Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 or the Base Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, to the extent any provisions of this Supplemental Indenture or any Note issued hereunder shall conflict with any provision of the Base Indenture, the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture (including the terms and conditions of each series of Notes set forth in Section 2 hereof) shall govern.
Section 4. Issuance in Euro. (a) Principal, including any payments made upon any redemption or repurchase of the Notes, premium, if any, and interest payments in respect of the Notes will be payable in euros.

(b) If the applicable Depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for any of the Global Notes and a successor Depositary is not appointed by Clearstream and Euroclear within 90 days, or if the Company has been notified that both Clearstream and Euroclear have been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor clearing system is available, the Company will issue the Notes in definitive registered form in exchange for the applicable Global Notes. The Company will also issue the Notes in definitive registered form in exchange for the applicable Global Notes if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with regard to the Notes represented by such Global Notes and has not been cured or waived.
5

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer of definitive Notes.

(e) The provisions of this Section 5 shall supplement (and, to the extent inconsistent therewith, supersede) Section 3.08 of the Base Indenture.
Section 6. Governing Law.

ALLERGAN FUNDING SCS
FLOATING RATE NOTES DUE 2019
1. Interest. Allergan Funding SCS (formerly known as Actavis Funding SCS), a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 46A, avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg), registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce and Companies under number B187.310 (the Company), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of these Securities at a rate per annum equal to EURIBOR (as defined below), as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date (as defined below) by the Calculation Agent (as defined below), plus 0.350%; provided, however, that the minimum interest rate on the Securities shall not be less than 0.000%.
The rate of interest on these Securities shall be reset on the first day of each Interest Period (as defined below) other than the Initial Interest Period (as defined below).
The Company shall pay interest on the Securities quarterly on June 1, September 1, December 1 and March 1 of each year (each such date, an Interest Payment Date), with the first interest payment to be made on [September 1, 2017]2. An Interest Period for the Securities means the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date and ending on the day preceding the next following Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the Initial Interest Period, commencing on May 26, 2017). The Initial Interest Period shall be May 26, 2017 through August 31, 2017. The Interest Determination Date for an Interest Period shall be the second TARGET System Day preceding the first day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of the Initial Interest Period, May 24, 2017).
All payments of interest on the Securities due on any Interest Payment Date shall be made to the persons in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) (each such date, a Regular Record Date). However, interest that the Company pays on the Maturity Date (as defined below) shall be payable to the person to whom the principal shall be payable. The amount of interest for each day that the Securities are outstanding (the Daily Interest Amount) will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Securities outstanding on such day. The amount of interest to be paid on the Securities for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding such Daily Interest Amounts for each day in such Interest Period.
If an Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity Date, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the interest payment shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that if that Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of the Securities falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after the Maturity Date. If any such Interest Payment Date, other than the Maturity Date, is postponed or brought forward as described above, the amount of interest for the relevant Interest Period will be adjusted accordingly.
EURIBOR shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) EURIBOR, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, shall be the offered rate for deposits of euros having a maturity of three months that appears on Reuters Page EURIBOR 01 (or such other page as may replace Reuters Page EURIBOR 01 on such service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying eurozone interbank offered rates for euro-denominated deposits of major banks) at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears, then EURIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, shall be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below.
2 | To be updated with respect to any additional Securities issued after the initial issue date. |
(2) If no offered rate appears on Reuters Page EURIBOR 01 on an Interest Determination Date, as specified in (1) above, EURIBOR shall be determined for such Interest Determination Date on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in euros are offered to prime banks in the eurozone inter-bank market by the principal eurozone office of each of four major banks in such market selected and identified by the Company (the Reference Banks), for a term of three months commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than 1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in euros in such market at such time. The Company shall ensure the Calculation Agent is provided with the complete contact details of the relevant personnel at each of the Reference Banks that they will be required to contact in order to obtain the relevant interest rate. The Calculation Agent shall request the principal eurozone office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, EURIBOR for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded upwards) of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., Brussels time, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the eurozone, selected and identified by the Company, for loans in euros to leading European banks, for a term of three months, commencing on the first day of the applicable Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than 1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in in euros such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected do not provide quotes as specified above, the interest rate for the applicable Interest Period shall be the same as the interest rate for the immediately preceding Interest Period, or, if none, the interest rate for the applicable Interest Period shall be the interest rate with respect to the Initial Interest Period.
All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 8.986865% (or 0.08986865) being rounded to 8.98687% (or 0.0898687)) and all euro amounts used in or resulting from such calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards). Promptly upon determination, the Calculation Agent shall inform the Trustee, if applicable, and the Company of the interest rate for the next Interest Period.
The Calculation Agent shall be the agent appointed by the Company to calculate the interest rate on the Securities and shall initially be the Paying Agent. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate in accordance with the foregoing. On or before each Calculation Date (as defined below), the Calculation Agent shall determine the interest rate and notify the Paying Agent. The Calculation Agent shall, upon the request of any Holder of the Securities, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Securities. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holders of this Securities and neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall have the duty to verify determinations of interest rates made by the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Date pertaining to any Interest Determination Date on the Securities shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, and (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Securities to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.
The interest rate on the Securities shall in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States laws of general application.
2. Maturity. The Securities shall mature on June 1, 2019 (the Maturity Date).
3. Method of Payment. Except as provided in the Indenture (as defined below), the Company shall pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are Holders of record of Securities at the close of business on the Regular Record Date as described in paragraph 1 above next preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal amount. Subject to Section 4 of the Third Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall pay, in euros, all amounts due in cash with respect to the Securities, which amounts shall be paid (A) if this Security is a Global Security, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Depositary for the Securities or its nominee; and (B) if this Security
is a Physical Security, by mailing a check to the address of the relevant Holder set forth in the Security Register for the Securities. Interest of 1 million or more may be paid on any Interest Payment Date to the owner of record by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a euro account maintained by the payee with a bank in a European city in which banks have access to the TARGET2 System. The Company shall pay, in cash, interest on any overdue amount (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) at the applicable rates borne by the Securities.
The provisions of Article 13 (Additional Amounts) of the Base Indenture (as defined below), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture (as defined below), shall apply to the Securities.
4. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, Elavon Financial Services DAC, U.K. Branch, shall act as Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints U.S. Bank National Association as the Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.

The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.

Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, the Company may issue additional Securities of the same series under the Indenture.

Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated and the actual number of days from and including the last date on which interest was paid on the Securities (or May 26, 2017, if no interest has been paid on the Securities), to, but excluding, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date for the payment of principal on the Securities, as the case may be. This payment convention is referred to as ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA) as defined in the rulebook of the International Capital Market Association.

Interest payments will include accrued interest from and including May 26, 2017 or from and including the last date in respect to which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, the Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than the then applicable interest rate on the Securities to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.
2. Maturity. The Securities will mature on June 1, 2029 (the Maturity Date).

Allergan Funding SCS, p. 2
In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:
(a) the Registration Statement and the documents incorporated by reference therein;
(b) the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein;
(c) an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement dated May 23, 2017 among the Company, the Guarantors and the several underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto;
(d) an executed copy of the Indenture; and
(e) facsimile copies of the Securities in global form as executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee.
In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:
1. The Securities have been validly issued by the Company and are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
2. The Guarantees are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the respective Guarantors, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Company or any Guarantor (a) we have assumed that the Company or such Guarantor and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied those legal and organizational requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to the Company or such Guarantor regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable to general business entities with respect to such agreement or obligation), (b) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors rights generally and to general principles of equity and (c) such opinions are subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors rights.

We note that waivers of defenses contained in the Guarantees may be ineffective to the extent that any such defense involve a matter of public policy in New York.
We note that the designation in Section 14.17 of the Base Indenture of the U.S. federal courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Indenture, the Securities or the Guarantees is (notwithstanding the waiver in Section 14.17 of the Base Indenture) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding.
We note that by statute New York provides that a judgment or decree rendered in a currency other than the currency of the United States shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree. There is no corresponding federal statute and no controlling Federal court decision on this issue.
Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a Federal court would award a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or, if it did so, whether it would order conversion of the judgment into U.S. dollars. In addition, to the extent that any Securities or applicable agreement governing those Securities includes a provision relating to indemnification against any loss in obtaining currency due from a court judgment in another currency, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of such provision.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.
We hereby consent to the use of our name in the Prospectus under the heading Legal Matters, and to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to Allergan plc and Warner Chilcott Limiteds Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 26, 2017. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.
Very truly yours,

For the purposes of this opinion we have examined and relied upon the documents listed (which in some cases, are also defined) in the Schedule to this opinion (Documents).
Assumptions
In stating our opinion we have assumed:
1. | the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of all Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original Documents of all Documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, notarized or photostatic copies; |
2. | that each of the Documents and other such documentation which was received by electronic means is complete, intact and in conformity with the transmission as sent; |
3. | the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents; |
4. | the authority, capacity and power of each of the persons signing the Documents (other than the Company with respect to the Indenture); |
5. | that any representation, warranty or statement of fact or law, other than the laws of Bermuda made in any of the Documents, is true, accurate and complete; |
6. | that the Indenture has been validly authorised, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto, other than the Company, and the performance thereof is within the capacity and powers of each such party thereto, and that each such party to which the Company purportedly delivered the Indenture has actually received and accepted delivery of the Indenture; |
7. | that the Company has entered into its obligations under the Indenture in good faith for the purpose of carrying on its business and that, at the time it did so, there were reasonable grounds for believing that the transactions contemplated by the Indenture would benefit the Company; |
8. | that each transaction to be entered into pursuant to the Indenture is entered into in good faith and for full value and will not have the effect of preferring one creditor over another; |
9. | that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; |
10. | that there are no provisions of the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda which would be contravened by any actions taken by the Company in connection with the Registration Statement or which would have any implication in relation to the opinion expressed herein and that, in so far as any obligation under, or action to be taken under, the Registration Statement is required to be performed or taken in any jurisdiction outside Bermuda, the performance of such obligation or the taking of such action will constitute a valid and binding obligation of each of the parties thereto under the laws of that jurisdiction and will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction; |
11. | that the Resolutions are in full force and effect, have not been rescinded, either in whole or in part, and accurately record the resolutions passed by the Board of Directors of the Company in a meeting which was duly convened and at which a duly constituted quorum was present and voting throughout and that there is no matter affecting the authority of the Directors to effect the listing of the Notes on behalf of the Company, not disclosed by the Constitutional Documents or the Resolutions, which would have any adverse implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein; and |
12. | that the records which were the subject of the Searches were complete and accurate at the time of such searches and disclosed all information which is material for the purposes of this opinion and such information has not since the date of the Searches been materially altered. |
Opinion
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the reservations set out below and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

4. | The Indenture (including the Guarantee) has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. |
Reservations
We have the following reservations:
