PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE
FOR THE 2022-2024 PERFORMANCE PERIOD
UNDER THE
INGERSOLL RAND INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
Ingersoll Rand Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to its Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), hereby grants to the Participant set forth below the number of Performance Stock Units (at target) set forth below. The Performance Stock Units are subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein, in the Global Award Agreement (PSUs) attached hereto (the “Award Agreement”), and in the Plan, all of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
						
	Participant:
	[Insert Name of Participant]

	Date of Grant: 	[Insert Date of Grant]

	Vesting Commencement Date:	January 1, 2022

	Target Number of Performance Stock Units Subject to Award:	[Insert No. of PSUs Granted]



Vesting Schedule:
The number of Performance Stock Units that will vest will be determined by applying the applicable percentage in the table below to the target number of Performance Stock Units awarded hereunder, based on the performance percentile ranking in the table:
						
	Performance Percentile Ranking	Percentage of Target Number of Performance Stock Units That Vest
	Less than or equal to 35th percentile
	0%
	35th percentile
	50%
	Above 35th but below 55th percentile
	Linear interpolation between 50% and 100%
	55th percentile
	100%
	Above 55th but below 75th percentile
	Linear interpolation between 100% and 200%
	75th percentile or greater
	200%


Payout is capped at 100% if the Company’s TSR (as defined below) is negative.
The Company’s TSR percentile rank relative to the Peer Group for the Performance Period shall be calculated using the Microsoft Excel function PERCENTRANK.EXC.
The minimum number of Performance Stock Units that may vest is zero and the maximum number of Performance Stock Units that may vest is 200% of the target number of Performance Stock Units granted hereunder. No Performance Stock Units will vest if the percentile rank is below the 35th percentile (and all such Performance Stock Units will be automatically forfeited). 
The date on which such Performance Stock Units vest shall be the date on which the Committee certifies the performance percentile ranking achieved (the “Certification Date”) (which certification will occur as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 60 days, following the end of the Performance Period) but, except as is otherwise specifically provided in Section 2 of the Award Agreement or the pro-rata Approved Retirement vesting provision set forth immediately below, such vesting shall be subject to either (i) the Participant’s continuous service with the Service Recipient on such vesting date or (ii) a Qualifying Termination, a Termination due to the Participant’s death or Disability, or a Termination due to the Participant’s Approved Retirement occurring after the expiration of the Performance Period and before such vesting date. Any Performance Stock Units that do not vest are automatically forfeited, effective as of the last day of the Performance Period.
Continued Pro-Rata Vesting Following Approved Retirement.  If, after the Vesting Commencement Date, the Participant’s continuous service with the Service Recipient terminates due to the Participant’s Approved Retirement, and, after such Termination through the Certification Date, the Participant at all times complies with the Restrictive Covenants, a number of unvested Performance Stock Units will continue to be eligible to vest on the Certification Date based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance goals set forth above in an amount equal to 





        2

the number of Performance Stock Units that would have vested on the Certification Date if the Participant had been in the continuous service of the Service Recipient through the Certification Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed from the Vesting Commencement Date through the date of such Termination due to the Participant’s Approved Retirement and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Performance Period.
Change in Control Vesting. If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance Period, then the above calculations will be conducted as though (i) the last day of the Performance Period was the date of the Change in Control and (ii) the Company’s stock price at the end of the Performance Period was the price per share of Common Stock payable in connection with such Change in Control. The number of Performance Stock Units resulting from such calculation shall be the number in which the Participant shall vest upon the consummation of such Change in Control. Any Performance Stock Units that do not vest in accordance with this paragraph shall automatically be forfeited.
“Approved Retirement” means a Retirement that occurs following the Participant’s receipt of written confirmation by the Company that such Retirement will be designated as an “Approved Retirement” for purposes of the Plan.  The designation of an Approved Retirement shall be made by the Company in its reasonable discretion after the Participant has notified the Company of his or her intention to permanently leave the workforce and the Company has determined that it is reasonable for the Company to conclude that the Participant is genuinely and permanently leaving the workforce or otherwise has determined that the Participant’s Retirement should be designated as an Approved Retirement, and the Company’s determination as to whether a Retirement is an Approved Retirement shall be final and binding upon the Participant.  In the event that the Company determines, during the six (6) month period following the Participant’s Retirement, in its reasonable discretion that, in connection with the designation of a Retirement as an Approved Retirement, the Participant intentionally misrepresented his or her intention to permanently leave the workforce, the Company shall be entitled to revoke the designation of such Retirement as an Approved Retirement with retroactive effect upon written notice thereof to the Participant, as further provided in Section 12(c) of the Global Award Agreement attached hereto as Appendix A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company receives a legal opinion that there has been a legal judgment and/or legal development in the Participant’s jurisdiction that would likely result in the favorable treatment that applies to the Performance Stock Units awarded hereunder if the Participant’s Termination occurs as a result of the Participant’s Approved Retirement being deemed unlawful and/or discriminatory, the Company may determine that the Participant’s Retirement does not constitute an Approved Retirement but shall instead be a voluntary resignation by the Participant. 
“Cause” means the Participant’s (A) willful neglect in the performance of the Participant’s duties for the Service Recipient or willful or repeated failure or refusal to perform such duties; (B) engagement in conduct in connection with the Participant’s employment or service with the Service Recipient, which results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, material harm to the business or reputation of the Company or any other member of the Company Group; (C) conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to, (I) any felony; or (II) any other crime that results in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, material harm to the business or reputation of the Company or any other member of the Company Group; (D) engaging in any act of moral turpitude, illegality or harassment, whether or not such act was committed in connection with the Participant’s services to the Company Group; (E) material violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct or any other written policies of the Company or the Service Recipient, including, but not limited to, those relating to sexual harassment or the disclosure or misuse of confidential information, or those set forth in the manuals or statements of policy of the Company or Service Recipient; (F) fraud or misappropriation, embezzlement or misuse of funds or property belonging to the Company or any other member of the Company Group; or (G) act of personal dishonesty that involves personal profit in connection with the Participant’s employment or service to the Service Recipient.
“Peer Group” means all companies and entities that, on January 1, 2022, comprise the S&P 500 Industrials; provided, that if prior to the end of the Performance Period a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2022 ceases to publicly report, on either a recognized stock exchange or “over the counter” market, a share price for the security used to determine the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period and such company or entity has not become “Insolvent” (as defined below), such company or entity will be excluded from the ranking; provided, further, that if prior to the end of the Performance Period a company or entity that is in the S&P 500 Industrials on January 1, 2022 becomes Insolvent, whether or not such company or entity ceases to publicly report a share price for the security used to determine the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period, then such company or entity will be treated as having a cumulative TSR of negative one hundred percent (-100%). A company or entity will be considered “Insolvent” if it (i) files for bankruptcy, reorganization, or liquidation under any chapter of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (ii) is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that is not dismissed within 30 days; (iii) is the subject of a stockholder approved plan of liquidation or dissolution; or (iv) ceases to conduct substantial business operations.
“Performance Period” means the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024.





        3

“TSR” means total shareholder return as applied to the Company or any member of the Peer Group, defined as (i) the stock price at the end of the Performance Period minus the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period, plus dividends and distributions made (assuming such dividends or distributions are reinvested in the common stock of the Company or such member of the Peer Group) during the Performance Period, divided by (ii) the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period, expressed as a percentage return. For purposes of computing TSR, the stock price at the beginning of the Performance Period will be the average closing price of the stock for the 60 trading days immediately preceding January 1, 2022 and the stock price at the end of the Performance Period will be the average closing price of the stock for the 60 trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2024.
“Qualifying Termination” means a Termination by the Company without Cause.
“Retirement” means the Participant’s Termination as a result of the Participant’s voluntary resignation on or after the date on which the Participant has reached age 55 and has completed at least 10 years of service with the Company Group.

GLOBAL AWARD AGREEMENT (PSUs)
UNDER THE
INGERSOLL RAND INC. 
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2017 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN
Pursuant to the Performance Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) delivered to the Participant (as defined in the Grant Notice), and subject to the terms of this Global Award Agreement (PSUs) (this “Award Agreement”) and the Ingersoll Rand Inc. Amended and Restated 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Ingersoll Rand Inc. (the “Company”) and the Participant agree as follows. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Plan. 
1. Grant of Performance Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant the number of Performance Stock Units provided in the Grant Notice (with each Performance Stock Unit representing an unfunded, unsecured right to receive one share of Common Stock) (Performance Stock Units are referred to herein as “Awards”) on the Vesting Date (as defined below). 
2. Vesting.  Except as otherwise specified in this Award Agreement and the Plan, the Performance Stock Units will vest on the date provided in the Grant Notice (the “Vesting Date”). Any Performance Stock Units which have not vested as of the date of the Participant’s Termination shall thereupon be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company. 
3. Settlement of Performance Stock Units. The provisions of Section 9(d)(ii) of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof. 
4. Company; Participant. 
(a) The term “Company” as used in this Award Agreement with reference to employment shall include the Company and its Subsidiaries. 
(b) Whenever the word “Participant” is used in any provision of this Award Agreement under circumstances where the provision should logically be construed to apply to the executors, the administrators, or the person or persons to whom the Performance Stock Units may be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “Participant” shall be deemed to include such person or persons. 
5. Non-Transferability. The Performance Stock Units are not transferable by the Participant except to Permitted Transferees in accordance with applicable laws and Section 14(b) of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, no assignment or transfer of the Performance Stock Units, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever, but immediately upon such assignment or transfer the Performance Stock Units shall terminate and become of no further effect. 
6. No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant or a Permitted Transferee of the Performance Stock Units shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any share of Common Stock underlying a Performance Stock Unit unless and until the Participant shall have become the holder of record or the beneficial owner of such Common Stock and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights in respect of such share of Common Stock for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the Participant shall become the holder of record or the beneficial owner thereof.
7. Tax Withholding. 
(a)        The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount of any income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld in respect of the Performance Stock Units (the “Tax Obligation”), payable, at the Participant’s election, either (x) in cash (by check or wire transfer) or (y) if there is a public market for the shares of Common Stock at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless settlement” pursuant to which the Company is delivered (including telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company) a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the settlement of the Performance Stock Units and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Tax Obligation. Alternatively, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy this requirement by withholding such amount from any cash compensation or other cash amounts owing to the Participant. 





        6

(b)        Without limiting the foregoing, the Company may (but is not obligated to), in its sole discretion, permit or require the Participant to satisfy, all or any portion of the minimum income, employment and/or other applicable taxes that are statutorily required to be withheld with respect to the Performance Stock Units by (i) the delivery of the shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Committee in order to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof); or (ii) having the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, as applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to an amount, subject to clause (c) below, not in excess of such minimum statutorily required withholding liability (or portion thereof).
(c)        The Company, subject to its having considered the applicable accounting impact of any such determination, has full discretion to allow the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, any additional income, employment and/or other applicable taxes payable by the Participant with respect to the Performance Stock Units by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable or deliverable to, or that would otherwise be retained by, the Participant upon the grant, vesting or settlement of the Performance Stock Units, as applicable, shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the applicable minimum required statutory withholding liability (but such withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum statutory withholding amount(s) in the Participant’s relevant tax jurisdiction), in which case, the Participant may receive a refund in cash of any amount withheld that exceeds the amount remitted to the applicable tax authorities and will have no entitlement to the equivalent in shares of Common Stock or to any interest on such over-withheld amount.
(d)        The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company, or, if different, the Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participants (the “Tax-Related Items”), is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount, if any, actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspects of the Awards, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Award, as applicable, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the receipt of any dividends; and (2) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Awards to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. 
(e)        Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy any obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by any of the means set forth herein. 
(f)        If the obligations for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Common Stock, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the shares of Common Stock or proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
8. Notice. Every notice or other communication relating to this Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant shall be in writing, and shall be mailed to or delivered to the party for whom it is intended at such address as may from time to time be designated by such party in a notice mailed or delivered to the other party as herein provided; provided that, unless and until some other address be so designated, all notices or communications by the Participant to the Company shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, to the attention of the Company Secretary, and all notices or communications by the Company to the Participant may be given to the Participant personally or may be mailed to the Participant at the Participant’s last known address, as reflected in the Company’s records. Notwithstanding the above, all notices and communications between the Participant and any third-party plan administrator shall be mailed, delivered, transmitted or sent in accordance with the procedures established by such third-party plan administrator and communicated to the Participant from time to time. 





        7

9. No Right to Continued Service. This Award Agreement does not confer upon the Participant any right to continue as an employee or service provider to the Company. 
10. Binding Effect. This Award Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the parties hereto. 
11. Waiver and Amendments. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 13 of the Plan, any waiver, alteration, amendment or modification of any of the terms of this Award Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment or modification is consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Committee. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver. 
12. Restrictive Covenants; Clawback/Forfeiture; Revocation of Approved Retirement Designation. 
(a)    Participant acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates and accordingly agrees, in his capacity as an equity (and/or equity-based Award) holder in the Company, to the provisions of Appendix A to this Award Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants”). The Performance Stock Units granted hereunder shall be subject to Participant’s continued compliance with such restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, the Restrictive Covenants contained in this Award Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other restrictive covenants or similar covenants or agreements between the Participant and the Company or any of its Affiliates.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Plan, if the Participant has engaged in or engages in any Detrimental Activity, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, take actions permitted under the Plan, including: (i) cancel the Performance Stock Units; or (ii) require that the Participant forfeit any gain realized on the vesting of the Performance Stock Units and repay such gain to the Company. In addition, if the Participant receives any amount in excess of what the Participant should have received under the terms of this Award Agreement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the Participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, all Performance Stock Units shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law. “Detrimental Activity” means any of the following: (i) unauthorized disclosure of any confidential or proprietary information of any member of the Company Group; (ii) any activity that would be grounds to terminate the Participant’s employment or service with the Service Recipient for Cause; or (iii) a breach by the Participant of any restrictive covenant by which such Participant is bound, including, without limitation, the covenants attached to this Award Agreement as Appendix A.
(c)    In the event that the Company determines, during the six (6) month period following the Participant’s Retirement,  in its reasonable discretion that, in connection with its designation of the Participant’s Retirement as an Approved Retirement, the Participant intentionally misrepresented his or her intention to permanently leave the workforce, the Company shall be entitled to revoke the designation of such Retirement as an Approved Retirement with retroactive effect upon written notice thereof to the Participant; provided, that service by the Participant solely as a non-employee director on one or more boards of directors shall not serve as the basis for revocation of the designation of a Retirement as an Approved Retirement. Upon any such revocation, (i) all Performance Stock Units that were unvested as of the date of such Retirement (such Performance Stock Units, “Retirement Vesting Eligible PSUs”) and that remain outstanding as of the date such written notice is provided to the Participant shall automatically be canceled for no consideration, (ii) all shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that the Participant previously received upon settlement of Retirement Vesting Eligible PSUs shall automatically be forfeited by the Participant for no consideration, and (iii) the Participant shall pay to the Company, in cash and within five (5) business days following written notice of the revocation of the designation of the Participant’s Retirement as an Approved Retirement by the Company, an amount equal to the aggregate gain realized by the Participant upon the disposition of any shares of Common Stock received upon the settlement of any Retirement Vesting Eligible PSUs. The Participant agrees to notify the Company in writing within fourteen (14) days of commencing employment or any consulting engagement (other than service solely as a non-employee director on any board of directors) on a substantially full-time basis for remuneration to any person or entity other than the Company or its Affiliates at any time prior to the Certification Date, and to promptly provide the Company with all information that the Company reasonably requests in order to determine any amount payable pursuant to this Section 12(c) to the Company by the Participant.
13. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Awards, the Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:





        8

(a)    the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature, and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time;
(b)    the grant of the Awards is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive any future awards, or benefits in lieu of awards, even if awards have been granted in the past;
(c)    all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
(d)    the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
(e)    the Awards, any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the income from and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
(f)    the Awards, any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the income from and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments; 
(g)    unless otherwise agreed with the Company in writing, the Awards and any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, and the income from and value of same, are not granted in consideration for, or in connection with, the service the Participant may provide as an officer or director of a Subsidiary;
(h)    the future value of the underlying shares of Common Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; 
(i)    no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Participant’s Awards resulting from Participant’s Termination (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws);
(j)    for purposes of the Awards, a Termination will be deemed to have occurred as of the date the Participant is no longer providing services to the Company or any Subsidiary (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant’s right to vest in the Award will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under labor laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of the Awards (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence); and
(k)    neither the Company, the Employer nor any other Subsidiary shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between the Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Awards or any amounts due to the Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Awards or subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan. 
14. Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. 
The Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address, email address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of Common Stock held in the Company, details of all awards or any other entitlement to shares of Common Stock or equivalent benefits awarded, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. 







        9

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to Fidelity Stock Plan Services, LLC and its affiliates (“Fidelity”), or any such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that the Participant may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. The Participant authorizes the Company, Fidelity and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that the Participant may, at any time, view Data, request information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case, without cost, by contacting the Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the Participant’s consent, the Participant’s employment status or service relationship with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Awards or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the Participant’s local human resources representative.


Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, the Participant agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering the Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Participant’s country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that the Participant will not be able to participate in the Plan if the Participant fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer.


15. Country-Specific Provisions. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the Awards shall be subject to any additional terms and conditions set forth in the Addendum for the Participant’s country. If the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Addendum, the terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.
16. Language. By electing to accept this Award Agreement, the Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English so as to allow the Participant, to understand the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement. If the Participant has received this Award Agreement or any other documentation related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control. 
17. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Awards and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. 
18. Insider Trading/Market-Abuse Laws. The Participant may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws based on the exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are listed and in applicable jurisdictions, including the Participant’s country and the designated broker’s country, which may affect the Participant’s ability to accept, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, rights to the shares of Common Stock (i.e., Performance Stock Units) or rights linked to the value of the shares of Common Stock under the Plan during such times as the Participant is considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in the applicable jurisdictions). Local insider trading laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before possessing inside information. Furthermore, the Participant may be prohibited from (i) disclosing inside information to any third party, including fellow employees and (ii) “tipping” third parties or causing them to otherwise buy or sell securities. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company insider trading policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is the Participant’s responsibility to 





        10

comply with any applicable restrictions and the Participant should speak with the Participant’s personal advisor on this matter. 
19. Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Requirements and Exchange Controls. The Participant acknowledges that the Participant’s country may have certain foreign asset and/or account reporting requirements and exchange controls which may affect the Participant’s ability to acquire or hold shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan or cash received from participating in the Plan in a brokerage or bank account outside the Participant’s country. The Participant may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Participant’s country.

Spain
Terms and Conditions


Labor Law Acknowledgment. In accepting the Awards, the Participant consents to participation in the Plan and acknowledges that the Participant has received a copy of the Plan.


The Participant understands that the Company has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its own discretion decided to grant Awards under the Plan to certain individuals who may be employees of the Company or a Subsidiary 





        22

throughout the world. The decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any grant will not bind the Company or a Subsidiary, other than as set forth in this Award Agreement. Consequently, the Participant understands that the Awards are granted on the assumption and condition that the Awards and any shares of Common Stock acquired upon the vesting of the Performance Stock Units are not a part of any employment contract (either with the Company or a Subsidiary) and shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, salary for any purposes (including severance compensation), or any other right whatsoever. Further, the Participant understands that the Awards would not be granted to the Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, the Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken, or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, any grant of or right to the Awards shall be null and void. 


The Participant understands and agrees that, as a condition of the grant of the Awards, in the event of the Participant’s Termination for any reason other than the Participant’s death, Disability, Qualifying Termination or Approved Retirement as provided in the Grant Notice (including the reasons listed below) will automatically result in the loss of the Awards to the extent the Awards have not vested as of the date of the Participant’s Termination. This will be the case, for example, even if (i) the Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause (i.e., subject to a “despido improcedente”); (ii) the Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (iii) the Participant terminates service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (iv) the Participant terminates service due to a unilateral breach of the Participant’s contract by the Company or a Subsidiary; or (v) the Participant’s employment terminates for any other reason whatsoever. Consequently, upon the Participant’s Termination for any of the above reasons, he or she may automatically lose any rights to the Awards that were not vested on the date of his or her Termination, as described in the Plan, the Grant Notice and this Award Agreement.

        General Information
Securities Law Notification. Investment in shares of Common Stock involves a degree of risk. Participants who elect to participate in the Plan should monitor their participation and consider all risk factors relevant to the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under the Plan as set out in the Agreement and the Additional Documents.
The information contained in this offer is general information only. It is not advice or information that takes into account your objectives, financial situation and needs.
You should consider obtaining your own financial product advice from an independent person who is licensed by ASIC to give advice about participation in the Plan.
Additional Risk Factors for Australian Residents. You should have regard to risk factors relevant to investment in securities generally and, in particular, to the holding of shares of Common Stock. For example, the price at which the shares of Common Stock are quoted on the New York Stock Exchange may increase or decrease due to a number of factors. There is no guarantee that the price of the shares of Common Stock will increase. Factors that may affect the price of the shares of Common Stock include fluctuations in the domestic and international market for 





        25

listed stocks, general economic conditions, including interest rates, inflation rates, commodity and oil prices, changes to government fiscal, monetary or regulatory policies, legislation or regulation, the nature of the markets in which the Company operates and general operational and business risks. 
More information about potential factors that could affect the Company’s business and financial results is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, you should be aware that the Australian dollar value of any shares of Common Stock acquired at vesting will be affected by the U.S. dollar/Australian dollar exchange rate. Participation in the Plan involves certain risks related to fluctuations in this rate of exchange.
Common Stock. Common stock of a U.S. corporation is analogous to ordinary shares of an Australian corporation. Each holder of the Company’s Common Stock is entitled to one vote for every share of Common Stock.
Dividends may be paid on the shares of Common Stock out of any funds of the Company legally available for dividends at the discretion of the Board.
The shares of Common Stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the United States of America under the symbol “IR”.
The shares of Common Stock are not liable to any further calls for payment of capital or for other assessment by the Company and have no sinking fund provisions, pre-emptive rights, conversion rights or redemption provisions.
Ascertaining the Market Price of Shares. You may ascertain the current market price of the shares of Common Stock as traded on the NYSE under the symbol “IR” at https://www.nyse.com/.  The Australian dollar equivalent of that price can be obtained at: http://www.rba.gov.au/statistics/frequency/exchange-rates.html.
This will not be a prediction of what the market price per share of Common Stock will be when the Performance Stock Units vest.
Tax Notification
The following is a summary of the tax consequences as of March 2018 for an Australian resident Participant who receives Performance Stock Units under the Plan. This summary is necessarily general in nature and does not purport to be tax advice in relation to an actual or potential recipient of Awards.
If you are a citizen or resident of another country or are considered a citizen or resident of another country for local law purposes, or transfer employment and/or residence after you are granted Awards, the information contained in this summary may not be applicable to you.
If you intend to accept Awards under the Plan, then you should not rely on the summary as anything other than a broad guide and you should seek appropriate professional advice as to how the tax or other laws in Australia and in any other applicable country apply to your specific situation before making the decision to accept.
        Taxation of the Awards
1.Australian Tax Consequences 


(a)What is the effect of the grant of the Awards?
The Australian tax legislation contains specific rules, in Subdivision 83A-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, governing the taxation of shares and rights (called “ESS interests”) acquired by employees under employee share schemes. The Awards granted under the Plan should be regarded as a right to acquire shares and accordingly, an ESS interest for these purposes.
Your assessable income includes the “discount” given in relation to the acquisition of the ESS interest at grant, unless the ESS interest is either subject to a real risk of forfeiture, or you are genuinely restricted from immediately disposing of the ESS interest and there is a statement in the grant materials that deferral is to apply, in which case you will be subject to deferred taxation.





        26

The terms of your Awards are set out in the Plan and the Agreement. Your Awards are non-transferable and the Agreement contains a statement that tax deferral is to apply. Accordingly, you will be subject to deferred taxation (i.e., you generally should not be subject to tax when the Awards are granted to you).
You will be required to include an amount in your assessable income for the income year in which the earliest of the following events occurs in relation to your Awards (the “ESS deferred taxing point”):
(i)    there are both no longer any genuine restrictions on the vesting of the Awards, or the underlying shares of Common Stock being disposed of, and there is no real risk of you forfeiting the Awards or underlying shares of Common Stock;
(ii)    you cease relevant employment (i.e., when you are no longer employed by the Company or your employer) to the extent you retain the Awards; or
(iii)    15 years from when the Awards were granted.
Generally, this means you will be subject to tax when the Awards are settled upon vesting, and the shares of Common Stock are no longer subject to any genuine restrictions on disposal. However, the ESS deferred taxing point for the Awards will be moved to the time you sell the underlying shares of Common Stock if you sell the underlying shares of Common Stock within 30 days of the original ESS deferred taxing point.
(b)What is the amount that I must include in my assessable income if an ESS deferred taxing point occurs?
The amount you must include in your assessable income in the income year (i.e., the financial year ending 30 June) in which the ESS deferred taxing point occurs in relation to the Awards will be the difference between the “market value” of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the ESS deferred taxing point and the cost base of the Awards (which should be nil for the Performance Stock Units because you do not pay anything to acquire the Performance Stock Units or the underlying shares of Common Stock).
If, however, you sell the underlying shares of Common Stock in an arm’s length transaction within 30 days of the ESS deferred taxing point (i.e., typically within 30 days of vesting), the amount to be included in your assessable income in the income year in which the sale occurs will be equal to the difference between the sale proceeds and the cost base of the Awards (which should include any incremental costs you incur in connection with the sale, e.g., brokerage fees).
(c)What is the market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock? 
The “market value” of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the ESS deferred taxing point is determined according to the ordinary meaning of “market value” expressed in Australian currency. The Company will determine the market value in accordance with guidelines prepared by the Australian Tax Office.
The Company has the obligation to provide you with certain information about your participation in the Plan at certain times, including after the end of the income year in which the ESS deferred taxing point occurs. This may assist you in determining the market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the ESS deferred taxing point. However, this estimate may not be correct if you sell the shares of Common Stock within 30 days of the acquisition date, in which case it is your responsibility to report and pay the appropriate amount of tax based on the sale proceeds. 
(d)What happens if I cease employment before my Awards vest?
If you cease employment with the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the vesting date of some or all of the Awards and the Awards are forfeited, you may be treated as if you never acquired the forfeited Awards, in which case no amount will be included in your assessable income.





        27

(e)What tax consequences will apply when I sell my shares of Common Stock?
You may also be subject to capital gains tax when you subsequently sell the shares of Common Stock (other than gains realized on the disposal of shares of Common Stock within 30 days after the original ESS deferred taxing point, in which case your treatment will be limited to the income tax consequences described above in paragraph 1(b)). 
Provided you dispose of the shares of Common Stock in an arm’s length transaction,2 you will be subject to capital gains tax to the extent that the sale proceeds exceed your cost base in the shares of Common Stock sold. Your cost base in the shares of Common Stock will generally be equal to the market value of the shares of Common Stock at the ESS deferred taxing point (which will usually be the date you acquired the shares) plus any incremental costs you incur in connection with the sale (e.g., brokerage fees).


The amount of any capital gain you realize must be included in your assessable income for the year in which the shares of Common Stock are sold. However, if you hold the shares of Common Stock for at least one year prior to selling (excluding the dates you acquired and sold the shares of Common Stock), you may be able to apply a discount to the amount of capital gain that you are required to include in your assessable income. If this discount is available, you may calculate the amount of capital gain to be included in your assessable income by first subtracting all available capital losses from your capital gains and then multiplying each capital gain by the discount percentage of 50%.


If the sale proceeds are lower than your cost base in the shares of Common Stock sold (assuming the sale occurred in an arm’s length transaction), you will realize a capital loss. Capital losses may be used to offset capital gains realized in the current tax year or in any subsequent tax year, but may not be used to offset other types of income (e.g., salary or wage income).
(f)What are the tax consequences if a dividend is paid on the shares? 
If you continue to hold the shares of Common Stock, you may be entitled to receive dividends on the shares of Common Stock if the Board, in its discretion, declares a dividend. Any dividends paid on shares of Common Stock must be included in your assessable income in the tax year they are received. The dividends are also subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at source. You may be entitled to a foreign tax offset against your Australian income tax for the U.S. federal income tax withheld on any dividends. 
(g)What are the tax withholding and reporting obligations in relation to any income that I may realize pursuant to my participation in the Plan?
You will be responsible for reporting any income attributable to your Awards in your tax return and paying any tax liability. It is also your responsibility to report and pay any Australian tax liability on any dividends received and/or any capital gains arising from the disposal of the shares of Common Stock that you acquire under the Plan.
Your employer will be required to withhold the tax due at the ESS deferred taxing point only if you have not provided your Tax File Number or Australian Business Number (as applicable) to your employer.
However, your employer must provide to you (generally, by no later than 14 July after the end of the income year) and the Commissioner of Taxation (generally, by no later than 14 August after the end of the income year) a statement containing certain information about your participation in the Plan in the income year in which the original ESS deferred taxing point occurs (typically, the year you acquire the shares), including an estimate of the market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the taxing point. Please note that, if you sell the shares of Common Stock within 30 days of acquisition, your taxing point will not be at acquisition; as such, the amount reported by your employer may differ from your actual taxable amount (which would be based on the value of the shares of Common Stock when sold, not the acquisition date). It is your responsibility to ensure that you complete your tax return properly.

2 If you sell your shares on the NYSE, this will generally be considered an arm’s length transaction.





        28

2.United States Tax Consequences


Participants (who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents) will not be subject to U.S. tax by reason only of the grant and vesting of the Awards, the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock or the sale of shares of Common Stock, except as described in the dividends section above. However, liability for U.S. taxes may accrue if a Participant is otherwise subject to U.S. taxes. 
The above is an indication only of the likely U.S. taxation consequences for Australian resident Participants granted Awards under the Plan. Participants should seek their own advice as to the U.S. taxation consequences of Plan participation.
