Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for Honeywell by Jacqueline Whorms Katzel, Esq., Assistant General Counsel, Corporate Finance, of Honeywell. As of June 30, 2011, Ms. Katzel beneficially owned 620 shares of Honeywell common stock through the Honeywell Savings and Ownership Plan. In aggregate, Ms. Katzel had 10,619 restricted units and options to acquire 23,000 shares of Honeywell common stock and 7,625 of such options had vested as of June 30, 2011.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
In general, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify a person who is made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation (a “derivative action”)) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation (a “Covered Proceeding”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such Covered Proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she 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 his or her conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably 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. To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of a Covered Proceeding, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification rights 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 include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director 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 duty 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.
Article Eleventh of Honeywell’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors of Honeywell to the fullest extent permitted by DGCL Section 102(b)(7). In addition, Article Eleventh provides that each person who is or was a director or officer of Honeywell, and each person who serves or served at the request of Honeywell as a director or officer of another corporation, shall be indemnified and held harmless by Honeywell to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
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.
The Plan provides that no member of the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Honeywell (the “Committee”), nor any person acting as a delegate of the Committee with respect to the Plan, will be liable for any losses resulting from any action, interpretation or construction made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award granted under the Plan. The Plan also provides that Honeywell will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person, or the executor or administrator of the person’s estate, is or was a member of the Committee or a delegate of the Committee.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) 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;
(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
(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 (1)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(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 with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) 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.
(2) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
