Prior to the completion of the initial resale of the Securities by the Underwriters, before using or filing any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and before filing any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, the Company will (i) notify the Representatives of any such use or filing, (ii) furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters a copy of the proposed Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, amendment or supplement for review (other than any amendments or supplements made by the filing of documents under the Exchange Act) and (iii) not use or file any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which the Representatives reasonably object (other than any amendments or supplements made by the filing of documents under the Exchange Act). The Company’s obligations under this paragraph (c) shall expire on the Closing Date unless the Representatives shall notify the Company in writing otherwise on or before the Closing Date, and if such notice is given, the Company’s obligations under this paragraph (c) shall expire on the date which is the earlier of (i) six months after the Closing Date and (ii) the completion of the initial resale of the Securities by the Underwriters. The Underwriters shall promptly notify the Company of such completion.

(d) Notice to the Representatives. Until termination of the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will advise the Representatives promptly (or, in the case of clauses (v) and (vi), promptly upon the Company becoming aware thereof), and confirm such advice in writing: (i) when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective (other than any amendments made by the filing of documents under the Exchange Act); (ii) when any supplement to the Prospectus or any amendment to the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been filed (other than any amendments or supplements made by the filing of documents under the Exchange Act); (iii) of any request by the Commission to the Company for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or the receipt of any comments from the Commission relating to the Registration Statement or any other request by the Commission to the Company for any additional information; (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus; (v) of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act; (vi) of the occurrence of any event within the Prospectus Delivery Period as a result of which the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information or any such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading; (vii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act; and (viii) of the receipt by the Company of any notice with respect to any suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offer and sale in any jurisdiction or upon the Company becoming aware of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and the Company will use its reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any such order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, preventing or suspending the use of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification of the Securities and, if any such order is issued, will use reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof.

(e) Time of Sale Information. If at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Information as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Information to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission (to the extent required) and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Information as may be necessary so that the statements in the Time of Sale Information as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Information will comply with law.

(f) Ongoing Compliance. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law.

(g) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will take such actions as the Representatives reasonably request to qualify the Securities for offer and sale by the Underwriters under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file or take any action that would constitute a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself or any of its affiliates to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Earning Statement. The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as reasonably practicable an earning statement that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder covering a period of at least twelve months beginning with the first fiscal quarter of the Company occurring after the “effective date” (as defined in Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.

(i) Clear Market. During the period from the date hereof through and including the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a tenor of more than one year.

(l) Record Retention. The Company will, pursuant to reasonable procedures developed in good faith, retain copies of each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus that is not filed with the Commission in accordance with Rule 433 under the Securities Act.

5. Certain Agreements of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter hereby represents and agrees that

(a) It has not and will not use, authorize use of, refer to, or participate in the planning for use of, any “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (which term includes use of any written information furnished to the Commission by the Company and not incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and any press release issued by the Company) other than (i) a free writing prospectus that, solely as a result of use by such underwriter, would not trigger an obligation to file such free writing prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433, (ii) any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex B or prepared pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 4(c) above (including any electronic road show), or (iii) any free writing prospectus prepared by such underwriter and approved by the Company in advance in writing (each such free writing prospectus referred to in clauses (i) or (iii), an “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Underwriters may use a term sheet substantially in the form of Annex C hereto without the consent of the Company.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable outside legal fees and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, to which they may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with Underwriter Information.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Underwriter Information in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that such information consists only of the following (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”): (1) the information in the last paragraph of the cover page of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus regarding the delivery of the Securities; (2) the names of the Underwriters on the cover page of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus; (3) the names of the Underwriters in the table in the first paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus; and (4) the third, seventh (third and fourth sentences only), eighth and tenth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but, upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of such Indemnifying Person’s election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel as set forth above, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by the Representatives and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors and officers and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final non-appealable judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other 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 or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 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 that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim under this Section 7. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on the New York Stock Exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9 shall be without liability on the part of the Underwriters or the Company, except that the Company and the Underwriters will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons reasonably satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons reasonably satisfactory to the non-defaulting Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter within such time periods, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh 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 that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter's pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company, except that the Company and the Underwriters will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11(a) hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company's counsel and the Company’s and ARINC’s independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may reasonably designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with such Blue Sky Memorandum, not to exceed $10,000); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); and (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. It is understood and agreed, however, that, except as provided in this Section 11 and in Section 7 hereof, the Underwriters will pay all of their own costs and expenses, including the fees of their counsel.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters (other than pursuant to Section 10) or (iii) the Underwriters decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and, in the case of Section 7, each Indemnified Person. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. Each of (i) the respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Underwriters contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto and (ii) this Section 13 and Section 15(c), shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Underwriters or any of the officers, directors or controlling persons of the Company or the Underwriters.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term “significant subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Rockwell Xxxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, dated December 11, 2013 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), providing for, among other things, the issuance and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's Floating Rate Notes due 2016, $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.700% Notes due 2023 and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 4.800% Notes due 2043 (collectively, the “Securities”). This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement.

Annex A-1-1

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined and relied on originals or copies of the following:

(b) the Prospectus dated December 11, 2013 contained in the Registration Statement (the “Basic Prospectus”);

(c) the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated December 11, 2013 filed by the Company with the Commission on December 11, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Preliminary Prospectus”);

(d) the Prospectus Supplement dated December 11, 2013 filed by the Company with the Commission on December 12, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (together with the Basic Prospectus, the “Prospectus”);

(e) the final term sheet in the form attached as Annex C to the Underwriting Agreement (together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Time of Sale Information”);

(f) the Underwriting Agreement;

(g) the Indenture;

(h) the Securities;

(i) the corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the authorization, execution and issuance of the Securities and execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture; and

(j) such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

Based upon the foregoing, having regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Annex A-1-2

(ii) The Company has corporate power and authority to own or lease its properties and conduct its business as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(iii) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(iv) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(v) The Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and, when duly executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, will be valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and will be entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture.

(vi) The terms of the Indenture and the Securities conform in all material respects to the descriptions thereof contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

(vii) The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

(viii) The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus set forth on Annex C to the Underwriting Agreement was filed with the Commission in accordance with the Securities Act (to the extent required thereby), each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on the date specified therein, and, to our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the Securities Act, no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act has been received by the Company and no proceedings for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering has been initiated or threatened by the Commission.

Annex A-1-3

(ix) The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion is given) comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act; and the Indenture complies as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act (other than, in each case set forth in this clause (ix), Form T-1, as to which no opinion is given).

(x) The documents filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the Closing Date and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which no opinion is given), when they were filed with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the Exchange Act.

(xi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental authority or agency or body of the State of New York, the United States of America or the State of Delaware is required under any law of the State of New York, any law of the United States of America or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, respectively, applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions of the nature of those contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities for the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, except such as have been obtained under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations and qualifications as may be required under state securities laws or blue sky laws.

(xii) To our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein by the Company will not result in any violation of any law of the State of New York or of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware applicable to the Company that, in our experience, is generally applicable to transactions of the nature of those contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities.

(xiii) The statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Material United States federal income and estate tax considerations” insofar as they purport to describe the provisions of the laws referred to therein, are fair descriptions or summaries in all material respects, subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth therein.

Annex A-1-4

(xiv) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

Our opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

(a) the enforceability of the Indenture and the Securities may be limited by statutory requirements with respect to good faith, fair dealing and commercial reasonableness and by the effect of judicial decisions that have held that certain provisions are unenforceable where their enforcement would violate the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or would be commercially unreasonable, or where a default is not material;

(b) the availability of equitable remedies, including, without limitation, specific enforcement and injunctive relief, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought;

(c) when in clause (viii) of this opinion we have used the phrase “to our knowledge”, we have not made any independent investigation of the relevant facts for purposes of this opinion, but we have relied on the representations made in the Underwriting Agreement and in certificates of public officials and of officers and other agents of the Company, and the principal attorneys involved in our representation of the Company in connection with the review of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are not aware of any facts inconsistent therewith;

(d) when in clause (xii) of this opinion we have used the phrase “to our knowledge”, the knowledge is limited to the actual knowledge of the principal attorneys involved in our representation of the Company in connection with the review of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities; and

(e) in giving our opinions set forth above, we express no opinion as to:

1. the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Indenture or the Securities that purport to establish (or may be construed to establish) evidentiary standards;

2. the enforceability of forum selection clauses in the United States federal courts;

3. the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provision relating to or constituting: (i) waivers of rights bestowed by operation of law; (ii) waivers of any applicable defenses, setoffs, recoupments or counterclaims to the extent limited by public policy; or (iii) exculpation or exoneration clauses to the extent that enforceability thereof is limited by public policy or such clauses relate to violation of federal or state securities laws;

Annex A-1-5

4. the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any provisions of the Indenture or the Securities insofar as they provide for the payment or reimbursement of costs and expenses or indemnification for claims, losses or liabilities in excess of a reasonable amount determined by any court or other tribunal;

5. the effect of compliance or noncompliance of the Trustee or the Underwriters with any laws or regulations (including, without limitation, any unpublished order, decree or directive issued by any governmental authority) applicable to the Trustee or any Underwriter because of its legal or regulatory status, the nature of its business, or its authority to conduct business in any jurisdiction;

6. the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of provisions indemnifying a party against liability for its own wrongful or negligent act;

7. the enforceability of any provisions of the Indenture or the Securities that provide that the assertion or employment of any right or remedy shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy, or that each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other remedy or that any delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall not impair any other right or remedy or constitute a waiver thereof;

8. the enforceability of any provisions providing for indemnification or contribution to the extent such indemnification or contribution violates the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the securities laws of any state, or is against public policy;

9. the enforceability, legality, validity or sufficiency of the Indenture or the Securities to the extent that the lack of enforceability, legality, validity or sufficiency under the laws or public policy of any jurisdiction other than New York would cause the Indenture or the Securities to be unenforceable, illegal, invalid or insufficient under the laws of New York or the United States of America; and

10. the enforceability of any choice-of-law provisions in the Indenture or the Securities, except to the extent any such choice-of-law provision is made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401 as applied by a New York state court or a federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law principles.

We do not express any opinion herein with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; provided that we do not express any opinion herein with respect to any blue sky laws.

However, on the basis of and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations that we deem relevant, we hereby advise you that no facts have come to our attention that causes us to believe that: (i) as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no view) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) as of the Time of Sale, the Time of Sale Information (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no view) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) as of its date and the Closing Date, the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and schedules and other financial data (and statistical data derived therefrom) included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which we express no view) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. We express no belief in this letter as to the conveyance of the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus to any purchaser of the Securities.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the General Counsel of Rockwell Xxxxxxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and in that capacity, I, or lawyers under my supervision, have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement, dated December 11, 2013 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 to the Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the “Underwriters”), providing for, among other things, the issuance and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's Floating Rate Notes due 2016, $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.700% Notes due 2023 and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 4.800% Notes due 2043 (collectively, the “Securities”). This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Underwriting Agreement.

Annex A-2-1

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I, or lawyers under my supervision, have examined and relied on originals or copies of the following:

(a) the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-192761) filed with the Commission on December 11, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”);

(b) the Prospectus dated December 11, 2013 contained in the Registration Statement (the “Basic Prospectus”);

(e) the final term sheet attached as Annex C to the Underwriting Agreement (together with the Preliminary Prospectus, the “Time of Sale Information”);

(f) the Underwriting Agreement;

(g) the Indenture;

(h) the Securities;

(j) such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

Annex A-2-2

In our examination we have assumed 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 facsimile, electronic, certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to various questions of fact material to the opinions set forth herein, I, or lawyers under my supervision, have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon certifications by officers of the Company and other appropriate persons. Based upon the foregoing, having regard for such legal considerations as I deem relevant, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in the States of California and Iowa and in each other jurisdiction wherein the character of the property owned or held under lease by it makes such qualification necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

2. Each of Rockwell Xxxxxxx European Holdings S.ar.l., Rockwell Xxxxxxx International Financing S.ar.l., Rockwell Xxxxxxx International Holdings S.ar.l. and Rockwell Xxxxxxx EuMEA Holdings SAS (collectively, the “Significant Subsidiaries”) is a subsidiary of the Company, has been duly incorporated or organized and is validly existing in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant in the particular jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and is duly qualified and is in good standing (to the extent such concept is relevant in the particular jurisdiction) as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction wherein the character of the property owned or held under lease by it makes such qualification necessary, except in such jurisdictions where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; the outstanding shares of capital stock of each such Significant Subsidiary (except for directors' qualifying shares) are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; and all of such capital stock is directly or indirectly owned by the Company free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, restriction on voting or transfer or any preemptive or similar rights in favor of any third party.

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture by the Company and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein by the Company will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or, to my knowledge, by which it or any of them is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or By-Laws of the Company, as amended, or any material violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company.

4. There is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus which is not adequately disclosed therein; and except as may be disclosed in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, there is no such litigation or governmental proceeding pending or, to my knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Annex A-2-3

5. Other than the Underwriting Agreement and the forms of the Securities which will be filed by the Company on a current report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, to my knowledge, there are no contracts which are required to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement which are not so filed or which are required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus which are not adequately disclosed therein. I do not express any opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Iowa.

This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the Underwriting Agreement and is solely for your benefit and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person or entity for any purpose without my prior written consent. The opinions expressed herein are given to you as of the Closing Date and I assume no obligation to advise you of any change which may thereafter be brought to my attention.
