the purchased Notes from the applicable last interest payment date to, but not including, the date of payment for purchased Notes.

     Honeywell’s obligation to accept and pay for the Notes validly tendered in the Offer is conditioned on, among other things, the concurrent successful offering of new senior notes (the “New Notes”) and that the net proceeds of the New Notes are sufficient to purchase the Notes validly tendered in the Offer.

     Honeywell intends to finance the payment for the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer with a portion of the proceeds raised from the New Notes. Honeywell has reserved the right to terminate, withdraw, amend or extend the Offer in its discretion.

     BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays Capital, and Citi are acting as dealer managers (the “Dealer Managers”), and Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as information agent (the “Information Agent”), each for the Offer. Holders of the Notes can obtain copies of the Offer to Purchase and related materials from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, 65 Broadway, Suite 404, New York, New York 10006, Attn: Corporate Actions. Banks and Brokers may call: (866) 470-3900 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).

Questions regarding the solicitation can be directed to BofA Merrill Lynch at (888) 292-0070 (toll free) or (646) 855-3401 (collect), Barclays Capital at (800) 438-3242 (toll-free) or (212) 528-7581 (collect), Citi at (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect).

Neither Honeywell, nor any Dealer Manager or the Information Agent make any recommendations as to whether holders should tender their Notes pursuant to the Offer, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such recommendations. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender the Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

This press release is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase, or an offer to sell any New Notes. The Offer is being made only pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase, and the related letter of transmittal. In any jurisdiction where the laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer will be deemed made on behalf of Honeywell by the Dealer Managers, or one or more registered broker or dealers under the laws of such jurisdiction.
