guarantor as of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date; to the accuracy of the statements of the executive officers of the Company and the Guarantor made pursuant to the provisions hereof; to the performance by the Company and the Guarantor of their respective obligations hereunder; and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(c) Appleby, Bermuda counsel for each of the Company and IR Limited, shall have furnished to the Representatives its written opinion, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:

(i) Each of the Company and IR Limited is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and existing under the laws of Bermuda. Each of the Company and IR Limited has been duly organised, is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Bermuda, with full power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus;

(ii) Each of the Company and IR Limited has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the applicable Pricing Agreement (collectively, the “Subject Agreements”) to which it is a party and to take all action as may be necessary to complete the transactions contemplated thereby;

(iii) The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and IR Limited of the Subject Agreements, the Designated Securities and the Guarantee, as applicable, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorised by all necessary corporate action on the part of each of the Company and IR Limited. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and IR Limited of the Subject Agreements, the Designated Securities and the Guarantee, as applicable, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issue and sale of the Designated Securities by the Company and the issue of the Guarantee by IR Limited, do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) any law, order, rule, decree, statute or regulation of Bermuda; (ii) in connection with this Agreement, the applicable supplemental Indenture and the applicable Pricing Agreement, the certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Company and IR Limited, as applicable; or (iii) in connection with the Indenture dated August 12, 2008, the Company’s and IR Limited, the certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association, bye-laws and register of directors and officers for the Company and IR Global, respectively, as at August 12, 2008;

(iv) The Subject Agreements to which either of the Company and IR Limited is a party have been duly executed by each of the relevant Companies and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Company and IR Limited, as applicable, enforceable against such party in accordance with their terms;

(v) All necessary action required to be taken by the Company pursuant to Bermuda law has been taken by or on behalf of the Company and all the necessary authorizations and approvals of governmental authorities in Bermuda have been duly obtained, for the issue and sale by the Company of the Designated Securities and all necessary action required to be taken by IR Limited pursuant to Bermuda law has been taken by or on behalf of IR Limited and all necessary authorizations and approvals of governmental authorities in Bermuda have been duly obtained, for the issue by IR Limited of the Guarantee;

(vi) When issued and paid for and when executed, delivered and authenticated pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subject Agreements and the resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, the Designated Securities will be validly issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company;

(vii) When issued and when executed, delivered and authenticated pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subject Agreements, the Guarantee and the resolutions of the board of directors of IR Limited, the Guarantee will be validly issued and will constitute the valid and binding obligations of IR Limited;

(viii) Subject as provided in this paragraph, no consent, licence or authorisation of, filing with, or other act by or in respect of, any governmental authority or court of Bermuda is required to be obtained by the Company or IR Limited in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company and IR Limited of the Subject Agreements to which either is a party or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issue and sale of the Designated Securities and the issue of the Guarantee, or to ensure the legality, validity, admissibility into evidence or enforceability as to the Company and IR Limited, as applicable, of the Subject Agreements, except that the permission of the Bermuda Monetary Authority is required and has been granted for the issue of the Designated Securities pursuant to the notice to the public dated June 1, 2005 granted by the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Exchange Control Act 1972 and the Exchange Control Regulations 1973; and the Prospectus must be filed with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda pursuant to and in accordance with Part III of the Bermuda Companies Act 1981, as soon as reasonably practicable after publication of the Prospectus and must be accompanied by a filing fee of $78.00;

(ix) The transactions contemplated by the Subject Agreements are not subject to any currency deposit or reserve requirements in Bermuda. Each of the Company and IR Limited has been designated as “non-resident” for the purposes of the Exchange Control Act 1972 and regulations made thereunder and there is no restriction or requirement of Bermuda binding on the Company and IR Limited, which limits the availability or transfer of foreign exchange (i.e. monies denominated in currencies other than Bermuda dollars) for the purposes of the performance by each of the Company and IR Limited of their respective obligations under the Subject Agreements;

(x) Each of the Company and IR Limited has received an assurance from the Ministry of Finance granting an exemption, until March 28, 2016, from the imposition of tax under any applicable Bermuda law computed on profits or income or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, provided that such exemption shall not prevent the application of any such tax or duty to such persons as are ordinarily resident in Bermuda and shall not prevent the application of any tax payable in accordance with the provisions of the Land Tax Act 1967 or otherwise payable in relation to land in Bermuda leased to either of the Company or IR Limited. There are, subject as otherwise provided in paragraph (viii) of this Section 8(c), no Bermuda income or other taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, duties, recording, transfer or other tax or similar charges now due, by withholding or otherwise, or which could in the future become due, by withholding or otherwise, in connection with the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Subject Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issue, sale and delivery of the Designated Securities and the issue and delivery of the Guarantee, or in connection with the admissibility in evidence thereof and the Companies are not required by any Bermuda law or regulation to make any deductions or withholdings in Bermuda from any payment it may make thereunder;

(xi) Under Bermuda law, the Underwriters will not be deemed to be resident, domiciled, carrying on any commercial activity in Bermuda or subject to any taxation in Bermuda by reason only of the entry into, performance or enforcement of the Subject Agreements to which they are a party or the transactions contemplated thereby. It is not necessary under Bermuda law that the Underwriters or the Representatives be authorized, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Bermuda for their execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Subject Agreements;

(xii) The financial obligations of each of the Company and IR Limited under the Subject Agreements rank at least pari passu in priority of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (whether actual or contingent) issued, created or assumed by the Company or IR Limited, as applicable, other than indebtedness which is preferred by virtue of any provision of Bermuda law of general application, as described below:

Competing priorities between creditors of an insolvent company which is a company in liquidation in Bermuda are generally determined in the following order:

claims of secured creditors under fixed charges rank first in priority;

where Section 33(3) of the Employment Act 2000 applies, on the winding up of a company or the appointment of a receiver of a company, the claim of an employee of that company to wages and other payments due under his contract of employment or under the Employment Act 2000 rank second in priority;

pursuant to Section 236 of the Companies Act 1981, claims by creditors in respect of taxes owing to the Bermuda government and rates owing to any municipality, as well as, to the extent not within 2 above, specified wages accrued and unpaid, holiday remuneration and amounts due under the Contributory Pensions Act 1970 and the Workmen’s Compensation Act 1965, will rank third in priority;

claims of secured creditors under floating charges rank fourth in priority;

claims by unsecured creditors rank fifth in priority; and

claims in the nature of capital claims (generally the claims of shareholders) or subordinated claims rank last and, amongst themselves, in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company or IR Limited or any shareholders agreement of the Company or IR Limited or the terms of any subordination agreement in the liquidation.

On the winding up of a pension plan maintained by a company which is in liquidation, under the National Pension Scheme (Occupational Pensions) Act 1998 as amended, the property or proceeds of sale of any property seized or sold in pursuance of a court order as provided in the statute, will not be distributed to a secured creditor until contributions due from the employer have been provided for;

(xiii) The choice of the laws of the State of New York as the proper law to govern the Subject Agreements, the Designated Securities and the Guarantee is a valid choice of law under Bermuda law and such choice of law would be recognized, upheld and applied by the courts of Bermuda as the proper law of such agreements in proceedings brought before them in relation to such agreements, provided that (A) the point is specifically pleaded; (B) such choice of law is valid and binding under the laws of the State of New York; and (C) recognition would not be contrary to public policy as that term is understood under Bermuda law;

(xiv) The submission by each of the Company and IR Limited to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York pursuant to the Subject Agreements is not contrary to Bermuda law and would be recognised by the courts of Bermuda as a legal, valid and binding submission to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, if such submission is accepted by such courts and is legal, valid and binding under the laws of the State of New York;

(xv) The appointment of Ingersoll-Rand Company, as the agent for the receipt of any service of process in respect of any proceeding instituted in a New York Court in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with the Subject Agreements, the Designated Securities or the Guarantee is a valid and effective appointment, if such appointment is valid and binding under the laws of the State of New York;

(xvi) A final and conclusive judgment of a competent foreign court against any of the Companies based upon the Subject Agreements (other than a court of jurisdiction to which The Judgments (Reciprocal Enforcement) Act 1958 applies, and it does not apply to the courts of the State of New York or the federal courts of the United States of America) under which a sum of money is payable (not being a sum payable in respect of taxes or other charges of a like nature, in respect of a fine or other penalty, or in respect of multiple damages as defined in The Protection of Trading Interests Act 1981) may be the subject of enforcement proceedings in the Supreme Court of Bermuda under the common law doctrine of obligation by action on the debt evidenced by the judgement of such competent foreign court. A final opinion as to the availability of this remedy should be sought when the facts surrounding the foreign court’s judgment are known, but, on general principles, we would expect such proceedings to be successful provided that:

the court which gave the judgment was competent to hear the action in accordance with private international law principles as applied in Bermuda; and

the judgment is not contrary to public policy in Bermuda, has not been obtained by fraud or in proceedings contrary to natural justice and is not based on an error in Bermuda law.

Enforcement of such a judgment against assets in Bermuda may involve the conversion of the judgment debt into Bermuda dollars, but the Bermuda Monetary Authority has indicated that its present policy is to give the consents necessary to enable recovery in the currency of the obligation;

(xvii) Neither the Company or IR Limited nor any of their assets or property enjoys, under Bermuda law, immunity on the grounds of sovereignty from any legal or other proceedings whatsoever or from enforcement, execution or attachment in respect of its obligations under the Subject Agreements;

(xviii) Based solely upon the entries and filings shown in respect of each of the Company and IR Limited on the file of such party maintained in the Register of Companies at office of the Registrar of Companies in Hamilton, Bermuda, as revealed by a search thereof, and the entries and filings shown in respect of each of the Company and IR Limited in the Supreme Court Causes Book maintained at the Registry of the Supreme Court in Hamilton, Bermuda, as revealed by a search therof:

no litigation, administrative or other proceeding of or before any governmental authority of Bermuda is pending against or affecting either of the Company or IR Limited; and

no notice to the Registrar of Companies of the passing of a resolution of members or creditors to wind up or the appointment of a liquidator or receiver has been given. No petition to wind up either of the Company or IR Limited or application to reorganize their affairs pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement or application for the appointment of a receiver has been filed with the Supreme Court;

(xix) The statements in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus under the captions “Certain Tax Considerations,” “Description of Authorized Share Capital”, “About This Prospectus Supplement” and “Service of Process and Enforcement of Liabilities” and under the risk factors titled “Federal and state laws and Bermuda and Irish law allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors”, “We are incorporated in Bermuda, and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may not be able to enforce civil liability provisions of the federal or state securities laws of the United States” and “The Ministry of Finance in Bermuda has granted a tax assurance to IR Global under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act, 1996, which expires in 2016” and in the statements contained in the annual report of IR Limited on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 under the caption “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Reorganization as a Bermuda Company”, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, in so far as such statements constitute a summary of the matters of Bermuda law referred to therein, fairly and accurately represent such legal matters in all material respects;

(xx) Under Bermuda law, other than as agreed to by contract entered into by such holder, no personal liability will attach to the holders of the Designated Securities, merely by virtue of the fact that they hold the Designated Securities; and

(xxi) As a matter of general principle, Bermuda law does not restrict the transferability of the Designated Securities provided any such transfer is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Resolutions, the certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Company, and the Subject Agreements.

(i) Assuming the due authentication of the Designated Securities by the Trustee, and upon payment and delivery in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Designated Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

(i) Since the date as of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, no event shall have occurred which should have been set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Pricing Prospectus but which has not been so set forth, and since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change in or affecting the business and operations, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of IR Limited and its subsidiaries taken as a whole otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto) and the Prospectus (excluding any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which is in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

(j) Subsequent to the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; (ii) a suspension in trading in the securities of IR Limited on the New York Stock Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; (iv) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services; or (v) the outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration, on or after the date hereof, by the United States of a national emergency or war if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (v) in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

(k) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representatives at the Closing Date a certificate or certificates (i) of executive officers of each of the Company and the Guarantor who have specific knowledge of such party’s financial matters as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, at and as of the Closing Date, as to the performance by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date, and as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (i) of this Section 8, and (ii) as to such other matters as the Representatives may reasonably request; and

Corporation shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of any of the debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).

9. (a) The Company and the Guarantor will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the applicable Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, otherwise than as a result of a breach by any Underwriter of Section 6(i)(ii) herein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, the directors of each such party, the officers of each such party who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the applicable Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse such person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel or participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the Representatives in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action, unless the indemnified parties shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that representation of such indemnified parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them). No indemnifying party will (i) without the prior written consent of each of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then

each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor, together on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligations to purchase the Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for any Underwriter or Underwriters or another party or other parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company and the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of, in the aggregate, thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company and the Guarantor that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or either of the Company or the Guarantor notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representatives, the Company and the Guarantor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes that may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10(a) with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangement for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of such Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters as provided in subsection (a) above the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company and the Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 and Section 12 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and

effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or the Guarantor or any respective officer or director or controlling person of the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Designated Securities.

12. If the applicable Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof; but if for any other reason Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantor will jointly and severally reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company and the Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof.

13. (a) In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives.

(b) All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing or by facsimile, and if to the Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement; if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel; if to the Guarantor shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the purchase and sale of Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other. The Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Guarantor with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Guarantor or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter are advising the Company, the Guarantor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction and have not undertaken any obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantor with respect thereto.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantor and, to the extent provided in Section 9 and Section 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the Guarantor and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantor or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence in connection with each Pricing Agreement.

16. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein; each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it brought by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, County of New York (each a “New York Court”), and waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and IR Limited has appointed Ingersoll-Rand Company as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any New York Court, by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and each of the Company and IR Limited agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company or IR Limited, as applicable. To the extent that the Company or IR Limited has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court (including, without limitation, any court in the United States, the State of New York, Bermuda or any political subdivision thereof) or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property or assets, this Agreement, or any other documents or actions to enforce judgments in respect of any thereof, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, and any defense based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations under the above-referenced documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the full extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.

17. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please indicate your acceptance of this Agreement by signing in the space provided below.
