(ii) Bankers Trust Company was also the record owner of
26,179,098 shares(*) held for as Trustee of the
United Technologies Corp Employee Savings Plan
(the "Plan") with respect to which the bank
disclaims beneficial ownership. The Plan states
that each Plan participant shall have the right to
direct the manner in which shares of common stock
shall be voted at all stockholders' meetings. The
Department of Labor has expressed the view that,
under certain circumstances, ERISA may require the
Trustee to vote shares which are not allocated to
participants' accounts. Since, in the view
of the Bank and Bankers Trust New York
Corporation, such voting power is merely a
residual power based upon the occurrence of an
unlikely contingency and is not a sole or shared
power to vote the securities, the Bank and Bankers
Trust New York Corporation hereby disclaim
beneficial ownership of such securities.

(*) This balance includes 26,174,428 shares of common stock
which the Plan participants may acquire through the
conversion of all outstanding Series A ESOP Convertible
