Item 1.01.      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 21, 2019, Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand plc (“IR Parent”), issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.800% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 21, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), relating to the 2026 Notes, and as further supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), relating to the 2029 Notes, and as further supplemented by the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), each among the Issuer, IR Parent, Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited, Ingersoll-Rand Lux International Holding Company S.à r.l., Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings Unlimited Company and Ingersoll-Rand Company, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance the proposed acquisition of Precision Flow Systems (the “Acquisition”), to pay expenses related to the offering and for general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the related guarantees have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-221265) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank equally with all of the Issuer’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The guarantees of the Notes are senior unsecured obligations of each Guarantor and rank equally with all of such Guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually on March 21 and September 21, beginning September 21, 2019, to holders of record on the preceding March 6 and September 6. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 21, 2026, the 2029 Notes will mature on March 21, 2029 and the 2049 Notes will mature on March 21, 2049. The Issuer may redeem the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2049 Notes, respectively, in whole or in part at any time prior to January 21, 2026 (two months prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes), December 21, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) and September 21, 2048 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2049 Notes), respectively, at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be redeemed and a “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, the Issuer may redeem the 2026 Notes, the 2029 Notes and the 2049 Notes, respectively, in whole or in part at any time on or after January 21, 2026 (two months prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes), December 21, 2028 (three months prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes) and September 21, 2048 (six months prior to the maturity date of the 2049 Notes), respectively, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to, but not including, the redemption date. In the event of a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), the holders of the Notes may require the Issuer to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. In the event that IR Parent does not complete the proposed Acquisition on or prior to January 31, 2020, or the offer to acquire Precision Flow Systems is terminated at any time prior thereto, the Issuer would be obligated to redeem all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the date of initial issuance or the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the special mandatory redemption date. If, as a result of certain tax law changes, the Issuer or any Guarantor (other than Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited and Ingersoll-Rand Company) would be obligated to pay additional amounts in respect of withholding taxes or certain other tax indemnification payments with respect to any series of the Notes, and such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to the Issuer or such Guarantor, the Issuer or such Guarantor may redeem the Notes of such series in whole, but not in part, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest, and all additional amounts, if any, then due or becoming due on the redemption date. The Notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on IR Parent’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur indebtedness secured by certain liens and to engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions, and on each of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ ability to consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all of its assets to, another person. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions.
Copies of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture are included with this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1, 4.3 and 4.5, respectively, and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, 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 been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel or participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties, and, upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the preceding proviso (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 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action, unless the indemnified parties shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that representation of such indemnified parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses

15






between them). No indemnifying party will (i) without the prior written consent of each of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantors bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e)
The obligations of the Company and the Guarantors under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to any affiliate of each Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any

16






Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company) and the Guarantors and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of the Act.
10.
(a)    If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Representatives or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty‑six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty‑six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments to the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.
(b)
If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one‑tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non‑defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non‑defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
(c)
If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one‑tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non‑defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non‑defaulting Underwriter or the Company or any Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriter as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
11.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or any Guarantor, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company or any Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

17






12.
If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company and the Guarantors shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.
13.
In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to you as the representatives at (i) in care of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel, Facsimile: (646) 291-1469; (ii) Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282-2198, Attention: Registration Department, (iii) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, fax: 212 834 6081; Attention: Investment Grade Syndicate Desk, and (iv) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, 50 Rockefeller Plaza, NY 1-050-12-02, New York, New York 10020, Facsimile: (646) 855-5958, Attention: High Grade Transaction Management/Legal, and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Prospectus, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel; if to a Guarantor shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of such Guarantor set forth in the Prospectus, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
14.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantors and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and the Guarantors and each person who controls the Company, any Guarantor or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
15.
Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
16.
Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Guarantor, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Guarantor with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or any Guarantor on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or any Guarantor except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) each of the Company and the Guarantors has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature

18






or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
18. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it brought by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, County of New York (each a “New York Court”), and waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Each Underwriter agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it brought by the Company, any Guarantor, or the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of the Company or any Guarantor, or by any person who controls the Company or any Guarantor, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any New York Court, and waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantors has appointed Ingersoll-Rand Company as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any New York Court, by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and each of the Company and the Guarantors agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable. To the extent that the Company or any Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court (including, without limitation, any court in the United States, the State of New York, Luxembourg, Ireland or any political subdivision thereof) or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property or assets, this Agreement, or any other documents or actions to enforce judgments in respect of any thereof, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, and any defense based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations under the above-referenced documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the full extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.
19.
Each of the Company, the Guarantors and the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
20.
This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
21.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (and the Company’s employees, representatives, and other agents) are authorized to disclose to any and all persons, the tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters’ imposing any limitation of any

19






kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means US federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
22.
a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
As used in this Section 22:
“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).
“Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us five counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the Underwriters, the Company and the Guarantors. It is understood that your acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriter is pursuant to the authority set forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the Company for examination upon request, but without warranty on your part as to the authority of the signers thereof.

If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:
 
 
(1)
any jurisdiction from or through which payment on the Senior Notes or the applicable Guarantee is made in respect of interest, premium or principal, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or
 
 
(2)
any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clauses (1) and (2), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
shall at any time be required from any payments made with respect to the Senior Notes in respect of interest, premium or principal, the Payor shall pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner of the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), equal the amounts which would have

6    




been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided , however , that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
 
 
(1)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member, shareholder or other holder of equity interests of, or possessor of power over the relevant beneficial owner, if the relevant beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the beneficial owner being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than by the mere ownership or holding of such note or enforcement of rights thereunder or under the Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;
 
 
(2)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the beneficial owner had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ( provided  that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant beneficial owner at that time has been notified by the Payor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required to be made);
 
 
(3)
any note presented for payment (where presentation is permitted or required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the beneficial owner (except to the extent that the beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented during such 30 day period);
 
 
(4)
any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Senior Notes or under the Guarantee;
 

7    




 
(5)
any estate, inheritance, gift, value, use, sale, excise, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
 
 
 
 
(6)
any Taxes which could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or
 
 
 
 
(7)
any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code, or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance in any other jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto;

 
 
 
 
(8)

any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005 as amended, introducing a withholding tax on certain interest payments made or ascribed by Luxembourg paying agents to Luxembourg resident individuals; or

 
 
 
 
(9)

any Taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (1) through (8) above.

Such Additional Amounts shall also not be payable where, had the beneficial owner of the note been the Holder of the note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (1) to (9) inclusive above.
The Payor shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Payor shall attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Senior Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Senior Notes upon request and shall be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Payor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the

8    




payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.
If the Payor conducts business in any jurisdiction (an “Additional Taxing Jurisdiction”) other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and, as a result, is required by the law of such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold any amount on account of taxes imposed by such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction from payments under the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, which would not have been required to be so deducted or withheld but for such conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, the Additional Amounts provision described above shall be considered to apply to such Holders or beneficial owners as if references in such provision to “Taxes” included taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding by any such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof or governmental authority therein).
Wherever in the Indenture, the Senior Notes or the Guarantee there are mentioned, in any context:
 
 
(1)
the payment of principal or premium (if any),
 
 
(2)
purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Senior Notes,
 
 
(3)
interest, or
 
 
(4)
any other amount payable on or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee,
such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The Payor shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of any Senior Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Senior Notes), or the receipt of any payments with respect to the notes or the guarantee, excluding (i) any such taxes, charges’ or similar levies imposed by Luxembourg in case the notes or the guarantee (and/or any documents in connection therewith) are (a) enclosed to a compulsorily registrable deed (acte obligatoirement enregistrable) or (b) deposited with the official records of a notary (déposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire) and (ii) any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes.
The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a

9    




Payor is organized or otherwise considered a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or governmental authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 208.      Offer to Redeem Upon Change of Control Triggering Event .
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Senior Notes in full, each Holder of the Senior Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Senior Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Senior Notes by virtue of such conflict.

The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event.

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company will be required to send, by electronic delivery or first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, a notice to each Holder of the Securities of this series, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice will govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer.

Holders electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Securities, with the form below entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities to the paying agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the paying agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of properly tendered Securities the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Securities equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all properly tendered Securities of this series not withdrawn under its offer.
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event.

been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided , however , that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
 
 
(1)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member, shareholder or other holder of equity interests of, or possessor of power over the relevant beneficial owner, if the relevant beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the beneficial owner being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than by the mere ownership or holding of such note or enforcement of rights thereunder or under the Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;
 
 
(2)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the beneficial owner had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ( provided  that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant beneficial owner at that time has been notified by the Payor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required to be made);
 
 
(3)
any note presented for payment (where presentation is permitted or required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the beneficial owner (except to the extent that the beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented during such 30 day period);
 
 
(4)
any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Senior Notes or under the Guarantee;
 

7    




 
(5)
any estate, inheritance, gift, value, use, sale, excise, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
 
 
 
 
(6)
any Taxes which could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or
 
 
 
 
(7)

any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code, or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance in any other jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto;

 
 
 
 
(8)

any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005 as amended, introducing a withholding tax on certain interest payments made or ascribed by Luxembourg paying agents to Luxembourg resident individuals; or

 
 
 
 
(9)

any Taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (1) through (8) above.


Such Additional Amounts shall also not be payable where, had the beneficial owner of the note been the Holder of the note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (1) to (9) inclusive above.
The Payor shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Payor shall attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Senior Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Senior Notes upon request and shall be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Payor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.

8    




If the Payor conducts business in any jurisdiction (an “Additional Taxing Jurisdiction”) other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and, as a result, is required by the law of such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold any amount on account of taxes imposed by such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction from payments under the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, which would not have been required to be so deducted or withheld but for such conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, the Additional Amounts provision described above shall be considered to apply to such Holders or beneficial owners as if references in such provision to “Taxes” included taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding by any such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof or governmental authority therein).
Wherever in the Indenture, the Senior Notes or the Guarantee there are mentioned, in any context:
 
 
(1)
the payment of principal or premium (if any),
 
 
(2)
purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Senior Notes,
 
 
(3)
interest, or
 
 
(4)
any other amount payable on or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee,
such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The Payor shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of any Senior Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Senior Notes), or the receipt of any payments with respect to the notes or the guarantee, excluding (i) any such taxes, charges’ or similar levies imposed by Luxembourg in case the notes or the guarantee (and/or any documents in connection therewith) are (a) enclosed to a compulsorily registrable deed (acte obligatoirement enregistrable) or (b) deposited with the official records of a notary (déposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire) and (ii) any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes.
The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or otherwise considered a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or governmental authority or agency thereof or therein.

Section 208.      Offer to Redeem Upon Change of Control Triggering Event .
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has previously exercised its right to redeem the Senior Notes in full, each Holder of the Senior Notes shall have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of the Senior Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.
Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurred, or at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of the pending Change of Control, the Company shall be required to send, by electronic delivery or first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the U.S. Depositary, a notice to each Holder of the Senior Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, which notice shall govern the terms of the Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state:
(i) (a) if delivered or mailed following the date upon which a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred, that a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that such Holder of the Senior Notes has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of the Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date), or (b) if delivered or mailed prior to any Change of Control but after the public announcement of a pending Change of Control, that a Change of Control is pending and, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, such Holder of the Senior Notes has the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Senior Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of the Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date) and that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date;
(ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Triggering Event;
(iii) the purchase date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered or mailed, other than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); and
(iv) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section, that a Holder of the Senior Notes must follow in order to have its Senior Notes purchased.
Holders of the Senior Notes electing to have Senior Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender their Senior Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of the Senior Notes completed, to the

10    




Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Senior Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the Paying Agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of the Senior Notes shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Paying Agent receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date a telegram, telex facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Senior Notes and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Senior Notes purchased.
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
1.
accept for payment all Senior Notes (or portions of Senior Notes) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; provided that the unpurchased portion of any Senior Note must be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
2.
deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate payment in respect of all Senior Notes (or portions of Senior Notes) properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and
3.
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Senior Notes properly accepted for purchase, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (or portions of Senior Notes) being purchased.
The Paying Agent shall promptly mail or transfer to each Holder of Senior Notes properly tendered the purchase price for the Senior Notes, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each such Holder new Senior Notes equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Senior Notes surrendered; provided that each new Senior Note shall be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Senior Note shall be deemed to have been accepted for purchase at the time the Paying Agent mails or delivers payment therefor to the Surrendering Holder.
The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements in this Section 208 for such an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Senior Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Senior Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Senior Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Senior Notes by virtue of such conflict.

11    




Each of the Company and Guarantors shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that at all times at least two Rating Agencies are providing a rating for the Senior Notes.

1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of IR Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) other than to IR Parent or one of its subsidiaries;
2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Stock of IR Parent, or other Voting Stock into which the Voting Stock of IR Parent is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares;
3) the first day on which the majority of the members of the board of directors of IR Parent cease to be Continuing Directors;
4) IR Parent consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, IR Parent, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the outstanding Voting Stock of IR Parent or such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Voting Stock of IR Parent outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

12    




5) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of IR Parent; or
6) the failure of IR Parent to own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the Voting Stock of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction shall not be deemed to involve a Change of Control under clause (2) above if (i) IR Parent becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company and (ii) the shares of the Voting Stock of IR Parent outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately after giving effect to such transaction.
“Change of Control Triggering Event” means, with respect to the Senior Notes, the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event with respect to the Senior Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event shall be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.
“Continuing Director” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors of IR Parent who: (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Senior Notes; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election.
“Fitch” means Fitch Inc., a subsidiary of Fimalac, S.A., and its successors.
“Investment Grade” means (1) a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s); (2) a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P); and (3) a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch).

If any deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of:
 
 
(1)
any jurisdiction from or through which payment on the Senior Notes or the applicable Guarantee is made in respect of interest, premium or principal, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax; or
 
 
(2)
any other jurisdiction in which a Payor is organized or otherwise considered to be a resident for tax purposes, or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof or therein having the power to tax (each of clauses (1) and (2), a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”),
shall at any time be required from any payments made with respect to the Senior Notes in respect of interest, premium or principal, the Payor shall pay (together with such payments) such additional amounts (the “Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received in respect of such payments by each beneficial owner of the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, after such withholding or deduction (including any such deduction or withholding from such Additional Amounts), equal the amounts which would have

6    




been received in respect of such payments in the absence of such withholding or deduction; provided , however , that no such Additional Amounts shall be payable with respect to:
 
 
(1)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between the beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member, shareholder or other holder of equity interests of, or possessor of power over the relevant beneficial owner, if the relevant beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (including the beneficial owner being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in, or being physically present in, the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction) other than by the mere ownership or holding of such note or enforcement of rights thereunder or under the Guarantee or the receipt of payments in respect thereof;
 
 
(2)
any Taxes that would not have been so imposed if the beneficial owner had made a declaration of non-residence or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled ( provided  that (x) such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required by the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from the requirement to deduct or withhold such Taxes and (y) at least 30 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which such declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required under the applicable law of the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, the relevant beneficial owner at that time has been notified by the Payor or any other person through whom payment may be made that a declaration of non-residence or other claim or filing for exemption is required to be made);
 
 
(3)
any note presented for payment (where presentation is permitted or required) more than 30 days after the relevant payment is first made available for payment to the beneficial owner (except to the extent that the beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the note been presented during such 30 day period);
 
 
(4)
any Taxes that are payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction from a payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Senior Notes or under the Guarantee;
 
 
(5)
any estate, inheritance, gift, value, use, sale, excise, transfer, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
 
 
 
 
(6)
any Taxes which could have been avoided by the presentation (where presentation is required) of the relevant note to another Paying Agent in a member state of the European Union; or


7    




 
(7)

any withholding or deduction required pursuant to an agreement described in Section 1471(b) of the Code, or otherwise imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any official interpretations thereof, or any treaty, law, regulation or other official guidance in any other jurisdiction implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto;


 
(8)


any withholding or deduction imposed pursuant to the Luxembourg law of 23 December 2005 as amended, introducing a withholding tax on certain interest payments made or ascribed by Luxembourg paying agents to Luxembourg resident individuals; or



 
(9)



any Taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (1) through (8) above.




Such Additional Amounts shall also not be payable where, had the beneficial owner of the note been the Holder of the note, it would not have been entitled to payment of Additional Amounts by reason of any of clauses (1) to (9) inclusive above.
The Payor shall (i) make any required withholding or deduction and (ii) remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in accordance with applicable law. The Payor shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction imposing such Taxes and shall provide such certified copies to each Holder. The Payor shall attach to each certified copy a certificate stating (x) that the amount of withholding Taxes evidenced by the certified copy was paid in connection with payments in respect of the principal amount of Senior Notes then outstanding and (y) the amount of such withholding Taxes paid per $1,000 principal amount of the Senior Notes. Copies of such documentation shall be available for inspection during ordinary business hours at the office of the Trustee by the Holders of the Senior Notes upon request and shall be made available at the offices of the Paying Agent.
At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee is due and payable (unless such obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises shortly before or after the 30th day prior to such date, in which case it shall be promptly thereafter), if the Payor shall be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Payor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts shall be payable, the amounts so payable and shall set forth such other information necessary to enable the Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders on the payment date. Each such Officer’s Certificate shall be relied upon until receipt of a further Officers’ Certificate addressing such matters.

8    




If the Payor conducts business in any jurisdiction (an “Additional Taxing Jurisdiction”) other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction and, as a result, is required by the law of such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction to deduct or withhold any amount on account of taxes imposed by such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction from payments under the Senior Notes or the Guarantee, as the case may be, which would not have been required to be so deducted or withheld but for such conduct of business in such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction, the Additional Amounts provision described above shall be considered to apply to such Holders or beneficial owners as if references in such provision to “Taxes” included taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding by any such Additional Taxing Jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof or governmental authority therein).
Wherever in the Indenture, the Senior Notes or the Guarantee there are mentioned, in any context:
 
 
(1)
the payment of principal or premium (if any),
 
 
(2)
purchase prices in connection with a purchase of Senior Notes,
 
 
(3)
interest, or
 
 
(4)
any other amount payable on or with respect to the Senior Notes or the Guarantee,
such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this section to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
The Payor shall pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes, or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise in any jurisdiction from the execution, delivery or registration of any Senior Notes or any other document or instrument referred to therein (other than a transfer of the Senior Notes), or the receipt of any payments with respect to the notes or the guarantee, excluding (i) any such taxes, charges’ or similar levies imposed by Luxembourg in case the notes or the guarantee (and/or any documents in connection therewith) are (a) enclosed to a compulsorily registrable deed (acte obligatoirement enregistrable) or (b) deposited with the official records of a notary (déposé au rang des minutes d’un notaire) and (ii) any such taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, other than those resulting from, or required to be paid in connection with, the enforcement of the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or any other such document or instrument following the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes.
The foregoing obligations shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor to a Payor is organized or otherwise considered a resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or governmental authority or agency thereof or therein.

Holders electing to have Securities purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Securities, with the form below entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” completed, to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Securities to the paying agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of the paying agent, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of such conflict.

Ingersoll-Rand plc

Swords, Co. Dublin
Ireland
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as United States counsel to Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish public limited company (“IR-plc”), Ingersoll-Rand Lux International Holding Company S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company ( société à responsabilité limitée ) (“Lux International”), Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited, a Delaware corporation (“IR-Global”), Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings Unlimited Company, an Irish private unlimited company (“Irish Holdings”) and Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (“IR-Company” and, together with IR-plc, Lux International and Irish Holdings, the “Non-Delaware Guarantors” and, the Non-Delaware Guarantors together with IR-Global, the “Guarantors”) and Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A., a Luxembourg public company limited by shares ( société anonyme ) (the “Issuer” and, together with the Guarantors, the “IR Entities”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S‑3 (File No. 333-221265) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the IR Entities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Issuer from time to time of debt securities and the issuance by the Guarantors of guarantees with respect to such debt securities.




Ingersoll-Rand plc    -2-    March 21, 2019


We have examined the Registration Statement; the Underwriting Agreement, dated March 19, 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the underwriters named therein pursuant to which such underwriters have agreed to purchase $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.800% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”) issued by the Issuer and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors; the Indenture, dated as of February 21, 2018 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the fourth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “2026 Notes Supplemental Indenture”), relating to the 2026 Notes, as further supplemented by the fifth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture”), relating to the 2029 Notes and as further supplemented by the sixth supplemental indenture, dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “2049 Notes Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2026 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture, the “Supplemental Indentures” and, the Supplemental Indentures together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), relating to the 2049 Notes, each among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”); duplicates of the global notes representing the Notes; and the guarantees annexed to the Notes (the “Guarantees”). In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the IR Entities and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth.



Ingersoll-Rand plc    -3-    March 21, 2019


In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. We also have assumed that the Indenture is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Trustee.
In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed further that (1) the Issuer and each Non-Delaware Guarantor is validly existing and in good standing under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and its Guarantee, as applicable, in accordance with its organizational documents and the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized, (2) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by the Issuer and each Non-Delaware Guarantor of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and its Guarantee, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or violation of its organizational documents or violate the law of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the law of the State of New York or the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”)) and (3) the execution, issuance, delivery and performance by the Issuer and each Guarantor of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes and its Guarantee, as applicable, do not constitute a breach or default under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon the Issuer or any such Guarantor.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Assuming due authentication thereof by the Trustee and upon payment and delivery in accordance with the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes will constitute



Ingersoll-Rand plc    -4-    March 21, 2019


valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.
2.      Assuming due authentication of the Notes by the Trustee and upon payment for and delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement, the Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Guarantors enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.
Our opinions set forth above are subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (iv) to the effects of the possible judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental or judicial action affecting creditors’ rights. In addition, we express no opinion as to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of (i) the waiver of rights and defenses contained in Sections 117(b) and 1301(b) of the Base Indenture or (ii) Section 110 of the Base Indenture and Section 304 of each of the Supplemental Indentures relating to the severability of provisions of the Indenture.
In connection with the provisions of the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement whereby the parties submit to the jurisdiction of any U.S. federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, we note the limitations of 28 U.S.C. Sections 1331 and 1332 on subject matter jurisdiction of the U.S. federal courts. In connection with the provisions of the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement which relate to forum selection (including, without limitation, any waiver of any objection to venue or any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum), we note that under N.Y.C.P.L.R. Section 510 a New York State court may have discretion to transfer the place of trial, and under 28 U.S.C. Section 1404(a) a United States District Court has discretion to transfer an action from one U.S. federal court to another. We also note that the recognition and enforcement



Ingersoll-Rand plc    -5-    March 21, 2019


in New York State courts or U.S. federal courts sitting in the State of New York of a foreign judgment obtained against the Issuer and the Guarantors is subject to the Uniform Foreign Money—Judgments Recognition Act (53 C.P.L.R. §5301 et. seq.).
We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the law of the State of New York and the DGCL.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of IR-plc filed with the Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes by the Issuer and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Guarantors and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement.

4.
Qualifications
The opinions set out in this Opinion are subject to the following reservations:
General Matters
4.1
A determination or a certificate as to any matter provided for in the Transaction Documents may be held by an Irish court not to be final, conclusive or binding if such determination or certificate could be shown to have an unreasonable, incorrect or arbitrary basis or not to have been given or made in good faith.
4.2
Where a party to a Transaction Document is vested with a discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, Irish law may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or that such opinion is based upon reasonable grounds.
4.3
A particular course of dealing among the parties or an oral amendment, variation or waiver may result in an Irish court finding that the terms of the Transaction Documents have been amended, varied or waived even if such course of dealing or oral amendment, variation or waiver is not reflected in writing among the parties.
4.4
No opinion is expressed on any deed of assignment, transfer, accession or similar document executed after the date of this opinion in relation to any of the rights and obligations contained in the Transaction Documents.
4.5
No opinion is expressed on any deed or agreement envisaged by the Transaction Documents to be entered at a future date or any future action taken by a party under the Transaction Documents.
4.6
An Irish court may refuse to give effect to any undertaking contained in the Transaction Documents that one party would pay another party’s legal expenses and costs in respect of any action before the courts of Ireland particularly where such an action is unsuccessful.
Judgments
4.7
There is a possibility that an Irish court would hold that a judgment on the Transaction, whether given in an Irish court or elsewhere, would supersede the relevant agreement or instrument to all intents and purposes, so that any obligation thereunder which by its terms would survive such judgment might not be held to do so.
Due Diligence and Searches
4.8
We have not investigated the nature of or the title to property and assets the subject of the Transaction Documents or insurance, merger/competition, regulatory or environmental status or compliance nor have we considered any implications or perfection or other requirements arising in respect thereof. Other than the Searches, we have not conducted any other searches whatsoever. We have conducted no due diligence nor checked the regulatory status or compliance of either Company or any of its affiliates or shareholders, or banks, or any other person. We have not conducted any due diligence on the status of any person, and in particular have not considered any due diligence on any of the Purchasers, or enquired or investigated as to whether they hold appropriate licenses or approvals.
Execution of Documents
4.9
We note the decision in the English case of R (on the application of Mercury Tax Ltd) v. Revenue and Customs Commissioners [2008] EWHC 2721. Although this decision will not be binding on the courts of Ireland it will be considered as persuasive authority. One of the decisions in that case would appear to indicate that a previously executed signature page from one document may not be transferred to another document, even where the documents in question are simply updated versions of the same document. Our Opinion is qualified by reference to the above referenced decision.
Sanctions
4.10
If a party to any Transaction Document is, or any payment pursuant to any Transaction Document is made to, by or in respect of, a person:
(a)
listed on or owned or controlled by a person listed on a list maintained by a sanctions authority or a person acting on behalf of such a person;
(b)
located in or organised under the laws of a country or territory that is, or whose government is, the subject of country-wide or territory-wide sanctions (or a person owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, such a person); or
(c)
otherwise a subject of or target of sanctions,



then performance of certain obligations to that party, or dealing with payments to and from that party, may be prohibited under sanctions law with any breach of sanctions law also resulting in prosecution and penalties.

Yours faithfully,

Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special New Jersey counsel to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (the “ Co-Guarantor ”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “ Registration Statement ”), filed on November 1, 2017 by Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A., a Luxembourg public company limited by shares (société anonyme) (“ Issuer ”), Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited, a Delaware corporation (“ IR Global ”), Ingersoll-Rand Public Limited Company, an Ireland public limited company (“ IR plc ”), Ingersoll-Rand Lux International Holding Company S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) (“ Lux International ”), Ingersoll-Rand Irish Holdings Unlimited Company, an Ireland private unlimited company (“ Irish Holdings ”) and the Co-Guarantor (collectively with IR Global, IR plc, Lux International and Irish Holdings, the “ Guarantors ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “ Act ”). The Registration Statement relates to, among other things, the registration under the Securities Act, and the issuance and sale pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, of (i) senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $400,000,000 which will bear interest at 3.500% and will mature on March 21, 2026 (the “ 2026 Notes ”), (ii) senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 which will bear interest at 3.800% and will mature on March 21, 2029 (the “ 2029 Notes ”) and (iii) senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000,000 which will bear interest at 4.500% and will mature on March 21, 2049 (the “ 2049 Notes ”; and collectively with the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes, the

Notes ”) to be issued by the Issuer and the guarantees (the “ Guarantees ”) of the Guarantors with respect to the same. The Notes and the Guarantees are to be issued under an Indenture dated as of February 21, 2018 (the “ Base Indenture ”) by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “ Trustee ”), as supplemented, including by (1) the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “ Fourth Supplemental Indenture ”) by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee relating to the 2026 Notes, (2) the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “ Fifth Supplemental Indenture ”) by and among the Issuer the Guarantors and the Trustee relating to the 2029 Notes and (3) the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 21, 2019 (the “ Sixth Supplemental Indenture ”; and together with the Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the “ Supplemental Indentures ”; the Base Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures are referred to herein as the “ Indenture ”) by and among the Issuer the Guarantors and the Trustee relating to the 2049 Notes. The form of the Indenture was filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The Guarantees will be issued in the form set forth as an exhibit to the Indenture. This opinion is being delivered in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of:
(i)
the Registration Statement;

the Prospectus Supplement to the Prospectus dated November 1, 2017 relating to the Notes;
(iii)
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Co-Guarantor, as amended to date;

Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A., and others

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Co-Guarantor and such agreements, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Co-Guarantor, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth herein.
In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, electronic or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Co-Guarantor and others. In making our examination of executed documents or documents to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Co-Guarantor, have the power, corporate or otherwise, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents, and, as to parties including the Co-Guarantor, the validity and binding effect on such parties. We have assumed that the Notes will be manually signed or countersigned, as the case may be, by duly authorized officers of the Trustee. In addition, we have also assumed that the terms of the Notes and Guarantees do not, and that the execution and delivery by the Co-Guarantor of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Indenture and the Guarantees will not, violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) any law, rule or regulation to which the Co-Guarantor is subject (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (i) with respect to the Opined on Law (as defined below)), (ii) any judicial or regulatory order or decree of any governmental authority (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (ii) with respect to the Opined on Law) or (iii) any consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with any governmental authority (except that we do not make the assumption set forth in this clause (iii) with respect to the Opined on Law).
Our opinions set forth below are limited to the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “ NJBCA ”) and to the extent that judicial or regulatory orders or decrees or consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, validations, filings, recordings or registrations with governmental authorities are relevant, to those required under the NJBCA (all of the foregoing being referred to as “ Opined on Law ”). We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Opined on Law or as to the effect of any such non-Opined on Law on the opinions herein stated. Further, we have assumed that the Indenture has been and continues to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect.


Ingersoll-Rand Luxembourg Finance S.A., and others

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that (i) the Issuer and Lux International have been duly organized and are validly existing under the laws of Luxembourg, IR plc and Irish Holdings have been duly organized and are validly existing under the laws of Ireland and IR Global has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of Delaware, (ii) the Issuer and each Guarantor (other than the Co-Guarantor) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture, in each case in accordance with its respective organization documents and the laws of Luxembourg, in the case of the Issuer and Lux International, the laws of Ireland, in the case of IR plc and Irish Holdings and the laws of Delaware in the case of IR Global, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer and each Guarantor of the Indenture does not and will not violate the laws of Luxembourg, in the case of the Issuer and Lux International, the laws of Ireland, in the case of IR plc and Irish Holdings and the laws of Delaware in the case of IR Global, or the laws of any other jurisdiction (except that no such assumption is made with respect to the laws of the State of New Jersey), and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer and each Guarantor (other than the Co-Guarantor) of the Indenture does not and will not constitute a breach or violation of, or require any consent to be obtained under, any agreement or instrument which is binding upon such Issuer or such Guarantor or its respective organizational documents.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the other qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1.
The Co-Guarantor is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The Co-Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Indenture and the Guarantees.
2.
The Indenture and the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Co-Guarantor and are legal, valid and binding obligations of the Co-Guarantor, enforceable against the Co-Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We also hereby consent to the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.
