IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan

As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2009

SECTION 1

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The purpose of the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan (the “Plan”) is to further increase the mutuality of interest between Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Company”), its non-employee members of the Board (“Non-employee Directors”) and members by providing its Non-employee Directors the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of cash compensation. The Plan, originally known as the Ingersoll-Rand Company Directors Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan, became effective on January 1, 1997, was amended and restated effective January 1, 2001, was subsequently amended as of December 21, 2001, and was again amended and restated effective August 1, 2007. This further amendment and restatement is effective January 1, 2009.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (including any election made by any Participant under the Plan), (i) no amount shall be deferred under the Plan if, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), such amount would be subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered New Deferral Amount”), and (ii) any amount previously deferred under the Plan that, pursuant to the effective date rules of Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, Q&A-16 of IRS Notice 2005-1, and Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-6(a), is subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount”) shall no longer be credited or payable under the Plan after December 31, 2004. Any Non-Grandfathered New Deferral Amount shall instead be deferred under the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II, and any Non-Grandfathered Prior Deferral Amount shall instead be credited under the IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II, as and to the extent provided under the terms of IR-Limited Director Deferred Compensation and Stock Award Plan II.

SECTION 3

PARTICIPATION, DEFERRAL ELECTION AND INVESTMENT ELECTION

 

3.1

Participation and Deferral Election . Non-employee Directors may elect to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year by filing a completed Election Form for the Plan Year in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Company. The Election Form must specify the percentage or dollar amount of any Deferral Amount otherwise payable during such Plan Year that will be deferred under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, at the Non-employee Director’s direction, an election to participate in the Plan for a given Plan Year may continue from Plan Year to Plan Year unless a written request to modify or terminate that election for a subsequent period is submitted to the Secretary of the Company on or before the date 15 days prior to the beginning of the subsequent Plan Year. Any election to defer a Deferral Amount is irrevocable upon the filing of the Election Form, and must be properly completed and filed no later than the November 30 immediately preceding such Plan Year, or, with respect to a new Non-employee Director, before the effective date of his or her election to the Board, or such other date as the Secretary of the Company may specify. A Non-employee Director who fails to file a properly completed Election Form by such date will be ineligible to defer a Deferral Amount under the Plan for the following Plan Year. In addition, the Company may establish from time to time such other enrollment requirements as it determines are necessary or proper.

If the Company determines in good faith that a Participant no longer qualifies as a Non-employee Director, the Company shall have the right to (i) terminate any deferral election the Participant has made for the remainder of the Plan Year in which the Participant’s membership status changes, (ii) prevent the Participant from making future deferral elections and/or (iii) immediately distribute the Participant’s then vested Account Balances and terminate the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

 

3.2

Investment Election . In accordance with procedures established by the Company, prior to the time a Participant’s Deferral Amounts are credited to a Participant’s Deferral Account pursuant to Section 5.1, the Participant shall designate, on an Election Form, the types of investment options in which the Participant’s Deferral Amounts will be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings to be credited to the Participant’s Deferral Account and, with respect to Deferral Amounts that are designated by the Participant to be deemed to be invested in IR Stock, the IR Stock Account.

Subject to Section 5.3, in making the designations pursuant to this Section, the Participant may specify that all or any portion of the Participant’s Deferral Amount be deemed to be invested, in whole percentage increments, in one or more of the types of investment options provided under the Plan. A Participant may change the designation made under this Section with respect to prior and/or future Deferral Amounts by filing an Election Form no later than the time specified by the Secretary of the Company, to be effective as of the first business day of the following month. If a Participant fails to elect a type of investment option under this Section, he or she shall be deemed to have elected the investment option designated by the Company as the default investment option.

All Deferral Amounts that are deemed, at the Participant’s election, to be invested in IR Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s IR Stock Account as described in Section 5.3.

Each Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be divided into Investment Option Subaccounts. A Participant’s Deferral Accounts shall be credited as follows:
