(ii) Bankers Trust Company was also the record owner of
28,219,190 shares (*) held 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 Corporation hereby
disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.

the Plan participants may acquire through the conversion of all
outstanding Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred stock held by the
