ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS This prospectus is part of a registration statement (No. 333- ) that Honeywell filed with the SEC utilizing a 'shelf' registration process. Under this shelf process, we may offer from time to time up to $2,000,000,000 (or the equivalent in foreign or composite currencies) of our debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer securities, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. To understand the terms of our securities, you should carefully read this document with the attached prospectus supplement. Together they give the specific terms of the securities we are offering. You should also read the documents we have referred you to in 'Where You Can Find More Information About Honeywell' below for information on our company and our financial statements. HONEYWELL Honeywell, a Delaware corporation, is a diversified technology and manufacturing leader, serving customers worldwide with aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; power generation systems; specialty chemicals; fibers; plastics; and electronic and advanced materials. We are a leading provider of software and solutions and Internet e-hubs, including MyPlant.com, MyFacilities.com and MyAircraft.com, a joint venture with United Technologies and i2 Technologies. We employ approximately 120,000 people in 95 countries. Honeywell results from the combination on December 1, 1999 of AlliedSignal Inc. and Honeywell Inc. In connection with the combination, AlliedSignal Inc. changed its name to Honeywell International Inc. RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES The following table sets forth the historical ratios of earnings to fixed charges of Honeywell for the periods indicated: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, - -------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000 1999 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 - ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- 6.50 8.79 6.74 8.05 7.20 6.65 5.70 The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is generally computed by dividing the sum of net income, income taxes and fixed charges (net of capitalized interest) less undistributed equity income by fixed charges. Fixed charges represent gross interest and amortization of debt discount and expense and the interest factor of all rentals, consisting of an appropriate interest factor on operating leases. USE OF PROCEEDS Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement will be used for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include the repayment of outstanding debt, repurchase of our common stock, investments in or extensions of credit to our subsidiaries, or the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansion. The net proceeds may be invested temporarily or applied to repay short-term debt until they are used for their stated purpose. 2
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms that may apply to debt securities offered under this prospectus. The particular terms of any debt securities will be described in the related prospectus supplement. GENERAL Debt securities will be our unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations. They will be issued under an indenture dated as of October 1, 1985, as amended by a first supplemental indenture dated as of February 1, 1991 and a second supplemental indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, between us and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee. The following summary of certain provisions of the indenture is not complete. You should refer to the indenture (including the amendments to it) which are exhibits to our registration statement No. 333- . The indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act. Section references below are to the section in the indenture. The referenced sections of the indenture and the definitions of capitalized terms in the indenture are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt that we may issue. The indenture provides that debt securities may be issued thereunder up to the principal amount authorized by us from time to time. We have issued $2,609,760,000 principal amount of debt securities under our existing indenture with The Chase Manhattan Bank as of the date of this prospectus. The debt securities may be issued in one or more separate series. The prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of debt securities being offered will specify the particular amounts, prices and terms of those debt securities. These terms may include: the title and type of the debt securities; any limit on the aggregate principal amount or aggregate initial offering price of the debt securities and the amount payable upon acceleration; the purchase price of the debt securities; the dates on which the principal of the debt securities will be payable; the interest rates, including any interest rates applicable to overdue payments, of the debt securities, or the method for determining those rates, and the interest payment dates for the debt securities; the places where payments may be made on the debt securities; any mandatory or optional redemption provisions applicable to the debt securities; any sinking fund or analogous provisions applicable to the debt securities; the authorized denominations of the debt securities, if other than $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000; if other than U.S. dollars, the currency, currencies or composite currencies, in which the purchase price or payments on the debt securities will be payable. The currencies may be different for principal, premium and interest payments; any conversion or exchange provisions applicable to the debt securities; any additional events of default applicable to the debt securities not set forth in the indenture; any securities exchange on which the debt securities may be listed; and any other specific terms of the debt securities. Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt securities. Original issue discount debt securities bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates and will be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. The prospectus supplement will also contain any special tax, accounting or other information relating to original issue discount debt 3
securities or relating to certain other kinds of debt securities that may be offered, including debt securities linked to an index or payable in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The debt securities will be issued only in fully registered form without coupons. The indenture also provides that debt securities of a series may be issued as permanent global debt securities. See ' -- Permanent Global Debt Securities' and ' -- Book-Entry Issuance' below. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of debt securities, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges. Principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the trustee in New York City. Transfers or exchanges of debt securities may be made at the same location. Payment of interest on any debt securities may be made at our option by check mailed to the registered holders of the debt securities at their registered addresses. In connection with any payment on a debt security, we may require the holder to certify information to us. In the absence of such certification, we may rely on any legal presumption to determine whether we must deduct or withhold taxes, assessments or governmental charges from a payment. We may at any time repurchase debt securities at any price on the open market or otherwise. We may in our discretion hold, resell or surrender to the trustee for cancellation any debt securities that we acquire. COVENANTS The indenture does not limit our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions, nor does it provide special protection to holders of debt securities in the event of those transactions. The indenture does not provide special protection in the event of a sudden and dramatic decline in our credit quality, including a decline resulting from a takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring. In addition, the indenture does not limit the amount of indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries. The covenants contained in the indenture are described below. Limitation on Liens. In the indenture, we covenant not to issue, assume or guarantee any indebtedness for borrowed money secured by liens on any property located in the United States which is -- in the opinion of our board of directors, a principal manufacturing property, or -- an oil, gas or mineral producing property, or any shares of capital stock or indebtedness of any subsidiary owning such property, without equally and ratably securing the debt securities, subject to certain exceptions specified in the indenture. These exceptions include: existing liens on our property or liens on property of corporations at the time such corporations become our subsidiaries or are merged with us; liens existing on property when acquired, or incurred to finance the purchase price of that property; certain liens on property to secure the cost of exploration, drilling or development of, or improvements on, that property; certain liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental entities; and indebtedness secured by liens otherwise prohibited by the covenant not exceeding 10% of the consolidated net tangible assets of Honeywell and our consolidated subsidiaries (Sections 101 and 1005). Transfers of oil, gas or other minerals in place for a period of time until the transferee receives a specified amount of money or of such minerals or any other transfers commonly referred to as 'production payments,' are outside the scope of this covenant and are permitted without restriction. 4
Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. We also covenant not to enter into any sale and lease-back transaction covering any property located in the United States which is in the opinion of our board of directors, a principal manufacturing property, or an oil, gas or mineral producing property, unless: we would be entitled under the provisions described under ' -- Limitation on Liens' to incur debt equal to the value of such sale and lease-back transaction, secured by liens on the property to be leased, without equally securing the outstanding debt securities; or we, during the four months following the effective date of such sale and lease-back transaction, apply an amount equal to the value of such sale and lease-back transaction to the voluntary retirement of long-term indebtedness of Honeywell or our subsidiaries (Sections 101 and 1006). CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS We may, without the consent of the holders of any debt securities, consolidate or merge with any other person or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to another person or permit another corporation to merge into Honeywell, provided that: the successor is a person organized under U.S. law; the successor person, if not Honeywell, assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and certain other conditions are met (Section 801A). DEFEASANCE PROVISIONS The indenture contains a provision that, if made applicable to any series of debt securities, permits us to elect: (1) to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities, to maintain paying agencies and to hold moneys for payment in trust) with respect to any series of debt securities denominated and payable in U.S. dollars then outstanding ('defeasance'); and/or (2) to be released from our obligations under the covenants set forth in Sections 1005 (limitation on liens) and 1006 (limitation on sale and lease-back transactions) and from the consequences of an event of default resulting from a breach of those covenants ('covenant defeasance') (Sections 403 and 1008). To elect defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deposit in trust with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations (which are direct obligations of the United States backed by its full faith and credit) which through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide sufficient money, without reinvestment, to repay in full those debt securities, including any sinking fund obligations (Section 101). As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel that the holders of the debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance or covenant defeasance. In the case of defeasance under clause (1) above, that opinion must refer to and be based upon a ruling received by us from the Internal Revenue Service or published as a revenue ruling or upon a change in applicable Federal income tax law, and such defeasance may not result in any series of debt securities, if it is listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, being delisted. 5
Under Federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, defeasance would likely be treated as a taxable exchange of debt securities for interests in the defeasance trust. As a result, a holder would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the holder's cost or other tax basis for the debt securities and the value of the holder's proportionate interest in the defeasance trust. That holder would thereafter be required to include in income a proportionate share of the income, gain or loss, as the case may be, of the defeasance trust. Under Federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, covenant defeasance would ordinarily not be treated as a taxable exchange of debt securities. Purchasers of debt securities should consult their own advisors as to the tax consequences to them of defeasance and covenant defeasance, including the applicability and effect of tax laws other than the Federal income tax law. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a particular series of debt securities, then even if there were a default under the related covenant, payment of those debt securities could not be accelerated. We may exercise our defeasance option with respect to a particular series of debt securities even if we previously had exercised our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our defeasance option, payment of those debt securities may not be accelerated because of any event of default. If we exercise our defeasance option or covenant defeasance option and an acceleration were to occur, the realizable value at the acceleration date of the money and U.S. government obligations in the defeasance trust could be less than the principal and interest then due on those debt securities. This is because the required deposit of money and/or U.S. government obligations in the defeasance trust is based upon scheduled cash flows rather than market value, which will vary depending upon interest rates and other factors. MODIFICATION We and the trustee may make modifications and amendments to the indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of each series of outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. Without the consent of each affected holder, no modification may: change the stated maturity of any debt securities; reduce the principal amount of any debt securities; reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or any premium of any debt securities; impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after its due date; or reduce the percentage of the principal amount of debt securities required to approve any supplemental indenture or any waiver under the indenture (Section 902). We and the trustee may amend the indenture without the consent of the holders of debt securities: to reflect our merger with another person; to replace the trustee; to issue a new series of debt securities; to effect modifications that do not adversely affect any outstanding series of debt securities; and for certain other purposes (Section 901). Any modification of the indenture subordinating any series of debt securities issued under it to any other indebtedness of Honeywell will not be effective without each holder's consent. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; WAIVER An event of default with respect to any series of debt securities will occur under the indenture if: 6
we fail to pay principal of or any premium on the series, except for principal due upon sinking fund redemptions; we fail to pay any installment of interest on the series for a period of 30 days; we fail to pay any sinking fund redemption on the series for a period of 30 days; we fail to perform any other covenant in the indenture for 90 days after notice; we or a court take certain actions relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Honeywell for the benefit of our creditors; or any other event of default specified with respect to debt securities of that series as described in the applicable prospectus supplement occurs (Section 501). No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities issued under the indenture necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities (Section 501). On the occurrence of an event of default with respect to a series of debt securities, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount at maturity of such series of debt securities then outstanding may declare the principal, or in the case of debt securities sold at an original issue discount, the amount specified in the terms of the debt securities, to be due and payable immediately (Section 501). Subject to certain conditions, the declaration described in the preceding paragraph may be annulled and past defaults, except uncured payment defaults and certain other specified defaults, may be waived by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding debt securities of the series affected by any event of default (Sections 501, 502 and 507). Upon payment of the principal amount in respect of an event of default on any series of debt securities, together with any premium or interest due thereon, all of our obligations in respect to payment of indebtedness on such debt securities will terminate (Section 401). The indenture requires the trustee to, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to any outstanding series of debt securities, give the holders of that series notice of the default if uncured. The trustee may withhold this notice of default, except for default in the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on, or of any sinking fund payment with respect to, such series of debt securities, if it considers such withholding to be in the interest of holders of debt securities (Section 508). We are required annually to file with the trustee a certificate stating that no default exists under the indenture, or specifying the nature and status of any default (Section 1004). Subject to provisions relating to its duties in case of default, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities unless such holders of debt securities shall have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity (Section 603). Subject to that provision for security or indemnification, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to, or exercising any trust or power conferred on, the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series (Section 504). INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE UNDER THE INDENTURE We and some of our subsidiaries and affiliates maintain deposits with, and conduct other banking transactions with, The Chase Manhattan Bank in the ordinary course of business. These include: The Chase Manhattan Bank is the trustee under the indenture under which our Serial Zero Coupon Bonds Due through 2009 are outstanding and under the indenture under which indebtedness of Honeywell Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, is outstanding. The Chase Manhattan Bank is fiscal agent for our 8% Bonds Due May 15, 2006. 7
The Chase Manhattan Bank is a lender under our revolving credit agreements with a group of banks. PERMANENT GLOBAL DEBT SECURITIES The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the related prospectus supplement (Section 203). For most debt securities, the depositary will be DTC. A global security may not be transferred except as a whole to the depositary, a nominee of the depositary or their successors unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in individually certificated form. For a description of the depositary arrangements, see 'Book-Entry Issuance'. Any additional terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series of debt securities and the rights of and limitations on owners of beneficial interests in a global security representing a series of debt securities may be described in the related prospectus supplement. DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK GENERAL Honeywell's restated certificate of incorporation, or charter, authorizes the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors to cause preferred stock to be issued in one or more series, without stockholder action. They are authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value, and can determine the number of shares of each series, and the rights, preferences and limitations of each series. We may amend the charter to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock in a manner permitted by the charter and Delaware law. As of the date of this prospectus, there is no preferred stock outstanding. The particular terms of any series of preferred stock offered by us will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. Those terms relating to the series of preferred stock offered may include: the number of shares of the preferred stock being offered; the title and liquidation preference per share of the preferred stock; the purchase price of the preferred stock; the dividend rate or method for determining the dividend rate; the dates on which dividends will be paid; whether dividends on the preferred stock will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends shall commence to accumulate; any redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the preferred stock; any securities exchange on which the preferred stock may be listed; and any additional dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and other rights and restrictions applicable to the preferred stock. The following summary is not complete. You should refer to the certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock for the complete terms of that preferred stock. The certificate of designations will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the time of the offering of the preferred stock. Each share of preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, if we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our business, each series of preferred stock will have the same rank as to dividends and distributions as each other series of preferred stock we may issue in the future. Preferred stock will have no preemptive rights. 8
DIVIDENDS RIGHTS Holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, cash dividends at the rates and on the dates set forth in the prospectus supplement. Dividend rates may be fixed or variable or both. Different series of preferred stock may be entitled to dividends at different dividend rates or based upon different methods of determination. Each dividend will be payable to the holders of record as they appear on our stock books on record dates determined by the board of directors. Dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative or noncumulative, as specified in the prospectus supplement. If the board of directors fails to declare a dividend on any preferred stock for which dividends are noncumulative, then the right to receive that dividend will be lost, and we will have no obligation to pay the dividend for that dividend period, whether or not dividends are declared for any future dividend period. No full dividends will be declared or paid on any preferred stock unless full dividends for the dividend period commencing after the immediately preceding dividend payment date and any cumulative dividends still owing have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid on all other series of preferred stock which have the same rank as, or rank senior to, that series of preferred stock. When those dividends are not paid in full, dividends will be declared pro rata, so that the amount of dividends declared per share on that series of preferred stock and on each other series of preferred stock having the same rank as that series of preferred stock will bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on that series of preferred stock and the other series of preferred stock bear to each other. In addition, generally, unless full dividends including any cumulative dividends still owing on all outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock have been paid, no dividends will be declared or paid on the common stock and generally we may not redeem or purchase any common stock. No interest will be paid in connection with any dividend payment or payments which may be in arrears. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the dividends payable for each dividend period will be computed by annualizing the applicable dividend rate and dividing by the number of dividend periods in a year, except that the amount of dividends payable for the initial dividend period or any period shorter than a full dividend period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and, for any period less than a full month, the actual number of days elapsed in the period. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION If we liquidate, dissolve or wind-up our affairs, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the series of preferred stock, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of common stock. If the amounts payable with respect to preferred stock of any series and any stock having the same rank as that series of preferred stock are not paid in full, the holders of the preferred stock will share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. After the holders of each series of preferred stock having the same rank are paid in full, they will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. Neither the sale of all or substantially all of our property or business nor a merger or consolidation by us with any other corporation will be considered a dissolution, liquidation or winding up by us of our business or affairs. REDEMPTION Any series of preferred stock may be redeemable in whole or in part at our option. In addition, any series of preferred stock may be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to a sinking fund. The redemption provisions that may apply to a series of preferred stock, including the redemption dates and the redemption prices for that series, will be set forth in the related prospectus supplement. 9
If a series of preferred stock is subject to mandatory redemption, the prospectus supplement will specify the year we can begin to redeem shares of the preferred stock, the number of shares of the preferred stock we can redeem each year, and the redemption price per share. We may pay the redemption price in cash, stock or other securities of Honeywell or of third parties, as specified in the prospectus supplement. If the redemption price is to be paid only from the proceeds of the sale of our capital stock, the terms of the series of preferred stock may also provide that if no such capital stock is sold or if the amount of cash received is insufficient to pay in full the redemption price then due, the series of preferred stock will automatically be converted into shares of the applicable capital stock pursuant to conversion provisions specified in the prospectus supplement. If fewer than all the outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock are to be redeemed, whether by mandatory or optional redemption, the board of directors will determine the method for selecting the shares to be redeemed, which may be by lot or pro rata by any other method determined to be equitable. From and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on the shares of preferred stock called for redemption and all rights of the holders of those shares other than the right to receive the redemption price will cease. CONVERSION RIGHTS The prospectus supplement will state any conversion rights under which shares of preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock or another series of preferred stock or other property. As described under ' -- Redemption' above, under certain circumstances preferred stock may be mandatorily converted into common stock or another series of preferred stock. VOTING RIGHTS For most series of preferred stock, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote. Except as indicated in the prospectus supplement, if we issue full shares of any series of preferred stock, each share will be entitled to one vote on matters on which holders of that series of preferred stock are entitled to vote. Because each full share of any series of preferred stock will be entitled to one vote, the voting power of that series will depend on the number of shares in that series, and not on the aggregate liquidation preference or initial offering price of the shares of that series of preferred stock. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR We will appoint a transfer agent, registrar and dividend disbursement agent for the preferred stock. The registrar for the preferred stock will send notices to the holders of the preferred stock of any meeting at which such holders will have the right to elect directors or to vote on any other matter. PERMANENT GLOBAL PREFERRED SECURITIES A series of preferred stock may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the related prospectus supplement. For most series of preferred stock, the depositary will be DTC. A global security may not be transferred except as a whole to the depositary, a nominee of the depositary or their successors unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for preferred stock in individually certificated form. For a description of the depositary arrangements, see 'Book-Entry Issuance'. Any additional terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any series of preferred stock and the rights of and limitations on owners of beneficial interests in a global security representing a series of preferred stock may be described in the related prospectus supplement. 10
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK GENERAL As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2000, we had approximately 957.6 million shares of common stock issued (including approximately 157.5 million shares held in treasury) and had reserved approximately 88.5 million shares of common stock for issuance under various employee or director incentive compensation and option plans. The Bank of New York is the transfer agent and registrar for the common stock. Shares of common stock are listed on the New York, Chicago and Pacific stock exchanges, under the symbol 'HON'. In addition, shares of common stock are listed on the London stock exchange. The following summary is not complete. You should refer to the applicable provision of Honeywell's charter and by-laws and to Delaware corporate law for a complete statement of the terms and rights of the common stock. DIVIDENDS Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available for their payment, subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock outstanding. VOTING RIGHTS Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock pursuant to applicable law or the provision of the certificate of designations creating that series, all voting rights are vested in the holders of shares of common stock. Holders of shares of common stock have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors, and the holders of the remaining shares voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any directors. RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION In the event of Honeywell's voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share equally in any of our assets available for distribution after the payment in full of all debts and distributions and after the holders of any series of outstanding preferred stock have received their liquidation preferences in full. OTHER RIGHTS The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of shares of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. Shares of common stock are not convertible into shares of any other class of capital stock. If we merge or consolidate with or into another company and as a result our common stock is converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of consideration per share of common stock. POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS Honeywell's charter and by-laws provide: for a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as is possible, with the term of one class expiring at the annual meeting in each year; that the board of directors may establish the number of seats on the board, subject to the right of preferred stockholders to elect directors in certain circumstances and shareowners' rights to set the number of seats upon the vote of holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of common stock; 11
that vacancies on the board of directors other than at the annual meeting are filled by a vote of the remaining directors; that special meetings of shareowners generally may be called only by the chief executive officer or by a majority of the authorized number of directors; that action may be taken by shareowners only at annual or special meetings and not by written consent; advance notice must be given to Honeywell for a shareowner to nominate directors for election at a shareowner meeting; that the following actions require approval by holders of 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote: the removal for cause of directors at other than the expiration of their terms; and the amendment or repeal of Honeywell's charter and/or by-law provisions relating to the classified board of directors, the number of seats on the board of directors, the filling of board vacancies, removal of directors for cause, calling of special meetings of shareowners, prohibition of shareowner action by written consent and amendment or repeal of provisions requiring an 80% vote of shareowners. Any of these provisions could delay, deter or prevent a tender offer for or attempted takeover of Honeywell. Honeywell's charter permits us to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock with terms which may be set by our board of directors or a committee of the board. Such preferred stock could have terms that could delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of Honeywell. Under Delaware law, an acquirer of 15% or more of our shares of stock must wait three years before a business combination with us unless one of the following exceptions is available: approval by our board of directors prior to the time the acquirer became a 15% shareowner of Honeywell; acquisition of at least 85% of our voting stock in the transaction in which the acquirer became a 15% shareowner of Honeywell; or approval of the business combination by our board of directors and two-thirds of our disinterested shareowners. BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE Most series of debt securities and preferred stock will be book-entry securities. Upon issuance, all book-entry securities of the same issue will be represented by one or more fully registered global securities. Each global security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or 'DTC', a securities depository, and will be registered in the name of DTC or a nominee of DTC. DTC will thus be the only registered holder of these securities and will be considered the sole owner of the securities. Purchasers may only hold interests in the global securities through DTC if they are a participant in the DTC system. Purchasers may also hold interests through a securities intermediary -- a bank, brokerage house or other institution that maintains securities accounts for customers -- that has an account with DTC or its nominee. DTC will maintain accounts showing the securities holdings of its participants, and these participants will in turn maintain accounts showing the securities holdings of their customers. Some of these customers may themselves be securities intermediaries holding debt securities for their customers. Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will hold that security indirectly through a hierarchy of intermediaries, with DTC at the 'top' and the beneficial owner's own securities intermediary at the 'bottom.' The securities of each beneficial owner of a book-entry security will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the beneficial owner's securities intermediary. The actual purchaser of the 12
securities will generally not be entitled to have the securities represented by the global securities registered in its name and will not be considered the owner. In most cases, a beneficial owner will also not be able to obtain a paper certificate evidencing the holder's ownership of securities. The book-entry system for holding securities eliminates the need for physical movement of certificates. The laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of their securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer book-entry securities. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement with respect to a series of debt securities or preferred stock, a beneficial owner of book-entry securities represented by a global security may exchange the securities for definitive or paper securities only if: DTC is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such global security and Honeywell is unable to find a qualified replacement for DTC within 90 days; at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or Honeywell in its sole discretion decides to allow some or all book-entry securities to be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form. Any global security that is exchangeable will be exchangeable in whole for definitive securities in registered form with the same terms, and in the case of debt securities, in an equal aggregate principal amount in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000. Definitive securities will be registered in the name or names of the person or persons specified by DTC in a written instruction to the registrar of the securities. DTC may base its written instruction upon directions it receives from its participants. In this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement, for book-entry securities, references to actions taken by security holders will mean actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and references to payments and notices of redemption to security holders will mean payments and notices of redemption to DTC as the registered holder of the securities for distribution to participants in accordance with DTC's procedures. DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a 'clearing corporation' within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a 'clearing agency' registered under section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. Honeywell will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the book-entry securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We may sell the securities: through underwriters, through agents, or directly to institutional purchasers. The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following: the name or names of any underwriters; the purchase price and the proceeds we will receive from the sale; any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters' compensation; and any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. 13
If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities of a series if any are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to that agent will be set forth, in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts. These contracts will provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The conditions to these contracts and the commissions payable for solicitation of such contracts will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against civil liabilities arising out of this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make relating to those liabilities. Each series of debt securities or preferred stock will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in the debt securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any debt securities or preferred stock. Shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be listed on the New York, Chicago, Pacific and London stock exchanges. Agents and underwriters may be engaged in transactions with, or perform commercial or investment banking or other services for, us or our subsidiaries or affiliates, in the ordinary course of business. We estimate that our expenses associated with this offering will be approximately $1.2 million, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions. EXPERTS The audited financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Honeywell International Inc. for the year ended December 31, 1999, except as they relate to Honeywell Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc.) as of and for the two years ended December 31, 1998, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, and, insofar as they relate to Honeywell Inc. as of and for the two years ended December 31, 1998, by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent accountants. Such financial statements have been so incorporated in reliance on the reports of such independent accountants given on the authority of such firms as experts in auditing and accounting. With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of Honeywell International Inc. for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 incorporated by reference in this prospectus, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, their separate reports dated May 5, 2000 and July 28, 2000 incorporated by reference in this prospectus, state that they did 14
not audit and did not express an opinion on that unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information because that report is not a 'report' or a 'part' of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act. LEGAL OPINIONS Certain legal matters will be passed upon for Honeywell by J. Edward Smith, Assistant General Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of Honeywell, and for any underwriters by Cravath, Swaine & Moore, New York, New York. Mr. Smith beneficially owns shares of Honeywell common stock and has options to acquire additional shares of Honeywell common stock granted under option plans of Honeywell. In the opinions described above, certain assumptions will be made regarding future action required to be taken by Honeywell and others in connection with the issuance and sale of any particular offered securities, the specific terms of those offered securities and other matters which may affect the validity of those offered securities but which cannot be ascertained on the date of the relevant opinion.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits, proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than action by or in the right of the corporation -- a 'derivative action'), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive or other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, shareowner vote, agreement, or otherwise. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareowners for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for (i) any breach of the director's duly of loyalty to the corporation or its shareowners, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) payment of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Under Article ELEVENTH of Honeywell's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each person who is or was a director or officer of Honeywell, and each director or officer of Honeywell who serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of Honeywell, shall be indemnified by Honeywell to the full extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under the DGCL, to the extent that such a person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a suit or proceeding brought against such person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of Honeywell, or serves or served any other enterprise or organization at the request of Honeywell, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action. If unsuccessful in defense of a third-party civil suit or a criminal suit, or if such a suit is settled, such a person shall be indemnified under such law against both (1) expenses (including attorneys' fees) and (2) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Honeywell, and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. II-1
If unsuccessful in defense of a suit brought by or in the right of Honeywell, or if such suit is settled, such a person shall be indemnified under such law only against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of such suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Honeywell except that if such a person is adjudged to be liable in such suit to Honeywell, such person cannot be made whole even for expenses unless the court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. In addition, Honeywell maintains directors' and officers' reimbursement and liability insurance pursuant to standard form policies. The risks covered by such policies include certain liabilities under the securities laws. ITEM 16. EXHIBITS.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. (a) 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; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement; and II-2
(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; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(b) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. (6) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ('Trust Indenture Act') in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Exhibit 1.1 HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. [TITLE OF SECURITIES] UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT New York, New York To the Representatives named in Schedule I hereto of the Underwriters named in Schedule II hereto Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to sell to the underwriters named in Schedule II hereto (the "Underwriters"), for whom you are acting as representatives (the "Representatives"), the aggregate principal amount set forth in Schedule II hereto of its debt securities identified on Schedule I hereto (the "Purchased Securities"), to be issued under an indenture dated as of October 1, 1985, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of February 1, 1991 and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 1, 1997, each between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee") (as so supplemented, the "Indenture"). 1. Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that: (a) The Company presently meets, and has met at all times since the initial filing referred to below, the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") one or more registration statements on such Form (the file number or file numbers of which are set forth in Schedule I hereto), which have become effective, for the registration under the Act of the Purchased Securities. Such registration statement or registration statements, as amended at the date of the Agreement, meet the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Act and comply in all other material respects with said Rule. The Company proposes to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act a supplement to the form of prospectus included in the most recent such registration statement relating to the Purchased Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has previously advised you of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company to be set forth therein. Such registration statement or registration statements, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is (or, if more than one, are collectively) hereinafter called the "Registration Statement"; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the "Basic Prospectus"; and such supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it shall be first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (including the Basic Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the "Final Prospectus." Any preliminary form of the Final Prospectus which has heretofore been filed pursuant to Rule 424 is hereinafter called the "Preliminary Final Prospectus." Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be; and any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. (b) As of the date hereof, when the Final Prospectus is first filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Act, when, prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), any amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective (including the filing of any document incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), when any supplement to the Final Prospectus is filed with the Commission and at the Closing Date,
(i) the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time and the Indenture will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act, the Exchange Act, and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "Trust Indenture Act") and the respective rules thereunder and (ii) neither the Registration Statement, as amended as of any such time, nor the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented as of any such time, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to (i) that part of the Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) of the Trustee under the Trust Indenture Act or (ii) the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus. 2. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto the principal amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter's name in Schedule II hereto. 3. Delivery and Payment. Delivery of and payment for the Purchased Securities shall be made at the office, on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I hereto (or such later date not later than five business days after such specified date as the Representatives shall designate), which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the "Closing Date"). Delivery of a global certificate (the "Global Note") representing the Purchased Securities shall be made to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters against payment by the several Underwriters through the Representatives of the purchase price thereof to or upon the order of the Company by wire transfer of same-day funds. The Global Note to be delivered to the Representatives shall be deposited with and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). The interests of the owners of the Notes will be represented by book entries on the records of DTC and participating members thereof. Notes in definitive form shall be available only under limited circumstances. 4. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that: (a) Prior to the termination of the offering of the Purchased Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement (including the Final Prospectus) to the Basic Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Company will cause the Final Prospectus to be mailed to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 424 by first class, certified or registered mail or will cause the Final Prospectus to be filed with the Commission pursuant to said Rule. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Final Prospectus shall have been mailed to the Commission for filing or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) when any amendment to the Registration Statement relating to the Purchased Securities shall have become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment of the Registration Statement or amendment of or supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, 2
(iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension or the qualification of the Purchased Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. (b) If, at any time when a Prospectus relating to the Purchased Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (i) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance and (ii) supply any supplemented prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request. (c) The Company will make generally available to its securities holders and to the Representatives as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the end of the 12-month period beginning at the end of the current fiscal quarter of the Company, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) of the Company and its subsidiaries, covering such 12-month period, which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 under the Act. (d) The Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and each amendment thereto which shall become effective on or prior to the Closing Date and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act, as many copies of any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing all documents relating to the offering. (e) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Purchased Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Purchased Securities and will arrange for the determination of the legality of the Purchased Securities for purchase by institutional investors. (f) Until the business day following the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the consent of the Representatives, offer, sell or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of, any debt securities or warrants covered by the Registration Statement or any other registration statement filed under the Act. 5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Purchased Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the date hereof, as of the date of the effectiveness of any amendment to the Registration Statement filed prior to the Closing Date (including the filing of any document incorporated by reference therein) and as of the Closing Date, to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions: (a) No stop order suspending in whole or in part the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended from time to time, shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened; and the Final Prospectus shall have been filed or mailed for filing with the Commission 3

Edward Smith, Esq., Assistant General Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of the Company, or such other counsel to the Company reasonably acceptable to the Representatives, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that: (i) each of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company that is a "significant subsidiary" as defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C promulgated under the Act (each a "Significant Subsidiary" and collectively the "Significant Subsidiaries") has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is chartered or organized with full corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Final Prospectus, and is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction which requires such qualification wherein it owns or leases material properties or conducts material business; (ii) all the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Significant Subsidiary have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Final Prospectus, all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Significant Subsidiaries (except for directors' qualifying shares) are owned by the Company either directly or through wholly-owned subsidiaries free and clear of any perfected security interest and, to the knowledge of such counsel, after due inquiry, any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances; (iii) the Company's authorized equity capitalization is as set forth in the Final Prospectus; the Purchased Securities conform to the description thereof contained in the Final Prospectus; and, if the Purchased Securities are to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, authorization therefor has been given, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution, or the Company has filed a preliminary listing application and all required supporting documents with respect to the Purchased Securities with the New York Stock Exchange and such counsel has no reason to believe that the Purchased Securities will not be authorized for listing, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution; (iv) the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered; the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; the Indenture constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity from time to time in effect; and the Purchased Securities have been duly authorized and, when executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of the Indenture; (v) to the best knowledge of such counsel, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Final Prospectus, and there is no franchise, contract or other document of a character required to be described in the Registration Statement or Final Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit, which is not described or filed as required; and the statements included or incorporated in the Final Prospectus describing any legal proceedings or material contracts or agreements relating to the Company and its subsidiaries fairly summarize the matters therein described; (vi) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto have become effective under the Act; the Final Prospectus has been filed in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424; to the best knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending in whole or in part the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended, has been issued, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened, and the Registration Statement, 4
the Final Prospectus and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto as of their respective effective or issue dates (other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act, and the respective rules thereunder; and such counsel has no reason to believe that each registration statement included in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereof, at the time it became effective and at the date of this Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Final Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (vii) this agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company; (viii) no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been obtained under the Act and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the purchase and distribution of Purchased Securities by the Underwriters and such other approvals (specified in such opinion) as have been obtained; (ix) neither the issue and sale of the Purchased Securities, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions herein contemplated nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof will conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to such counsel to which the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries is a party or bound, or any order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; and (x) no holders of securities of the Company have rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement. In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than the States of Delaware and New York or the United States, to the extent deemed proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing believed to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent deemed proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. (c) The Representatives shall have received from Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities, the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus and other related matters as the Representatives may reasonably require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. (d) The Company shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company signed by the Chief Financial Officer, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer or the Controller of the Company, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signer of such certificate has carefully examined the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus and this Agreement and that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date and the Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) no stop order suspending in whole or in part the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, as amended, has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge, threatened; and 5
(iii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included in the Final Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or other), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Prospectus. (e) At the Closing Date, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have furnished to the Representatives letters (which may refer to letters previously delivered to one or more of the Representatives), dated as of the Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable published rules and regulations thereunder, that the response to Item 10 of the Registration Statement is correct insofar as it relates to them and stating in effect that: (i) in their opinion the audited financial statements, including financial statement schedules, if any, incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus audited by them comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the Exchange Act and the related published rules and regulations with respect to registration statements on Form S-3; (ii) as indicated in their reports, they have made reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants of any unaudited interim consolidated data incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus; (iii) on the basis of certain specified procedures (but not an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) which would not necessarily reveal matters of significance with respect to the comments set forth in such letter consisting of a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, directors and the retirement plans and audit committees of the Company through a specified date not more than five business days prior to the date of delivery of such letter; a reading of any unaudited interim consolidated financial data of the Company incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and the latest consolidated financial data made available by the Company; and inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its subsidiaries, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that: (1) any unaudited interim financial data included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus do not comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Exchange Act as it applies to Form 10-Q and the published rules and regulations thereunder or are not stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus; or (2) with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, there were any changes, at a specified date not more than five business days prior to the date of the letter, in the long-term debt of the Company and its subsidiaries or capital stock of the Company or decreases in the shareholders' equity of the Company and its subsidiaries as compared with the amounts shown on the most recent consolidated balance sheet included or incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, or for the period from the date of the most recent financial statements incorporated in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus to such specified date, if such information is available for such period, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in net sales, in income from continuing operations before taxes on income, income from continuing operations, net income, earnings applicable to common stock or earnings per share of common stock, of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, except in all instances for changes or decreases set forth in such letter, in 6
which case the letter shall be accompanied by an explanation by the Company as to the significance thereof unless said explanation is not deemed necessary by the Representatives; and (3) the letter shall also state that they have carried out certain other specified procedures, not constituting an audit, with respect to certain amounts, percentages and financial information which are included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus and which are specified by the Representatives, and have found such amounts, percentages and financial information to be in agreement with the relevant accounting, financial and other records of the Company and its subsidiaries identified in such letter. (f) Subsequent to the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus, there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraph (e) of this Section 5 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Purchased Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus. (g) Subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company's debt securities by any "nationally reorganized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change. (h) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled in all material respects when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, this Agreement and all obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or telegraph confirmed in writing. The documents required to be delivered by this Section 5 shall be delivered at the office of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Underwriters, at Worldwide Plaza, 825 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York, on the Closing Date. 6. Expenses. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Underwriters that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company's counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Purchased Securities under the Act and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Final Prospectus and the Final Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing any Agreement among Underwriters, this Agreement, the Indenture, the blue sky and legal investment memoranda and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Purchased Securities; (iii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Purchased Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in 7
Section 4(e) hereof, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such qualification and in connection with the blue sky and legal investment surveys; (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Purchased Securities; (v) the filing fees incident to any required review by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. of the terms of the sale of the Purchased Securities; (vi) the cost of preparing the Purchased Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Purchased Securities; and (viii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section. It is understood, however, that, except as provided in this Section, Section 7 and Section 8 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel, transfer taxes on resale of any of the Purchased Securities by them, and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make. 7. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses. If the sale of the Purchased Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Underwriters set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Underwriters, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters severally upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities. 8. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or State statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement included in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Purchased Securities as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto 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 agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and (ii) such indemnity with respect to the Basic Prospectus or any Preliminary Final Prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling such Underwriter) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Underwriter results from the fact that such Underwriter sold Purchased Securities to a person to whom there was not sent or given a copy of the Final Prospectus (or the Final Prospectus as amended or 8
supplemented) excluding documents incorporated therein by reference at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Purchased Securities to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the Act if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such Underwriter. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. (b) Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, officers, employees and agents, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth in [INSERT SECTIONS OF PROSPECTUS PROVIDED BY UNDERWRITERS] in any Preliminary Final Prospectus or the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and you, as the Representatives, confirm that such statements are correct. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of such action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, 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 reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise 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 to so 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 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses 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 8, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii). (d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) of this Section 8 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held by a court to be unavailable on grounds of policy or otherwise, the Company and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection 9
with investigating or defending the same) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion so that the Underwriters are responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount bears to the sum of such discount and the purchase price of the Purchased Securities specified in Schedule I hereto and the Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that (y) in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among Underwriters relating to the offering of the Purchased Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount applicable to the Purchased Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder and (z) 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. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clause (z) of this paragraph (d). Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph (d), notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this paragraph (d). 9. Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Purchased Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Purchased Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Purchased Securities set forth in Schedule II hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Purchased Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Purchased Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding seven days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 10. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Purchased Securities if prior to such time (i) trading in the Company's Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by Federal or New York State authorities or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is involved, or a declaration of war by the Congress of the United States, or other substantial national or international calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United States is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering 10
or delivery of the Purchased Securities as contemplated by the Final Prospectus. 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Purchased Securities.

Honeywell P.O. Box 1057 Morristown, NJ 07962-1057 September 8, 2000 Honeywell International Inc. 101 Columbia Road Morristown, NJ 07962 Ladies and Gentlemen: I am Assistant General Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of Honeywell International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). The Company proposes to issue from time to time in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 up to U.S. $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the "Debt Securities") or common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock") or preferred stock without par value ("Preferred Stock", and collectively with Debt Securities and Common Stock, "Securities") pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement"). As counsel for the Company, I have examined such documents, including the Registration Statement, the Indenture dated as of October 1, 1985 with The Chase Manhattan Bank as supplemented from time to time (the "Indenture"), the restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company and certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") relating to issuance of Securities (the "Resolutions"). I have also reviewed such questions of law as I have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of the opinions set forth below. In rendering the opinions set forth below, I have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to authentic originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. I have also assumed the legal capacity for all purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company, that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such parties and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding, and enforceable obligations of such parties. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, I have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials. I have also assumed that, at the time of the authentication and delivery of Securities, the Resolutions will not have been modified or rescinded, there will not have occurred any change in the law affecting the authorization, execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of such Securities, the Registration Statement will have been declared effective by the Commission and will continue to be effective, none of the particular terms of such Securities will violate any applicable law and neither the issuance and sale thereof nor the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof will result in a violation of any agreement or instrument then binding upon the Company or any order of any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that: 1. With respect to Debt Securities, when the specific terms of a series of Debt Securities of the Company have been specified in (i) an Officer's Certificate of the Company which has been executed and delivered to the trustee by an officer of the Company authorized to do so by the Resolutions, and (ii) if applicable, in a supplemental indenture, such series of Debt Securities will have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and, when executed and authenticated as specified in the Indenture and delivered against payment therefor pursuant to the terms described in the Registration Statement and as specified by an officer of the Company authorized to do so by the Resolutions, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with the terms of such series. This opinion is subject to the following qualifications and exceptions: (a) The opinion is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar law of general application affecting creditors' rights. (b) The opinion is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including (without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and other similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). (c) As of the date of this opinion, a judgment for money in an action based on a Debt Security denominated in a foreign currency or currency unit in a federal or State court in the United States ordinarily would be enforced in the United States only in United States dollars. The date used to determine the rate of conversion into United States dollars of the foreign currency or currency unit in which a particular Debt Security is denominated will depend on various factors, including which court renders the judgment. Under Section 27 of the New York Judiciary Law, a state court in the State of New York rendering a judgment on a Debt Security would be required to render such judgment in the foreign currency or currency unit in which such Debt Security is denominated, and such judgment would be converted into United States dollars at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment. 2. With respect to shares of Common Stock, when certificates representing the shares of Common Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (a) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board or in accordance with the Resolutions upon payment of the consideration therefor (which may not be not be less than the par value of the Common Stock) provided for therein, or (b) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security in accordance with the terms thereof or the instrument governing such Security providing for such conversion, exchange or exercise as approved by the Board or in accordance with the Resolutions, for the consideration thereby approved (which may not be not be less than the par value of the Common Stock), the shares of Common Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. 3. With respect to shares of Preferred Stock, when certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (a) in accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by the Board or in accordance with the Resolutions upon payment of the consideration provided for therein, or (b) upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any other Security in accordance with the terms thereof or the instrument governing such Security providing for such 2
conversion, exchange or exercise as approved by the Board or in accordance with the Resolutions, for the consideration thereby approved, the shares of Preferred Stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. My opinion expressed above is limited to the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America, and I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. I hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and the reference to me under the caption "Legal Opinions". In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933. Very truly yours, /s/ J. Edward Smith J.
