EXPLANATORY NOTE
As discussed herein, on
February 27, 2015
(the “Closing Date”), Mylan N.V. completed the transaction by which it acquired Mylan Inc. and Abbott Laboratories’ non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Transfer Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 4, 2014, by and among Mylan Inc., New Moon B.V. (which has been renamed Mylan N.V.), Moon of PA Inc., and Abbott Laboratories, on the Closing Date, Mylan N.V. acquired Abbott Laboratories’ non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business and Moon of PA Inc. merged with and into Mylan Inc., with Mylan Inc. surviving as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Mylan N.V. (the “Merger”) and each share of Mylan Inc. common stock issued and outstanding was canceled and automatically converted into and became the right to receive one Mylan N.V. ordinary share. In connection with this transaction, Mylan Inc. and Abbott Laboratories’ non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business were reorganized under Mylan N.V., a new public company organized in the Netherlands. On February 18, 2015, the Office of Chief Counsel of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a no-action letter to Mylan Inc. and Mylan N.V. that included its views that the Merger constituted a “succession” for purposes of Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that Mylan N.V., as successor to Mylan Inc., is deemed a large accelerated filer for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 12b-2.

PART I
Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion relates to
Mylan Inc.
prior to the consummation of the Transaction, defined below, on
February 27, 2015
.
Mylan Inc.
, along with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “
Mylan
,” “our” or “we”), is a leading global pharmaceutical company, which develops, licenses, manufactures, markets and distributes generic, branded generic and specialty pharmaceuticals.
Mylan
is committed to setting new standards in health care and our mission is to provide the world’s
7 billion
people access to high quality medicine. To do so, we innovate to satisfy unmet needs; make reliability and service excellence a habit; do what's right, not what's easy; and impact the future through passionate global leadership.
Mylan
offers one of the industry’s broadest product portfolios, including
approximately
1,400
marketed products, to customers in
approximately
140
countries and territories. With the completion of the
Abbott Laboratories
(“
Abbott
”) transaction discussed below,
Mylan
has expanded its global footprint to reach customers in
approximately
145
countries and territories. We operate a global, high quality vertically-integrated manufacturing platform, which includes
approximately
40
manufacturing facilities around the world and one of the world’s largest active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) operations. We also operate a strong research and development (“R&D”) network that has consistently delivered a robust product pipeline. Additionally,
Mylan
has a specialty business that is focused on respiratory and allergy therapies.
Overview
Throughout its history,
Mylan
has been recognized as a leader in the United States (“U.S.”) generic pharmaceutical industry. Our leadership position is the result of, among other factors, our ability to efficiently obtain Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) approvals and our reliable high quality supply chain.
Through organic growth and transformative acquisitions since 2007,
Mylan
is one of the largest generic and specialty pharmaceuticals companies in the world today in terms of revenue and is now recognized as an industry leader globally.
On
July 13, 2014
, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
Abbott
to acquire Abbott’s non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “Business”) in an all-stock transaction. On
November 4, 2014
, the Company and
Abbott
entered into an amended and restated definitive agreement implementing the transaction (the “Transaction Agreement”). The transaction, defined below, closed on
February 27, 2015
after receiving approval from Mylan’s shareholders on
January 29, 2015
. At closing,
Abbott
transferred the Business to
Mylan N.V.
, (“
New Mylan
”) in exchange for
110 million
ordinary shares of
New Mylan
. Immediately following the transfer of the Business,
Mylan
merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of
New Mylan
(together with the transfer of the Business, the “Transaction”), with
Mylan
becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
New Mylan
.
Mylan
’s outstanding common stock was exchanged on a one to one basis for
New Mylan
ordinary shares. As a result of the Transaction,
New Mylan
’s corporate seat is located in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
, and its principal executive offices are located in
Potters Bar, United Kingdom
.
New Mylan
will also have global centers of excellence in the U.S., Europe and India.
The Business includes
more than
100
specialty and branded generic pharmaceutical products in
five
major therapeutic areas and includes several patent protected, novel and/or hard-to-manufacture products. As a result of the acquisition,
Mylan N.V.
has significantly expanded and strengthened its product portfolio in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The purchase price of the Transaction, which was on a debt-free basis, was
$6.31 billion
based on the closing price of
Mylan
stock as of the Transaction closing date, as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market
. As a result of the Transaction,
Mylan
shareholders own approximately
78%
of
New Mylan
and
Abbott
’s affiliates own approximately
22%
of
New Mylan
.
New Mylan
and
Abbott
entered into a shareholder agreement in connection with the Transaction.
Through this Transaction, along with previous transformative acquisitions of
Agila Specialties
(‘‘
Agila
’’),
Mylan Laboratories Limited
(“
Mylan India
”), Merck KGaA’s generics and specialty pharmaceutical business,
Bioniche Pharma Holdings Limited
(“
Bioniche Pharma
”) and Pfizer Inc.’s respiratory delivery platform (the “respiratory delivery platform”), we have created a horizontally and vertically integrated platform with global scale, augmenting our diversified product portfolio and further expanding our range of capabilities, all of which we believe position us well for the future.
Today, in addition to the U.S.,
Mylan
has a robust worldwide commercial presence in the generic pharmaceutical market, including leadership positions in France and Australia and several other key European markets as well as markets around the world.
Mylan
is also a leader in branded specialty pharmaceuticals focusing on respiratory and allergy products.
Currently,
Mylan
markets a global portfolio of
approximately
1,400
different products covering a vast array of therapeutic categories. We offer an extensive range of dosage forms and delivery systems, including oral solids, topicals, liquids and semi-solids while focusing on those products that are difficult to formulate and manufacture, and typically have longer life cycles than traditional generic pharmaceuticals, including transdermal patches, high potency formulations, injectables, controlled-release and respiratory products. In addition, we offer a wide range of antiretroviral therapies (“ARVs”), upon which approximately
40%
of HIV/AIDS patients in developing countries depend. Mylan also operates one of the largest API manufacturers, supplying low cost, high quality API for our own products and pipeline as well as for a number of third parties.
We believe that the breadth and depth of our business and platform provide certain competitive advantages in major markets in which we operate, including less dependency on any single market or product. As a result, we are better able to successfully compete on a global basis than compared to many of our competitors.
Our Operations
Mylan
was incorporated in Pennsylvania in
1970
and maintains its principal executive offices in
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania
. Mylan operates in
two
segments, “Generics” and “Specialty.” Our revenues are derived primarily from the sale of generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, specialty pharmaceuticals and API. Our generic pharmaceutical business is conducted primarily in the U.S. and Canada (collectively, “North America”); Europe; and India, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil as well as our export activity into emerging markets (collectively, “Rest of World”). Our API business is conducted through
Mylan India
, which is included within Rest of World in our Generics segment. Our specialty pharmaceutical business is conducted by
Mylan Specialty L.P.
(“
Mylan Specialty
”). Refer to Note
12
for
Consolidated Financial Statements
included in Item 8 in this Form 10-K for additional information related to our segments, including our geographic markets.
Our global operational footprint, including the locations of our manufacturing facilities, global R&D centers of excellence and technology focused development sites, along with the sites’ primary activities, are detailed on the map below:
Our global manufacturing platform is an important component of our business model. We own
six
production, distribution and warehousing facilities in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, including significant production and distribution sites in Morgantown, West Virginia; St. Albans, Vermont; Caguas, Puerto Rico; and Greensboro, North Carolina. Outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico, we own production, distribution and warehousing facilities in
nine
countries, including key facilities in India, Australia, Japan, Ireland, Brazil, Hungary, Poland and France. In addition, as a result of the Transaction, the Company acquired two high-quality manufacturing facilities in Chatillon, France and Katsuyama, Japan.
The Company also leases warehousing, distribution and administrative facilities in numerous locations, within and outside of the U.S., including properties in New York, France, India, Ireland and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). All of the production, distribution and warehousing facilities are included within the Generics segment; however, certain locations also support our Specialty segment.
Our global R&D centers of excellence are located in Morgantown, West Virginia and Hyderabad, India. We also have specific R&D technology centers of excellence in Ireland, India, the U.K. and Japan. As a result of the Transaction,
New Mylan
’s corporate seat is located in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
, and its principal executive offices are located in
Potters Bar, United Kingdom
.
New Mylan
will also have global centers of excellence in the U.S., Europe and India.
We believe that all of our facilities are in good operating condition, the machinery and equipment are well-maintained, the facilities are suitable for their intended purposes and they have capacities adequate for the current operations.
Generics Segment
North America
The U.S. generics market is the
largest
in the world, with generic prescription sales of
$55.6 billion
for the twelve months ended
November
2014
. Mylan holds the number
one
ranking in the U.S. generics prescription market in terms of sales and the number
two
ranking in terms of prescriptions dispensed. Approximately one in every
13
prescriptions dispensed in the U.S. is a
Mylan
product. Our sales in the U.S. are derived primarily from the sale of oral solid dosage, injectable and transdermal products and unit dose offerings. In the U.S., we have one of the largest product portfolios among all generic pharmaceutical companies, consisting of approximately
360
products, of which approximately
270
are in capsule or tablet form, in an aggregate of approximately
815
dosage strengths. Included in these totals are approximately
45
extended-release products in a total of approximately
105
dosage strengths.
We manufacture and sell a diverse portfolio of injectable products across several key therapeutic areas, including antineoplastics, anti-infectives, anesthesia/pain management and cardiovascular. Our product offerings include a diverse portfolio of approximately
125
injectable products (branded and generic) in a total of approximately
175
dosage strengths. As of
December 31, 2014
, approximately
120
injectable products have been filed and are pending ANDA approval for the U.S. market. Mylan’s injectable manufacturing capabilities include vials, pre-filled syringes, ampoules and lyophilization with a focus on antineoplastics, penems, penicillins, ophthalmics and peptides.
Our unit dose business focuses on providing one of the largest product portfolios along with innovative packaging and barcoding that supports bedside verification throughout the U.S. and Canada for hospitals, group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”), long term care facilities, wholesalers, surgical services, home infusion service providers, correctional facilities, specialty pharmacies and retail outlets. In addition to the products we package in the U.S., we also market approximately
60
generic products in a total of approximately
80
dosage strengths under supply and distribution agreements with wholesalers. Also included in our U.S. product portfolio are
five
transdermal patch products in a total of
25
dosage strengths, including our Fentanyl Transdermal System (“Fentanyl”) which was the first AB-rated generic alternative to
Duragesic®
on the market and was also the first generic class II narcotic transdermal product ever approved.
We believe that the breadth and quality of our product offerings help us to successfully meet our customers’ needs and to better compete in the generic industry over the long-term. The future growth of our U.S. generics business is partially dependent upon continued acceptance of generic products as affordable alternatives to branded pharmaceuticals, a trend which is largely outside of our control. However, we believe that we can maximize the profitability of our generic product opportunities by continuing our proven track record of bringing to market high quality products that are difficult to formulate or manufacture. Over the last several years we have successfully introduced many generic products that are difficult to formulate or manufacture and continue to be meaningful contributors to our business several years after their initial launch. Additionally, we expect to achieve growth in our U.S. business by launching new products for which we may attain U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) first-to-file status with Paragraph IV certification. As described further in the “Product Development and Government Regulation” discussion below, Paragraph IV certification qualifies the product approval holder for a period of generic marketing and distribution exclusivity.
In Canada, we offer a portfolio of approximately
170
products in an aggregate of approximately
375
dosage strengths and currently rank
seventh
in terms of market share in the generic prescription market. As in the U.S., growth in Canada will be dependent upon acceptance of generic products as affordable alternatives to branded pharmaceuticals. Further, we plan to
leverage the strength and reliability of the
Mylan
brand to foster growth throughout the region. With the acquisition of
Agila
, we further diversified our pharmaceutical portfolio by adding generic injectable products in the Canadian market.
Europe
Our generic pharmaceutical sales in Europe are generated primarily by our wholly owned subsidiaries, through which we have operations in
22
countries. The types of markets within Europe vary from country to country; however, when combined, the European market is the
second
largest generic pharmaceutical market in the world in terms of value. Within Europe, by value, the generic prescription market in Germany is the
largest
, followed by the U.K., France, Spain and Italy, respectively. Of the top ten generic prescription markets in Europe, we hold leadership positions in several markets, described below, including the number
one
market share position in France, the number
two
market share position in Italy and the number
three
market share position in Portugal.
The European generic prescription market varies significantly by country in terms of the extent of generic penetration, the key decision maker in terms of drug choice and other important aspects. Some countries, including Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Poland, are characterized by relatively high generic penetration, ranging between
66%
and
72%
of total prescription market sales in the twelve months ended
November
2014
, based on volume. Conversely, other major European markets, including France, Italy and Spain, are characterized by much lower generic penetration, ranging between
19%
and
40%
of total prescription sales in the twelve months ended
November
2014
, based on volume. However, recent actions taken by governments, particularly in these latter under-penetrated countries, to reduce health care costs could encourage further use of generic pharmaceutical products. In each of these under-penetrated markets, in addition to growth from new product launches, we expect our future growth to be driven by increased generic utilization and penetration.
The manner in which products are marketed also varies by country. In addition to selling pharmaceuticals under their International Nonproprietary Name (“INN”) (i.e., API), in certain European countries, there is a market for both branded generic products and “company-branded” generic products. Branded generic pharmaceutical products are given a unique brand name, as these markets tend to be more responsive to the promotion efforts generally used to promote brand products. Company-branded products generally consist of the name of the active ingredient with a prefix or suffix of the company’s name, either in whole or in part.
France
In France, we market a portfolio, including both oral solid and injectable dosage forms, of approximately
300
products in an aggregate of approximately
670
dosage strengths. We have the
highest
market share in the generic market, with a share of approximately
26%
. Our future growth in the French market is expected to come primarily from new product launches and increased generic utilization and penetration through government initiatives.
Italy
In Italy, we market a portfolio of approximately
170
products in an aggregate of approximately
340
dosage strengths. We have the
second
highest market share in the company-branded generic prescription market, with a share of approximately
19%
. We believe that the Italian generic market is under-penetrated, with company-branded generics representing approximately
20%
of the Italian pharmaceutical market, based on volume. The Italian government has put forth only limited measures aimed at encouraging generic use, and as a result, generic substitution is still in its early stages. Our growth in the Italian generics market will be fueled by increasing generic utilization and penetration and new product launches.
United Kingdom
In the U.K., we market a portfolio of approximately
185
products in an aggregate of approximately
350
dosage strengths. Mylan is ranked
fourth
in the U.K. generic prescription market, in terms of value, with an estimated market share of approximately
6%
. Mylan is well positioned in the U.K. as a preferred supplier to wholesalers and is also focused on areas such as multiple retail pharmacies and hospitals. The U.K. generic prescription market is highly competitive, and any growth in the market will stem from new product launches although we expect that the value will continue to be affected by price erosion.
Spain
In Spain, we market a portfolio of approximately
135
products in an aggregate of approximately
290
dosage strengths. We have the
seventh
highest market share in the company-branded generic prescription market. The company-branded generic market comprised approximately
34%
of the total Spanish pharmaceutical market by volume for the twelve months ended
November
2014
. We view further generic utilization and penetration of the Spanish market to be a key driver of our growth in that country.
The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, we market a portfolio of approximately
230
products in an aggregate of approximately
480
dosage strengths. We have the
fourth
largest market share in the generic prescription market. The Netherlands is characterized by relatively high generic penetration representing approximately
67%
of total prescription market sales in the twelve months ended
November
2014
, based on volume.
Germany
In Germany, we market a portfolio of approximately
145
products in an aggregate of approximately
320
dosage strengths. A tender system has been implemented in Germany and, as a result, health insurers play a major role in this market. Under a tender system, health insurers invite manufacturers to submit bids that establish prices for generic pharmaceuticals. Pricing pressures result from an effort to win the tender. As a result of these tenders, our business in Germany has grown, and future growth in the German marketplace will depend upon our ability to compete based primarily on price.
Poland
As part of the acquisition of
Agila
, we acquired an injectable manufacturing facility in Poland. In addition, we also operate a commercial business in Poland focused on the generic prescription market. Our future growth is expected to come from increasing the production capacity of our injectable facility and through new product launches.
Other European Locations
We have a notable presence in other European generic prescription markets, including Portugal, where we hold the
third
highest market share in terms of value. We also operate in several other European markets, including Ireland, the Nordic countries (principally Sweden and Finland), Belgium, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
Rest of World
We market generic pharmaceuticals in Rest of World through subsidiaries in India, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Brazil and Taiwan. Additionally, we have an export business which is focused on countries in Africa and emerging markets throughout the world. We also participate in a collaboration with Pfizer Japan Inc. (“Pfizer Japan”) to develop, manufacture, distribute and market generic drugs in Japan. Additionally, through
Mylan India
, we market API to third parties and also supply other
Mylan
subsidiaries. We have the
highest
market share in both the Australian and New Zealand generic pharmaceuticals markets.
India
Mylan India
manufactures and supplies low cost, high quality API for our own products and pipeline, as well as for numerous third parties.
Mylan India
is
one of the world's largest
API manufacturers as measured by the number of drug master files (“DMFs”) filed with regulatory agencies.
Mylan India
also produces a line of finished dosage form (“FDF”) products for the ARV market, which are sold mostly outside of India. Additionally,
Mylan India
manufactures non-ARV FDF products that are marketed and sold to third parties by other
Mylan
operations around the world. Expansion of
Mylan India
’s portfolio and an increase in product sales within India are both key drivers of our future growth.
We currently have over
300
APIs in the market or under development and we focus our marketing efforts on regulated markets such as the U.S. and the European Union (the “EU”). We produce API for use in the manufacture of our own pharmaceutical products, as well as for use by third parties, in a wide range of categories, including anti-bacterials, central nervous system agents, anti-histamine/anti-asthmatics, cardiovasculars, anti-virals, anti-diabetics, anti-fungals, proton pump inhibitors and pain management drugs.
Mylan India
has
nine
API and intermediate manufacturing facilities,
four
FDF facilities and
eight
injectable facilities. All of these facilities are located in India.
Eight
of the API facilities,
two
FDF facilities and
four
injectable facilities have been successfully inspected by the FDA, which makes Mylan India one of the largest companies in India in terms of API manufacturing facilities that have passed FDA inspection. From an API standpoint, growth is dependent upon us continuing to
leverage our R&D capabilities to produce high quality, low cost API, while capitalizing on the greater API volumes afforded through our vertically integrated platform.
In August 2012,
Mylan
commenced commercial operations in India starting with the launch of a comprehensive portfolio of FDF ARV products for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. In June 2013,
Mylan
added a portfolio of women’s health care products focused on hormone and infertility treatments along with nutritional supplements. During December 2013, the portfolio was further enhanced by adding products from therapeutic categories such as oncology and critical care.
Australia
The generic pharmaceutical market in Australia had sales of approximately
$1.9 billion
during the twelve months ended
November
2014
. Our Australian operation has the
highest
market share in the generic market with an estimated
31%
market share by volume and we offer a portfolio of approximately
180
products in an aggregate of approximately
375
dosage strengths. The Australian generics market is still underdeveloped and, as a result, the government is increasingly focused on encouraging the use of generics in an effort to reduce costs. Maintaining our position of market leadership as the market undergoes further generic utilization and penetration and continued pricing pressure will be instrumental to our future success in Australia.
Japan
Beginning in 2013, we established an exclusive long-term strategic collaboration with Pfizer Japan to develop, manufacture, distribute and market generic drugs in Japan. Under the agreement, both parties operate separate legal entities in Japan and collaborate on current and future generic products, sharing the costs and profits resulting from such collaboration.
Mylan
’s responsibilities in Japan primarily consist of managing operations, including R&D and manufacturing. Pfizer Japan’s responsibilities primarily consist of the commercialization of the combined generics portfolio and managing a combined marketing and sales effort.
In Japan, together with our partner Pfizer Japan, we offer a broad portfolio of more than
290
products in an aggregate of approximately
450
dosage strengths. We also have a manufacturing and packaging facility located in Japan, which is key to supplying our collaboration in Japan. Japan is the
second
largest pharmaceutical market in the world by value, behind the U.S., and the
seventh
largest generic prescription market worldwide by value, with sales of approximately
$5.3 billion
during the twelve months ended
November
2014
. Currently, the market is largely composed of hospitals and clinics, but pharmacies are expected to play a greater role as generic substitution, aided by recent pro-generics government action, becomes more prevalent. The Japanese government has stated that it intends to grow the generic share to
60%
or higher by the end of
March
2018
. As of
July
2014
, the generic share reached
55%
, up from approximately
47%
at the end of
2013
.
New Zealand
In New Zealand, we are the
largest
generics company in the country, with
28%
of the market share by volume. New Zealand is a government tender market where pharmaceutical suppliers can gain exclusivity of up to
three years
. New Zealand offers a portfolio of approximately
90
products in an aggregate of approximately
150
dosage strengths.
Brazil
We began commercial operations in Brazil in the fourth quarter of 2013 through the acquisition of
Agila
. In this market, we operate both a manufacturing platform and a commercial business focused on providing high quality generic injectable products to the Brazilian hospital segment. Our sales into this market segment are made through distributors as well as through tenders. Our goal is to build upon this local platform in order to further access the
$22 billion
Brazilian pharmaceutical market. We are actively working to utilize our global R&D and manufacturing capabilities, along with our robust and differentiated product portfolio to meaningfully expand our hospital offerings in key therapeutic areas. In addition, we continue to explore opportunities to further leverage the
Mylan
platform and expand to other dosage forms and product offerings in Brazil.
Specialty Segment
Our specialty pharmaceutical business is conducted through
Mylan Specialty
, which competes primarily in the respiratory and severe allergy markets.
Mylan Specialty
’s portfolio consists primarily of branded specialty injectable and nebulized products. A significant portion of
Mylan Specialty
’s revenues are derived through the sale of the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
. During 2014, the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
became the first
Mylan
product to reach
$1 billion
in annual net sales.
The
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
, which is used in the treatment of severe allergic reactions, is an epinephrine auto-injector that has been sold in the U.S. and internationally since the mid-1980s. Mylan Specialty has worldwide rights to the epinephrine auto-injector, which is supplied to Mylan Specialty by a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer Inc. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death, either through swelling that shuts off airways or through significant drop in blood pressure. In December 2010, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a division of the National Institutes of Health, introduced the “Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States.” These guidelines state that epinephrine is the first line treatment for anaphylaxis. The
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
is the number
one
dispensed epinephrine auto-injector. The strength of the
EpiPen®
brand name, quality and ease of use of the product and the promotional strength of the
Mylan Specialty
U.S. sales force have enabled us to maintain our leadership position within this therapeutic category.
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
,
Mylan Specialty
’s Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Solution, was launched in October 2007.
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
is a long-acting beta
2
-adrenergic agonist indicated for long-term, twice-daily administration in the maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (“COPD”) patients, including those with chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Mylan Specialty has been issued several U.S. and international patents protecting
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
.
In addition to
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
and
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
,
Mylan Specialty
also markets
ULTIVA®
, which is an analgesic agent used during the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia for inpatient and outpatient procedures and is generally administered by an infusion device.
We believe that we can continue to drive the long-term growth of our Specialty segment by successfully managing our existing product portfolio and bringing to market additional products.
Product Development and Government Regulation
Generics Segment
North America
Prescription pharmaceutical products in the U.S. are generally marketed as either brand or generic drugs. Brand products are usually marketed under brand names through marketing programs that are designed to generate physician and consumer loyalty. Brand products generally are patent protected, which provides a period of market exclusivity during which time they are sold with little or no competition for the compound, although there typically are other participants in the therapeutic area. Additionally, brand products may benefit from other periods of non-patent market exclusivity. Exclusivity normally provides brand products with the ability to maintain their profitability for relatively long periods of time and brand products typically continue to play a significant role in the market due to physician and consumer loyalties after the end of patent protection or other market exclusivities.
Generic pharmaceutical products are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of the brand or a reference listed drug (“RLD”). A reference listed brand drug is an approved drug product listed in the FDA publication entitled
Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations
, popularly known as the “Orange Book.” The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”) provides that generic drugs may enter the market after the approval of an ANDA, which requires that bioequivalence to a reference brand drug be demonstrated and the expiration, invalidation or non-infringement of any patents on the corresponding reference brand drug, or the end of any other relevant market exclusivity periods related to the reference brand drug. Generic drugs are bioequivalent to their reference brand name counterparts. Accordingly, generic products provide a safe, effective and cost-efficient alternative to users of these reference brand products. Branded generic pharmaceutical products are generic products that are more responsive to the promotion efforts generally used to promote brand products. Growth in the generic pharmaceutical industry has been, and will continue to be, driven by the increased market acceptance of generic drugs, as well as the number of brand drugs for which patent terms and/or other market exclusivities have expired.
We obtain new generic products primarily through internal product development. Additionally, we license or co-develop products through arrangements with other companies. All applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. Information to support the bioequivalence of generic drug products or the safety and effectiveness of new drug products for their intended use is also required to be submitted. There are generally two types of applications used for obtaining FDA approval of new products:
New Drug Application (“NDA”)
— An NDA is filed when approval is sought to market a newly developed branded product and, in certain instances, for a new dosage form, a new delivery system or a new indication for a previously approved drug.
ANDA —
An ANDA is filed when approval is sought to market a generic equivalent of a drug product previously approved under an NDA and listed in the FDA’s Orange Book or for a new dosage strength for a drug previously approved under an ANDA.
The ANDA development process is generally less time-consuming and complex than the NDA development process. It typically does not require new preclinical and clinical studies, because it relies on the studies establishing safety and efficacy conducted for the RLD previously approved through the NDA process. The ANDA process, however, does typically require one or more bioequivalence studies to show that the ANDA drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved reference listed brand drug. Bioequivalence studies compare the bioavailability of the proposed drug product with that of the RLD product containing the same active ingredient. Bioavailability is a measure of the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of action. Thus, a demonstration of bioequivalence confirms the absence of a significant difference between the proposed product and the reference listed brand drug in terms of the rate and extent to which the active ingredient or active moiety becomes available at the site of drug action when administered at the same molar dose under similar conditions.
Generic products are generally introduced to the marketplace at the expiration of patent protection for the brand product or at the end of a period of non-patent market exclusivity. However, if an ANDA applicant files an ANDA containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or unenforceability related to a patent listed in the Orange Book with respect to a reference drug product, the applicant may be able to market the generic equivalent prior to the expiration of patent protection for the brand product. Such patent certification is commonly referred to as a Paragraph IV certification. If the holder of the NDA sues, claiming infringement or invalidation, within
45
days of notification by the applicant, the FDA may not approve the ANDA application until the earlier of the rendering of a court decision favorable to the ANDA applicant or the expiration of
30
months. An ANDA applicant that is first to file a Paragraph IV certification is eligible for a period of generic marketing exclusivity. This exclusivity, which under certain circumstances may be required to be shared with other applicable ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications, lasts for
180
days, during which the FDA cannot grant final approval to other ANDA sponsors holding applications for a generic equivalent to the same reference drug.
In addition to patent exclusivity, the holder of the NDA for the listed drug may be entitled to a period of non-patent market exclusivity, during which the FDA cannot approve an application for a generic version product. If the reference drug is a new chemical entity, the FDA may not accept an ANDA for a generic product for up to five years following approval of the NDA for the new chemical entity. If it is not a new chemical entity, but the holder of the NDA conducted clinical trials essential to approval of the NDA or a supplement thereto, the FDA may not approve an ANDA for reference NDA product before the expiration of
three
years. Certain other periods of exclusivity may be available if the RLD is indicated for treatment of a rare disease or the sponsor conducts pediatric studies in accordance with FDA requirements.
Supplemental ANDAs are required for approval of various types of changes to an approved application and these supplements may be under review for six months or more. In addition, certain types of changes may only be approved once new bioequivalence studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied.
A number of branded pharmaceutical patent expirations are expected over the next several years. These patent expirations should provide additional generic product opportunities. We intend to concentrate our generic product development activities on branded products with significant sales in specialized or growing markets or in areas that offer significant opportunities and other competitive advantages. In addition, we intend to continue to focus our development efforts on technically difficult-to-formulate products or products that require advanced manufacturing technology.
The Biologic License Application (“BLA”) regulatory pathway was created to review and approve new applications for drugs that are typically produced in living cells. In 2010, in the context of the adoption of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — H.R. 3590 and the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 — H.R. 4872, an abbreviated pathway for the approval of generic versions of BLA-approved products (“biosimilars”) in the U.S. was created. This happened after legislation or regulatory guidance for abbreviated pathways for generic biologics were adopted in the past years in the EU, Japan and Canada. The FDA is working to implement these provisions and Mylan is a very active participant in this process.
An additional requirement for FDA approval of NDAs and ANDAs is that our manufacturing procedures and operations conform to FDA requirements and guidelines, generally referred to as current Good Manufacturing Practices
(“cGMP”). The requirements for FDA approval encompass all aspects of the production process, including validation and recordkeeping, the standards around which are continuously changing and evolving.
Facilities, procedures, operations and/or testing of products are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) and other authorities. In addition, the FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes are in compliance with cGMP and other FDA regulations. Our suppliers are subject to similar regulations and periodic inspections.
In 2012, the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (“FDASIA”) was enacted into law. FDASIA is intended to enhance the safety and security of the U.S. drug supply chain by holding all drug manufacturers supplying products to the U.S. to the same FDA inspection standards. Specifically, prior to the passage of FDASIA, U.S. law required U.S. based manufacturers to be inspected by FDA every two years but remained silent with respect to foreign manufacturers, causing some foreign manufacturers to go as many as nine years without a routine FDA cGMP inspection, according to the Government Accountability Office.
FDASIA also includes the Generic Drug User Fee Agreement (“GDUFA”), a novel user fee program to provide FDA with approximately
$1.5 billion
in total user fees through
2018
focused on three key aims:
Safety –
Ensure that industry participants, foreign or domestic, are held to consistent quality standards and are inspected with foreign and domestic parity using a risk-based approach.
Access –
Expedite the availability of generic drugs by bringing greater predictability to the review times for abbreviated new drug applications, amendments and supplements and improving timeliness in the review process.
Transparency –
Enhance FDA’s visibility into the complex global supply environment by requiring the identification of facilities involved in the manufacture of drugs and associated APIs, and improve FDA’s communications and feedback with industry.
Under GDUFA,
70%
of the total fees are being derived from facility fees paid by FDF manufacturers and API facilities listed or referenced in pending or approved generic drug applications. The remaining
30%
of the total fees are being derived from application fees, including generic drug application fees, prior approval supplement fees and DMF fees.
In Canada, the registration process for approval of all generic pharmaceuticals has two tracks that proceed in parallel. The first track of the process involves an examination of the proposed generic product by Health Canada, the Federal department responsible for national public health, to ensure that the quality, safety and efficacy of the proposed generic product meets Canadian standards and bioequivalence requirements and the second track concerns patent rights of the brand drug owner. Companies may submit an application called an abbreviated new drug submission (“ANDS”) to Health Canada for sale of the drug in Canada by comparing the drug to another drug marketed in Canada under a Notice of Compliance (“NOC”) issued to a first person. When Health Canada is satisfied that the generic pharmaceutical product described in the ANDS satisfies the statutory requirements, it issues an NOC for that product for the uses specified in the ANDS, subject to any court order that may be made in the second track of the approval process.
The second track of the approval process is governed by the Patented Medicines NOC Regulations (“Regulations”). The owner or exclusive licensee of patents relating to the brand drug for which it has an NOC may have established a list of patents administered by Health Canada enumerating all the patents claiming the medicinal ingredient, formulation, dosage form or the use of the medicinal ingredient. It is possible that even though the patent for the API may have expired, the originator may have other patents on the list which relate to new forms of the API, a formulation or additional uses. Most brand name drugs have an associated patent list containing one or more unexpired patents claiming the medicinal ingredient itself or a use of the medicinal ingredient (a claim for the use of the medicinal ingredient for the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or prevention of a disease, disorder or abnormal physical state or its symptoms). In its ANDS, a generic applicant must make at least one of the statutory allegations with respect to each patent on the patent list, for example, alleging that the patent is invalid or would not be infringed and explaining the basis for that allegation. In conjunction with filing its ANDS, the generic applicant is required to serve the originator a Notice of Allegation (“NOA”), which gives a detailed statement of the factual and legal basis for its allegations in the ANDS. The originator may commence a court application within
45
days after it has been served with the NOA, if it takes the position that the allegations are not justified. When the application is filed in court and served on Health Canada, Health Canada may not issue an NOC until the earlier of the determination of the application by the court after a hearing or the expiration of
24
months from the commencement of the application. The period may be shortened or lengthened by the court in certain circumstances. An NOC can be obtained for a generic product only if the generic respondent
is successful in dismissing the application under the Regulations in court. The legal costs incurred in connection with the application could be substantial.
Section C.08.004.1 of the Canadian Food and Drug Regulations is the so-called data protection provision, and the current version of this section applies in respect of all drugs for which an NOC was issued on or after June 17, 2006. A subsequent applicant for approval to market a drug for which an NOC has already been issued does not need to perform duplicate clinical trials similar to those conducted by the first NOC holder, but is permitted to demonstrate safety and efficacy by submitting data demonstrating that its formulation is bioequivalent to the formulation that was issued for the first NOC. The first party to obtain an NOC for a drug will have an eight-year period of exclusivity starting from the date it received its NOC based on those clinical data. A subsequent applicant for approval who seeks to establish safety and efficacy by comparing its product to the product that received the first NOC will not be able to file its own application until six years following the issuance of the first NOC have expired. The Minister of Health will not be permitted to issue an NOC to that applicant until eight years following the issuance of the first NOC have expired — this additional two-year period will correspond in most cases to the 24-month automatic stay under the Regulations. If the first person provides the Minister with the description and results of clinical trials relating to the use of the drug in pediatric populations, it will be entitled to an extra six months of data protection. A drug is only entitled to data protection so long as it is being marketed in Canada.
Facilities, procedures, operations and/or testing of products are subject to periodic inspection by Health Canada and the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate. In addition, Health Canada conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems are in compliance with the good manufacturing practices in Canada, Drug Establishment Licensing (“EL”) requirements and other provisions of the Regulations. Competitors are subject to similar regulations and inspections.
The provinces and territories in Canada operate drug benefit programs through which eligible recipients receive drugs through public funding; these drugs are listed on provincial or territorial Drug Benefit Formularies (each, a “Formulary”). Eligible recipients include seniors, persons on social assistance, low-income earners and those with certain specified conditions or diseases. Formulary listings are also used by private payors to reimburse generic products. To be listed in a Formulary, drug products must have been issued an NOC and must comply with each jurisdiction’s individual review process.
The primary regulatory approval for pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and importers selling pharmaceuticals to be marketed in Canada is the issuance of an EL. An EL is issued once Health Canada has approved the facility in which the pharmaceuticals are manufactured, distributed or imported. A key requirement for approval of a facility is compliance with the good manufacturing practices in Canada. For pharmaceuticals that are imported, the license for the importing facility must list all foreign sites at which imported pharmaceuticals are manufactured. To be listed, a foreign site must demonstrate compliance with the good manufacturing practices in Canada.
Europe
The EU presents complex challenges from a regulatory perspective. There is over-arching legislation which is then implemented at a local level by the 28 individual member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Between 1995 and 1998, the legislation was revised in an attempt to simplify and harmonize product registration. This revised legislation introduced the mutual recognition (“MR”) procedure, whereby after submission and approval by the authorities of the so-called reference member state (“RMS”), further applications can be submitted into the other chosen member states (known as concerned member states (“CMS”)). Theoretically, the authorization of the RMS should be mutually recognized by the CMS. More typically, however, a degree of re-evaluation is carried out by the CMS. In November 2005, this legislation was further revised. In addition to the MR procedure, the decentralized procedure (“DCP”) was introduced. The DCP is also led by the RMS, but applications are simultaneously submitted to all selected countries, provided that no national marketing authorization has been granted yet for the medicinal product in question. From 2005, the centralized procedure operated by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) became available for generic versions of innovator products approved through the centralized authorization procedure. The centralized procedure results in a single marketing authorization, which, once granted, can be used by the marketing-authorization holder to file for individual country reimbursement and make the medicine available in all the EU countries listed on the application.
In the EU, as well as many other locations around the world, the manufacture and sale of pharmaceutical products is regulated in a manner substantially similar to that of the U.S. requirements, which generally prohibit the handling, manufacture, marketing and importation of any pharmaceutical product unless it is properly registered in accordance with applicable law. The registration file relating to any particular product must contain medical data related to product efficacy and safety, including results of clinical testing and references to medical publications, as well as detailed information regarding production
methods and quality control. Health ministries are authorized to cancel the registration of a product if it is found to be harmful or ineffective or if it is manufactured or marketed other than in accordance with registration conditions.
Pursuant to the MR procedure, a marketing authorization is first sought in one member state from the national regulatory agency (the RMS). The RMS makes its assessment report on the quality, efficacy and safety of the medicinal product available to the other CMSs where marketing authorizations are also sought under the MR procedure.
The DCP is based on the same fundamental idea as the MR procedure. In contrast to the MR procedure, however, the DCP requires that no national marketing authorization has yet been granted for the medicinal product. The pharmaceutical company applies for marketing authorization simultaneously in all the member states of the EU in which it wants to market the product. After consultation with the pharmaceutical company, one of the member states concerned in the DCP will become the RMS. The competent agency of the RMS undertakes the scientific evaluation of the medicinal product on behalf of the other CMSs and coordinates the procedure. If all the member states involved (RMS and CMS) agree to grant marketing authorizations, this decision forms the basis for the granting of the national marketing authorizations in the respective member states.
Neither the MR nor DCPs result in automatic approval in all member states. If any member state has objections, particularly in relation to potential serious risk to public health, which cannot be resolved within the procedure scope and timelines, they will be referred to the coordination group for MR and DCPs and reviewed in a
60
-day procedure. If this
60
-day procedure does not result in a consensus by all member states, the product can be marketed in the countries whose health authorities agree that the product can be licensed. The issue raised will then enter a second referral procedure.
As with the MR procedure, the advantage of the DCP is that the pharmaceutical company receives identical marketing authorizations for its medicinal product in all the member states of the EU in which it wants to market the product. This leads to considerable streamlining of all regulatory activities in regard to the product. Variations, line extensions, renewals, etc. are also handled in a coordinated manner with the RMS leading the activity.
Once a DCP has been completed, the pharmaceutical company can subsequently apply for marketing authorizations for the medicinal product in additional EU member states by means of the MR procedure.
All products, whether centrally authorized or authorized by the MR or DCP, may only be sold in other member states if the product information is in the official language of the state in which the product will be sold, which effectively requires specific packaging and labeling of the product.
Under the national procedure, a company applies for a marketing authorization in one member state. The national procedure can now only be used if the pharmaceutical company does not seek authorization in more than one member state. If it does seek wider marketing authorizations, it must use the MR or DCP.
Before a generic pharmaceutical product can be marketed in the EU, a marketing authorization must be obtained. If a generic pharmaceutical product is shown to be essentially the same as, or bioequivalent to, one that is already on the market and which has been authorized in the EU for a specified number of years, as explained in the section on data exclusivity below, no further preclinical or clinical trials are required for that new generic pharmaceutical product to be authorized. The generic applicant can file an abridged application for marketing authorization, but in order to take advantage of the abridged procedure, the generic manufacturer must demonstrate specific similarities, including bioequivalence, to the already authorized product. Access to clinical data of the reference drug is governed by the European laws relating to data exclusivity, which are outlined below. Other products, such as new dosages of established products, must be subjected to further testing, and “bridging data” in respect of these further tests must be submitted along with the abridged application.
An applicant for a generic marketing authorization currently cannot avail itself of the abridged procedure in the EU by relying on the originator pharmaceutical company’s data until expiry of the relevant period of exclusivity given to that data. For products first authorized prior to
October 30, 2005
, this period is
six
or
ten
years (depending on the member state in question and/or the regulatory procedure used by the originator) after the grant of the first marketing authorization sought for the relevant product, due to data exclusivity provisions which have been in place. From
October 30, 2005
, the implementation of a new EU directive (2004/27/EC) harmonized the data exclusivity period for originator pharmaceutical products throughout the EU member states, which were legally obliged to have implemented the directive by
October 30, 2005
. The new regime for data exclusivity provides for an
eight
-year data exclusivity period commencing from the grant of first marketing authorization. After the
eight
-year period has expired, a generic applicant can refer to the data of the originator pharmaceutical company in order to file an abridged application for approval of its generic equivalent product. Yet, conducting the necessary studies and trials for an abridged application, within the data exclusivity period, is not regarded as contrary to patent rights or to
supplementary protection certificates for medicinal products. However, the applicant will not be able to launch its product for an additional
two
years. This
ten
-year total period may be extended to
11
years if the original marketing authorization holder obtains, within those initial eight years, a further authorization for a new therapeutic use of the product which is shown to be of significant clinical benefit. Further, specific data exclusivity for one year may be obtained for a new indication for a well-established substance, provided that significant preclinical or clinical studies were carried out in relation to the new indication. This new regime for data exclusivity applies to products first authorized after
October 30, 2005
.
In addition to obtaining approval for each product, in most EU countries the pharmaceutical product manufacturer’s facilities must obtain approval from the national supervisory authority. The EU has a code of good manufacturing practice, with which the marketing authorization holder must comply. Regulatory authorities in the EU may conduct inspections of the manufacturing facilities to review procedures, operating systems and personnel qualifications.
In order to control expenditures on pharmaceuticals, most member states in the EU regulate the pricing and reimbursement of products and in some cases limit the range of different forms of drugs available for prescription by national health services. These controls can result in considerable price differences between member states. In addition, in past years, as part of overall programs to reduce health care costs, certain European governments have prohibited price increases and have introduced various systems designed to lower prices. Some European governments have also set minimum targets for generics prescribing.
Certain markets in which
Mylan
does business have recently undergone, some for the first time, or will soon undergo, government-imposed price reductions or similar pricing pressures on pharmaceutical products. In addition, a number of markets in which we operate have implemented or may implement tender, or tender-like, systems for generic pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices. Such measures are likely to have a negative impact on sales and gross profit in these markets. However, some pro-generic government initiatives in certain markets could help to offset some of this unfavorable effect by potentially increasing generic utilization.
Rest of World
Australia
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most highly regulated industries in Australia. The Australian government is heavily involved in the operation of the industry, through the registration of medicines and licensing of manufacturing facilities, as well as subsidizing patient cost of most prescription medicines sold in Australia. The Australian government authority, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (the “TGA”), regulates the quality, safety and efficacy of therapeutic goods and is responsible for granting authorization to market pharmaceutical products in Australia and for inspecting and approving manufacturing facilities.
The TGA operates according to the Commonwealth of Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth) (the “Act”). Specifically the Act regulates the registration, listing, quality, safety, efficacy, promotion and sale of therapeutic goods, including pharmaceuticals, supplied in Australia. The TGA carries out a range of assessment and monitoring activities to ensure that therapeutic goods available in Australia are of an acceptable standard with a goal of ensuring that the Australian community has access within a reasonable time to therapeutic advances. Australian manufacturers of all medicines must be licensed under Part 3-3 of the Act and their manufacturing processes must comply with the principles of the good manufacturing practices in Australia. Similar standards and audits apply for both domestic and foreign manufactured products.
Generic medicines are subject to an abbreviated review process by the TGA, if the product can demonstrate essential similarity to the originator brand. Essential similarity means the same active ingredient in the same dose form, delivering the active ingredient to the patient at the same rate and extent, compared to the original brand. If proven, safety and efficacy is assumed to be the same.
All therapeutic goods manufactured for supply in Australia must be listed or registered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (the “ARTG”), before they can be promoted or supplied for use and/or sale in Australia. The ARTG is a database kept for the purpose of compiling information in relation to therapeutic goods for use in humans and lists therapeutic goods which are approved for supply in Australia.
Medicines assessed as having a higher level of risk must be registered, while those with a lower level of risk can be listed. The majority of listed medicines are self-selected by consumers and used for self-treatment. In assessing the level of risk, factors such as the strength of a product, side effects, potential harm through prolonged use, toxicity and the seriousness of the medical condition for which the product is intended to be used are taken into account.
Labeling, packaging and advertising of pharmaceutical products are also regulated by the Act and other relevant statutes including fair trading laws and pharmaceutical industry codes.
Australia has a five-year data exclusivity period, whereby any data relating to a pharmaceutical product cannot be referred to or used in the examination by the TGA of another company's dossier, until five years after the original product was approved.
The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (the “PBS”), which has been in place since 1948, subsidizes the cost to consumers of medicines listed on the PBS, if the medicines have demonstrated acceptable clinical need, cost and effectiveness. The goal of the PBS is to make medicines available at the lowest cost compatible with reliable supply and to base access on medical need rather than ability to pay.
The government exerts a significant degree of control over the pharmaceuticals market through the PBS. More than 80% of all prescription medicine sold in Australia is reimbursed by the PBS. The PBS is operated under the Commonwealth of Australia's National Health Act 1953. This statute governs matters such as who may sell pharmaceutical products, the prices at which pharmaceutical products may be sold to consumers and the prices government pays manufacturers, wholesalers and pharmacists for subsidized medicines.
If a new medicine is to be considered for listing on the PBS, the price is determined through a full health economic analysis submitted to the government's advisory committee, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (the “PBAC”), based on incremental benefit to health outcome. If the incremental benefit justifies the price requested, the PBAC then makes a recommendation to the government to consider listing the product on the PBS. In May 2014, as part of a government reform program in Australia, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Pricing Authority was abolished and the Minister for Health (“Minister”), or delegate, considers pricing matters for approximately five to six weeks following PBAC meetings. Factors contributing to pricing decisions include items such as information on the claims made in a submission, advice from the PBAC, information about the proposed price, the price and use of comparative medicines and the cost of producing the medicine although with additional associated costs. The Minister may recommend that the proposed price is accepted; further negotiations take place for a lower price or prices within a specific range; or for some products, risk sharing arrangements to be developed and agreed upon. The Australian government's purchasing power is used to obtain lower prices as a means of controlling the cost of the program. The PBS also stipulates the wholesaler margin for drugs listed on the PBS. Wholesalers therefore have little pricing power over the majority of their product range and as a result are unable to increase profitability by increasing prices.
Following entry of the first generic products onto the market, the PBS price reimbursed to pharmacies
decreases
by
16%
for both the originator product and generic products with a brand equivalence indicator permitting substitution at the pharmacy level. Thereafter, both the originator and generic suppliers are required to disclose pricing information relating to the sale of medicines to the Price Disclosure Data Administrator, and
twelve
months (up until October 2014, it was 18 months) after initial generic entry, there is a further PBS price reduction based on the weighted average disclosed price if the weighted average disclosed price is
10%
or more below the existing PBS price. Ongoing price disclosure cycles and calculation of the weighted average disclosed price occur every
six
months, and further reductions are made to the PBS price whenever the weighted average disclosed price is
10%
or more below the existing PBS price. The price disclosure system has had, and will continue to have for several years beyond 2014, a negative impact on sales and gross profit in this market.
Japan
In Japan, we are governed by various laws and regulations, including the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (Law No. 145, 1960), as amended by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Law (“PMDL”), and the Products Liability Law (Law No. 85, 1994). The PMDL was amended in November 2014 to establish a fast-track authorization process for regenerative medicine products, restructure medical device regulation and establish reporting obligations for package inserts for drugs and medical devices. Regenerative medicine products are newly defined under the amended PMDL as a product for medical use in humans to reconstruct, restore, or form the structure or function of a human body, in which cells of humans are cultured or otherwise processed.
Under the amended PMDL, there are two routes to obtain authorization to manufacture and market a medicine product. The first route is the standard authorization system for drugs in which the efficacy and safety of the product must be shown in order to obtain authorization. The standard authorization procedure may take a significant amount of time to launch a regenerative medicine product because the quality of regenerative medicine products is heterogeneous by nature and therefore it is difficult to collect the data necessary to evaluate and demonstrate the efficacy. As such, the amended PMDL instituted the second route as follows: if the regenerative medicine product is heterogeneous, the efficacy of the regenerative medicine
product is assumed. Thus, if the safety of the regenerative medicine product is demonstrated through clinical trials, the Minister of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (“MHLW”) may authorize the applicant to manufacture and market the regenerative medicine product with certain conditions for a fixed term after receiving an expert opinion from the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council.
The amended PMDL also restructured medical device regulations including expanding the scope for certification in accordance with the classifications agreed upon by the Global Harmonization Task Force, new regulations on medical device software in which software may be authorized as a medical device independent of the medical device hardware into which it is incorporated, system change for medical device manufacturing so that a company may manufacture a medical device when the company registers such medical device and streamlined Quality Management Service Inspection such that the inspection is performed for each category of medical products.
In addition, under the amended PMDL, the holder of a business license for the manufacture and marketing of regenerative medicine products or medical devices must notify the MHLW of the contents of the package insert, including any cautionary statements necessary to use and deal with the products, before it manufactures and markets them. The license holder must also publish the contents of the package inserts on the website of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency.
Under the amended PMDL, the retailing or supply of a pharmaceutical that a person has manufactured (including manufacturing under license) or imported is defined as “marketing,” and in order to market pharmaceuticals, one has to obtain a license, which we refer to herein as a Marketing License, from the MHLW. The authority to grant the “Marketing License,” is delegated to prefectural governors; therefore, the relevant application must be filed with the relevant prefectural governor. A Marketing License will not be granted if the quality control system for the pharmaceutical for which the Marketing License has been applied or the post-marketing safety management system for the relevant pharmaceutical does not comply with the standards specified by the relevant Ministerial Ordinance made under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
In addition to the Marketing License, a person intending to market a pharmaceutical must, for each product, obtain marketing approval from the MHLW with respect to such marketing, which we refer to herein as “Marketing Approval.” Marketing Approval is granted subject to examination of the name, ingredients, quantities, structure, administration and dosage, method of use, indications and effects, performance and adverse reactions, and the quality, efficacy and safety of the pharmaceutical. A person intending to obtain Marketing Approval must attach materials, such as data related to the results of clinical trials (including a bioequivalence study, in the case of generic pharmaceuticals) or conditions of usage in foreign countries. Japan provides for market exclusivity through a re- examination system, which prevents the entry of generic pharmaceuticals until the end of the re-examination period, which can be up to
eight
years, and
ten
years in the case of drugs used to treat rare diseases (“orphan drugs”).
The authority to grant Marketing Approval in relation to pharmaceuticals for certain specified purposes (e.g., cold medicines and decongestants) is delegated to the prefectural governors by the MHLW, and applications in relation to such pharmaceuticals must be filed with the governor of the relevant prefecture where the relevant company’s head office is located. Applications for pharmaceuticals for which the authority to grant the Marketing Approval remains with the MHLW must be filed with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. When an application is submitted for a pharmaceutical whose active ingredients, quantities, administration and dosage, method of use, indications and effects are distinctly different from those of pharmaceuticals which have already been approved, the MHLW must seek the opinion of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council.
The amended PMDL provides that when (a) the pharmaceutical that is the subject of an application is shown not to result in the indicated effects or performance indicated in the application, (b) the pharmaceutical is found to have no value as a pharmaceutical because it has harmful effects outweighing its indicated effects or performance, or (c) in addition to (a) and (b) above, when the pharmaceutical falls within the category designated by the relevant Ministerial Ordinance as not being appropriate as a pharmaceutical, Marketing Approval shall not be granted.
The MHLW must cancel a Marketing Approval, after hearing the opinion of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council, when the MHLW finds that the relevant pharmaceutical falls under any of (a) through (c) above. In addition, the MHLW can order the amendment of a Marketing Approval when it is necessary to do so from the viewpoint of public health and hygiene. Moreover, the MHLW can order the cancellation or amendment of a Marketing Approval when (1) the necessary materials for re-examination or re-evaluation, which the MHLW has ordered considering the character of pharmaceuticals, have not been submitted, false materials have been submitted or the materials submitted do not comply with the criteria specified by the MHLW, (2) the relevant company’s Marketing License has expired or has been canceled (a Marketing License needs to be renewed every
five
years), (3) the regulations regarding investigations of facilities in relation to manufacturing management standards or quality control have been violated, (4) the conditions set in relation to the Marketing
Approval have been violated, or (5) the relevant pharmaceutical has not been marketed for
three
consecutive years without a due reason.
Doctors and pharmacists providing medical services pursuant to national health insurance are prohibited from using pharmaceuticals other than those specified by the MHLW. The MHLW also specifies the standards of pharmaceutical prices, which we refer to herein as Drug Price Standards. The Drug Price Standards are used as the basis of the calculation of the price paid by medical insurance for pharmaceuticals. The governmental policy relating to medical services and the health insurance system, as well as the Drug Price Standards, is revised every
two
years.
Brazil
In Brazil, pharmaceutical manufacturers and products are regulated by the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance (“ANVISA”). ANVISA is a governmental body directly linked to the Ministry of Health, responsible for promoting the protection of the health of the population through the sanitary control of production, storage, distribution, importation and marketing of products and services subject to sanitary surveillance. ANVISA is responsible for registering drugs and supervising quality control, as well as issuing licenses to companies for the manufacturing, handling, packaging, distribution, advertising, importation and exportation of pharmaceutical products.
API
The primary regulatory oversight of API manufacturers is through inspection of the manufacturing facility in which APIs are produced, as well as the manufacturing processes and standards employed in the facility. The regulatory process by which API manufacturers generally register their products for commercial sale in the U.S. and other similarly regulated countries is via the filing of a DMF. DMFs are confidential documents containing information on the manufacturing facility and processes used in the manufacture, characterization, quality control, packaging and storage of an API. The DMF is reviewed for completeness by the FDA, or other similar regulatory agencies in other countries, in conjunction with applications filed by FDF manufacturers, requesting approval to use the given API in the production of their drug products.
Specialty Segment
The process required by the FDA before a pharmaceutical product with active ingredients that have not been previously approved may be marketed in the U.S. generally involves the following:
|
|
•
|
laboratory and preclinical tests;
|
|
|
•
|
submission of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application, which must become effective before clinical studies may begin;
|
|
|
•
|
adequate and well-controlled human clinical studies to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed product for its intended use;
|
|
|
•
|
submission of an NDA containing the results of the preclinical tests and clinical studies establishing the safety and efficacy of the proposed product for its intended use, as well as extensive data addressing matters such as manufacturing and quality assurance;
|
|
|
•
|
scale-up to commercial manufacturing; and
|
|
|
•
|
FDA approval of an NDA.
|
Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of the product and its chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as toxicology and pharmacology studies to help define the pharmacological profile of the drug and assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. The results of these studies are submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. They must demonstrate that the product delivers sufficient quantities of the drug to the bloodstream or intended site of action to produce the desired therapeutic results before human clinical trials may begin. These studies must also provide the appropriate supportive safety information necessary for the FDA to determine whether the clinical studies proposed to be conducted under the IND can safely proceed. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA, during that 30-day period, raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the proposed trials, as outlined in the IND. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials may begin. In addition, an independent institutional review board must review and approve any clinical study prior to initiation.
Human clinical studies are typically conducted in three sequential phases, which may overlap:
|
|
•
|
Phase I –
The drug is initially introduced into a relatively small number of healthy human subjects or patients and is tested for safety, dosage tolerance, mechanism of action, absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion.
|
|
|
•
|
Phase II –
Studies are performed with a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to assess the efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases or conditions, and to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage.
|
|
|
•
|
Phase III –
When Phase II evaluations demonstrate that a dosage range of the product is effective and has an acceptable safety profile, Phase III trials are undertaken to evaluate further dosage and clinical efficacy and to test further for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites.
|
The results of the product development, preclinical studies and clinical studies are then submitted to the FDA as part of the NDA. The NDA drug development and approval process could take from
three
to
more than
ten
years.
Research and Development
R&D efforts are conducted on a global basis, primarily to enable us to develop, manufacture and market approved pharmaceutical products in accordance with applicable government regulations. Through various acquisitions, we have significantly bolstered our global R&D capabilities over the past several years, particularly in injectables and respiratory therapies. In the U.S., our largest market, the FDA is the principal regulatory body with respect to pharmaceutical products. Each of our other markets has separate pharmaceutical regulatory bodies, including, but not limited to, the Agence Nationale de Securite du Medicament et de Sante in France, Health Canada, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the U.K., the EMA (a decentralized body of the EU), the Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte in Germany, the Irish Medicines Board in Ireland, the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco in Italy, the Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios in Spain, the TGA in Australia, the MHLW in Japan, Drug Controller General of India, ANVISA in Brazil and the World Health Organization (“WHO”), the regulatory body of the United Nations.
Our global R&D strategy emphasizes the following areas:
|
|
•
|
development of both branded and generic finished dose products for the global marketplace, including ARV programs;
|
|
|
•
|
development of pharmaceutical products that are technically difficult to formulate or manufacture because of either unusual factors that affect their stability or bioequivalence or unusually stringent regulatory requirements;
|
|
|
•
|
development of novel controlled-release technologies and the application of these technologies to reference products;
|
|
|
•
|
development of drugs that target smaller, specialized or underserved markets;
|
|
|
•
|
development of generic drugs that represent first-to-file opportunities in the U.S. market;
|
|
|
•
|
expansion of the existing oral solid dosage product portfolio, including with respect to additional dosage strengths;
|
|
|
•
|
development of injectable products;
|
|
|
•
|
development of unit dose oral inhalation products for nebulization;
|
|
|
•
|
development of compounds using a dry powder inhaler and/or metered-dose inhaler for the treatment of asthma, COPD and other respiratory therapies;
|
|
|
•
|
development of monoclonal anti-bodies (“biologics”);
|
|
|
•
|
completion of additional preclinical and clinical studies for approved NDA products required by the FDA, known as post-approval (Phase IV) commitments; and
|
|
|
•
|
conduct life-cycle management studies intended to further define the profile of products subject to pending or approved NDAs.
|
The success of generic biologics in the marketplace and our ability to be successful in this emerging market will depend on the implementation of balanced scientific standards for approval, while not imposing excessive clinical testing
demands or other hurdles for well-established products. Furthermore, an efficient patent resolution mechanism and a well-defined mechanism to grant interchangeability after the establishment of biosimilarity with the reference biological product will be key elements determining our future success in this area.
We have a robust generic pipeline. As of
December 31, 2014
, we had approximately
3,300
country level product approvals pending. During
2014
, we completed
767
global country level product submissions, which included
64
in North America,
510
in Europe and
193
in Rest of World. These submissions included those for existing products in new markets as well as products new to the Mylan portfolio.
During the year ended
December 31, 2014
, we received
513
product approvals globally, including individual country level approvals. Of that total, there were
101
approvals in North America, including
65
in the U.S.,
239
approvals in Europe and
173
approvals in Rest of World, of which
42
approvals were for ARV products. The
42
country level ARV approvals received consisted of
14
products in
13
different countries, with
seven
ARV approvals in the U.S. based upon the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The
65
approvals in the U.S. consisted of
54
final ANDA approvals and
11
tentative ANDA approvals. The
239
approvals in Europe covered
80
different products resulting in a total of
639
product marketing licenses. The
173
approvals in Rest of World included
131
approvals from emerging markets which represented
41
products in
24
countries.
As of
December 31, 2014
, we had
283
ANDAs pending FDA approval, representing approximately
$111.3 billion
in annual sales for the brand name equivalents of these products for the year ended December 31,
2014
. Of those pending product applications,
44
were first-to-file Paragraph IV ANDA patent challenges, representing approximately
$29.3 billion
in annual brand sales for the year ended December 31,
2014
. The historic branded drug sales are not indicative of future generic sales, but are included to illustrate the size of the branded product market. Our R&D spending was
$582 million
,
$508 million
and
$401 million
for the years ended December 31,
2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
We own or license a number of patents in the U.S. and other countries covering certain products and have also developed brand names and trademarks for other products. Generally, the brand pharmaceutical business relies upon patent protection to ensure market exclusivity for the life of the patent. We consider the overall protection of our patents, trademarks and license rights to be of significant value and act to protect these rights from infringement. However, our business is not dependent upon any single patent, trademark or license.
In the branded pharmaceutical industry, the majority of an innovative product’s commercial value is usually realized during the period in which the product has market exclusivity. In the U.S. and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there can often be very substantial and rapid declines in the branded product’s sales. The rate of this decline varies by country and by therapeutic category; however, following patent expiration, branded products often continue to have market viability based upon the goodwill of the product name, which typically benefits from trademark protection.
An innovator product’s market exclusivity is generally determined by two forms of intellectual property: patent rights held by the innovator company and any regulatory forms of exclusivity to which the innovator is entitled.
Patents are a key determinant of market exclusivity for most branded pharmaceuticals. Patents provide the innovator with the right to lawfully exclude others from practicing an invention related to the medicine. Patents may cover, among other things, the active ingredient(s), various uses of a drug product, pharmaceutical formulations, drug delivery mechanisms and processes for (or intermediates useful in) the manufacture of products. Protection for individual products extends for varying periods in accordance with the expiration dates of patents in the various countries. The protection afforded, which may also vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, its scope of coverage and the availability of meaningful legal remedies in the country.
Market exclusivity is also sometimes influenced by regulatory intellectual property rights. Many developed countries provide certain non-patent incentives for the development of medicines. For example, the U.S., the EU and Japan each provide for a minimum period of time after the approval of a new drug during which the regulatory agency may not rely upon the innovator’s data to approve a competitor’s generic copy. Regulatory intellectual property rights are also available in certain markets as incentives for research on new indications, on orphan drugs and on medicines useful in treating pediatric patients. Regulatory intellectual property rights are independent of any patent rights and can be particularly important when a drug lacks broad patent protection. However, most regulatory forms of exclusivity do not prevent a competitor from gaining regulatory
approval prior to the expiration of regulatory data exclusivity on the basis of the competitor’s own safety and efficacy data on its drug, even when that drug is identical to that marketed by the innovator.
We estimate the likely market exclusivity period for each of our branded products on a case-by-case basis. It is not possible to predict the length of market exclusivity for any of our branded products with certainty because of the complex interaction between patent and regulatory forms of exclusivity and inherent uncertainties concerning patent litigation. There can be no assurance that a particular product will enjoy market exclusivity for the full period of time that we currently estimate or that the exclusivity will be limited to the estimate.
In addition to patents and regulatory forms of exclusivity, we also market products with trademarks. Trademarks have no effect on market exclusivity for a product, but are considered to have marketing value. Trademark protection continues in some countries as long as used; in other countries, as long as registered. Registration is for fixed terms and may be renewed indefinitely.
Customers and Marketing
Generics Segment
In North America, we market products directly to wholesalers, distributors, retail pharmacy chains, long-term care facilities, mail order pharmacies and GPOs. We also market our generic products indirectly to independent pharmacies, managed care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacy benefit management companies and government entities. These customers, called “indirect customers,” purchase our products primarily through our wholesale customers. In North America, wholesalers and retail drug chains have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation, which may result in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage.
In Europe and Rest of World, generic pharmaceuticals are sold to wholesalers, independent pharmacies and, in certain countries, directly to hospitals. Through a broad network of sales representatives, we adapt our marketing strategy to the different markets as dictated by their respective regulatory and competitive landscapes. Our API are sold primarily to generic FDF manufacturers throughout the world, as well as to other
Mylan
subsidiaries.
Specialty Segment
Mylan Specialty
markets its products to a number of different customer audiences in the U.S., including health care practitioners, wholesalers, pharmacists and pharmacy chains, hospitals, payers, pharmacy benefit manager, health maintenance organizations (“HMOs”), home health care, long-term care and patients. We reach these customers through our field-based sales force and National Accounts team of approximately
370
employees, to increase our customers’ understanding of the unique clinical characteristics and benefits of our branded products. Additionally,
Mylan Specialty
supports educational programs to consumers and patients.

Consistent with industry practice, we have a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. See the Application of Critical Accounting Policies section of our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” for a discussion of our more significant revenue recognition provisions.
Competition
Our primary competitors include other generic companies (both major multinational generic drug companies and various local generic drug companies) and branded drug companies that continue to sell or license branded pharmaceutical products after patent expirations and other statutory expirations. In the branded space, key competitors are generally other branded drug companies that compete based on their clinical characteristics and benefits.
Competitive factors in the major markets in which we participate can be summarized as follows:
United States.
The U.S. pharmaceutical industry is very competitive. Our competitors vary depending upon therapeutic areas and product categories. Primary competitors include the major manufacturers of brand name and generic pharmaceuticals.
The primary means of competition are innovation and development, timely FDA approval, manufacturing capabilities, product quality, marketing, portfolio size, customer service, reputation and price. The environment of the U.S. pharmaceutical marketplace is highly sensitive to price. To compete effectively, we rely on cost-effective manufacturing processes to meet the rapidly changing needs of our customers around a reliable, high quality supply of generic pharmaceutical products. With regard to our Specialty segment business, significant sales and marketing effort is required to be directed to each targeted customer segment in order to compete effectively.
Our competitors include other generic manufacturers, as well as brand companies that license their products to generic manufacturers prior to patent expiration or as relevant patents expire. Further regulatory approval is not required for a brand manufacturer to sell its pharmaceutical products directly or through a third-party to the generic market, nor do such manufacturers face any other significant barriers to entry into such market. Related to our Specialty segment business, our competitors include branded manufacturers who offer products for the treatment of COPD and severe allergies, as well as brand companies that license their products to generic manufacturers prior to patent expiration.
The U.S. pharmaceutical market is undergoing, and is expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant technological changes, and we expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made. We intend to compete in this marketplace by (1) developing therapeutic equivalents to branded products that offer unique marketing opportunities, are difficult to formulate and/or have significant market size, (2) developing or licensing brand pharmaceutical products that are either patented or proprietary and (3) developing or licensing pharmaceutical products that are primarily for indications having relatively large patient populations or that have limited or inadequate treatments available, among other strategies.
Our sales can be impacted by new studies that indicate that a competitor’s product has greater efficacy for treating a disease or particular form of a disease than one of our products. Sales on some of our products can also be impacted by additional labeling requirements relating to safety or convenience that may be imposed on our products by the FDA or by similar regulatory agencies. If competitors introduce new products and processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions and/or decreased volume of sales.
Medicaid, a U.S. federal health care program, requires all pharmaceutical manufacturers to pay rebates to state Medicaid agencies. The rebates are based on the volume of drugs that are reimbursed by the states for Medicaid beneficiaries. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amends the PPACA, raised the rebate percentages effective January 1, 2010. The required rebate is currently
13%
of the average manufacturer’s price for sales of Medicaid-reimbursed non-innovator products, up from
11%
for periods prior to 2010. Sales of Medicaid-reimbursed innovator or single-source products require manufacturers to rebate the greater of approximately
23%
(up from
15%
) of the average manufacturer’s price or the difference between the average manufacturer’s price and the best price during a specific period. We believe that federal or state governments may continue to enact measures aimed at reducing the cost of drugs to the public.
Under Part D of the Medicare Modernization Act, Medicare beneficiaries are eligible to obtain discounted prescription drug coverage from private sector providers. As a result, usage of pharmaceuticals has increased, which is a trend that we believe will continue to benefit the generic pharmaceutical industry. However, such potential sales increases may be offset by increased pricing pressures, due to the enhanced purchasing power of the private sector providers that are negotiating on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries.
Canada.
Canada is a well-established generics market characterized by a number of local and multi-national competitors. The individual Canadian provinces control pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. A number of Canada’s
provinces are moving towards a tender system, which has and may continue to negatively affect the pricing of pharmaceutical products.
France.
Generic penetration in France is relatively low compared to other large pharmaceutical markets, with low prices resulting from government initiatives. As pharmacists are the primary customers in this market, established relationships, driven by breadth of portfolio and effective supply chain management, are key competitive advantages.
Italy.
The Italian generic market is relatively small due to few incentives for market stakeholders and in part to low prices on available brand name drugs. Also to be considered is the fact that the generic market in Italy suffered a certain delay compared to other European countries due to extended patent protection. The Italian government has put forth only limited measures aimed at increasing generic usage, and as such generic substitution is still in its early stages. Pharmacists will play a key role in future market expansion, due to higher margins provided by generic versus branded products.
United Kingdom.
The U.K. is one of the most competitive markets, with low barriers to entry and a high degree of fragmentation. Competition among manufacturers, along with indirect control of pricing by the government, has led to strong downward pricing pressure. Companies in the U.K. will continue to compete on price, with consistent supply chain and breadth of product portfolio also coming into play.
Spain.
Spain is a rapidly growing, highly fragmented generic market with many participants. As a result of recent legislative changes, all regions within Spain will move to INN prescribing and substitution, thus making the pharmacists the key driver of generic usage. Within the last two years, the Andalusia region, representing
20%
of the total market, has evolved into a tendering commercial model. However, it is currently anticipated that this move could be gradually reversed due to Central Government opposition. Companies compete in Spain based on being first to market, offering a wide portfolio, building strong relationships with customers and providing a consistent supply of quality products.
The Netherlands.
The Netherlands market has become highly competitive as a result of a large number of generic players, one of the highest generic penetration rates in Europe and the continued use of a tender system. Under a tender system, health insurers are entitled to issue invitations to tender products. Pricing pressures resulting from an effort to win the tender should drive near-term competition. Mylan is able to play a significant role in tenders but also has strong non-tendered sales which provides further opportunities for growth.
Germany.
The German market has become highly competitive as a result of a large number of generic players, one of the highest generic penetration rates in Europe, and the continued use of a tender system. Pricing pressures resulting from an effort to win the tender should drive near-term competition.
Poland.
Poland is a mature and well-established generics market characterized by a high level of generic penetration in comparison to other large European pharmaceutical markets. Generic substitution is permitted, but not obligatory and pricing is indirectly controlled by the government. There are a large number of local and multi-national competitors within the market.
India.
Intense competition by other API suppliers in the Indian pharmaceuticals market has, in recent years, led to increased pressure on prices. We expect that the exports of API and generic FDF products from India to developed markets will continue to increase. The success of Indian pharmaceutical companies is attributable to established development expertise in chemical synthesis and process engineering, development of FDF, availability of highly skilled labor and the low cost manufacturing base.
The Indian commercial market is a rapidly growing, highly fragmented generic market with a significant number of participants. Companies compete in India based on price, product portfolio and the ability to provide a consistent supply of quality products.
Australia.
The Australian generic market is small by international standards, in terms of prescriptions, value and the number of active participants. Patent extensions that delayed patent expiration are somewhat responsible for under-penetration of generic products.
Japan.
Historically, government initiatives have kept all drug prices low, resulting in little incentive for generic usage. More recent pro-generic actions by the government should lead to growth in the generics market, in which doctors, pharmacists and hospital purchasers will all play a key role.
Brazil.
The Brazilian pharmaceutical market is the largest in South America. Since the entry in force of generic drug laws in Brazil, the generic segment of the pharmaceutical market has grown rapidly. The industry is highly competitive with a broad presence of multinational and national competitors.
Product Liability
Global product liability litigation represents an inherent risk to firms in the pharmaceutical industry. We utilize a combination of self-insurance (including through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary) and traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects market conditions, including cost and availability, existing at the time the policy is written and the decision to obtain commercial insurance coverage or to self-insure varies accordingly.
Raw Materials
Mylan
utilizes a global approach to managing relationships with its suppliers. The APIs and other materials and supplies used in our pharmaceutical manufacturing operations are generally available and purchased from many different U.S. and non-U.S. suppliers, including
Mylan India
. However, in some cases, the raw materials used to manufacture pharmaceutical products are available only from a single supplier. Even when more than one supplier exists, we may choose, and in some cases have chosen, only to list one supplier in our applications submitted to the FDA. Any change in a supplier not previously approved must then be submitted through a formal approval process with the FDA.
Seasonality
Certain parts of our business are affected by seasonality, primarily the Specialty segment and Rest of World within our Generics segment. The seasonal impact of these particular businesses may affect a quarterly comparison within any fiscal year; however, this impact is generally not material to our annual consolidated results.
Environment
We strive to comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations concerning the environment. While it is impossible to predict accurately the future costs associated with environmental compliance and potential remediation activities, compliance with environmental laws is not expected to require significant capital expenditures and has not had, and is not expected to have, a material adverse effect on our operations or competitive position.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014,
Mylan
’s global workforce included
more than
25,000
employees and external contractors. With the completion of the Transaction, Mylan N.V. has increased its workforce to
approximately

Among other matters, the continued risk of a debt default by one or more European countries, related financial restructuring efforts in Europe, and/or evolving deficit and spending reduction programs instituted by the U.S. and other governments could negatively impact the global economy and/or the pharmaceutical industry. This has led, and/or could lead, to reduced consumer and customer spending and/or reduced or eliminated governmental or third party payor coverage or reimbursement in the foreseeable future, and this may include spending on health care, including but not limited to pharmaceutical products. While generic drugs present an alternative to higher-priced branded products, our sales could be negatively impacted if patients forego obtaining health care, patients and customers reduce spending or purchases, and/or if governments and/or third-party payors reduce or eliminate coverage or reimbursement amounts for pharmaceuticals and/or impose price or other controls adversely impacting the price or availability of pharmaceuticals. In addition, reduced consumer and customer spending, and/or reduced government and/or third party payor coverage or reimbursement, and/or new government controls, may drive us and our competitors to decrease prices and/or may reduce the ability of customers to pay and/or may result in reduced demand for our products. The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our industry, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ARISING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
Our operations extend to numerous countries outside the U.S. and are subject to the risks inherent in conducting business globally and under the laws, regulations, and customs of various jurisdictions. These risks include, but are not limited to:
|
|
•
|
compliance with a variety of national and local laws of countries in which we do business, including but not limited to restrictions on the import and export of certain intermediates, drugs, and technologies;
|
|
|
•
|
compliance with a variety of U.S. laws including, but not limited to, the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012; and rules relating to the use of certain “conflict minerals” under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in laws, regulations, and practices affecting the pharmaceutical industry and the health care system, including but not limited to imports, exports, manufacturing, quality, cost, pricing, reimbursement, approval, inspection, and delivery of health care;
|
|
|
•
|
fluctuations in exchange rates for transactions conducted in currencies other than the functional currency;
|
|
|
•
|
adverse changes in the economies in which we or our partners and suppliers operate as a result of a slowdown in overall growth, a change in government or economic policies, or financial, political, or social change or instability in such countries that affects the markets in which we operate, particularly emerging markets;
|
|
|
•
|
differing local product preferences and product requirements;
|
|
|
•
|
changes in employment laws, wage increases, or rising inflation in the countries in which we or our partners and suppliers operate;
|
|
|
•
|
supply disruptions, and increases in energy and transportation costs;
|
|
|
•
|
natural disasters, including droughts, floods, and earthquakes in the countries in which we operate;
|
|
|
•
|
local disturbances, terrorist attacks, riots, social disruption, or regional hostilities in the countries in which we or our partners and suppliers operate; and
|
|
|
•
|
government uncertainty, including as a result of new or changed laws and regulations.
|
We also face the risk that some of our competitors have more experience with operations in such countries or with international operations generally and may be able to manage unexpected crises more easily. Furthermore, whether due to language, cultural or other differences, public and other statements that we make may be misinterpreted, misconstrued, or taken out of context in different jurisdictions. Moreover, the internal political stability of, or the relationship between, any country or countries where we conduct business operations may deteriorate. Changes in a country’s political stability or the state of relations between any such countries are difficult to predict and could adversely affect our operations. Any such changes could lead to a decline in our profitability and/or adversely impact our ability to do business. Any meaningful deterioration of the political or social stability in and/or diplomatic relations between any countries in which we or our partners and suppliers do business could have a material adverse effect on our operations. The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONS IN INDIA MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY REGULATORY, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL UNCERTAINTIES OR CHANGE, MAJOR HOSTILITIES, MILITARY ACTIVITY, AND/OR ACTS OF TERRORISM IN SOUTHERN ASIA.
In recent years, our Indian subsidiaries have benefited from many policies of the Government of India and the Indian state governments in which they operate, which are designed to promote foreign investment generally, including significant tax incentives, liberalized import and export duties, and preferential rules on foreign investment and repatriation. There is no assurance that such policies will continue. Various factors, such as changes in the current federal government, could trigger significant changes in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies and disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
In addition, our financial performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions; economic, fiscal and social policy in India, including changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates and taxation policies; and social instability and political, economic, or diplomatic developments affecting India in the future. In particular, India has experienced significant economic growth over the last several years, but faces major challenges in sustaining that growth in the years ahead. These challenges include the need for substantial infrastructure development and improving access to health care and education. Our ability to recruit, train, and retain qualified employees and develop and operate our manufacturing facilities in India could be adversely affected if India does not successfully meet these challenges.
Southern Asia has, from time to time, experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighboring countries, including India and Pakistan, and within the countries themselves. Rioting, military activity, or terrorist attacks in the future could influence the Indian economy and our operations and employees by disrupting operations and communications and making travel and the conduct of our business more difficult. Resulting political or social tensions could create a greater perception that investments in companies with Indian operations involve a high degree of risk, and that there is a risk of disruption of services provided by companies with Indian operations, which could impact our customers’ willingness to do business with us and have a material adverse effect on the market for our products. Furthermore, if India were to become engaged in armed hostilities, including but not limited to hostilities that were protracted or involved the threat or use of nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction, our India operations, including our recently acquired Agila operations in India, might not be able to continue. We generally do not have insurance for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, military conflicts and wars. The occurrence of any of these risks could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE TRANSACTION MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE INTENDED BENEFITS OR MAY DISRUPT NEW MYLAN’S PLANS AND OPERATIONS.
There can be no assurance that New Mylan will be able to successfully integrate the Business with the business of Mylan or otherwise realize the expected benefits of the Transaction. New Mylan’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction will depend, to a large extent, on its ability to integrate the Business with the business of Mylan and realize the
benefits of the combined business. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process. New Mylan’s business may be negatively impacted following the Transaction if it is unable to effectively manage its expanded operations. The integration will require significant time and focus from management following the Transaction and may divert attention from the day-to-day operations of the combined business. Additionally, consummation of the Transaction could disrupt current plans and operations, which could delay the achievement of New Mylan’s strategic objectives.
The expected synergies and operating efficiencies of the Transaction may not be fully realized, which could result in increased costs and have a material adverse effect on New Mylan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. In addition, the overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer relationships, and diversion of management’s attention, among other potential adverse consequences. The difficulties of combining the operations of the businesses include, among others:
|
|
•
|
the diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in achieving anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, business opportunities, and growth prospects from combining the Business with the pre-Transaction business of Mylan;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in the integration of operations and systems, including enterprise resource planning systems;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in the integration of employees;
|
|
|
•
|
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex company;
|
|
|
•
|
challenges in keeping existing customers and obtaining new customers;
|
|
|
•
|
challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel; and
|
|
|
•
|
the complexities of managing the ongoing relationship with Abbott, which will include agreements providing for transition services, manufacturing relationships, and license arrangements.
|
Many of these factors will be outside of New Mylan’s control and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and diversion of management’s time and energy, which could have a material adverse effect on New Mylan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. In addition, even if the operations of Mylan and the Business are integrated successfully, New Mylan may not realize the full benefits of the Transaction, including the synergies, operating efficiencies, or sales or growth opportunities that are expected. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time frame or at all. All of these factors could cause dilution to New Mylan’s earnings per share, decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of the Transaction, and/or negatively impact the price of New Mylan’s ordinary shares.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FULLY REALIZE THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF THE AGILA ACQUISITION.
Our acquisition of Agila is subject to integration risks and costs and uncertainties associated with the operation of acquired businesses. The Agila acquisition involves the integration of Agila with our existing businesses. We have been, and will continue to be, required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating Agila. We may also experience difficulties in combining corporate cultures. Delays or unexpected difficulties in the integration process could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. Even if we are able to integrate Agila's operations successfully into our business, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings and operational efficiencies that we expect to realize and these benefits may not be achieved within a reasonable period of time.
On September 9, 2013, prior to our completion of the Agila acquisition, the FDA issued a warning letter to Strides Arcolab for its Agila Sterile Manufacturing Facility 2 in Bangalore, India. This facility is one of Agila's eight FDA-approved sterile manufacturing facilities. We continue to work closely with the FDA to fully address its observations with respect to this facility and are working to resolve this matter expeditiously. No assurances can be provided that the resolution of the issues identified in the FDA's letter will not have a material adverse effect on our global injectables business. Failing to realize the anticipated benefits of the Agila acquisition and/or failing to resolve the issues identified in the FDA’s letter could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
AN INABILITY TO IDENTIFY OR SUCCESSFULLY BID FOR SUITABLE ACQUISITION TARGETS, OR CONSUMMATE AND EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE RECENT AND FUTURE POTENTIAL ACQUISITIONS, COULD
LIMIT OUR FUTURE GROWTH AND HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS, AND/OR SHARE PRICE.
We intend to continue to seek to expand our product line and/or business platform organically as well as through complementary or strategic acquisitions of other companies, products, or assets or through joint ventures, licensing agreements, or other arrangements. Acquisitions or similar arrangements may prove to be complex and time consuming and require substantial resources and effort. We may compete for certain acquisition targets with companies having greater financial resources than us or other advantages over us that may hinder or prevent us from acquiring a target or completing another transaction, which could also result in significant diversion of management time, as well as substantial out-of-pocket costs.
If an acquisition is consummated, the integration of such acquired business, product, or other assets into us may also be complex, time consuming, and result in substantial costs and risks. The integration process may distract management and/or disrupt our ongoing businesses, which may adversely affect our relationships with customers, employees, partners, suppliers, regulators, and others with whom we have business or other dealings. In addition, there are operational risks associated with the integration of acquired businesses. These risks include, but are not limited to, difficulties in achieving or inability to achieve identified or anticipated financial and operating synergies, cost savings, revenue synergies, and growth opportunities; difficulties in consolidating or inability to effectively consolidate information technology and manufacturing platforms, business applications, and corporate infrastructure; the impact of pre-existing legal and/or regulatory issues, such as quality and manufacturing concerns, among others; the risks that acquired companies do not operate to the same quality, manufacturing, or other standards as us; the impacts of substantial indebtedness and assumed liabilities; challenges associated with operating in new markets; and the unanticipated effects of export controls, exchange rate fluctuations, domestic and foreign political conditions, and/or domestic and foreign economic conditions.
We may be unable to realize synergies or other benefits, including tax savings, expected to result from acquisitions, joint ventures, or other transactions or investments we may undertake, or we may be unable to generate additional revenue to offset any unanticipated inability to realize these expected synergies or benefits. Realization of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or other transactions could take longer than expected, and implementation difficulties, unforeseen expenses, complications and delays, market factors, or deterioration in domestic and global economic conditions could reduce the anticipated benefits of any such transactions. We also may inherit legal, regulatory, and other risks that occurred prior to the acquisition, whether known or unknown to us.
Any one of these challenges or risks could impair our growth and ability to compete, require us to focus additional resources on integration of operations rather than other profitable areas, require us to reexamine our business strategy, or otherwise cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
CHARGES TO EARNINGS RESULTING FROM ACQUISITIONS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS AND/OR SHARE PRICE.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) business acquisition accounting standards, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in acquired companies generally at their acquisition date fair values and, in each case, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess amount of consideration transferred, which is also generally measured at fair value, and the net of the acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain. After we complete an acquisition, the following factors could result in material charges and adversely affect our operating results and may adversely affect our cash flows:
|
|
•
|
costs incurred to combine the operations of companies we acquire, such as transitional employee expenses and employee retention, redeployment or relocation expenses;
|
|
|
•
|
impairment of goodwill or intangible assets, including acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”);
|
|
|
•
|
amortization of intangible assets acquired;
|
|
|
•
|
a reduction in the useful lives of intangible assets acquired;
|
|
|
•
|
identification of or changes to assumed contingent liabilities, including, but not limited to, contingent purchase price consideration, income tax contingencies and other non-income tax contingencies, after our final determination of the amounts for these contingencies or the conclusion of the measurement period (generally up to one year from the acquisition date), whichever comes first;
|
|
|
•
|
charges to our operating results to eliminate certain duplicative pre-acquisition activities, to restructure our operations or to reduce our cost structure;
|
|
|
•
|
charges to our operating results resulting from expenses incurred to effect the acquisition; and
|
|
|
•
|
changes to contingent consideration liabilities, including accretion and fair value adjustments.
|
A significant portion of these adjustments could be accounted for as expenses that will decrease our net income and earnings per share for the periods in which those costs are incurred. Such charges could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE HAVE GROWN AT A VERY RAPID PACE. OUR INABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OR SUPPORT THIS GROWTH MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS, AND/OR SHARE PRICE.
We have grown very rapidly over the past several years as a result of several acquisitions and increasing sales, and additional growth through acquisitions is possible in the future. This growth has put significant demands on our processes, systems, and people. We have made and expect to make further investments in additional personnel, systems, and internal control processes to help manage our growth. Attracting, retaining and motivating key employees in various departments and locations to support our growth are critical to our business, and competition for these people can be significant. If we are unable to hire and/or retain qualified employees and/or if we do not effectively invest in systems and processes to manage and support our rapid growth and the challenges and difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex business, and/or if we cannot effectively manage and integrate our increasingly diverse and global platform, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
NEW MYLAN EXPECTS TO BE TREATED AS A NON-U.S. CORPORATION FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. ANY CHANGES TO THE TAX LAWS OR CHANGES IN OTHER LAWS, REGULATIONS, RULES, OR INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF APPLICABLE TO INVERTED COMPANIES AND THEIR AFFILIATES, WHETHER ENACTED BEFORE OR AFTER THE TRANSACTION, MAY MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT NEW MYLAN.
Under current U.S. law, we believe that we should not be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Transaction. Changes to Section 7874 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or interpretations thereof, could affect our status as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such changes could have prospective or retroactive application, and may apply even if enacted or promulgated now that the Transaction has closed. If we were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would likely be subject to significantly greater U.S. tax liability than currently contemplated as a non-U.S. corporation.
On August 5, 2014, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that it is reviewing a broad range of authorities for possible administrative actions that could limit the ability of a U.S. corporation to complete a transaction in which it becomes a subsidiary of a non-U.S. corporation (commonly known as an “inversion transaction”) or reduce certain tax benefits after an inversion transaction takes place. On September 22, 2014, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a notice announcing its intention to promulgate certain regulations that will apply to inversion transactions completed on or after September 22, 2014.
In the notice, the U.S. Treasury Department also announced that it expects to issue additional guidance to further limit certain inversion transactions. In particular, it is considering regulations that may limit income tax treaty eligibility and the ability of certain foreign-owned U.S. corporations to deduct certain interest payments (so-called “earnings stripping”). Any such future guidance will apply prospectively, but to the extent it applies only to companies that have completed inversion transactions, it will specifically apply to companies that have completed such transactions on or after September 22, 2014. Additionally, there have been recent legislative proposals intended to limit or discourage inversion transactions. Any such future regulatory or legislative actions regarding inversion transactions, if taken, could apply to us, could disadvantage us as compared to other corporations, including non-U.S. corporations that have completed inversion transactions prior to
September 22, 2014, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
IF THE INTERCOMPANY TERMS OF CROSS BORDER ARRANGEMENTS THAT WE HAVE AMONG OUR SUBSIDIARIES ARE DETERMINED TO BE INAPPROPRIATE OR INEFFECTIVE, OUR TAX LIABILITY MAY INCREASE.
We have potential tax exposures resulting from the varying application of statutes, regulations, and interpretations which include exposures on intercompany terms of cross-border arrangements among our subsidiaries (including intercompany loans, sales, and services agreements) in relation to various aspects of our business, including manufacturing, marketing, sales, and delivery functions. Although we believe our cross border arrangements between affiliates are based upon internationally accepted standards, tax authorities in various jurisdictions may disagree with and subsequently challenge the amount of profits taxed in their country, which may result in increased tax liability, including accrued interest and penalties, which would cause our tax expense to increase and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
UNANTICIPATED CHANGES IN OUR TAX PROVISIONS OR EXPOSURE TO ADDITIONAL INCOME TAX LIABILITIES AND CHANGES IN INCOME TAX LAWS AND TAX RULINGS MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR EFFECTIVE TAX RATE AND INCOME TAX EXPENSE.
We are subject to income taxes in many jurisdictions. Significant analysis and judgment are required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The final determination of any tax audits or related litigation could be materially different from our income tax provisions and accruals.
Additionally, changes in the effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in our overall profitability, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and the examination of previously filed tax returns by taxing authorities, and continuing assessments of our tax exposures could impact our tax liabilities and affect our income tax expense, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
Finally, potential changes to income tax laws in the U.S. include measures which would defer the deduction of interest expense related to deferred income; determine the foreign tax credit on a pooling basis; tax currently excess returns associated with transfers of intangibles offshore; and limit earnings stripping by expatriated entities. In addition, proposals have been made to encourage manufacturing in the U.S., including reduced rates of tax and increased deductions related to manufacturing. We cannot determine whether these proposals will be modified or enacted, whether other proposals unknown at this time will be made, or the extent to which the corporate tax rate might be reduced and lessen the adverse impact of some of these proposals. If enacted, and depending on its precise terms, such legislation could materially increase our overall effective income tax rate and income tax expense and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS, INCLUDING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS, MAY BE SUBJECT TO DISRUPTION DUE TO THE TRANSACTION.
Parties with which we currently do business or may do business in the future, including customers and suppliers, may experience uncertainty associated with the Transaction, including with respect to current or future business relationships with us. As a result, our business relationships may be subject to disruptions if customers, suppliers, and others attempt to negotiate changes in existing business relationships or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than us. For example, certain customers and collaborators have contractual consent rights or termination rights that may have been triggered by a change of control or assignment of the rights and obligations of contracts that were transferred in the Transaction. In addition, our contract manufacturing business could be impaired if existing or potential customers determine not to continue or initiate contract manufacturing relationships with us. These disruptions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
IF COUNTERPARTIES TO CERTAIN AGREEMENTS WITH US DID NOT CONSENT TO THE TRANSACTION, CHANGE-OF-CONTROL RIGHTS UNDER THOSE AGREEMENTS MAY HAVE BEEN TRIGGERED AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSACTION, WHICH COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE THE BENEFIT OF SUCH AGREEMENTS AND INCUR MATERIAL LIABILITIES OR REPLACEMENT COSTS.
We are parties to agreements (including certain agreements with AbbVie Inc.) that contain change-of-control, anti-assignment, or certain other provisions that were triggered as a result of the Transaction. If the counterparties to these agreements did not consent to the Transaction, the counterparties may have the ability to exercise certain rights (including termination rights), resulting in us incurring liabilities as a consequence of breaching such agreements, or causing us to lose the benefit of such agreements or incur costs in seeking replacement agreements.
FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD AFTER CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION, WE MAY NOT BE PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS.
For at least 90 days after closing of the Transaction, we may not, without the consent of Abbott, issue, or agree to issue, any securities or equity rights, other than issuances of our ordinary shares in connection with the exercise of outstanding equity rights. The foregoing prohibitions could have the effect of delaying other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue other strategic transactions that are available only for a limited time.
MYLAN SHAREHOLDERS PRIOR TO THE TRANSACTION NOW OWN A SMALLER SHARE OF NEW MYLAN FOLLOWING THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION.
Following the consummation of the Transaction, Mylan shareholders owned the same number of shares of New Mylan that they owned in Mylan immediately before closing (and no longer hold any shares in Mylan). Each New Mylan ordinary share, however, represented a smaller ownership percentage of a significantly larger company. As a result of the Transaction, Mylan shareholders owned approximately 78% of the outstanding voting securities of New Mylan and Abbott’s subsidiaries owned approximately 22% of the outstanding voting securities of New Mylan.
SALES OR HEDGING ARRANGEMENTS INVOLVING NEW MYLAN ORDINARY SHARES AFTER THE TRANSACTION MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF NEW MYLAN ORDINARY SHARES.
The New Mylan ordinary shares issued to Abbott’s subsidiaries in the Transaction are generally eligible for immediate resale. Abbott and its subsidiaries are also permitted to enter into certain hedging arrangements with respect to those New Mylan ordinary shares. The market price of New Mylan ordinary shares could decline as a result of sales or hedging arrangements involving a large number of New Mylan ordinary shares after the consummation of the Transaction or the perception that these sales or hedging arrangements could occur. These sales or hedging arrangements, or the possibility that these sales or hedging arrangements may occur, also might make it more difficult for New Mylan to obtain additional capital by selling equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that New Mylan deems appropriate.
THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY IS HEAVILY REGULATED AND WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH OUR EFFORTS TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.
The pharmaceutical industry is subject to regulation by various governmental authorities. For instance, we must comply with requirements of the FDA and requirements from regulatory agencies in our other markets with respect to the research, development, manufacture, quality, safety, labeling, sale, distribution, marketing, advertising, and promotion of pharmaceutical products. Failure to comply with regulations of the FDA and other regulators could result in a range of fines, penalties, disgorgement, unanticipated compliance expenditures, rejection or delay in approval of applications, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, our inability to sell products, the return by customers of our products, suspension of the applicable regulator’s review of our submissions, enforcement actions, injunctions, and/or criminal prosecution. Under certain circumstances, the regulators may also have the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals.
In addition to the drug approval process, government agencies also regulate the facilities and operational procedures that we use to manufacture our products. We must register our facilities with the FDA and other similar regulators in other countries. Products manufactured in our facilities must be made in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practices or similar standards in each territory in which we manufacture. Compliance with such regulations requires substantial expenditures of time, money, and effort in such areas as production and quality control to ensure compliance. The FDA and other agencies periodically inspect our manufacturing facilities for compliance. Regulatory approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific. Failure to comply with good manufacturing practices and other regulatory standards at one of our or our partners’ or suppliers’ manufacturing facilities could result in an adverse action brought by the FDA or other regulatory bodies, which could include fines, penalties, disgorgement, unanticipated compliance expenditures, rejection or delay in approval of applications, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, our inability to sell products, the return by customers of our products, suspension of the applicable regulator’s review of our submissions, enforcement actions, injunctions, and/or criminal prosecution or other adverse actions.
If any regulatory body were to delay, withhold, or withdraw approval of an application, or require a recall or other adverse product action, or require one of our manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, our business could be adversely affected. Delay and cost in obtaining FDA or other regulatory approval to manufacture at a different facility also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
Although we have internal regulatory compliance programs and policies, there is no guarantee that these programs and policies, as currently designed, will meet regulatory agency standards in the future or will prevent instances of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, despite our efforts at compliance, from time to time we receive notices of manufacturing and quality-related observations following inspections by regulatory authorities around the world, as well as official agency correspondence regarding compliance. We may receive similar observations and correspondence in the future. If we were deemed to be deficient in any significant way, or if any of the noted risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially affected.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws regulating working conditions, as well as environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of materials into the environment and those related to climate change. If changes to such environmental laws and regulations are made in the future that require significant changes in our operations, or if we engage in the development and manufacturing of new products requiring new or different environmental or other controls, or if we are found to have violated any applicable rules, we may be required to expend significant funds. Such changes, delays, and/or suspensions of activities or the occurrence of any of the above risks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE USE OF LEGAL, REGULATORY, AND LEGISLATIVE STRATEGIES BY BOTH BRAND AND GENERIC COMPETITORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO “AUTHORIZED GENERICS” AND REGULATORY PETITIONS, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF PROPOSED AND NEW LEGISLATION, MAY INCREASE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OR MARKETING OF OUR GENERIC PRODUCTS, COULD DELAY OR PREVENT SUCH INTRODUCTION, AND COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE OUR PROFIT.
Our competitors, both branded and generic, often pursue strategies to prevent, delay, or eliminate competition from generic alternatives to branded products. These strategies include, but are not limited to:
|
|
•
|
entering into agreements whereby other generic companies will begin to market an authorized generic, a generic equivalent of a branded product, at the same time or after generic competition initially enters the market;
|
|
|
•
|
launching a generic version of their own branded product prior to or at the same time or after generic competition initially enters the market;
|
|
|
•
|
filing petitions with the FDA or other regulatory bodies seeking to prevent or delay approvals, including timing the filings so as to thwart generic competition by causing delays of our product approvals;
|
|
|
•
|
seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence or to meet other requirements for approval, and/or to prevent regulatory agency review of applications, such as through the establishment of patent linkage (laws barring the issuance of regulatory approvals prior to patent expiration);
|
|
|
•
|
initiating legislative or other efforts to limit the substitution of generic versions of brand pharmaceuticals;
|
|
|
•
|
filing suits for patent infringement and other claims that may delay or prevent regulatory approval, manufacture, and/or scale of generic products;
|
|
|
•
|
introducing “next-generation” products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, which often materially reduces the demand for the generic or the reference product for which we seek regulatory approval;
|
|
|
•
|
persuading regulatory bodies to withdraw the approval of brand name drugs for which the patents are about to expire and converting the market to another product of the brand company on which longer patent protection exists;
|
|
|
•
|
obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting clinical trials of brand drugs in pediatric populations or by other methods; and
|
|
|
•
|
seeking to obtain new patents on drugs for which patent protection is about to expire.
|
In the U.S., some companies have lobbied Congress for amendments to the Hatch-Waxman Act that would give them additional advantages over generic competitors. For example, although the term of a company’s drug patent can be extended to reflect a portion of the time an NDA is under regulatory review, some companies have proposed extending the patent term by a full year for each year spent in clinical trials rather than the one-half year that is currently permitted.
If proposals like these in the U.S., Europe, or in other countries where we or our partners and suppliers operate were to become effective, or if any other actions by our competitors and other third parties to prevent or delay activities necessary to the approval, manufacture, or distribution of our products are successful, our entry into the market and our ability to generate revenues associated with new products may be delayed, reduced, or eliminated, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE NEW PRODUCTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR FUTURE REVENUE MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our future revenues and profitability will depend, in part, upon our ability to successfully develop, license, or otherwise acquire and commercialize new generic and patent or statutorily protected pharmaceutical products in a timely manner. Product development is inherently risky, especially for new drugs for which safety and efficacy have not been established and the market is not yet proven as well as for complex generic drugs and biosimilars. Likewise, product licensing involves inherent risks, including among others uncertainties due to matters that may affect the achievement of milestones, as well as the possibility of contractual disagreements with regard to whether the supply of product meets certain specifications or terms such as license scope or termination rights. The development and commercialization process, particularly with regard to new and complex drugs, also requires substantial time, effort and financial resources. We, or a partner, may not be successful in commercializing any of such products on a timely basis, if at all, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
Before any prescription drug product, including generic drug products, can be marketed, marketing authorization approval is required by the relevant regulatory authorities and/or national regulatory agencies (for example the FDA in the U.S. and the EMA in the EU). The process of obtaining regulatory approval to manufacture and market new and generic pharmaceutical products is rigorous, time consuming, costly, and unpredictable. Outside the U.S., the approval process may be more or less rigorous, depending on the country, and the time required for approval may be longer or shorter than that required in the U.S. Bioequivalence studies conducted in one country may not be accepted in other countries, the requirements for approval may differ among countries, and the approval of a pharmaceutical product in one country does not necessarily mean that the product will be approved in another country. We, or a partner or supplier, may be unable to obtain requisite approvals on a timely basis, or at all, for new generic or branded products that we may develop, license or otherwise acquire. Moreover, if we obtain regulatory approval for a drug, it may be limited with respect to the indicated uses and delivery methods for which the drug may be marketed, which could in turn restrict our potential market for the drug. Also, for products pending approval, we may obtain raw materials or produce batches of inventory to be used in efficacy and bioequivalence testing, as well as in anticipation of the product’s launch. In the event that regulatory approval is denied or delayed, we could be exposed to the risk of this inventory becoming obsolete.
The approval process for generic pharmaceutical products often results in the relevant regulatory agency granting final approval to a number of generic pharmaceutical products at the time a patent claim for a corresponding branded product or other market exclusivity expires. This often forces us to face immediate competition when we introduce a generic product into
the market. Additionally, further generic approvals often continue to be granted for a given product subsequent to the initial launch of the generic product. These circumstances generally result in significantly lower prices, as well as reduced margins, for generic products compared to branded products. New generic market entrants generally cause continued price, margin, and sales erosion over the generic product life cycle.
In the U.S., the Hatch-Waxman Act provides for a period of 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity for each ANDA applicant that is first-to-file an ANDA containing a certification of invalidity, non-infringement or unenforceability related to a patent listed with respect to a reference drug product, commonly referred to as a Paragraph IV certification. During this exclusivity period, which under certain circumstances may be required to be shared with other applicable ANDA sponsors with timely Paragraph IV certifications, the FDA cannot grant final approval to other ANDA sponsors holding applications for the same generic equivalent. If an ANDA containing a Paragraph IV certification is successful and the applicant is awarded exclusivity, the applicant generally enjoys higher market share, net revenues, and gross margin for that generic product. However, our ability to obtain 180 days of generic marketing exclusivity may be dependent upon our ability to obtain FDA approval or tentative approval within an applicable time period of the FDA’s acceptance of our ANDA. If we are unable to obtain approval or tentative approval within that time period, we may risk forfeiture of such marketing exclusivity. Even if we obtain FDA approval for our generic drug products, if we are not the first ANDA applicant to challenge a listed patent for such a product, we may lose significant advantages to a competitor that filed its ANDA containing such a challenge. The same would be true in situations where we are required to share our exclusivity period with other ANDA sponsors with Paragraph IV certifications.
In Europe and other countries and regions, there is no exclusivity period for the first generic product. The EMA or national regulatory agencies may grant marketing authorizations to any number of generics.
In addition, in other jurisdictions outside the U.S., we may face similar regulatory requirements and constraints. If we are unable to navigate our products through all of the regulatory requirements we face in a timely manner, or upon the occurrence of any of the other above risks, there could be an adverse effect on our product introduction plans, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE EXPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RESOURCES ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS THAT MAY NOT LEAD TO SUCCESSFUL PRODUCT INTRODUCTIONS.
Much of our development effort is focused on technically difficult-to-formulate products and/or products that require advanced manufacturing technology, including our generic biologics program and respiratory platform. We conduct R&D primarily to enable us to manufacture and market approved pharmaceuticals in accordance with applicable regulations. We also partner with third parties to develop products. Typically, research expenses related to the development of innovative or complex compounds and the filing of marketing authorization applications for innovative and complex compounds (such as NDAs and biosimilar applications in the U.S.) are significantly greater than those expenses associated with the development of and filing of marketing authorization applications for most generic products (such as ANDAs in the U.S. and abridged applications in Europe). As we and our partners continue to develop new and/or complex products, our research expenses will likely increase. Because of the inherent risk associated with R&D efforts in our industry, including the high cost and uncertainty of conducting clinical trials (where required) particularly with respect to new and/or complex drugs, our, or a partner’s, research and development expenditures may not result in the successful introduction of new pharmaceutical products approved by the relevant regulatory bodies. Also, after we submit a marketing authorization application for a new compound or generic product, the relevant regulatory authority may change standards and/or request that we conduct additional studies or evaluations and, as a result, we may incur approval delays as well as total R&D costs to develop a particular product in excess of what we anticipated. Finally, we cannot be certain that any investment made in developing products will be recovered, even if we are successful in commercialization. To the extent that we expend significant resources on R&D efforts and are not able, ultimately, to introduce successful new and/or complex products as a result of those efforts, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
EVEN AFTER OUR PRODUCTS RECEIVE REGULATORY APPROVAL, SUCH PRODUCTS MAY NOT ACHIEVE EXPECTED LEVELS OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE.
Even if we are able to obtain regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical products, generic or branded, the success of those products is dependent upon market acceptance. Levels of market acceptance for our products could be impacted by several factors, including but not limited to:
|
|
•
|
the availability of alternative products from our competitors;
|
|
|
•
|
the price of our products relative to that of our competitors;
|
|
|
•
|
the timing of our market entry;
|
|
|
•
|
the ability to market our products effectively to the different levels in the distribution chain;
|
|
|
•
|
other competitor actions; and
|
|
|
•
|
the continued acceptance of and/or reimbursement for our products by government and private formularies and/or third party payors.
|
Additionally, studies of the proper utilization, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the industry, government agencies, and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety, and efficacy of previously marketed as well as future products. In some cases, studies have resulted, and may in the future result, in the discontinuance of product marketing or other risk management programs, such as the need for a patient registry, as well as delays in approvals. The occurrence of any of the above risks could adversely affect our profitability, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF BIOSIMILAR PRODUCTS POSES UNIQUE RISKS, AND OUR FAILURE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTRODUCE BIOSIMILAR PRODUCTS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS.
We and our partners and suppliers are actively working to develop and commercialize biosimilar products - that is, a biological product that is highly similar to an already approved biological product, notwithstanding minor differences in clinically inactive components, and for which there are no clinically meaningful differences between the biosimilar and the approved biological product in terms of safety, purity and potency. However, significant uncertainty remains concerning both the regulatory pathway in the U.S. and in other countries to obtain regulatory approval of biosimilar products, and the commercial pathway to successfully market and sell such products. In particular, although recently enacted legislation authorizes the FDA to create a regulatory pathway for the review and approval of such products, significant uncertainty remains concerning the establishment of this regulatory regime, as well as the commercial steps necessary to successfully market and sell such products. The costs of development and approval, along with the likelihood of success for our biosimilar candidates, however, will be dependent upon any final regulations issued by the FDA or other relevant regulatory authorities.
Moreover, biosimilar products will likely be subject to extensive patent clearances and patent infringement litigation, which could delay or prevent the commercial launch of a product for many years. If we are unable to obtain FDA or other non-U.S. regulatory authority approval for our products, as needed, such products may not be commercially successful and may not generate profits in amounts that are sufficient to offset the amount invested to obtain such approvals. Market success of biosimilar products will depend on demonstrating to regulators, patients, physicians and payors (such as insurance companies) that such products are safe and efficacious compared to other existing products yet offer a more competitive price or other benefit over existing therapies. In addition, the development and manufacture of biosimilars pose unique risks related to the supply of the materials needed to manufacture biosimilars. Access to and the supply of necessary biological materials may be limited, and government regulations restrict access to and regulate the transport and use of such materials. Depending on the outcome of the foregoing risks, we may not be able to generate future sales of biosimilar products in certain jurisdictions and may not realize the anticipated benefits of our investments in the development, manufacture and sale of such products. If our development efforts do not result in the development and timely approval of biosimilar products or if such products, once developed and approved, are not commercially successful, or upon the occurrence of any of the above risks, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially adversely affected.
OUR BUSINESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON MARKET PERCEPTIONS OF US, OUR BRANDS, AND THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY NEGATIVE PUBLICITY OR FINDINGS.
Market perceptions of us are very important to our business, especially market perceptions of our company and brands and the safety and quality of our products. If we, our partners and suppliers, or our brands suffer from negative publicity, or if any of our products or similar products which other companies distribute are subject to market withdrawal or recall or are proven to be, or are claimed to be, ineffective or harmful to consumers, then this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. Also, because we are dependent on market perceptions, negative publicity associated with product quality, patient illness, or other adverse effects resulting from, or perceived to be resulting from, our products, or our partners’ and suppliers’ manufacturing facilities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE ILLEGAL DISTRIBUTION AND SALE BY THIRD PARTIES OF COUNTERFEIT VERSIONS OF OUR PRODUCTS OR OF STOLEN PRODUCTS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR REPUTATION AND OUR BUSINESS.
The pharmaceutical drug supply has been increasingly challenged by the vulnerability of distribution channels to illegal counterfeiting and the presence of counterfeit products in a growing number of markets and over the Internet.
Third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of our products that do not meet the rigorous manufacturing and testing standards that our products undergo. Counterfeit products are frequently unsafe or ineffective, and can be potentially life-threatening. Counterfeit medicines may contain harmful substances, the wrong dose of API, or no API at all. However, to distributors and users, counterfeit products may be visually indistinguishable from the authentic version.
Reports of adverse reactions to counterfeit drugs or increased levels of counterfeiting could materially affect patient confidence in the authentic product. It is possible that adverse events caused by unsafe counterfeit products will mistakenly be attributed to the authentic product. In addition, thefts of inventory at warehouses, plants, or while in-transit, which are not properly stored and which are sold through unauthorized channels, could adversely impact patient safety, our reputation, and our business.
Public loss of confidence in the integrity of pharmaceutical products as a result of counterfeiting or theft could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR COMPETITORS, INCLUDING BRANDED PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, AND/OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES, MAY ALLEGE THAT WE AND/OR OUR SUPPLIERS ARE INFRINGING UPON THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING IN AN “AT RISK LAUNCH” SITUATION, IMPACTING OUR ABILITY TO LAUNCH A PRODUCT, AND/OR OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE MARKETING A PRODUCT, AND/OR FORCING US TO EXPEND SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCES IN RESULTING LITIGATION, THE OUTCOME OF WHICH IS UNCERTAIN.
Companies that produce branded pharmaceutical products and other patent holders routinely bring litigation against entities selling or seeking regulatory approval to manufacture and market generic forms of their branded products, as well as other entities involved in the manufacture, supply, testing, marketing, and other aspects relating to active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished pharmaceutical products. These companies and other patent holders allege patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights as the basis for filing suit against an applicant for a generic product license as well as others who may be involved in some aspect of the research, production, distribution, or testing process. Litigation often involves significant expense and can delay or prevent introduction or sale of our generic products. If patents are held valid and infringed by our products in a particular jurisdiction, we and/or our supplier(s) or partner(s) would, unless we or the supplier(s) or partner(s) could obtain a license from the patent holder, need to cease manufacturing and other activities, including but not limited to selling in that jurisdiction, and may need to surrender or withdraw the product, or destroy existing stock in that jurisdiction.
There also may be situations where we use our business judgment and decide to manufacture, market, and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk launch”). The risk involved in doing so can be substantial because the remedies available to the owner of a patent for infringement may include, among other things, damages measured by the profits lost by the patent holder and not necessarily by the profits earned by the infringer. In the case of a finding by a court of willful infringement, the definition of which is subjective, such damages may be increased by an additional 200%. Moreover, because of the discount pricing typically involved with bioequivalent (generic) products, patented branded products generally realize a
substantially higher profit margin than bioequivalent products. An adverse decision in a case such as this or in other similar litigation, or a judicial order preventing us or our suppliers and partners from manufacturing, marketing, selling, and/or other activities necessary to the manufacture and distribution of our products, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. For information regarding legal proceedings, refer to Note
14
, “Contingencies,” in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report.
IF WE OR ANY PARTNER OR SUPPLIER FAIL TO OBTAIN OR ADEQUATELY PROTECT OR ENFORCE OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, THEN WE COULD LOSE REVENUE UNDER OUR LICENSING AGREEMENTS OR LOSE SALES TO GENERIC COPIES OF OUR BRANDED PRODUCTS.
Our success, particularly in our specialty business, depends in part on our or any partner’s or supplier’s ability to obtain, maintain and enforce patents, and protect trade secrets, know-how, and other proprietary information. Our ability to commercialize any branded product successfully will largely depend upon our or any partner’s or supplier’s ability to obtain and maintain patents of sufficient scope to lawfully prevent third-parties from developing infringing products. In the absence of patent and trade secret protection, competitors may adversely affect our branded products business by independently developing and marketing substantially equivalent products. It is also possible that we could incur substantial costs if we are required to initiate litigation against others to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights.
We have filed patent applications covering the composition of, methods of making, and/or methods of using, our branded products and branded product candidates. We may not be issued patents based on patent applications already filed or that we file in the future. Further, due to other factors that affect patentability, and if patents are issued, they may be insufficient in scope to cover or otherwise protect our branded products. Patents are national in scope and therefore the issuance of a patent in one country does not ensure the issuance of a patent in any other country. Furthermore, the patent position of companies in the pharmaceutical industry generally involves complex legal and factual questions and has been and remains the subject of significant litigation. Legal standards relating to scope and validity of patent claims are evolving and may differ in various countries. Any patents we have obtained, or obtain in the future, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Moreover, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any other governmental agency may commence opposition or interference proceedings involving, or consider other challenges to, our patents or patent applications.
Any challenge to, or invalidation or circumvention of, our patents or patent applications would be costly, would require significant time and attention of our management, and could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
BOTH OUR GENERICS AND SPECIALTY BUSINESSES DEVELOP, FORMULATE, MANUFACTURE, OR IN-LICENSE AND MARKET PRODUCTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC RISKS RELATING TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, COMPETITION, AND MARKET UNPREDICTABILITY.
Our products may be subject to the following risks, among others:
|
|
•
|
limited patent life, or the loss of patent protection;
|
|
|
•
|
competition from generic or other branded products;
|
|
|
•
|
reductions in reimbursement rates by government and other third-party payors;
|
|
|
•
|
importation by consumers;
|
|
|
•
|
drug research and development risks; and
|
|
|
•
|
unpredictability with regard to establishing a market.
|
In addition, developing and commercializing branded products is generally more costly than generic products. If such business expenditures do not ultimately result in the launch of commercially successful brand products, or if any of the risks above were to occur, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE FACE VIGOROUS COMPETITION FROM OTHER PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS THAT THREATENS THE COMMERCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND PRICING OF OUR PRODUCTS.
The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. We face competition from many U.S. and non-U.S. manufacturers, some of whom are significantly larger than we are. Our competitors may be able to develop products and processes competitive with or superior to our own for many reasons, including but not limited to the possibility that they may have:
|
|
•
|
proprietary processes or delivery systems;
|
|
|
•
|
larger or more productive research and development and marketing staffs;
|
|
|
•
|
larger or more efficient production capabilities in a particular therapeutic area;
|
|
|
•
|
more experience in preclinical testing and human clinical trials;
|
|
|
•
|
more experience in developing new drugs and greater financial resources, particularly with regard to manufacturers of branded products.
|
The occurrence of any of the above risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
A RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF PRODUCTS MAY REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES, GROSS PROFIT, OR NET EARNINGS FROM TIME TO TIME.
Sales of a limited number of our products from time to time represent a significant portion of our revenues, gross profit, and net earnings. For the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, our top ten products in terms of sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately
33%
and
31%
, respectively, of our consolidated total revenues. If the volume or pricing of our largest selling products declines in the future, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially adversely affected.
OUR BUSINESS COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR COLLABORATION PARTNERS AND SUPPLIERS.
We have entered into strategic alliances with partners and suppliers to develop, manufacture, market and/or distribute certain products, and/or certain components of our products, in various markets. We commit substantial effort, funds and other resources to these various collaborations. There is a risk that the investments made by us in these collaborative arrangements will not generate financial returns. While we believe our relationships with our partners and suppliers generally are successful, disputes or conflicting priorities and regulatory or legal intervention could be a source of delay or uncertainty as to the expected benefits of the collaboration. A failure or inability of our partners or suppliers to fulfill their collaboration obligations, or the occurrence of any of the risks above, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR REVENUES IS DERIVED FROM SALES TO A LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from sales to a limited number of customers. If we were to experience a significant reduction in or loss of business with one or more such customers, or if one or more such customers were to experience difficulty in paying us on a timely basis, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially adversely affected.
During the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, sales to Cardinal Health, Inc. were approximately
12%
,
15%
and
14%
, respectively; sales to McKesson Corporation were approximately
19%
,
14%
and
13%
, respectively; sales to AmeriSourceBergen Corporation were approximately
13%
,
10%
and
7%
, respectively of consolidated net sales.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE DECLINES IN THE SALES VOLUME AND PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS AS THE RESULT OF THE CONTINUING TREND TOWARD CONSOLIDATION OF CERTAIN CUSTOMER GROUPS, SUCH AS THE WHOLESALE DRUG DISTRIBUTION AND RETAIL PHARMACY INDUSTRIES, AS WELL AS THE EMERGENCE OF LARGE BUYING GROUPS.
A significant amount of our sales are to a relatively small number of drug wholesalers and retail drug chains. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of generic pharmaceutical products. Drug wholesalers and retail drug chains have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation. This consolidation may result in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and, consequently, increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business. Additionally, the emergence of large buying groups representing independent retail pharmacies and the prevalence and influence of managed care organizations and similar institutions potentially enable those groups to attempt to extract price discounts on our products. The occurrence of any of the above risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE DEPEND TO A LARGE EXTENT ON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS FOR RAW MATERIALS, PARTICULARLY THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND(S) THAT CONSTITUTE THE ACTIVE PHARMACEUTICAL INGREDIENTS THAT WE USE TO MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS CERTAIN FINISHED GOODS, INCLUDING CERTAIN CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. THESE THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS AND DISTRIBUTORS MAY EXPERIENCE DELAYS IN OR INABILITY TO SUPPLY US WITH RAW MATERIALS NECESSARY TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND/OR MANUFACTURE OF OUR PRODUCTS.
We purchase certain API (i.e., the chemical compounds that produce the desired therapeutic effect in our products) and other materials and supplies that we use in our manufacturing operations, as well as certain finished products, from many different foreign and domestic suppliers.
In certain cases, we have listed only one supplier in our applications with regulatory agencies, and there is no guarantee that we will always have timely and sufficient access to a critical raw material or finished product supplied by third parties, even when we have more than one supplier. An interruption in the supply of a single-sourced or any other raw material, including the relevant API, or in the supply of finished product, could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price to be materially adversely affected. In addition, our manufacturing and supply capabilities could be adversely impacted by quality deficiencies in the products which our suppliers provide, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
We utilize controlled substances in certain of our current products and products in development, and therefore must meet the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and the related regulations administered by the DEA in the U.S., as well as similar laws in other countries where we operate. These laws relate to the manufacture, shipment, storage, sale, and use of controlled substances. The DEA and other regulatory agencies limit the availability of the active ingredients used in certain of our current products and products in development and, as a result, our procurement quota of these active ingredients may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. We must annually apply to the DEA and other regulatory agencies for procurement quota in order to obtain these substances. Any delay or refusal by the DEA or such regulatory agencies in establishing our procurement quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, or could cause trade inventory disruptions for those products that have already been launched, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE SUPPLY OF API INTO EUROPE MAY BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY RECENT REGULATIONS PROMULGATED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION.
Since July 2, 2013, all API imported into the EU has needed to be certified as complying with the good manufacturing practice (“GMP”) standards established by the EU, as stipulated by the International Conference for Harmonization. These new regulations place the certification requirement on the regulatory bodies of the exporting countries. Accordingly, the national regulatory authorities of each exporting country must: (i) ensure that all manufacturing plants within their borders that export API into the EU comply with EU manufacturing standards and (ii) for each API exported, present a written document confirming that the exporting plant conforms to EU manufacturing standards. The imposition of this responsibility on the governments of the nations exporting an API may cause delays in delivery or shortages of an API necessary to manufacture our products, as certain governments may not be willing or able to comply with the regulation in a timely fashion, or at all. A shortage in API may prevent us from manufacturing, or cause us to have to cease manufacture of, certain products, or to incur costs and delays to qualify other suppliers to substitute for those API manufacturers unable to export. The occurrence of any of
the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF MANUFACTURING FACILITIES AND CERTAIN THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS PRODUCING A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF OUR PRODUCTS.
A substantial portion of our capacity, as well as our current production, is attributable to a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third party suppliers. A significant disruption at any one of such facilities within our internal or third party supply chain, even on a short-term basis, whether due to a labor strike, failure to reach acceptable agreement with labor and unions, adverse quality or compliance observation, infringement of intellectual property rights, act of God, civil or political unrest, export or import restrictions, or other events could impair our ability to produce and ship products to the market on a timely basis and could, among other consequences, subject us to exposure to claims from customers. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR REPORTING AND PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO OUR PARTICIPATION IN FEDERAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAMS, INCLUDING MEDICARE AND MEDICAID, ARE COMPLEX AND OFTEN INVOLVE SUBJECTIVE DECISIONS THAT COULD CHANGE AS A RESULT OF NEW BUSINESS CIRCUMSTANCES, NEW REGULATIONS OR AGENCY GUIDANCE, OR ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE OBLIGATIONS COULD SUBJECT US TO INVESTIGATION, PENALTIES, AND SANCTIONS.
Federal laws regarding reporting and payment obligations with respect to a pharmaceutical company’s participation in federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, are complex. Because our processes for calculating applicable government prices and the judgments involved in making these calculations involve subjective decisions and complex methodologies, these calculations are subject to risk of errors and differing interpretations. In addition, they are subject to review and challenge by the applicable governmental agencies, and it is possible that such reviews could result in changes that may have material adverse legal, regulatory, or economic consequences.
The PPACA of 2010 includes a provision requiring the CMS to publish a weighted average Average Manufacturer Price (“AMP”) for all multi-source drugs. The provision was effective October 1, 2010; however, weighted average AMP’s have not yet been published by CMS, except in draft form, and have not been implemented for use in the calculation of Federal Upper Limits. Although the weighted average AMP would not reveal Mylan’s individual AMP, publishing a weighted average AMP available to customers and the public at large could negatively affect our leverage in commercial price negotiations.
In addition, as also disclosed herein, a number of state and federal government agencies are conducting investigations of manufacturers’ reporting practices with respect to Average Wholesale Prices (“AWP”). The government has alleged that reporting of inflated AWP has led to excessive payments for prescription drugs. We and numerous other pharmaceutical companies have been named as defendants in various actions relating to pharmaceutical pricing issues and whether allegedly improper actions by pharmaceutical manufacturers led to excessive payments by Medicare and/or Medicaid.
Any governmental agencies or authorities that have commenced, or may commence, an investigation of Mylan relating to the sales, marketing, pricing, quality, or manufacturing of pharmaceutical products could seek to impose, based on a claim of violation of anti-fraud and false claims laws or otherwise, civil and/or criminal sanctions, including fines, penalties, and possible exclusion from federal health care programs, including Medicare and Medicaid. Some of the applicable laws may impose liability even in the absence of specific intent to defraud. Furthermore, should there be ambiguity with regard to how to properly calculate and report payments - and even in the absence of any such ambiguity - a governmental authority may take a position contrary to a position we have taken, and may impose civil and/or criminal sanctions. Any failure to comply with the above laws and regulations, and any such penalties or sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE REDUCTIONS IN THE LEVELS OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS BY GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, HMOS, OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS. IN ADDITION, THE USE OF TENDER SYSTEMS AND OTHER FORMS OF PRICE CONTROL COULD REDUCE PRICES FOR OUR PRODUCTS OR REDUCE OUR MARKET OPPORTUNITIES.
Various governmental authorities (including, among others, the U.K. National Health Service and the German statutory health insurance scheme) and private health insurers and other organizations, such as HMOs in the U.S., provide
reimbursements or subsidies to consumers for the cost of certain pharmaceutical products. Demand for our products depends in part on the extent to which such reimbursement is available. In the U.S., third-party payors increasingly challenge the pricing of pharmaceutical products. This trend and other trends toward the growth of HMOs, managed health care, and legislative health care reform create significant uncertainties regarding the future levels of reimbursement for pharmaceutical products. Further, any reimbursement may be reduced in the future to the point that market demand for our products and/or our profitability declines. Such a decline could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
In addition, a number of markets in which we operate have implemented or may implement tender systems or other forms of price controls for generic pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids which establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. Upon winning the tender, the winning company will receive a preferential reimbursement for a period of time. The tender system often results in companies underbidding one another by proposing low pricing in order to win the tender.
Certain other countries may consider the implementation of a tender system or other forms of price controls. Even if a tender system is ultimately not implemented, the anticipation of such could result in price reductions. Failing to win tenders, or the implementation of similar systems or other forms of price controls in other markets leading to further price declines, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
LEGISLATIVE OR REGULATORY PROGRAMS THAT MAY INFLUENCE PRICES OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
Current or future federal, state or foreign laws and regulations may influence the prices of drugs and, therefore, could adversely affect the prices that we receive for our products. For example, programs in existence in certain states in the U.S. seek to broadly set prices, within those states, through the regulation and administration of the sale of prescription drugs. Expansion of these programs, in particular state Medicare and/or Medicaid programs, or changes required in the way in which Medicare and/or Medicaid rebates are calculated under such programs, could adversely affect the prices we receive for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
In order to control expenditure on pharmaceuticals, most member states in the EU regulate the pricing of products and, in some cases, limit the range of different forms of pharmaceuticals available for prescription by national health services. These controls can result in considerable price differences between member states.
Several countries in which we operate have implemented, or plan to or may implement, government mandated price reductions and/or other controls. When such price cuts occur, pharmaceutical companies have generally experienced significant declines in revenues and profitability and uncertainties continue to exist within the market after the price decrease. Such price reductions or controls could have an adverse effect on our business, and as uncertainties are resolved or if other countries in which we operate enact similar measures, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
HEALTH CARE REFORM LEGISLATION COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
In recent years, there have been numerous initiatives on the federal and state levels for comprehensive reforms affecting the payment for, the availability of and reimbursement for, health care services in the U.S., and it is likely that federal and state legislatures and health agencies will continue to focus on health care reform in the future. The PPACA and The Health Care and Education and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872), which amends the PPACA (collectively, the “Health Reform Laws”), were signed into law in March 2010. While the Health Reform Laws may increase the number of patients who have insurance coverage for our products, they also include provisions such as the assessment of a pharmaceutical manufacturer fee and an increase in the amount of rebates that manufacturers pay for coverage of their drugs by Medicaid programs.
We are unable to predict the future course of federal or state health care legislation. The Health Reform Laws and further changes in the law or regulatory framework that reduce our revenues or increase our costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flow, and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.
Additionally, we encounter similar regulatory and legislative issues in most other countries. In the EU and some other international markets, the government provides health care at low cost to consumers and regulates pharmaceutical prices,
patient eligibility and/or reimbursement levels to control costs for the government-sponsored health care system. These systems of price regulations may lead to inconsistent and lower prices. Within the EU and in other countries, the availability of our products in some markets at lower prices undermines our sales in other markets with higher prices. Additionally, certain countries set prices by reference to the prices in other countries where our products are marketed. Thus, our inability to secure adequate prices in a particular country may also impair our ability to obtain acceptable prices in existing and potential new markets, and may create the opportunity for third party cross border trade.
If significant additional reforms are made to the U.S. health care system, or to the health care systems of other markets in which we operate, those reforms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE ARE INVOLVED IN VARIOUS LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CERTAIN GOVERNMENT INQUIRIES AND MAY EXPERIENCE UNFAVORABLE OUTCOMES OF SUCH PROCEEDINGS OR INQUIRIES.
We are or may be involved in various legal proceedings and certain government inquiries or investigations, including, but not limited to, patent infringement, product liability, antitrust matters, breach of contract, and claims involving Medicare and/or Medicaid reimbursements, or laws relating to sales and marketing practices, some of which are described in our periodic reports, that involve claims for, or the possibility of, fines and penalties involving substantial amounts of money or other relief, including but not limited to civil or criminal fines and penalties and exclusion from participation in various government health-care-related programs. With respect to government antitrust enforcement and private plaintiff litigation of so-called “pay for delay” patent settlements, large verdicts, settlements or government fines are possible, especially in the U.S. and E.U. If any of these legal proceedings or inquiries were to result in an adverse outcome, the impact could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
With respect to product liability, we maintain a combination of self-insurance (including through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary) and commercial insurance to protect against and manage a portion of the risks involved in conducting our business. Although we carry insurance, we believe that no reasonable amount of insurance can fully protect against all such risks because of the potential liability inherent in the business of producing pharmaceuticals for human consumption. Emerging developments in the U.S. legal landscape relative to the liability of generic pharmaceutical manufacturers for certain product liabilities claims could increase our exposure litigation costs and damages. To the extent that a loss occurs, depending on the nature of the loss and the level of insurance coverage maintained, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
In addition, in limited circumstances, entities that we acquired are party to litigation in matters under which we are, or may be, entitled to indemnification by the previous owners. Even in the case of indemnification, there are risks inherent in such indemnities and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will receive the full benefits of such indemnification, or that we will not experience an adverse result in a matter that is not indemnified, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE U.S. FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT AND SIMILAR WORLDWIDE ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS, WHICH IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN CONDUCT AND MAY CARRY SUBSTANTIAL FINES AND PENALTIES.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions. These laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and some have record keeping requirements. The failure to comply with these laws could result in substantial criminal and/or monetary penalties. We operate in jurisdictions that have experienced corruption, bribery, pay-offs and other similar practices from time-to-time and, in certain circumstances, such practices may be local custom. We have implemented internal control policies and procedures that mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. However, we cannot be certain that these policies and procedures will protect us against liability. There can be no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe criminal or civil penalties and other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL AND OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY LAWS AND REGULATIONS WORLDWIDE COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS, AND/OR SHARE PRICE.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning, among other things, the environment, climate change, regulation of chemicals, employee safety and product safety. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, storage, use and disposal of materials, including the discharge of hazardous materials and pollutants into the environment. In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to risks relating to possible releases of hazardous substances into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could result in (i) our noncompliance with such environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations and (ii) regulatory enforcement actions or claims for personal injury and property damage against us. If an unapproved or illegal environmental discharge occurs, or if we discover contamination caused by prior operations, including by prior owners and operators of properties we acquire, we could be liable for cleanup obligations, damages and fines. The substantial unexpected costs we may incur could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. In addition, our environmental capital expenditures and costs for environmental compliance may increase substantially in the future as a result of changes in environmental laws and regulations, the development and manufacturing of a new product or increased development or manufacturing activities at any of our facilities. We may be required to expend significant funds and our manufacturing activities could be delayed or suspended, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENTS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES.
We have invested in clean energy operations capable of producing refined coal that we believe qualify for tax credits under Section 45 of the Code. Our ability to claim tax credits under Section 45 of the Code depends upon the operations in which we have invested satisfying certain ongoing conditions set forth in Section 45 of the Code. These include, among others, the emissions reduction, “qualifying technology”, and “placed-in-service” requirements of Section 45 of the Code, as well as the requirement that at least one of the operations’ owners qualifies as a “producer” of refined coal. While we have received some degree of confirmation from the IRS relating to our ability to claim these tax credits, the IRS could ultimately determine that the operations have not satisfied, or have not continued to satisfy, the conditions set forth in Section 45 of the Code. Additionally, Congress could modify or repeal Section 45 of the Code and remove the tax credits retroactively.
In addition, Section 45 of the Code contains phase out provisions based upon the market price of coal, such that, if the price of coal rises to specified levels, we could lose some or all of the tax credits we expect to receive from these investments.
Finally, when the price of natural gas or oil declines relative to that of coal, some utilities may choose to burn natural gas or oil instead of coal. Market demand for coal may also decline as a result of an economic slowdown and a corresponding decline in the use of electricity. If utilities burn less coal, eliminate coal in the production of electricity or are otherwise unable to operate for an extended period of time, the availability of the tax credits would also be reduced. The occurrence of any of the above risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE SIGNIFICANT AND INCREASING AMOUNT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL RECORDED ON OUR BALANCE SHEET, MAINLY RELATED TO ACQUISITIONS, MAY LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT IMPAIRMENT CHARGES IN THE FUTURE WHICH COULD LEAD US TO HAVE TO TAKE SIGNIFICANT CHARGES AGAINST EARNINGS.
We regularly review our long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, for impairment. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment assessment at least annually. Other long-lived assets are reviewed when there is an indication that an impairment may have occurred. The amount of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet has increased significantly as a result of our acquisitions, and may increase further following future potential acquisitions. In addition, we may from time to time sell assets that we determine are not critical to our strategy or execution. Future events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. Certain non-cash impairments may result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Any impairment of the value of goodwill or other intangible assets will result in a charge against earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, shareholder’s equity, and/or share price.
WE MAY DECIDE TO SELL ASSETS, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH.
We may from time to time consider selling certain assets if (i) we determine that such assets are not critical to our strategy or (ii) we believe the opportunity to monetize the asset is attractive or for various other reasons, including for the reduction of indebtedness. We have explored and will continue to explore the sale of certain non-core assets. Although our expectation is to engage in asset sales only if they advance or otherwise support our overall strategy, any such sale could reduce the size or scope of our business, our market share in particular markets or our opportunities with respect to certain markets, products or therapeutic categories. As a result, any such sale could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects and opportunities for growth, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE AND NEW MYLAN HAVE SIGNIFICANT INDEBTEDNESS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL POSITION AND PREVENT US FROM FULFILLING OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER SUCH INDEBTEDNESS. ANY REFINANCING OF THIS DEBT COULD BE AT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER INTEREST RATES. OUR AND NEW MYLAN’S SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS COULD LEAD TO ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES.
Our and New Mylan’s level of indebtedness could have important consequences, including but not limited to:
|
|
•
|
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
|
|
|
•
|
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments and other general corporate purposes;
|
|
|
•
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, challenges and opportunities, and changes in our businesses and the markets in which we operate;
|
|
|
•
|
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt service requirements and other financing needs;
|
|
|
•
|
increasing our vulnerability to increases in interest rates in general because a substantial portion of our indebtedness bears interest at floating rates; and
|
|
|
•
|
placing us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors that have less debt.
|
Our and New Mylan’s ability to service our indebtedness will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. If we and New Mylan do not have sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness, we and New Mylan may need to refinance all or part of our existing indebtedness, borrow more money or sell securities or assets, some or all of which may not be available to us at acceptable terms or at all. In addition, we and New Mylan may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future in the ordinary course of business. Although the terms of our senior credit agreement and our bond indentures allow us to incur additional debt, this is subject to certain limitations which may preclude us from incurring the amount of indebtedness we otherwise desire.
In addition, if we and New Mylan incur additional debt, the risks described above could intensify. If global credit markets return to their recent levels of contraction, future debt financing may not be available to us when required or may not be available on acceptable terms, and as a result we may be unable to grow our business, take advantage of business opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
Our credit facilities, senior unsecured notes, accounts receivable securitization facility, other outstanding indebtedness and any additional indebtedness we incur in the future impose, or may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, pay certain dividends, prepay other indebtedness, sell assets, incur certain liens, enter into agreements with our affiliates or restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, merge or consolidate. In addition, our Revolving Credit Agreement, Term Credit Agreement and accounts receivable securitization facility require us to maintain specified financial ratios. A breach of any of these covenants or our inability to maintain the required financial ratios could result in a default under the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare our indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to
be immediately due and payable. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS RELATED TO OUR OUTSTANDING CASH CONVERTIBLE NOTES DUE 2015 (THE “CASH CONVERTIBLE NOTES”) WILL INCREASE IF NEW MYLAN’S STOCK PRICE INCREASES. ALSO, WE HAVE ENTERED INTO HEDGES AND WARRANT TRANSACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE CASH CONVERTIBLE NOTES IN ORDER TO HEDGE SOME OF THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE POTENTIAL INCREASE OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SETTLEMENT VALUE. SUCH TRANSACTIONS HAVE BEEN CONSUMMATED WITH CERTAIN COUNTERPARTIES, MAINLY HIGHLY RATED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. ANY INCREASE IN INDEBTEDNESS, NET EXPOSURE RELATED TO THE RISK OR FAILURE OF ANY COUNTERPARTIES TO PERFORM THEIR OBLIGATIONS, COULD HAVE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON US, INCLUDING UNDER OUR DEBT AGREEMENTS.
Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the value of the total amount of indebtedness related to our Cash Convertible Notes was based on our share price. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, we and New Mylan executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that, among other things, all relevant determinations for purposes of the cash conversion rights to which holders may be entitled from time to time in accordance with such indenture shall be made by reference to the New Mylan ordinary shares. From and after the consummation of the Transaction, the value of the total amount of indebtedness related to our Cash Convertible Notes will be based on New Mylan’s share price. Under applicable accounting rules, the cash conversion feature that is a term of the Cash Convertible Notes must be recorded as a liability on our balance sheet and periodically marked to fair value. If New Mylan’s stock price increases, the liability associated with the cash conversion feature would increase and, because this liability must be periodically marked to fair value on our balance sheet, the total amount of indebtedness related to the notes that is shown on our balance sheet would also increase. This could have adverse effects on us, including under any future debt agreements that contain covenants based on a definition of total indebtedness as defined under U.S. GAAP. As a result, we may not be able to comply with such covenants in the future, which could, among other things, restrict our ability to grow our business, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. The occurrence of any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
In connection with the issuance of the Cash Convertible Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain financial institutions, each of which we refer to as a counterparty. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the terms of the convertible note hedge were adjusted so that the cash settlement value will be based on New Mylan ordinary shares. The terms of the warrant transactions were also adjusted so that, from and after the consummation of the Transaction, we may settle the obligations under the warrant transaction by delivering New Mylan ordinary shares. The cash convertible note hedge is comprised of purchased cash-settled call options that are expected to reduce our exposure to potential cash payments required to be made by us upon the cash conversion of the Cash Convertible Notes. We have also entered into respective warrant transactions with the counterparties pursuant to which, as amended, we will have sold to each counterparty warrants for the purchase of shares of New Mylan’s ordinary shares. Together, each of the convertible note hedges and warrant transactions are expected to provide us with some protection against increases in New Mylan’s stock price over the conversion price per share. However, there is no assurance that these transactions will remain in effect at all times. Also, although we believe the counterparties are highly rated financial institutions, there are no assurances that the counterparties will be able to perform their respective obligations under the agreement we have with each of them. Any net exposure related to conversion of the notes or any failure of the counterparties to perform their obligations under the agreements we have with them could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE ENTER INTO VARIOUS AGREEMENTS IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS WHICH PERIODICALLY INCORPORATE PROVISIONS WHEREBY WE INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT.
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into employment, legal settlement, and other agreements which incorporate indemnification provisions. In some but not all cases, we maintain insurance coverage which we believe will effectively mitigate our obligations under certain of these indemnification provisions. However, should our obligation under an indemnification provision exceed any applicable coverage or should coverage be denied, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price could be materially adversely affected.
CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND CHANGES IN EXCHANGE RATES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CASH FLOWS, AND/OR SHARE PRICE.
Although we report our financial results in U.S. Dollars, a significant portion of our revenues, indebtedness and other liabilities and our costs are denominated in foreign currencies, including among others the Euro, Indian Rupee, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar and Brazilian Real. Our results of operations and, in some cases, cash flows, have in the past been and may in the future be adversely affected by certain movements in currency exchange rates. In particular, the risk of a debt default by one or more European countries and related European or national financial restructuring efforts may cause volatility in the value of the Euro. Defaults or restructurings in other countries could have a similar adverse impact. From time to time, we may implement currency hedges intended to reduce our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, our hedging strategies may not be successful, and any of our unhedged foreign exchange exposures will continue to be subject to market fluctuations. The occurrence of any of the above risks could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THERE ARE INHERENT UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVED IN ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. GAAP. ANY FUTURE CHANGES IN ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS USED OR NECESSARY REVISIONS TO PRIOR ESTIMATES, JUDGMENTS OR ASSUMPTIONS OR CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS COULD LEAD TO A RESTATEMENT OR REVISION TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The Consolidated and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in the periodic reports we file with the SEC are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to change in the future and any necessary revisions to prior estimates, judgments or assumptions could lead to a restatement. Furthermore, although we have recorded reserves for litigation related contingencies based on estimates of probable future costs, such litigation related contingencies could result in substantial further costs. Also, any new or revised accounting standards may require adjustments to previously issued financial statements. Any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE MUST MAINTAIN ADEQUATE INTERNAL CONTROLS AND BE ABLE, ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, TO PROVIDE AN ASSERTION AS TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SUCH CONTROLS.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports. We spend a substantial amount of management and other employee time and resources to comply with laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure. In the U.S., such regulations include the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations and the NASDAQ listing standards. In particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestation as to the effectiveness of these controls by our independent registered public accounting firm. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON OUR CONTINUED ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL. LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD LEAD TO LOSS OF CUSTOMERS, BUSINESS DISRUPTION, AND A DECLINE IN REVENUES, ADVERSELY AFFECT THE PROGRESS OF PIPELINE PRODUCTS, OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.
It is important that we attract and retain qualified personnel in order to develop and commercialize new products, manage the business, and compete effectively. Competition for qualified personnel in the pharmaceutical industry is very intense. If we fail to attract and retain key scientific, technical, commercial, or management personnel, our business could be affected adversely. Additionally, while we have employment agreements with certain key employees in place, their employment for the duration of the agreement is not guaranteed. Current and prospective employees might also experience uncertainty about
their future roles with us following the consummation of the Transaction, which might adversely affect our ability to retain key managers and other employees. If we are unsuccessful in retaining our key employees or enforcing certain post-employment contractual provisions such as confidentiality or non-competition, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF ENHANCING AND FURTHER DEVELOPING OUR GLOBAL ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED BUSINESS APPLICATIONS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS IF WE ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES.
We are enhancing and further developing our global enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) and other business critical information technology (“IT”) infrastructure systems and associated applications to provide more operating efficiencies and effective management of our business and financial operations. Such changes to ERP systems and related software, and other IT infrastructure carry risks such as cost overruns, project delays and business interruptions and delays. If we experience a material business interruption as a result of our ERP enhancements, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
WE ARE INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND OUR SYSTEMS AND INFRASTRUCTURE FACE CERTAIN RISKS, INCLUDING CYBERSECURITY AND DATA LEAKAGE RISKS.
Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. We are increasingly dependent on sophisticated information technology systems and infrastructure to operate our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit large amounts of confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We also have outsourced significant elements of our operations to third parties, some of which are outside the U.S., including significant elements of our information technology infrastructure, and as a result we are managing many independent vendor relationships with third parties who may or could have access to our confidential information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of our third party vendors with whom we contract, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions. The size and complexity of our and our vendors' systems and the large amounts of confidential information that is present on them also makes them potentially vulnerable to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners or vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. We and our vendors could be susceptible to third party attacks on our information security systems, which attacks are of ever increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including criminal groups, “hackers” and others. Maintaining the secrecy of this confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. However, such information can be difficult to protect. While we have taken steps to protect such information and invested heavily in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive information. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination, misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception, or for any other cause, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology or information, and/or adversely affect our business position. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information, could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
THE EXPANSION OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS PRESENT NEW RISKS AND CHALLENGES.
The inappropriate use of certain social media vehicles could cause brand damage or information leakage or could lead to legal implications from the improper collection and/or dissemination of personally identifiable information. In addition, negative posts or comments about us on any social networking web site could seriously damage our reputation. Further, the disclosure of non-public company sensitive information through external media channels could lead to information loss as there might not be structured processes in place to secure and protect information. If our non-public sensitive information is disclosed or if our reputation is seriously damaged through social media, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.

|
The following discussion and analysis addresses material changes in the financial condition and results of operations of
Mylan Inc.
and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “
Mylan
,” “our” or “we”) for the periods presented. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements
, the related
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
and our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and public disclosures.
This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements.” These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements about the acquisition (the “Abbott Transaction”) by Mylan N.V. (“New Mylan”) of both Mylan and Abbott Laboratories’ (“Abbott”) non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “Business”), benefits and synergies of the Transaction, future opportunities for Mylan or New Mylan and products, and any other statements regarding Mylan’s or New Mylan’s future operations, anticipated business levels, future earnings, planned activities, anticipated growth, market opportunities, strategies, competition, and other expectations and targets for future periods. These may often be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “potential,” “intend,” “continue,” “target” and variations of these words or comparable words. Because forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties, actual future results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the ability to meet expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the Transaction; changes in relevant tax and other laws, including but not limited to changes in healthcare and pharmaceutical laws and regulations in the U.S. and abroad; the integration of the Business being more difficult, time-consuming, or costly than expected; operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers, clients, or suppliers) being greater than expected following the Transaction; the retention of certain key employees of the Business being difficult; the possibility that Mylan and New Mylan may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the Transaction within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate the Business; expected or targeted future financial and operating performance and results; the capacity to bring new products to market, including but not limited to where Mylan or New Mylan uses its business judgment and decides to manufacture, market, and/or sell products, directly or through third parties, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) have not been finally resolved by the courts (i.e., an “at-risk launch”); success of clinical trials and our ability to execute on new product opportunities; the scope, timing, and outcome of any ongoing legal proceedings and the impact of any such proceedings on financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows; the ability to protect intellectual property and preserve intellectual property rights; the effect of any changes in customer and supplier relationships and customer purchasing patterns; the ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in third-party relationships; the impacts of competition; changes in the economic and financial conditions of the business of Mylan or New Mylan; the inherent challenges, risks, and costs in identifying, acquiring, and integrating complementary or strategic acquisitions of other companies, products or assets and in achieving anticipated synergies; uncertainties and matters beyond the control of management; and inherent uncertainties involved in the estimates and judgments used in the preparation of financial statements, and the providing of estimates of financial measures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and related standards or on an adjusted basis. For more detailed information on the risks and uncertainties associated with Mylan’s business activities, see the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and our and New Mylan’s other filings with the SEC. These risks, as well as other risks associated with Mylan,
New Mylan
, the Business, and the Transaction are also more fully discussed in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that New Moon B.V. (referred to herein as
New Mylan
) filed with the SEC on November 5, 2014, as amended on December 9, 2014, and as further amended on December 23, 2014, and in the proxy statement Mylan filed with the SEC on December 24, 2014, as well as the prospectus New Mylan filed with the SEC on December 24, 2014. You can access Mylan’s and

approximately
140
countries and territories. With the completion of the Transaction,
Mylan
has expanded its global footprint to reach customers in
approximately
145
countries and territories. We operate a global, high quality vertically-
integrated manufacturing platform, which includes

Mylan
has a specialty business that is focused on respiratory and allergy therapies.
Mylan
has
two
segments, “Generics” and “Specialty.” Generics primarily develops, manufactures, sells and distributes generic or branded generic pharmaceutical products in tablet, capsule, injectable or transdermal patch form, as well as API.
Our generic pharmaceutical business is conducted primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada (collectively, “North America”); Europe; and India, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil as well as our export activity into emerging markets (collectively, “Rest of World”). Our API business is conducted through
Mylan Laboratories Limited
(“
Mylan India
”), which is included within Rest of World in our Generics segment. Specialty engages mainly in the manufacture and sale of branded specialty injectable and nebulized products. We also report in Corporate/Other certain R&D expenses, general and administrative expenses, litigation settlements, amortization of intangible assets and certain purchase accounting items, impairment charges, if any, and other items not directly attributable to the segments.
Significant recent events include the following:
Abbott Branded Generics Business
On
July 13, 2014
, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with
Abbott
to acquire
Abbott
’s non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “Business”) in an all-stock transaction. On
November 4, 2014
, the Company and
Abbott
entered into an amended and restated definitive agreement implementing the transaction (the “Transaction Agreement”). The transaction, defined below, closed on
February 27, 2015
, after receiving approval from Mylan’s shareholders on
January 29, 2015
. At closing,
Abbott
transferred the Business to
Mylan N.V.
, (“
New Mylan
”) in exchange for
110 million
ordinary shares of
New Mylan
. Immediately after the transfer of the Business,
Mylan
merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of
New Mylan
(together with the transfer of the Business, the “Transaction”), with
Mylan
becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
New Mylan
.
Mylan
’s outstanding common stock was exchanged on a one to one basis for
New Mylan
ordinary shares. As a result of the Transaction,
New Mylan
’s corporate seat is located in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
, and its principal executive offices are located in
Potters Bar, United Kingdom
.
New Mylan
will also have global centers of excellence in the U.S., Europe and India.
The Business includes
more than
100
specialty and branded generic pharmaceutical products in
five
major therapeutic areas and includes several patent protected, novel and/or hard-to-manufacture products. As a result of the acquisition,
Mylan N.V.
has significantly expanded and strengthened its product portfolio in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The purchase price of the Transaction, which was on a debt-free basis, was
$6.31 billion
based on the closing price of
Mylan
stock as of the Transaction closing date, as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market
. As a result of the Transaction,
Mylan
shareholders own approximately
78%
of
New Mylan
and
Abbott
’s affiliates own approximately
22%
of
New Mylan
.
New Mylan
and
Abbott
entered into a shareholder agreement in connection with the Transaction.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP,
New Mylan
will use the purchase method of accounting to account for this Transaction with
Mylan
being treated as the accounting acquirer.
Agila Specialties
On
February 27, 2013
, the Company announced that it signed definitive agreements to acquire
Agila Specialties
businesses (“
Agila
”), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality generic injectable products, from
Strides Arcolab Limited
(“
Strides Arcolab
”). The transaction closed on
December 4, 2013
, and the total purchase price was approximately
$1.43 billion
(net of cash acquired of
$3.4 million
), which included estimated contingent consideration of
$250 million
. During the three months ended
September 30, 2014
, the Company entered into an agreement with
Strides Arcolab
to settle a portion of the contingent consideration for
$150 million
, for which the Company had accrued
$230 million
at the acquisition date. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized a gain of
$80 million
during the
year ended December 31, 2014
, which is included in other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
.
The remaining contingent consideration, which could total a maximum of
$211 million
, is primarily related to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions, including potential regulatory remediation costs and the resolution of certain pre-acquisition contingencies. The acquisition of
Agila
significantly expanded and strengthened
Mylan
's injectables platform and portfolio, and also provided
Mylan
entry into certain new geographic markets.
Other Transactions
On
February 2, 2015
, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire certain female health care businesses from Famy Care Limited (“Famy Care”), a specialty women’s health care company with global leadership in generic oral contraceptive products. The purchase price is
$750 million
in cash plus additional contingent payments of up to
$50 million
. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2015, subject to regulatory approvals and certain closing conditions.
On
January 30, 2015
, the Company entered into a development and commercialization collaboration with Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (“Theravance Biopharma”) for the development and, subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval, commercialization of TD-4208, a novel once-daily nebulized long-acting muscarinic antagonist (“LAMA”) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”) and other respiratory diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Mylan and Theravance Biopharma will co-develop nebulized TD-4208 for COPD and other respiratory diseases. Theravance Biopharma will lead the U.S. registrational development program and Mylan will be responsible for reimbursement of Theravance Biopharma's costs for that program up until the approval of the first new drug application, after which costs will be shared. In addition, Mylan will be responsible for commercial manufacturing. In the U.S., Mylan will lead commercialization and Theravance Biopharma will retain the right to co-promote the product under a profit-sharing arrangement. In addition to funding the U.S. registrational development program, Mylan will pay Theravance Biopharma an initial payment of
$15 million
in the second quarter of 2015 and made a
$30 million
equity investment in Theravance Biopharma. Under the terms of the agreement, Theravance Biopharma is eligible to receive potential development and sales milestone payments totaling
$220 million
in the aggregate.
On
September 10, 2014
, the Company entered into an agreement with Aspen Global Incorporated to acquire the U.S. commercialization, marketing and intellectual property rights related to Arixtra® Injection (“Arixtra”) and the authorized generic rights of Arixtra. The purchase price for this intangible asset was
$300 million
, of which
$225 million
was paid at the closing of the transaction on
September 25, 2014
. An additional
$37.5 million
was paid during the fourth quarter of
2014
. The remaining
$37.5 million
is held in escrow and will be released upon satisfaction of certain conditions.
Senior Credit Facilities and Issuance of Senior Notes
In December 2014, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndication of lenders, which contains a
$1.5 billion
revolving facility (the “New Revolving Facility”). The New Revolving Facility includes a
$150 million
subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit and a
$125 million
subfacility for swingline borrowings. Amounts drawn on the New Revolving Facility become due and payable on
December 19, 2019
.
In December 2014, the Company also entered into a new Term Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks which provided an
$800 million
term loan (“2014 Term Loan”). The 2014 Term Loan matures on
December 19, 2017
and has no required amortization payments. The proceeds of the 2014 Term Loan were used for working capital expenditures and to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit agreement entered into in June 2013 (the “June 2013 Credit Agreement”). Borrowings under the June 2013 Credit Agreement were used to fund the redemption of the November 2018 Senior Notes.
In January 2015, Mylan Securitization LLC (“Mylan Securitization”) entered into a new accounts receivable securitization facility with a group of financial institutions and commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions (the “Receivables Facility”). The Receivables Facility has a committed balance of $400 million, although from time-to-time, the available amount of the Receivables Facility may be less than $400 million based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. The Receivables Facility matures in January 2018.
In November 2013, we issued
$2.0 billion
aggregate principal amount of registered Senior Notes, comprised of
1.350%
Senior Notes due 2016,
2.550%
Senior Notes due 2019,
4.200%
Senior Notes due 2023 and
5.400%
Senior Notes due 2043. The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the acquisition of
Agila
and for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of short-term borrowings and funding of the share repurchase program executed in the fourth quarter of 2013.
In June 2013, we issued
$1.15 billion
aggregate principal amount of
1.800%
Senior Notes due 2016 and
2.600%
Senior Notes due 2018 (“June 2013 Senior Notes”) in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange these notes for registered notes with the same aggregate principal amount and terms substantially identical in all material respects. This registration statement was declared effective on January 31, 2014 and the exchange offer was
completed on March 4, 2014. Net proceeds from the June 2013 Senior Notes were used to repay all of its outstanding
$1.13 billion
2011 Term Loans and for general corporate purposes.

A detailed discussion of the Company’s financial results can be found below in the section titled “Results of Operations.” As part of this discussion, we also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measure of “constant currency” sales. This measure provides information on the change in net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented at constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our third party net sales performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. The following table compares third party net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment and the geographic regions within the Generics segment for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

More information about other non-GAAP measures used by the Company as part of this discussion, including Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Gross Margins, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS can be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Results of Operations
2014
Compared to
2013
Total Revenues and Gross Profit
For the
year ended December 31, 2014
,
Mylan
reported total revenues of
$7.72 billion
compared to
$6.91 billion
in the prior year. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Third party net sales for the current year were
$7.65 billion
compared to
$6.86 billion
for the prior year, representing
an increase
of
$789.9 million
, or
11.5%
. Other
third party revenues for the current year were
$73.1 million
compared to
$52.5 million
in the prior year,
an increase
of
$20.6 million
.
Mylan
’s current year revenues were
unfavorably
impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of
Mylan
’s subsidiaries in India, Japan, Australia and Canada. The
unfavorable
impact of foreign currency translation on current year total revenues was approximately
$86 million
, or
1%
. As such, constant currency total revenues increased approximately
$897 million
, or
13%
. The
increase
in constant currency total revenues was the result of double digit third party net sales growth in the Specialty and Generics segments, which included growth in all regions. The contribution from new products, and to a lesser extent, net sales from acquired businesses, totaled approximately
$593 million
in
2014
. Constant currency net sales from existing products increased approximately
$283 million
as a result of constant currency
increases
in volume of approximately
$203 million
and in pricing of approximately
$80 million
.
In arriving at net sales, gross sales are reduced by provisions for estimates, including discounts, rebates, promotions, price adjustments, returns and chargebacks. See the section titled
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
in this Item 7, for a discussion of our methodology with respect to such provisions. For
2014
, the most significant amounts charged against gross sales were
$3.47 billion
related to chargebacks and
$1.55 billion
related to incentives offered to our direct customers, such as promotions and volume related incentives. For
2013
, the most significant amounts charged against gross sales were for chargebacks in the amount of
$2.35 billion
and incentives offered to our direct customers in the amount of
$1.64 billion
.
Cost of sales for the
year ended December 31, 2014
was
$4.19 billion
, compared to
$3.87 billion
in the prior year. Cost of sales for the current year was impacted by the amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately
$403.6 million
and restructuring and other special items of approximately
$113.7 million
as described further in the section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” The prior year comparable period cost of sales included similar purchase accounting related amortization of approximately
$369.1 million
and restructuring and other special items of approximately
$54.7 million
. The
increase
in current year purchase accounting related amortization and restructuring and other special items is principally the result of increased acquisition related costs and amortization expense as a result of the Agila acquisition, which was completed in late 2013. Excluding purchase accounting related amortization and restructuring and other special items, Adjusted Cost of Sales in the current year
increased
to
$3.67 billion
from
$3.45 billion
, corresponding to the increase in net sales.
Gross profit for the current year was
$3.53 billion
and gross margins were
45.7%
. For
2013
, gross profit was
$3.04 billion
, and gross margins were
44.0%
. Excluding the purchase accounting related amortization and restructuring and other special items discussed in the paragraph above, Adjusted Gross Margins were approximately
52%
and
50%
in
2014
and
2013
, respectively. Adjusted Gross Margins were favorably impacted in the current year as a result of new product introductions by approximately
180
basis points and favorable pricing and volume on the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
in our Specialty segment by approximately
45
basis points. These increases were partially offset by lower pricing on existing products within the Generics segment.
From time to time, a limited number of our products may represent a significant portion of our net sales, gross profit and net earnings. Generally, this is due to the timing of new product launches and the amount, if any, of additional competition in the market. Our top ten products in terms of sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately
33%
and
31%
of the Company’s total revenues in
2014
and
2013
, respectively.
Generics Segment
For the current year, Generics third party net sales were
$6.46 billion
compared to
$5.87 billion
in the prior year,
an increase
of
$584.5 million
, or
9.9%
. Foreign currency had an
unfavorable
impact on third party net sales for the current year. Generics constant currency third party net sales for the current year
increased
by approximately
$671 million
, or
11%
when compared to the prior year.
Third party net sales from North America were
$3.36 billion
for the current year, compared to
$3.01 billion
for the prior year, representing
an increase
of
$354.6 million
, or
11.8%
. The increase in current year third party net sales was principally due to net sales from new products, and to a lesser extent, net sales from acquired businesses totaling approximately
$480 million
. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes on existing products. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within North America.
Products generally contribute most significantly to revenues and gross margins at the time of their launch, even more so in periods of market exclusivity, or in periods of limited generic competition. As such, the timing of new product introductions can have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results. The entrance into the market of additional
competition generally has a negative impact on the volume and pricing of the affected products. Additionally, pricing is often affected by factors outside of the Company’s control.
Third party net sales from Europe were
$1.48 billion
in
2014
, compared to
$1.43 billion
in
2013
,
an increase
of
$47.1 million
, or
3.3%
. This
increase
was the result of increased volumes in France, Italy and the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) as well as new product net sales. Partially offsetting this increase was lower pricing in a number of European markets in which
Mylan
operates, as a result of government-imposed pricing reductions and competitive market conditions. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within Europe.
Local currency third party net sales from
Mylan
’s businesses in France, Italy and the U.K.
increased
compared to the prior year as a result of new product launches and
higher
volumes on existing products partially offset by the impact of lower pricing due to government-imposed pricing reductions and an increasingly competitive market. Our market share in France remained relatively stable in
2014
as compared to
2013
, and we remain the market leader.
In addition to France, Italy and the U.K., certain other markets in which we do business, including Spain, have undergone government-imposed price reductions, and further government-imposed price reductions are expected in the future. Such measures, along with the tender systems discussed below, are likely to have a negative impact on revenues and gross profit in these markets. However, government initiatives in certain markets that appear to favor generic products could help to mitigate this unfavorable effect by increasing rates of generic substitution and penetration.
A number of markets in which we operate have implemented or may implement tender systems for generic pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices. Generally speaking, tender systems can have an unfavorable impact on revenue and profitability. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids that establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. Upon winning the tender, the winning company will receive a preferential reimbursement for a period of time. The tender system often results in companies underbidding one another by proposing low pricing in order to win the tender. Additionally, the loss of a tender by a third party to whom we supply API can also have a negative impact on our sales and profitability. Sales, primarily in Germany, continue to be negatively affected by the impact of tender systems.
In Rest of World, third party net sales were
$1.62 billion
in
2014
, compared to
$1.44 billion
in
2013
,
an increase
of
$182.7 million
, or
12.7%
. Rest of World constant currency third party net sales increased by approximately
$260 million
, or
18%
. This increase was primarily driven by
higher
third party net sales by our operations in India as a result of strong growth in the antiretroviral (“ARV”) franchise, as well as constant currency growth in Japan. Sales were also positively impacted by increases in net sales from new products and acquired businesses.
The increase
in third party net sales from our operations in India is due to significant growth in sales of finished dosage form (“FDF”) ARV products used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. In addition to third party net sales, Rest of World region also supplies both FDF generic products and API to Mylan subsidiaries in conjunction with the Company’s vertical integration strategy. Intercompany sales recognized by Rest of World region were
$714.0 million
in
2014
, compared to
$678.3 million
in the prior year. These intercompany sales eliminate within, and therefore are not included in Generics or consolidated third party net sales.
In Japan, third party net sales increased as a result of new product introductions. The Company continues to see Japan as a key region for future sales growth as the market expands. In Australia, local currency third party net sales decreased versus the prior year as a result of significant government-imposed pricing reform and reduced volumes, partially offset by new product sales. As in Europe, both Australia and Japan have undergone government-imposed price reductions which have had, and could continue to have, a negative impact on sales and gross profit in these markets.
Specialty Segment
For the current year, Specialty reported third party net sales of
$1.19 billion
,
an increase
of
$205.5 million
, or
20.9%
, from the prior year of
$981.7 million
. The increase was principally the result of higher sales of the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
, which is used in the treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), as a result of favorable pricing and increased volume. The
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
is the
number one dispensed
epinephrine auto-injector and, in 2014 it became the first Mylan product to reach
$1 billion
in annual net sales. The market continues to grow as awareness of the risk of anaphylaxis increases. In addition, sales of the
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
increased by double digits from the prior year as a result of favorable pricing.
Operating Expenses
Research & Development Expense
R&D expense in
2014
was
$581.8 million
, compared to
$507.8 million
in the same prior year period,
an increase
of
$74.0 million
. R&D increased primarily due to the continued development of our respiratory and biologics programs as well as the timing of internal and external product development projects, including increased clinical activities, payroll and material costs. These increases were partially offset by a decline in up front licensing and milestone payments, which totaled approximately
$18 million
in
2014
compared to approximately
$49 million
in the prior year.
Selling, General & Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense for the current year was
$1.63 billion
, compared to
$1.41 billion
for the prior year,
an increase
of
$217.2 million
. SG&A increased due to increased selling and marketing costs of approximately
$52 million
, primarily related to the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
, which includes our direct-to-consumer marketing campaign. Additionally, as we continue to build our infrastructure in certain areas, we experienced increased employee costs of approximately
$60 million
and software implementation costs of approximately
$13 million
. To support anticipated new product launches within the North America region of the Generics segment, legal costs increased approximately
$11 million
during 2014. In addition the Company incurred a current year loss on the disposal of certain assets of approximately
$16 million
and increased costs related to acquisitions of approximately
$31 million
.
Litigation Settlements, Net
During
2014
, the Company recorded a
$47.9 million
net
charge
for litigation settlements, compared to a net gain of
$14.6 million
in the prior year. The charge in the current year was primarily related to the settlement of a European Commission matter of
$21.7 million
, the settlement of an intellectual property matter and, to a lesser extent, litigation settlements related to product liability claims. In the prior year, the Company recognized a gain related to the settlement of patent-infringement matters totaling approximately
$25 million
, including recoveries related to product launches. These recoveries were offset by a
$10.3 million
charge related to the settlement of a European Commission matter.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net
During
2014
, the Company recognized a
gain
of
$80.0 million
as a result of an agreement with
Strides Arcolab
to settle a component of the contingent consideration related to the Agila acquisition. The
gain
recognized relates to the recovery of lost revenues in
2014
arising from supply disruptions that resulted from on-going quality-enhancement activities initiated at certain Agila facilities prior to the Company’s acquisition of Agila in
2013
. In the prior year period, the Company recognized a
charge
of
$3.1 million
related to fair value adjustments to contingent consideration.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for
2014
totaled
$333.2 million
, compared to
$313.3 million
for
2013
. The
increase
in the current year is principally due to higher average debt balances, higher interest expense related to clean energy investments and non-cash accretion of contingent consideration liabilities. Included in interest expense is non-cash interest, primarily made up of the amortization of the discounts and premiums on our convertible debt instruments and senior notes totaling
$30.2 million
for the current period and
$28.2 million
for the prior year. Also included in interest expense is accretion of our contingent consideration liability related to certain acquisitions, which was
$35.3 million
in the current year compared to
$32.3 million
in the prior year.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net
, was
expense
of
$44.9 million
in the current year, compared to
expense
of
$74.9 million
in the prior year.
Other expense (income), net
includes losses from equity affiliates, foreign exchange gains and losses and interest and dividend income. In the current year,
other expense (income), net
included losses from equity affiliates of approximately
$91 million
, principally related to the Company’s clean energy investments, charges of approximately
$33 million
related to the redemption of the
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018 and the termination of forward starting swaps, partially offset by foreign exchange gains of approximately
$78 million
. In the prior year, the Company incurred charges of approximately
$64 million
related to the redemption of the
7.625%
Senior Notes due in 2017, comprised of the redemption premium and the write-off of deferred financing fees, as well as charges of approximately
$9 million
in conjunction with the June 2013 Credit Agreement refinancing transaction related to the write-off of deferred financing fees.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax
expense
of
$41.4 million
in
2014
, compared to income tax
expense
of
$120.8 million
in
2013
,
a decrease
of
$79.4 million
. This decrease was primarily due to the Company receiving approvals in 2014 from the relevant Indian regulatory authorities to legally merge its wholly owned subsidiaries, Agila Specialties Private Limited and Onco Therapies Limited, into Mylan Laboratories Limited. The merger resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset of approximately
$150 million
for the tax deductible goodwill in excess of the book goodwill with a corresponding benefit to income tax expense. In addition, during
2014
, the Company recorded an increase in tax credits as a result of additional investments in facilities whose production is eligible for tax credits under Section 45 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended of (the “Code”). Partially offsetting these items were increases in valuation allowances for net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, lower net foreign tax credit benefits and additional amounts of uncertain tax positions in
2014
.
2013
Compared to
2012
Total Revenues and Gross Profit
For the
year ended December 31, 2013
,
Mylan
reported total revenues of
$6.91 billion
compared to
$6.80 billion
in
2012
. Total revenues include both net sales and other revenues from third parties. Third party net sales for
2013
were
$6.86 billion
compared to
$6.75 billion
for
2012
, representing
an increase
of
$106.4 million
, or
1.6%
. Other third party revenues for
2013
were
$52.5 million
compared to
$45.9 million
in
2012
,
an increase
of
$6.6 million
.
Mylan
’s
2013
revenues were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, primarily reflecting changes in the U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies of
Mylan
’s subsidiaries in India, Australia and Japan. The unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation on
2013
total revenues was approximately
$123 million
, or
2%
. As such, constant currency total revenues increased approximately
$236 million
, or
3%
. The contribution from new product launches in
2013
of approximately
$285 million
was not as significant as the contribution in
2012
of approximately
$922 million
, a decline of approximately
69%
. The North America region of the Generics segment accounted for the majority of this decline in the contribution from new product net sales in
2013
versus
2012
. Offsetting the decline in new product net sales was
14%
constant currency revenue growth in Rest of World region of the Generics segment and
18%
constant currency revenue growth in the Specialty segment. Constant currency net sales from existing products decreased approximately
$56 million
. The decrease was driven by a pricing decline of approximately
$377 million
due to lower pricing within both Generics, partially offset by favorable pricing within Specialty. The pricing decline was partially offset by incremental volume within both Generics and Specialty, which contributed approximately
$321 million
to
2013
sales. The operating results of Agila were included in
Mylan
’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date, December 4, 2013, and were not material.
In arriving at net sales, gross revenues are reduced by provisions for estimates, including discounts, rebates, promotions, price adjustments, returns and chargebacks. See the section titled
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
in this Item 7, for a discussion of our methodology with respect to such provisions. For
2013
, the most significant amounts charged against gross revenues were
$2.35 billion
related to chargebacks and
$1.64 billion
related to incentives offered to our direct customers, such as promotions and volume related incentives. For
2012
, the most significant amounts charged against gross revenues were for chargebacks in the amount of
$2.35 billion
and incentives offered to our direct customers in the amount of
$1.67 billion
.
Cost of sales for
2013
was
$3.87 billion
, compared to
$3.89 billion
in
2012
. Cost of sales in
2013
was impacted by the amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring and other special items as described further in the section titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” These items totaled approximately
$423.8 million
in
2013
. Cost of sales for
2012
included similar purchase accounting and restructuring and other special items in the amount of
$456.8 million
. The decrease in
2013
of purchase accounting and restructuring and other special items was principally the result of a
$41.6 million
in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) impairment charge in
2012
as compared to an impairment charge of
$18.0 million
in
2013
. Excluding these amounts, Adjusted Cost of Sales increased in
2013
to
$3.45 billion
from
$3.43 billion
, corresponding to the increase in sales.
Gross profit for
2013
was
$3.04 billion
and gross margins were
44.0%
. For
2012
, gross profit was
$2.91 billion
, and gross margins were
42.8%
. Excluding the purchase accounting, restructuring and other special items discussed in the paragraph above, Adjusted Gross Margins were approximately
50%
in both
2013
and
2012
. Gross margins were favorably impacted in
2013
as a result of new product introductions by approximately
130
basis points and favorable pricing and volume on
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
in our Specialty segment by approximately
70
basis points. These increases were almost entirely offset by lower pricing on existing products within the Generics segment.
From time to time, a limited number of our products may represent a significant portion of our net sales, gross profit and net earnings. Generally, this is due to the timing of new product launches and the amount, if any, of additional competition in the market. Our top ten products in terms of sales, in the aggregate, represented approximately
31%
and
28%
of total revenues in
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Generics Segment
For
2013
, Generics third party net sales were
$5.87 billion
compared to
$5.91 billion
in
2012
, a decrease of
$40.0 million
, or
0.7%
. Generics constant currency third party net sales for
2013
increased by approximately
$83 million
, or
1%
.
Third party net sales from North America were
$3.01 billion
for
2013
, compared to
$3.23 billion
for
2012
, representing
a decrease
of
$218.8 million
, or
6.8%
. The
decrease
in
2013
third party net sales was due to a greater amount of net sales from new product launches in
2012
versus
2013
. Third party net sales from new product launches totaled approximately
$198 million
in
2013
, compared to
$784 million
in
2012
, a decrease of approximately
75%
. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within North America.
Products generally contribute most significantly to revenues and gross margins at the time of their launch, even more so in periods of market exclusivity, or in periods of limited generic competition. As such, the timing of new product introductions can have a significant impact on
Mylan
’s financial results. The entrance into the market of additional competition generally has a negative impact on the volume and pricing of the affected products. Additionally, pricing is often affected by factors outside of the Company’s control.
Third party net sales from Europe were
$1.43 billion
in
2013
, compared to
$1.30 billion
in
2012
,
an increase
of
$132.1 million
, or
10.2%
. Constant currency third party net sales from Europe in 2013 resulted in a year-over-year increase of approximately
$98 million
, or
8%
. This
increase was the result of a double-digit increase in constant currency third party net sales in France and Italy as a result of net sales from new products and favorable volumes. Partially offsetting this increase was lower pricing in a number of European markets in which
Mylan
operates, as a result of government imposed pricing reductions and competitive market conditions.
Local currency third party net sales from
Mylan
’s businesses in France and Italy increased in
2013
as compared to
2012
as a result of new product launches and higher volumes on existing products partially offset by the impact of lower pricing due to government-imposed pricing reductions and an increasingly competitive market. Our market share in France remained relatively stable in
2013
as compared to
2012
, and we remain the market leader.
In the U.K., local currency third party net sales increased by double digits in
2013
versus
2012
as a result of favorable pricing on existing products combined with new product introductions.
In addition to France and Italy, certain other markets in which we do business, including Spain, have undergone government-imposed price reductions, and further government-imposed price reductions are expected in the future. Such measures, along with the tender systems discussed below, are likely to have a negative impact on net sales and gross profit in these markets. However, government initiatives in certain markets that appear to favor generic products could help to mitigate this unfavorable effect by potentially increasing rates of generic substitution and penetration.
A number of markets in which we operate have implemented tender systems for generic pharmaceuticals in an effort to lower prices. Generally speaking, tender systems can have an unfavorable impact on revenue and profitability. Under such tender systems, manufacturers submit bids which establish prices for generic pharmaceutical products. Upon winning the tender, the winning company will receive a preferential reimbursement for a period of time. The tender system often results in companies underbidding one another by proposing low pricing in order to win the tender. Additionally, the loss of a tender by a third party to whom we supply API can also have a negative impact on our sales and profitability. Sales, primarily in Germany, continue to be negatively affected by the impact of tender systems.
In Rest of World, third party net sales were
$1.44 billion
in
2013
, compared to
$1.39 billion
in
2012
,
an increase
of
$46.7 million
, or
3.4%
. Rest of World constant currency third party net sales would have increased by approximately
$200 million
, or
14%
. This increase was primarily driven by higher third party net sales by our operations in India, particularly in the ARV franchise, as well as double digit constant currency growth in Japan.
The increase in third party net sales from our operations in India was due to significant growth in sales of ARV products used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, both as FDF generic products and API. In addition to third party net sales, Rest of
World region also supplied both FDF generic products and API to Mylan subsidiaries in conjunction with Mylan’s vertical integration strategy. Intercompany sales recognized by Rest of World region were
$678.3 million
in
2013
, compared to
$595.6 million
in
2012
. These intercompany sales eliminate within, and therefore are not included in, Generics or consolidated net sales.
In Japan, third party net sales increased by double digits as a result of higher volumes and new product introductions. In Australia, local currency third party net sales were slightly lower in
2013
than
2012
as a result of significant government-imposed pricing reform, partially offset by new product sales and incremental volumes on existing products. As in Europe, both Australia and Japan have undergone government-imposed price reductions which have had a negative impact on sales and gross profit in these markets.
Specialty Segment
For
2013
, Specialty reported third party net sales of
$981.7 million
, an increase of
$146.3 million
, or
17.6%
, from third party net sales in
2012
of
$835.4 million
. The increase was principally the result of higher sales of the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
, which is used in the treatment of severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), as a result of favorable pricing and increased volumes. The
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
is the
number one dispensed
epinephrine auto-injector. The market continues to grow as awareness of the risk of anaphylaxis increases. In addition, sales of the
Perforomist® Inhalation Solution
increased by double digits from
2012
as a result of favorable pricing.
Operating Expenses
Research & Development Expense
R&D expense in
2013
was
$507.8 million
, compared to
$401.3 million
in
2012
,
an increase
of
$106.5 million
. R&D increased in
2013
primarily due to the expenses related to the development of our respiratory and biologics programs as well as the timing of internal and external product development projects. In addition, during
2013
the Company incurred up front licensing and milestone payments of approximately
$49.4 million
.
Selling, General & Administrative Expense
SG&A expense for
2013
was
$1.41 billion
, compared to
$1.39 billion
for
2012
,
an increase
of
$16.1 million
. Primary factors contributing to the increase in SG&A include an increase in certain payroll and related employee benefit costs of approximately
$42 million
as we continue to build out our infrastructure in certain areas and costs related to acquisitions of approximately
$37 million
. These items were partially offset by lower sales and marketing costs in Japan of approximately
$29 million
, as a result of the collaboration with Pfizer Japan Inc. (“Pfizer Japan”) and lower marketing and advertising related costs within our Specialty segment of approximately
$14 million
.
Litigation Settlements, Net
During
2013
, the Company recorded a
$14.6 million
net
gain
for litigation settlements, compared to a net
gain
of
$3.1 million
during
2012
. The net
gain
in litigation settlements in
2013
was principally related to recoveries of lost profits in patent-infringement matters totaling approximately
$25 million
, including recoveries related to product launches. These recoveries were partially offset by a
$10.3 million
charge related to a European Commission matter. In
2012
, the Company recorded a
$3.1 million
net gain comprised of gains of approximately
$34 million
for the favorable resolution of patent infringement matters, partially offset by an approximate
$20 million
charge related to pricing litigation matters and other patent infringement matters.
Other Operating (Income) Expense, Net
In 2013, the Company recognized a charge of
$3.1 million
related to fair value adjustments to contingent consideration. In 2012, the Company recognized a charge of
$8.3 million
related to fair value adjustments to contingent consideration.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for
2013
totaled
$313.3 million
, compared to
$308.7 million
for
2012
. The
increase
in
2013
was primarily due to higher interest expense related to clean energy investments and non-cash accretion of contingent consideration liabilities. Included in interest expense is the amortization of discounts and premiums on our convertible debt instruments and
senior notes, which totaled
$28.2 million
in
2013
and
$29.4 million
in
2012
. Also included in interest expense for
2013
was
$32.3 million
of accretion of our contingent consideration liability compared to
$30.7 million
in 2012.
Other Expense (Income), Net
Other expense (income), net
, was
expense
of
$74.9 million
in
2013
compared to
income
of
$3.5 million
in
2012
.
Other expense (income), net
in
2013
included charges of approximately
$63.9 million
related to the redemption of the
7.625%
Senior Notes due 2017, comprised of the redemption premium and the write-off of deferred financing fees. In addition, the Company incurred charges of approximately
$8.7 million
related to the write-off of deferred financing fees in conjunction with the refinancing of the senior credit facility. Also included are losses from equity affiliates, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses and interest and dividend income.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax
expense
of
$120.8 million
in
2013
compared to income tax
expense
of
$161.2 million
in
2012
, a
decrease
of
$40.4 million
. This
decrease
was primarily due to a lower pre-tax income; an increase in business tax credits as a result of additional investments made during the year in facilities whose production is eligible for credits under Section 45 of the Code; a reduction in income subject to tax in the U.S.; and the retroactive effect of federal tax legislation enacted in January
2013
. Partially offsetting these items were increases in valuation allowances for net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, lower net foreign tax credit benefits and lower releases and settlements of uncertain tax positions in
2013
. Also affecting the Company’s changes to its tax provision were higher levels of income earned in jurisdictions with tax rates below the U.S. rate.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Whenever the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, it will provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, since these are not measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies.
Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Margin
We use the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted Cost of Sales” and the corresponding “Adjusted Gross Margin.” We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental information for our investors and when considered together with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our operations. The principal items excluded from Adjusted Cost of Sales include acquisition related items and restructuring and other special items, both of which are described in greater detail below.
A reconciliation between cost of sales, as reported under U.S. GAAP, and Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Margin for the periods shown follows:

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and provides an alternative view of performance used by management. Management believes that, primarily due to acquisitions, an evaluation of the Company’s ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”) are two of the most important internal financial metrics related to the ongoing operating performance of the Company, and management also believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by these adjusted measures. Actual internal and forecasted operating results and annual budgets include Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS, and the financial performance of the Company is measured by senior management on this basis along with other performance metrics. Management’s annual incentive compensation is derived in part based on the Adjusted EPS metric.
The significant items excluded from Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS include:
Acquisition-Related Items
The ongoing impact of certain amounts recorded in connection with acquisitions is excluded from Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS. These amounts include the amortization of intangible assets and inventory step-up, intangible asset impairment charges (including IPR&D), accretion and the fair value adjustments related to contingent consideration and certain acquisition financing related costs. These costs are excluded because management believes that excluding them is helpful to understanding the underlying, ongoing operational performance of the business.
Restructuring and Other Special Items
Costs related to restructuring and other actions are excluded from Adjusted Cost of Sales, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS, as applicable. These amounts include items such as:
|
|
•
|
Exit costs associated with facilities to be closed or divested, including employee separation costs, impairment charges, accelerated depreciation, incremental manufacturing variances, equipment relocation costs and other exit costs;
|
|
|
•
|
Certain acquisition related integration costs, as well as other costs associated with acquisitions and other business transformation and/or optimization initiatives, which are not part of a formal restructuring program, including employee separation and post-employment costs;
|
|
|
•
|
Certain transition and other costs associated with the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement in 2012 governing certain employees at our Morgantown, West Virginia manufacturing facility, including the withdrawal obligation from a multi-employer pension plan;
|
|
|
•
|
The pre-tax loss of the Company’s investments in clean energy investments, whose activities qualify for income tax credits under Section 45 of the Code; only included in Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS is the net tax effect of the entity’s activities;
|
|
|
•
|
Certain costs to further develop and optimize our global enterprise resource planning systems, operations and supply chain; and
|
|
|
•
|
Certain costs related to new operations and significant alliances/business partnerships, including certain upfront and/or milestone research and development related payments.
|
The Company has undertaken restructurings and other optimization initiatives of differing types, scope and amount during the covered periods and, therefore, these charges should not be considered non-recurring; however, management excludes these amounts from Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS because it believes it is helpful to understanding the underlying, ongoing operational performance of the business.
Litigation Settlements, net
Charges and gains related to legal matters, such as those discussed in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
— Note

, “Contingencies” are generally excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS. Normal, ongoing defense costs of the Company made in the normal course of our business are not excluded.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of liquidity is cash
provided by
operations, which was
$1.01 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2014
. We believe that cash provided by operating activities and available liquidity will continue to allow us to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on debt obligations and other cash needs over the next several years. Nevertheless, our ability to satisfy our working capital requirements and debt service obligations, or fund planned capital expenditures, will substantially depend upon our future operating performance (which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions), and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Net cash
provided by
operating activities decreased by
$91.8 million
to
$1.01 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2014
, as compared to
$1.11 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2013
. The
net decrease
in cash
provided by
operating activities was principally due to the following:
|
|
•
|
an increase in the amount of cash used for other operating assets and liabilities, net of
$259.1 million
, principally due to an increase in cash paid for accrued litigation settlements of
$66.6 million
as well as an increase in cash paid related to the settlement of derivative and foreign exchange contracts;
|
|
|
•
|
a
net decrease
in the amount of cash provided by changes in trade accounts payable of
$137.5 million
as a result of the timing of cash disbursements;
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in the amount of cash used for accounts receivable, including estimated sales allowances, of
$23.5 million
reflecting the timing of sales, cash collections and disbursements related to sales allowances; and
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in the amount of cash used through changes in deferred income taxes of
$228.1 million
.
|
These items were offset by the following:
|
|
•
|
an increase
in net earnings of
$306.6 million
, which includes a
net increase
of
$160.4 million
in the amount of non-cash expenses, principally as a result of increased depreciation and amortization as a result of prior year acquisitions, increased losses from equity method investments and a number of other non-cash charges including stock compensation, restructuring charges and the accretion of the contingent consideration liabilities; and
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in the amount of cash provided by changes in income taxes of
$79.6 million
as a result of the level of estimated tax payments made during the current year.
|
Net cash
provided by
operating activities
increased
by
$157.6 million
to
$1.11 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2013
as compared to
$949.0 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2012
. The
net increase
in cash
provided by
operating activities was principally due to the following:
|
|
•
|
a net increase in cash provided through changes in legal and professional accruals of
$135.0 million
, primarily as a result of a higher amount of litigation payments in 2012;
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in cash of
$25.0 million
for cash collected from litigation settlements;
|
|
|
•
|
a net decrease in the amount of cash used through changes in income taxes of
$48.9 million
as a result of the level of estimated tax payments made in 2013;
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in the amount of cash provided by changes in trade accounts payable of
$55.8 million
as a result of the timing of cash disbursements; and
|
|
|
•
|
a
net decrease
of
$14.9 million
in the amount of cash used through changes in inventory balances. The decrease in cash utilized for inventory in 2013 (as compared to 2012) reflects a lower level of increases in raw material, work in process and finished goods inventories as compared to the prior year. The higher prior year investment was primarily due to an inventory build in late 2012 in anticipation of additional manufacturing capacity in India that came on-line in early 2013. Nevertheless, we continued to invest in inventory in 2013 primarily to support anticipated volume growth as a result of projected increases in generic utilization, particularly in certain European markets.
|
These items were partially offset by the following:
|
|
•
|
a decrease in net earnings of
$16.5 million
, combined with a net decrease in the amount of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization totaling
$30.6 million
as a result of higher 2012 IPR&D impairment charges;
|
|
|
•
|
a net increase in the amount of cash used for accounts receivable, including estimated sales allowances, of
$118.4 million
reflecting the timing of sales, cash collections and disbursements related to sales allowances; and
|
|
|
•
|
during 2013, the Company redeemed its
7.625%
Senior Notes due 2017 for a total of
$608.8 million
, including a
$58.8 million
redemption premium that is included as an outflow in cash from operating activities.

Cash
used in
investing activities was
$800.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2014
, as compared to cash
used in
investing activities of
$1.87 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2013
,
a decrease
of
$1.07 billion
. The decrease in cash
used in
investing activities was principally the result of cash paid for acquisitions in 2013 totaling
$1.3 billion
primarily related to the Agila acquisition, as compared to
$50.0 million
in the current year. In 2014, payments for product rights and other investing activities, net, totaled
$429.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2014
, as compared to
$60.9 million
in the prior year period. The increase was the result of the acquisition of certain commercialization rights in the U.S. and other countries in the current year. Cash paid for acquisitions was
$50.0 million
in 2014. Capital expenditures, primarily for equipment and facilities, were approximately
$325.3 million
in the current year, as compared to
$334.6 million
in the comparable prior year. The
decrease
as compared to
2013
is the result of the timing of expenditures. While there can be no assurance that current expectations will be realized, we expect to continue to invest in our future growth and expect capital expenditures for
2015
to be between
$400 million
and
$500 million
. In addition, during 2013, restricted cash increased
$228.0 million
, principally related to amounts deposited in escrow, or other restricted accounts, for potential contingent consideration payments related to the
Agila
acquisition.
Cash
used in
financing activities was
$267.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2014
, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$692.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2013
, a net change of
$960.3 million
. During
2014
, the Company entered into a New Senior Term Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks which provided an
$800 million
2014 Term Loan. The proceeds of the 2014 Term Loan were used for working capital expenditures and to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s June 2013 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the June 2013 Credit Agreement were used to fund the redemption of the November 2018 Senior Notes.
During
2014
, net repayments under our Revolving Facility totaled
$60 million
. The Company repaid approximately
$107.8 million
of short-term borrowings under our Receivables Facility and the working capital facilities in India. The Company also paid
$150.0 million
of contingent consideration to Strides Arcolab related to the Agila acquisition during the third quarter of 2014.
During 2014, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. During 2013, the Company repurchased approximately
28.5 million
shares of common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately
$1.0 billion
.
The Company’s next significant debt maturity is in the third quarter of
2015
, and our current intention is to refinance either through future debt offerings or borrowings under the New Revolving Facility. In addition, our cash and cash equivalents at our foreign operations totaled
$110 million
at
December 31, 2014
. The majority of these funds represented earnings considered to be permanently reinvested to support the growth strategies of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company anticipates having sufficient U.S. liquidity, including existing borrowing capacity and cash to be generated from operations, to fund foreseeable U.S. cash needs without requiring the repatriation of foreign cash. If these funds are needed for the Company’s operations in the U.S., the Company may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.
As of
December 31, 2014
, because the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day in the
December 31, 2014
period was more than
130%
of the applicable conversion reference price of
$13.32
at
December 31, 2014
, the
$573.1 million
of Cash Convertible Notes were currently convertible. Although de minimis conversions have been requested, the Company’s experience is that convertible debentures are not normally converted by investors until close to their maturity date. Upon an investor’s election to convert, the Company is required to pay the full conversion value in cash. Should holders elect to convert, the Company intends to draw on its New Revolving Facility to fund any principal payments. The amount payable per
$1,000
notional bond would be calculated as the product of (1) the conversion reference rate (currently
75.0751
) and (2) the average Daily Volume Weighted Average Price per share of common stock for a specified period following the conversion date. Any payment above the principal amount is matched by a convertible note hedge.
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, we and
New Mylan
executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that, among other things, all relevant determinations for purposes of the cash conversion rights to which holders may be entitled from time-to-time in accordance with such indenture shall be made by reference to the
New Mylan
ordinary shares.
We are involved in various legal proceedings that are considered normal to our business. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, an adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could materially affect our financial position and results of operations, including our operating cash flow and could cause the market value of our stock to decline. We have approximately
$40 million
accrued for such legal contingencies. For certain contingencies assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of the former Merck Generics business, Merck KGaA, the seller, has indemnified Mylan. We have also been indemnified for certain contingencies by
Strides Arcolab
related to our acquisition of
Agila
. The inability or denial of
Merck KGaA,
Strides Arcolab
or another indemnitor or insurer to pay on an indemnified claim could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and could cause the market value of our stock to decline.
We are actively pursuing, and are currently involved in, joint projects related to the development, distribution and marketing of both generic and branded products. Many of these arrangements provide for payments by us upon the attainment of specified milestones. While these arrangements help to reduce the financial risk for unsuccessful projects, fulfillment of specified milestones or the occurrence of other obligations may result in fluctuations in cash flows.
We are continuously evaluating the potential acquisition of products, as well as companies, as a strategic part of our future growth. Consequently, we may utilize current cash reserves or incur additional indebtedness to finance any such acquisitions, which could impact future liquidity. In addition, on an ongoing basis, we review our operations including the evaluation of potential divestitures of products and businesses as part of our future strategy. Any divestitures could impact future liquidity.
At
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, we had
$43.7 million
and
$53.2 million
outstanding under existing letters of credit, respectively. Additionally, as of
December 31, 2014
, we had
$144.9 million
available under the
$150.0 million
subfacility on our New Revolving Facility for the issuance of letters of credit.
Mandatory minimum repayments remaining on the outstanding long term debt at
December 31, 2014
, excluding the discounts, premium and conversion features, are as follows for each of the periods ending December 31:

In December 2014, the Company entered into the
$1.5 billion
New Revolving Facility, which expires in
December 19, 2019
. The New Revolving Facility includes a
$150 million
subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit and a
$125 million
subfacility for swingline borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under the New Revolving Facility at
December 31, 2014
was LIBOR plus
1.325%
per annum. The New Revolving Facility has a facility fee which is
0.175%
. At
December 31, 2014
, the Company had
no
amounts outstanding under the New Revolving Facility. In December 2014, in connection with its entry into the New Revolving Facility, the Company terminated the June 2013 Credit Agreement.
The new Senior Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants for facilities of this type, including among others, covenants pertaining to the delivery of financial statements, notices of default and certain material events, maintenance of corporate existence and rights, business, property, and insurance and compliance with laws, as well as customary negative covenants for facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, liens, mergers and certain other fundamental changes, investments and loans, acquisitions, transactions with affiliates, payments of dividends and other restricted payments and changes in our lines of business. The new Senior Credit Agreement also contains a maximum consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant. We have been compliant with the financial covenant during 2014, and we expect to remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, our subsidiary, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“MPI”), sells certain accounts receivable to Mylan Securitization a wholly owned special purpose entity which in turn sells a percentage ownership interest in the receivables to financial institutions and commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions.
MPI
is the servicer of the receivables under the Receivables Facility. Purchases under the Receivables Facility will be repaid as accounts receivable are collected, with new purchases being advanced as new accounts receivable are originated by
MPI
.
Under the Company’s Receivables Facility, any amounts outstanding under the facility are recorded as a secured loan and included in short-term borrowings, and the receivables underlying any borrowings are included in accounts receivable, net, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. In January 2015, the Receivables Facility was amended and restated, and its maturity was extended through January 2018. At
December 31, 2014
, there were
$325 million
of short-term borrowings outstanding under
the Receivables Facility. The size of the Receivables Facility may be increased from time to time, upon request by Mylan Securitization and with the consent of the purchaser agents and the Agent, up to
$500 million
.
Short-term borrowings held by the Company’s subsidiaries in India at
December 31, 2014
totaled approximately
$6 million
and had a weighted average interest rate of
10.9%
. The borrowings represent working capital facilities and are secured by
Mylan India
’s current assets.
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is determined using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. Significant unobservable inputs in the valuation include the probability and timing of future development and commercial milestones and future profit sharing payments. A discounted cash flow method was used to value contingent consideration at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, which was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate of return at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
. Discount rates ranging from
0.8%
to
11.3%
were utilized in the valuation. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liability.

We lease certain property under various operating lease arrangements that expire generally over the next five years. These leases generally provide us with the option to renew the lease at the end of the lease term.
At
December 31, 2014
, the
$2.41 billion
of debt related to the Cash Convertible Notes reported in our financial statements consists of
$525 million
of debt (
$573 million
face amount, net of
$21 million
discount) and a liability with a fair value of
$1.85 billion
related to the bifurcated conversion feature. The bifurcated conversion feature is not included in contractual obligations as there is an offsetting hedge asset.
Scheduled interest payments represent the estimated interest payments related to our outstanding borrowings under term loans, notes and other debt. Variable debt interest payments are estimated using current interest rates.
Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future payments, if any, the following contingent payments have not been included in the table above.
In conjunction with the acquisition of
Agila
on
December 4, 2013
, the Company recorded estimated contingent consideration totaling
$250 million
as part of the purchase price. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with
Strides Arcolab
to settle a portion of the contingent consideration for
$150 million
, for which the Company accrued
$230 million
at the acquisition date. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized a gain of
$80 million
during the
year ended December 31, 2014
, which is included in other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. The remaining contingent consideration, which could total a maximum of
$211 million
, is primarily related to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions, including potential regulatory remediation costs and the resolution of certain pre-acquisition contingencies.
We are contractually obligated to make potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone, royalty and/or profit sharing payments in conjunction with collaborative agreements or acquisitions we have entered into with third parties. The most significant of these relates to the potential future consideration related to the respiratory delivery platform. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, we may be required to pay such amounts. The amount of the contingent consideration liability was
$470 million
at
December 31, 2014
. In addition, the Company expects to incur approximately
$35 million
to
$40 million
of annual non-cash accretion expense related to the increase in the net present value of the contingent consideration liability.
On
January 30, 2015
, the Company entered into a development and commercialization collaboration with Theravance Biopharma for the development and, subject to FDA approval, commercialization of a novel once-daily nebulized LAMA for COPD and other respiratory diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Mylan and Theravance Biopharm will co-develop the product. In the U.S., Mylan will lead commercialization and Theravance Biopharma will retain the right to co-promote the product under a profit-sharing arrangement. In addition to funding the U.S. registrational development program, Mylan will pay Theravance Biopharma an initial payment of
$15 million
in the second quarter of 2015 and made a
$30 million
equity investment in Theravance Biopharma. Under the terms of the agreement, Theravance Biopharma is eligible to receive potential development and sales milestone payments totaling
$220 million
in the aggregate.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Pfizer for the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize a novel long-acting muscarinic antagonist compound. As part of the agreement, the Company made an upfront development payment, which is included as a component of R&D expense in 2013, and could make additional payments upon the achievement of certain milestones as the Company’s development continues over the next several years. Depending on the commercialization of this novel compound and the level of future sales and profits, the Company could also be obligated to make payments upon the occurrence of certain sales milestones, along with sales royalties and profit sharing payments.
We have entered into an exclusive collaboration on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple, high value generic biologic compounds and three insulin analog products for the global marketplace. We plan to provide funding related to the collaboration over the next several years that could total approximately
$75 million
or more per year. Additionally, we have entered into product development agreements under which we have agreed to share in the development costs as they are incurred by our partners and/or pay milestones. As the timing of cash expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, it is difficult to forecast the amount of payments to be made over the next few years, which could be significant.
We periodically enter into licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies for the manufacture, marketing and/or sale of pharmaceutical products. These agreements generally call for us to pay a percentage of amounts earned from the sale of the product as a royalty on a profit share.
With respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits at
December 31, 2014
, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority. As such,
$191.2 million
of unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above.
We sponsor various defined benefit pension plans in several countries. Benefit formulas are based on varying criteria on a plan by plan basis. We fund non-domestic pension liabilities in accordance with laws and regulations applicable to those plans, which typically results in these plans being unfunded. The amount accrued related to these benefits was
$68.7 million
at
December 31, 2014
. We are unable to determine when these amounts will require payment as the timing of cash expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.
We have entered into employment and other agreements with certain executives and other employees that provide for compensation and certain other benefits. These agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. Certain commercial agreements require us to provide performance bonds and/or indemnification; while it is difficult to forecast the amount of payments, if any, to be made over the next few years, we do not believe the amount would be material to our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Impact of Currency Fluctuations and Inflation
Because our results are reported in U.S. Dollars, changes in the rate of exchange between the U.S. Dollar and the local currencies in the markets in which we operate, mainly the
Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Canadian
Dollar, Pound Sterling and Brazilian Real
affect our results as previously noted. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our revenues or operations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note
2
to Consolidated Financial Statements and are in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Included within these policies are certain policies which contain critical accounting estimates and, therefore, have been deemed to be “critical accounting policies.” Critical accounting estimates are those which require management to make assumptions about matters that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made and for which the use of different estimates, which reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We have identified the following to be our critical accounting policies: the determination of net revenue provisions, business acquisitions, intangible assets, goodwill and contingent consideration, income taxes and the impact of existing legal matters.
Net Revenue Provisions
Net revenues are recognized for product sales when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and when provisions for estimates, including discounts, sales allowances, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks and other promotional programs are reasonably determinable. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements as reductions in determining net revenues and in accounts receivable and other current liabilities. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating to these provisions, which were
$1.63 billion
and
$1.24 billion
at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. Other current liabilities include
$581.3 million
and
$281.1 million
at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, for certain sales allowances and other adjustments that are paid to indirect customers. The following is a rollforward of the most significant provisions for estimated sales allowances during
2014

We have not made and do not anticipate making any significant changes to the methodologies that we use to measure chargebacks, incentives offered to direct customers or returns; however, the balances within these reserves can fluctuate significantly through the consistent application of our methodologies. In the current year, accruals for incentives offered to direct customers increased as a result of an increase in related sales and overall higher rebate rates, mainly in response to the competitive environment in various markets. Historically, we have not recorded in any current period any material amounts related to adjustments made to prior period reserves.
Provisions for estimated discounts, sales allowances, promotional and other credits require a lower degree of subjectivity and are less complex in nature, yet, when combined, represent a significant portion of the overall provisions. These provisions are estimated based on historical payment experience, historical relationships to revenues, estimated customer inventory levels and contract terms. Such provisions are determinable due to the limited number of assumptions and consistency of historical experience. Others, such as chargebacks and returns, require management to make more subjective judgments and evaluate current market conditions. These provisions are discussed in further detail below.
Chargebacks
— The provision for chargebacks is the most significant and complex estimate used in the recognition of revenue.
Mylan
markets products directly to wholesalers, distributors, retail pharmacy chains, mail order pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. We also market products indirectly to independent pharmacies, managed care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes and pharmacy benefit management companies, collectively referred to as “indirect customers.”
Mylan
enters into agreements with its indirect customers to establish contract pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these contracted prices. Alternatively, certain wholesalers may enter into agreements with indirect customers that establish contract pricing for certain products, which the
wholesalers provide. Under either arrangement,
Mylan
will provide credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect party and the wholesaler’s invoice price. Such credit is called a chargeback, while the difference between the contracted price and the wholesaler’s invoice price is referred to as the chargeback rate. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our wholesaler customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels. For the latter, in most cases, inventory levels are obtained directly from certain of our largest wholesalers. Additionally, internal estimates are prepared based upon historical buying patterns and estimated end-user demand. Such information allows us to estimate the potential chargeback that we may ultimately owe to our customers given the quantity of inventory on hand. We continually monitor our provision for chargebacks and evaluate our reserve and estimates as additional information becomes available. A change of
5%
in the estimated sell-through levels by our wholesaler customers and in the estimated wholesaler inventory levels would have an effect on our reserve balance of approximately
$34 million
.
Returns
— Consistent with industry practice, we maintain a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period prior to and subsequent to the expiration date. Although application of the policy varies from country to country in accordance with local practices, generally, product may be returned for a period beginning six months prior to its expiration date to up to one year after its expiration date. The majority of our product returns occur as a result of product dating, which falls within the range set by our policy, and are settled through the issuance of a credit to our customer. Although the introduction of additional generic competition does not give our customers the right to return product outside of our established policy, we do recognize that such competition could ultimately lead to increased returns. We analyze this on a case-by-case basis, when significant, and make adjustments to increase our reserve for product returns as necessary. Our estimate of the provision for returns is based upon our historical experience with actual returns, which is applied to the level of sales for the period that corresponds to the period during which our customers may return product. This period is known by us based on the shelf lives of our products at the time of shipment. Additionally, we consider factors such as levels of inventory in the distribution channel, product dating and expiration period, size and maturity of the market prior to a product launch, entrance into the market of additional generic competition, changes in formularies or launch of over-the-counter products, and make adjustments to the provision for returns in the event that it appears that actual product returns may differ from our established reserves. We obtain data with respect to the level of inventory in the channel directly from certain of our largest customers. A change of
5%
in the estimated product return rate used in our calculation of our return reserve would have an effect on our reserve balance of approximately
$12 million
.
Business Acquisitions, Intangible Assets, Goodwill and Contingent Consideration
We account for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective estimated fair values. The cost to acquire businesses has been allocated to the underlying net assets of the acquired businesses based on estimates of their respective fair values. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are capitalized at the date of an acquisition and, at that time, such IPR&D assets have indefinite lives. As products in development are approved for sale, amounts will be allocated to product rights and licenses and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact our results of operations. Fair values and useful lives are determined based on, among other factors, the expected future period of benefit of the asset, the various characteristics of the asset and projected cash flows. Because this process involves management making estimates with respect to future sales volumes, pricing, new product launches, government reform actions, anticipated cost environment and overall market conditions, and because these estimates form the basis for the determination of whether or not an impairment charge should be recorded, these estimates are considered to be critical accounting estimates.
We record contingent consideration resulting from a business acquisition at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date. Each reporting period thereafter, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value as an adjustment to contingent consideration expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to the discount rates, payment periods and adjustments in the probability of achieving future development steps, regulatory approvals, market launches, sales targets and profitability. These fair value measurements represent Level 3 measurements as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Significant judgment is employed in determining the assumptions utilized as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent measurement period. Accordingly, changes in assumptions described above, could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations.
Goodwill and intangible assets, including IPR&D, are reviewed for impairment annually and/or when events or other changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles is determined to exist when the fair value is less than the carrying value of the net assets being tested. Impairment of definite-lived intangibles is determined to exist when undiscounted cash flows related to the assets are less than the carrying value of the assets being tested. Future events and decisions may lead to asset impairment and/or related costs.
Goodwill is allocated and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.
Mylan
has four reporting units, of which three are included in the Generics segment with the remaining reporting unit consisting of our Specialty segment. As of the date of our most recent annual impairment test,
April 1, 2014
, approximately
91%
of Mylan’s total goodwill is allocated to the three reporting units within the Generics segment as follows: North America (
$764.3 million
), Europe (
$1.22 billion
) and Rest of World (
$1.98 billion
), with
$349.1 million
allocated to our Specialty segment and reporting unit.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, we have performed our annual impairment test as of
April 1, 2014
utilizing the two-step goodwill impairment analysis referred to as “Step 1” and, if necessary, “Step 2”. Step 1 of the impairment analysis consists of a comparison of the estimated fair value of the individual reporting units with their carrying amount, including goodwill. In estimating each reporting unit’s fair value, we performed extensive valuation analysis, utilizing both income and market-based approaches, in our goodwill assessment process. We utilized an average of the two methods in estimating the fair value of the individual reporting units, except for the Specialty reporting unit. For the reporting units in which we utilized an average of the income and market-based approaches, the averaging of the two valuation methods did not significantly impact the estimated fair value of the reporting units. Given the variability in expectations for the Specialty reporting unit’s product portfolio, an income based approach was utilized. The following describes the valuation methodologies used to derive the estimated fair value of the reporting units.
Income Approach
: Under this approach, to determine fair value, we discounted the expected future cash flows of each reporting unit. We used a discount rate, which reflected the overall level of inherent risk and the rate of return an outside investor would have expected to earn. To estimate cash flows beyond the final year of our model, we used a terminal value approach. Under this approach, we used estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in the final year of our model, adjusted to estimate a normalized cash flow, applied a perpetuity growth assumption, and discounted by a perpetuity discount factor to determine the terminal value. We incorporated the present value of the resulting terminal value into our estimate of fair value.
Market-Based Approach
: The Company also utilizes a market-based approach to estimate fair value, principally utilizing the guideline company method which focuses on comparing our risk profile and growth prospects to a select group of publicly traded companies with reasonably similar guidelines.
The Company performed its annual impairment test as of
April 1, 2014
, and the estimated fair value of the
four
reporting units, described above, were in excess of the respective carrying values of each reporting unit. For the North America reporting unit, the estimated fair value of this business exceeded its carrying value by
over
100%
. As it relates to the income approach for the North America reporting unit at
April 1, 2014
, we forecasted cash flows for the next
ten
years. During the forecast period, the revenue compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) was approximately
10%
. A terminal value year was calculated with a
3%
revenue growth rate applied. The CAGR in EBITDA margins was approximately
2%
. The discount rate utilized was
8.5%
. Under the market-based approach, we utilized an estimated range of market multiples of
10.5
to
13.0
times EBITDA plus a control premium of
15%
.
As it relates to the income approach for the Europe reporting unit at
April 1, 2014
, we forecasted cash flows for the next
ten
years. During the forecast period, the revenue CAGR was approximately
6%
. A terminal value year was calculated with a
3%
revenue growth rate applied. The CAGR in EBITDA margins was approximately
8%
. The discount rate utilized was
9.0%
. Under the market-based approach, we utilized an estimated range of market multiples of
10.0
to
12.0
times EBITDA plus a control premium of
15%
. The estimated fair value of the Europe reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately
18%
.
For Rest of World reporting unit, the estimated fair value of this business exceeded its carrying value by approximately
20%
as of
April 1, 2014
. As it relates to the income approach for Rest of World reporting unit, we forecasted cash flows for the next
ten
years. During the forecast period, the revenue CAGR was approximately
11%
. A terminal value year was calculated with a
4%
revenue growth rate applied. The CAGR in EBITDA margins was approximately
7%
over the period of estimated cash flows. The discount rate utilized was
11.5%
. Under the market-based approach, we utilized an estimated range of market multiples of
9.5
to
12.5
times EBITDA plus a control premium of
15%
.
For the Specialty reporting unit, the estimated fair value of this business exceeded its carrying value by
over
100%
as of
April 1, 2014
. As it relates to the income approach for the Specialty reporting unit, we forecasted cash flows for the next
ten
years. During the forecast period, the revenue CAGR was a decline of approximately
3%
. A terminal value year was calculated with a
3%
revenue growth rate applied. EBITDA margins remained relatively stable at approximately
53%
over the period of estimated cash flows. The discount rate utilized was
13.0%
. Due to the variability in expectations for the Specialty reporting unit’s product portfolio, primarily related to forecasted sales of the
EpiPen® Auto-Injector
and the potential generic competition, a market-based approach was not utilized for this reporting unit. The determination of the fair value of the reporting units requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting unit’s expected future cash flows. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, market multiples, control premiums, the discount rate, terminal growth rates, operating income before depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures forecasts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, changes in underlying assumptions, especially as it relates to the key assumptions detailed, could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting units.
In the event the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, additional analysis would be required. The additional analysis would compare the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value amounts assigned to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit represented the purchase price. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to such excess would be recognized, which would likely materially impact the Company’s reported results of operations.
We have also assessed the recoverability of certain long-lived assets contained within the reporting units. Any impairment of these assets must be considered prior to our impairment review of goodwill. The assessment for impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets by analyzing the expected future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows specific to the asset grouping.
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable undiscounted cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. For Rest of World and Europe reporting units, this assessment is generally performed at the country level within the reporting units. If these undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of long-lived assets within the asset group, an impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the recoverability of these assets and is dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions used in making these estimates, as well as how the estimates compare to the eventual future operating performance of the specific asset grouping. The Company’s Australia operation in Rest of World reporting unit and certain asset groupings in the Europe reporting unit, principally Portugal, Belgium and Germany, remain at risk for potential impairment charges if the projected operating results are not achieved. Any future long-lived assets impairment charges would likely materially impact the Company’s reported results of operations.
Income Taxes
We compute our income taxes based on the statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to
Mylan
in the various jurisdictions in which we generate income. Significant judgment is required in determining our income taxes and in evaluating our tax positions. We establish reserves in accordance with
Mylan
’s policy regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Our policy provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position be recognized in
Mylan
’s financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, based on the technical merits of the position. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the settlement of a tax audit. Our provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves. Favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to our provision for income taxes in the period of resolution.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred in certain taxing jurisdictions over the three-year period ended
December 31, 2014
. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth.
Based on this evaluation, as of
December 31, 2014
, a valuation allowance of
$304.5 million
has been recorded in order to measure only the portion of the deferred tax asset that more likely than not will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period
are reduced or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.
The resolution of tax reserves and changes in valuation allowances could be material to Mylan’s results of operations or financial condition. A variance of
5%
between estimated reserves and valuation allowances and actual resolution and realization of these tax items would have an effect on our reserve balance and valuation allowance of approximately
$25 million
.
Legal Matters
Mylan is involved in various legal proceedings, some of which involve claims for substantial amounts. An estimate is made to accrue for a loss contingency relating to any of these legal proceedings if it is probable that a liability was incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the subjective nature inherent in assessing the outcome of litigation and because of the potential that an adverse outcome in a legal proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price, such estimates are considered to be critical accounting estimates.
A variance of
5%
between estimated and recorded litigation reserves (excluding indemnified claims) and actual resolution of certain legal matters would have an effect on our litigation reserve balance of approximately
$2 million
.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance on revenue recognition that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and can be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A significant portion of our revenues and earnings are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to manage this foreign exchange risk in part through operational means, including managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency costs and same currency assets in relation to same currency liabilities.
Foreign exchange risk is also managed through the use of foreign currency forward-exchange contracts. These contracts are used to offset the potential earnings effects from mostly intercompany foreign currency assets and liabilities that arise from operations and from intercompany loans.
Mylan
’s primary areas of foreign exchange risk relative to the U.S. Dollar are the
Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Pound Sterling and Brazilian Real
.
Our financial instrument holdings at year end were analyzed to determine their sensitivity to foreign exchange rate changes. The fair values of these instruments were determined as follows:
|
|
•
|
foreign currency forward-exchange contracts — net present values
|
|
|
•
|
foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, debt and loans — changes in exchange rates
|
In this sensitivity analysis, we assumed that the change in one currency’s rate relative to the U.S. Dollar would not have an effect on other currencies’ rates relative to the U.S. Dollar. All other factors were held constant.
If there were an adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates of
10%
, the expected net effect on net income related to
Mylan
’s foreign currency denominated financial instruments would
not be material
.
Interest Rate and Long-Term Debt Risk
Mylan
’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from our U.S. Dollar borrowings and investments. We invest primarily on a variable-rate basis and we borrow on both a fixed and variable basis. In order to maintain a certain ratio of fixed to variable rate debt, from time to time, depending on market conditions,
Mylan
will use derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to fix interest rates on variable-rate borrowings or to convert fixed-rate borrowings to variable interest rates.
As of
December 31, 2014
,
Mylan
’s long-term borrowings consist principally of
$573.0 million
notional value in Cash Convertible Notes and
$5.70 billion
in Senior Notes, the 2014 Term Loan and the New Revolving Facility.
Generally, the fair value of fixed interest rate debt will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, the fair value of the Cash Convertible Notes fluctuated as the market value of our common stock fluctuates. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, we and
New Mylan
executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that the fair value of the Cash Convertible Notes fluctuate as the market value of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares fluctuates. As of
December 31, 2014
, the fair value of our Senior Notes was approximately
$5.03 billion
and the fair value of our Cash Convertible Notes was approximately
$2.42 billion
. A
100
basis point change in interest rates on
Mylan
’s variable rate debt, net of interest rate swaps, would result in a change in interest expense of approximately
$19 million
per year.
Investments
In addition to available-for-sale securities, investments are made in overnight deposits, highly rated money market funds and marketable securities with maturities of less than three months. These instruments are classified as cash equivalents for financial reporting purposes and have minimal or no interest rate risk due to their short-term nature.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of Mylan Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(
2013
)
, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As a result of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2014
based on the criteria in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (
2013
)
issued by COSO.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting appears on page
81
of this Form 10-K.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mylan Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mylan Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2014
. Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mylan Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2014
, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such consolidated financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2014
, based on the criteria established in

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Mylan Inc.:
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Mylan Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2014
, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (
2013
)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2014
, based on the criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (
2013
)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2014
of the Company and our report dated
March 2, 2015
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule.

Mylan Inc.
and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion relates to
Mylan Inc.
prior to the consummation of the Transaction, defined below, on
February 27, 2015
.
Mylan Inc.
and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “
Mylan
,” “our” or “we”) are engaged in the global development, licensing, manufacture, marketing and distribution of generic, brand and branded generic pharmaceutical products for resale by others and active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) through
two
segments, “Generics” and “Specialty.” The principal markets for Generics are proprietary and ethical pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, group purchasing organizations, drug store chains, independent pharmacies, drug manufacturers, institutions, and public and governmental agencies primarily within the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada (collectively, “North America”); Europe; and India, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Brazil (collectively, “Rest of World”). Generics also focuses on developing API with non-infringing processes for both internal use and to partner with manufacturers in regulated markets such as the U.S. and the European Union (the “EU”) at market formation. The principal market for Specialty is pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, pharmacies and health care institutions primarily in the U.S.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Principles of Consolidation.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of
Mylan
and those of its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in equity method affiliates are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of the affiliates’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions and distributions. Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s subsidiaries are recorded net of tax as net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified from selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense to other operating (income) expense, net to conform to the presentation for the current year. The reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported net earnings attributable to Mylan Inc. common shareholders.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because of the uncertainty inherent in such estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currencies.
The
Consolidated Financial Statements
are presented in U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency of
Mylan
. Statements of Operations and Cash Flows of all of the Company’s subsidiaries that have functional currencies other than U.S. Dollars are translated at a weighted average exchange rate for the period for inclusion in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows, whereas assets and liabilities are translated at the end of the period exchange rates for inclusion in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Translation differences are recorded directly in shareholders’ equity as foreign currency translation adjustments. Gains or losses on transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency, which arise as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, are recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Marketable Securities.
Marketable equity and debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ equity. Net realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are computed on a specific security basis and are included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Marketable equity and debt securities classified as trading securities are valued at the quoted market price from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of interest-bearing investments, derivatives and accounts receivable.
Mylan
invests its excess cash in high-quality, liquid money market instruments, principally overnight deposits and highly rated money market funds. The Company maintains deposit balances at certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured amounts. Periodically, the Company reviews the creditworthiness of its counterparties to derivative transactions, and it does not expect to incur a loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under agreements it has with such counterparties.
Mylan
performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Approximately
53%
and
41%
of the accounts receivable balances represent amounts due from
three
customers at
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively. Total allowances for doubtful accounts were
$25.7 million
and
$24.6 million
at
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively.
Inventories.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost principally determined by the first-in, first-out method. Provisions for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory, including pre-launch inventory, are made based on our analysis of inventory levels, historical obsolescence and future sales forecasts.
Property, Plant and Equipment.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed and recorded on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated service lives (
three
to
18
years for machinery and equipment and other fixed assets and
15
to
39
years for buildings and improvements). Capitalized software is included in property, plant and equipment and is amortized over a period of
three
years. Capitalized software costs included on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets
were
$116.3 million
and
$106.1 million
, net of depreciation, at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of assets and makes adjustments when appropriate. Depreciation expense was approximately
$172.8 million
,
$152.3 million
and
$160.2 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill.
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
five
to
20
years. The Company periodically reviews the original estimated useful lives of intangible assets and makes adjustments when events indicate that a shorter life is appropriate.
The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the purchase method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The cost to acquire a business is allocated to the underlying net assets of the acquired business in proportion to their respective fair values. Amounts allocated to acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) are capitalized at the date of an acquisition and, at the time, such IPR&D assets have indefinite lives. As products in development are approved for sale, amounts will be allocated to product rights and licenses and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the expected life of the asset. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable based on management's assessment of the fair value of the Company's reporting units as compared to their related carrying value. Under the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), we have the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The first step, identifying a potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the second step would need to be performed; otherwise, no further step is required. The second step, measuring the impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of the goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Any excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the applied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss, and the carrying value of goodwill is written down to fair value.
The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations. Fair values and useful lives are determined based on, among other factors, the expected future period of benefit of the asset, the various characteristics of the asset and projected cash flows.
Contingent Consideration.
Mylan
records contingent consideration resulting from a business acquisition at its fair value on the acquisition date. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases in their fair value as a charge (credit) to other operating (income) expense, net within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to the discount rates, payment periods and adjustments in the probability of achieving future development steps, regulatory approvals, market launches, sales targets and profitability. These fair value measurements represent Level 3 measurements, as they are based on significant inputs not observable in the market.
Significant judgment is employed in determining the assumptions utilized as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent measurement period. Accordingly, changes in the assumptions described above could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
The carrying values of long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, are evaluated periodically in relation to the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets and monitored for other potential triggering events. Adjustments are made in the event that estimated undiscounted net cash flows are less than the carrying value.
Indefinite-lived intangibles, principally IPR&D, are tested at least annually for impairment or upon the occurrence of a triggering event. The impairment test for IPR&D consists of a comparison of the asset’s fair value with its carrying value. Impairment is determined to exist when the fair value is less than the carrying value of the assets being tested.
Short-Term Borrowings.
The Company’s subsidiaries in India have working capital facilities with several banks which are secured by its current assets. The working capital facilities have a weighted average interest rate of
10.9%
at
December 31, 2014
.
Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
(“
MPI
”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, also has a
$400 million
accounts receivable facility (“Receivables Facility”), which will expire in January 2018. Included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
at
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, respectively, are
$325 million
and
$374 million
of short-term borrowings, which are recorded as a secured loan. The receivables underlying any borrowings are included in accounts receivable, net, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. There were
$1.07 billion
and
$723.1 million
of securitized accounts receivable at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
Revenue Recognition.
Mylan
recognizes net revenue for product sales when title and risk of loss pass to its customers and when provisions for estimates, including discounts, sales allowances, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks and other promotional programs, are reasonably determinable. The following briefly describes the nature of each provision and how such provisions are estimated.
Discounts are reductions to invoiced amounts offered to customers for payment within a specified period and are estimated upon sale utilizing historical customer payment experience.
Volume-based sales allowances are offered to key customers to promote customer loyalty and encourage greater product sales. These programs provide that upon the attainment of pre-established volumes or the attainment of revenue milestones for a specified period, the customer receives credit against purchases. Other promotional programs are incentive programs periodically offered to our customers. The Company is able to estimate provisions for volume-based sales allowances and other promotional programs based on the specific terms in each agreement at the time of sale.
Consistent with industry practice,
Mylan
maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period prior and subsequent to the expiration date. The Company’s estimate of the provision for returns is generally based upon historical experience with actual returns.
Price adjustments, which include shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued to reflect decreases in the selling prices of products. Shelf stock adjustments are based upon the amount of product which the customer has remaining in its inventory at the time of the price reduction. Decreases in selling prices are discretionary decisions made by the Company to reflect market conditions. Amounts recorded for estimated price adjustments are based upon specified terms with direct customers, estimated launch dates of competing products, estimated declines in market price and, in the case of shelf stock adjustments, estimates of inventory held by the customer.
The Company has agreements with certain indirect customers, such as independent pharmacies, managed care organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, governmental agencies and pharmacy benefit management companies, which establish
contract prices for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these contracted prices. Alternatively, certain wholesalers may enter into agreements with indirect customers that establish contract pricing for certain products, which the wholesalers provide. Under either arrangement,
Mylan
will provide credit to the wholesaler for any difference between the contracted price with the indirect party and the wholesaler’s invoice price. Such credits are called chargebacks. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our wholesaler customers to indirect customers, as well as estimated wholesaler inventory levels.
Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating to the above provisions. No significant revisions were made to the methodology used in determining these provisions during the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2013
. Such allowances were
$1.63 billion
and
$1.24 billion
at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. Other current liabilities included
$581.3 million
and
$281.1 million
at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively, for certain sales allowances and other adjustments that are paid to indirect customers.
Royalty or profit share revenue from licensees, which are based on third-party sales of licensed products and technology, is recorded in accordance with the contract terms, when third-party sales can be reliably measured and collection of the funds is reasonably assured. Royalty revenue is included in other revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company recognizes contract manufacturing and other service revenue when the service is performed or when the Company’s partners take ownership and title has passed, collectability is reasonably assured, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement.

Research and Development.
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
Income Taxes.
Income taxes have been provided for using an asset and liability approach in which deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of events that the Company has already recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Changes in enacted tax rates or laws may result in adjustments to the recorded tax assets or liabilities in the period that the new tax law is enacted.
Earnings per Common Share.
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to
Mylan Inc.
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to
Mylan Inc.
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive securities or instruments, if the impact is dilutive.
On September 15, 2008, concurrent with the sale of
$575 million
aggregate principal amount of Cash Convertible Notes due 2015 (the “Cash Convertible Notes”),
Mylan
entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain counterparties. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the terms of the convertible note hedge were adjusted so that the cash settlement value will be based on
New Mylan
ordinary shares. The terms of the warrant transactions were also adjusted so that, from and after the consummation of the Transaction, we may settle the obligations under the warrant transaction by delivering
New Mylan
ordinary shares. Pursuant to the warrant transactions, as adjusted, the Company has sold to the counterparties warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to approximately
43.2 million
shares of
New Mylan
ordinary shares, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, which under most circumstances represents the maximum number of shares to which the Cash Convertible Notes relate (based on the conversion reference rate at the time of issuance). The sold warrants had an exercise price of
$20.00
and will be net share settled, meaning that
Mylan
will issue a number of shares per warrant corresponding to the difference between its share price at each warrant expiration date and the exercise price. The warrants meet the definition of derivatives under the guidance in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815
Derivatives and Hedging
(“ASC 815”); however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own
stock and meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40
Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(“ASC 815-40”), the warrants have been recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In September 2011, the Company entered into amendments with the counterparties to exchange the original warrants with exercise price of
$20.00
(the “Old Warrants”) for new warrants with exercise price of
$30.00
(the “New Warrants”). Approximately
41.0 million
Old Warrants were exchanged for New Warrants. All other terms and settlement provisions of the Old Warrants remain unchanged in the New Warrants. The New Warrants meet the definition of derivatives under the guidance in ASC 815; however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40, the New Warrants have also been recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The dilutive impact of the Old and New Warrants are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share based upon the average market value of the Company’s common stock during the period as compared to the exercise price. For the
year ended December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
,
17.7 million
,
5.1 million
and
0.3 million
, respectively, warrants were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, as discussed in Note 3, the terms of the convertible note hedge were adjusted so that the settlement value will be based on
New Mylan
ordinary shares. The terms of the warrant transactions were also adjusted so that, from and after the consummation of the Transaction, we may settle the obligations under the warrant transaction by delivering
New Mylan
ordinary shares.
The Board of Directors periodically authorizes the Company to repurchase common stock in the open market or through other methods. The Company repurchased approximately
28.5 million
common shares at a cost of approximately
$1.0 billion
in
2013
and approximately
41.4 million
common shares at a cost of approximately
$1.0 billion
in
2012
. These amounts reflect transactions executed through
December 31
st of each year. Basic and diluted earnings per common share attributable to
Mylan Inc.
are calculated as follows:

and
4.8 million
shares for the years ended
December 31, 2014
,

Stock-Based Compensation.
The fair value of stock-based compensation is recognized as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the vesting period.
Derivatives.
From time to time the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments (mainly foreign currency exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and purchased equity call options) designed to: 1) hedge the cash flows resulting from existing assets and liabilities and transactions expected to be entered into over the next twenty-four months in currencies other than the functional currency, 2) hedge the variability in interest expense on floating rate debt, 3) hedge the fair value of fixed-rate notes, 4) hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact future debt issuances, or 5) hedge cash or share payments required on conversion of issued convertible notes. Derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
at their fair value. When the derivative instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value are included in earnings or deferred through other comprehensive earnings depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset. If a derivative instrument qualifies as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value, as well as the offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items, are included in interest expense. When such instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting the changes in fair value are recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
within
other expense (income), net
.
Financial Instruments.
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of short-term and long-term debt, interest rate swaps, forward contracts, and option contracts. The Company’s financial instruments also include cash and cash equivalents as well as accounts and other receivables and accounts payable, the fair values of which approximate their carrying values. As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions.
The Company uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging foreign currency and interest rate exposures, which exist as part of ongoing business operations or to hedge cash or share payments required on conversion of issued convertible notes. The Company carries derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value, determined by reference to market data such as forward rates for currencies, implied volatilities, and interest rate swap yield curves. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so, the reason for holding it.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued revised accounting guidance on revenue recognition that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principal of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years and can be applied using a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

’s non-U.S. developed markets specialty and branded generics business (the “Business”) in an all-stock transaction. On
November 4, 2014
, the Company and
Abbott
entered into an amended and restated definitive agreement implementing the transaction (the “Transaction Agreement”). The transaction, defined below, closed on
February 27, 2015
, after receiving approval from Mylan’s shareholders on
January 29, 2015
. At closing,
Abbott
transferred the Business to
Mylan N.V.
, (“
New Mylan
”) in exchange for
110 million
ordinary shares of
New Mylan
. Immediately after the transfer of the Business,
Mylan
merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of
New Mylan
, (together with the transfer of the Business, the “Transaction”) with
Mylan
becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of
New Mylan
.
Mylan
’s outstanding common stock was exchanged on a
one
to
one
basis for
New Mylan
ordinary shares. As a result of the Transaction,
New Mylan
’s corporate seat is located in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
, and its principal executive offices are located in
Potters Bar, United Kingdom
.
New Mylan
will also have global centers of excellence in the U.S., Europe and India.
The Business includes
more than
100
specialty and branded generic pharmaceutical products in
five
major therapeutic areas and includes several patent protected, novel and/or hard-to-manufacture products. As a result of the acquisition,
Mylan N.V.
has significantly expanded and strengthened its product portfolio in Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The purchase price of the Transaction, which was on a debt-free basis, was
$6.31 billion
base
d on the closing price of
Mylan
stock as of the Transaction closing date, as reported by the NASDAQ Stock Market
. As a result of the Transaction,
Mylan
shareholders own approximately
78%
of
New Mylan
and
Abbott
’s affiliates own approximately
22%
of
New Mylan
.
New Mylan
and
Abbott
entered into a shareholder agreement in connection with the Transaction.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP,
New Mylan
will use the purchase method of accounting to account for this Transaction with
Mylan
being treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Transaction will be recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Approximately
$50 million
of expenses were incurred during the
year ended
December 31, 2014
that related to this acquisition.
Due to the limited time since the acquisition date and limitations on access to
Abbott
’s financial information prior to the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete at March 2, 2015. As a result, the Company was unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired and resulting from the Transaction, including information related to contingencies and goodwill. The Company anticipates that the majority of the goodwill will be assigned to the Generics segment and does not currently expect the goodwill recognized to be deductible for income tax purposes. Also, because the initial accounting for the Transaction is incomplete, the Company was unable to provide the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity.
Mylan N.V.
will include this information in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Agila Specialties
On
February 27, 2013
, the Company announced that it had signed definitive agreements to acquire the
Agila Specialties
businesses (“
Agila
”), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of high-quality generic injectable products, from
Strides Arcolab Limited
(“
Strides Arcolab
”). The transaction closed on
December 4, 2013
, and the total purchase price was approximately
$1.43 billion
(net of cash acquired of
$3.4 million
), which included estimated contingent consideration of
$250 million
. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with
Strides Arcolab
to settle a portion of the contingent consideration for
$150 million
, for which the Company accrued
$230 million
at the acquisition date. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized a gain of
$80 million
during the
year ended December 31, 2014
, which is included in other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. The remaining contingent consideration, which could total a maximum of
$211 million
, is primarily related to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions, including potential regulatory remediation costs and the resolution of certain pre-acquisition contingencies. The acquisition of
Agila
significantly expanded and strengthened
Mylan
injectables platform and portfolio, and also provided
Mylan
entry into certain new geographic markets.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company used the purchase method of accounting to account for this transaction. Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the acquisition date. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, adjustments were made to the preliminary amounts recorded at December 31, 2013 primarily related to working capital and deferred taxes. These adjustments are reflected in the values presented below and in the updated December 31, 2013

The amount allocated to IPR&D represents an estimate of the fair value of purchased in-process technology for research projects that, as of the closing date of the acquisition, had not reached technological feasibility and had no alternative future use. The fair value of the IPR&D was based on the excess earnings method, which utilizes forecasts of expected cash inflows (including estimates for ongoing costs) and other contributory charges. A discount rate of
13.0%
was utilized to discount net cash inflows to present values. IPR&D is accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and will be subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion and launch of each product, the Company will make a determination of the estimated useful life of the individual IPR&D asset. The acquired IPR&D projects are in various stages of completion and the estimated costs to complete these projects total approximately
$30 million
which is expected to be incurred through 2015. There are risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and
successful completion of the projects included in IPR&D, and no assurances can be given that the underlying assumptions used to estimate the fair value of IPR&D will not change or the timely completion of each project to commercial success will occur.
The identified intangible assets of
$280 million
are comprised of
$221 million
of product rights and licenses that have a weighted average useful life of
eight
years and
$59 million
of customer relationships that have a weighted average useful life of
five years
. The equity method investment of
$125 million
represents the fair value of
Agila
’s
50%
interest in
Sagent Agila LLC
(“
Sagent Agila
”). Payments for product rights and other, net on the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
for the
year ended December 31, 2014
, includes payments totaling
$120 million
to acquire certain commercialization rights in the U.S. and other countries. The goodwill of
$937 million
arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the value of the employee workforce and the value of products to be developed in the future. All of the goodwill was assigned to
Mylan
’s Generics segment. At the date of the acquisition, the Company estimated that none of the goodwill recognized would be deductible for income tax purposes. As a result of a legal merger of the Indian subsidiaries of Agila with
Mylan Laboratories Limited
, which was approved by the relevant Indian regulatory authorities during the third quarter of 2014, approximately
$711 million
of goodwill related to the acquisition of
Agila
will be deductible for tax purposes, refer to Note
9
Income Taxes
for additional information.
Significant assumptions utilized in the valuation of identified intangible assets, the equity method investment and IPR&D were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by U.S. GAAP.
Approximately
$49.8 million
of expenses were incurred during the
year ended
December 31, 2013
that related to this acquisition.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Results
The following table presents supplemental unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition of
Agila
had occurred on
January 1, 2012
. The unaudited pro forma results reflect certain adjustments related to past operating performance and acquisition accounting adjustments, such as increased amortization expense based on the fair valuation of assets acquired, the impact of acquisition financing, transaction costs and the related income tax effects. The unaudited pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies which may be achievable subsequent to the acquisition date. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on
January 1, 2012
, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the combined company.

Amortization expense, which is classified primarily within cost of sales in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
, for the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
was
$393.8 million
,
$363.7 million
and
$386.4 million
, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
includes intangible asset impairment charges of
$27.7 million
,
$18.0 million
and
$41.6 million
, respectively. Excluding the impact of the Transaction, amortization expense is
expected to be approximately
$363 million
,
$281 million
,
$239 million
,
$195 million
and
$132 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2015
through
2019
, respectively.
Indefinite-lived intangibles, such as the Company’s IPR&D assets, are tested at least annually for impairment, but they may be tested whenever certain impairment indicators are present. Impairment is determined to exist when the fair value is less than the carrying value of the assets being tested.
The Company performed its annual impairment review of certain IPR&D assets during the third quarter of 2014. This review of IPR&D assets principally relates to assets acquired as part of the Agila acquisition in December 2013, the respiratory delivery platform acquisition in December 2011 and the Bioniche Pharma acquisition in September 2010. During the year ended
December 31, 2014
, the Company recorded
$17.7 million
of impairment charges related to the Agila IPR&D assets, which was recorded as a component of amortization expense. For the
year ended December 31, 2013
, the Company recorded
$18.0 million
of impairment charges related to the Bioniche Pharma IPR&D assets, which was recorded as a component of amortization expense. These impairment charges resulted from the Company’s estimate of the fair value of these assets, which was based upon updated forecasts and commercial development plans, compared with the assigned fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value was determined based upon detailed valuations employing the income approach which utilized Level 3 inputs, as defined in Note
6
. The fair value of IPR&D was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate of return. The assumptions inherent in the estimated future cash flows include, among other things, the impact of changes to the development programs, the projected development and regulatory time frames and the current competitive environment. Discount rates ranging between
10%
and
12%
were utilized in the valuations performed during the third quarter of 2014. A discount rate of approximately
10%
was utilized in each valuation during the third quarter of 2013. Changes to any of the Company’s assumptions may result in a further reduction to the estimated fair value of the IPR&D asset. During the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, approximately
$60.3 million
and
$6.5 million
, respectively, was reclassified from acquired IPR&D to product rights and licenses.
In addition, the Company monitors long-lived intangible assets for potential triggering events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. During the year ended
December 31, 2014
, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately
$10.0 million
related to product rights and licenses, which was recorded as a component of amortization expense.
Also during the year ended
December 31, 2014
, the Company made cash payments of approximately
$383 million
for products rights and licenses, of which approximately
$120 million
related to the Company’s purchase of certain commercialization rights in the U.S. and other countries related to the Agila acquisition and approximately
$263 million
related to the Company’s purchase of the U.S. commercialization, marketing and intellectual property rights of Arixtra and the authorized generic rights of Arixtra.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management
|
Mylan
is exposed to certain financial risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary financial risks that are managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and equity risk.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
In order to manage foreign currency risk,
Mylan
enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate risk associated with changes in spot exchange rates of mainly non-functional currency denominated assets or liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. Any gains or losses on the foreign exchange forward contracts are recognized in earnings in the period incurred in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company has also entered into forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency denominated sales from certain international subsidiaries. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges to manage foreign currency transaction risk and are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. Any changes in fair value are included in earnings or deferred through accumulated other comprehensive earnings (“AOCE”), depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed- and floating-rate debt. These derivative instruments are measured at fair value and reported as current assets or current liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
.
The Company’s interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges fix the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate debt or hedge part of the Company’s interest rate exposure associated with the variability in the future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates. Any changes in fair value are included in earnings or deferred through AOCE, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the offset. Any ineffectiveness in a cash flow hedging relationship is recognized immediately in earnings in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. In conjunction with a senior notes offering during the second quarter of 2013 and the related repayment of the Company’s variable-rate 2011 Term Loans (the “2011 Term Loans”) (see Note
7
), the Company terminated all existing interest rate swaps that had previously fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Company’s variable-rate 2011 Term Loans. As a result, during the
year ended
December 31, 2013
, approximately
$0.8 million
that had previously been classified in AOCE was recognized into
other expense (income), net
, as the forecasted transaction was no longer probable of occurring. In addition,
$750 million
of floating-rate debt interest rate swaps that were extended through forward-starting swaps were terminated during the
year ended
December 31, 2013
in the transaction described above. There were
no
interest rate swaps on floating-rate debt as of
December 31, 2014
or
December 31, 2013
.
In anticipation of issuing fixed-rate debt, the Company may use treasury rate locks or forward starting interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. During the first and third quarters of 2013, the Company entered into a series of forward starting swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact the Company’s expected financing of the acquisition of
Agila
. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of expected future interest payments. In February 2013, the Company executed interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$1.07 billion
. In
September 2013
, the terms of these swaps were extended to an effective date in
November 2013
and the Company executed an additional
$930 million
of notional value of interest rate swaps with an effective date in
November 2013
. In
November 2013
all of the swaps were terminated in conjunction with the completion of the financing of the
Agila
acquisition. A gain of
$41.2 million
was recorded in AOCE, which is being amortized over the term of the related financing transactions. In addition,
$0.8 million
of hedge ineffectiveness was recorded in
other expense (income), net
.
In April 2013, the Company entered into a series of forward starting swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact future debt issuances. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges of expected future interest payments related to these issuances. The Company executed
$1.80 billion
of notional value swaps with effective dates ranging from
December 2014
to
August 2015
. These swaps have maturities of
ten years
.
In August 2014, the Company entered into a series of forward starting swaps to hedge against changes in interest rates that could impact future debt issuances. These swaps are designed as cash flow hedges of expected future issuances of long-term bonds. The Company executed
$575 million
of notional value swaps with an effective date of September 2015. These swaps have a maturity of
ten years
.
In December 2014, the Company terminated certain forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges of expected future issuances of long-term bonds. As a result of this termination, the Company has recognized a loss of approximately
$14.6 million
during the year ended
December 31, 2014
.
The Company's interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges convert the fixed rate on a portion of the Company's fixed-rate senior notes to a variable rate. These interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges are measured at fair value and reported as assets or current liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. Any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting change in fair value of the portion of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, is included in interest expense. In June 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$500 million
that were designated as hedges of the Company’s
1.800%
Senior Notes due 2016. In December 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of
$750 million
that were designated as hedges of the Company’s
3.125%
Senior Notes due 2023. The variable rate was
0.57%
at
December 31, 2014
. The total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate swaps on fixed-rate debt was
$750 million
and
$1.8 billion
as of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
In October 2014, the Company terminated certain fair value swaps that had previously fixed the interest rate on its
1.800%
Senior Notes due 2016. As a result, during the year ended
December 31, 2014
, the Company recognized a gain of approximately
$0.4 million
. This amount will be amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the
1.350%
Senior Notes due 2016.
In November 2014, in conjunction with the redemption of the Company’s
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018, the Company’s counterparties exercised their right to terminate certain swaps that had been designated as a fair value hedge on a portion of the Company’s
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received a payment of approximately
$15 million
related to the swap termination, which was recognized into
other expense (income), net
.
Certain derivative instrument contracts entered into by the Company are governed by Master Agreements, which contain credit-risk-related contingent features that would allow the counterparties to terminate the contracts early and request immediate payment should the Company trigger an event of default on other specified borrowings. The aggregate fair value of all such contracts that are in a liability position at
December 31, 2014
is
$19.6 million
. The Company is not subject to any obligations to post collateral under derivative instrument contracts.
The Company maintains significant credit exposure arising from the convertible note hedge on its Cash Convertible Notes. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company and
New Mylan
executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that, among other things, all relevant determinations for purposes of the cash conversion rights to which holders may be entitled from time-to-time in accordance with such indenture shall be made by reference to the
New Mylan
ordinary shares. As adjusted in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, holders may convert their Cash Convertible Notes subject to certain conversion provisions determined by a) the market price of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares, b) specified distributions to common shareholders, c) a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes, or d) certain time periods specified in the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes. The conversion feature can only be settled in cash and, therefore, it is bifurcated from the Cash Convertible Notes and treated as a separate derivative instrument. In order to offset the cash flow risk associated with the cash conversion feature, the Company entered into a convertible note hedge with certain counterparties. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the terms of the convertible note hedge were adjusted so that the cash settlement value will be based on
New Mylan
ordinary shares. Both the cash conversion feature and the purchased convertible note hedge are measured at fair value with gains and losses recorded in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. Also, in conjunction with the issuance of the Cash Convertible Notes, the Company entered into several warrant transactions with certain counterparties. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the terms of the warrants were also adjusted so that, from and after the consummation of the Transaction, we may settle the obligations under the warrant transaction by delivering
New Mylan
ordinary shares. The warrants meet the definition of derivatives; however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock, and have been recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Company’s
Consolidated Balance Sheets
, the instruments are exempt from the scope of U.S. GAAP guidance regarding accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities and are not subject to the fair value provisions set forth therein.
At
December 31, 2014
, the convertible note hedge had a total fair value of
$1.85 billion
, which reflects the maximum loss that would be incurred should the parties fail to perform according to the terms of the contract. The counterparties are highly rated diversified financial institutions with both commercial and investment banking operations. The counterparties are required to post collateral against this obligation should they be downgraded below thresholds specified in the contract. Eligible collateral is comprised of a wide range of financial securities with a valuation discount percentage reflecting the associated risk.
The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its financial counterparties and does not expect to incur a significant loss from failure of any counterparties to perform under any agreements.
The Company records all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
. Accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities. The asset and liability balances presented in the tables below reflect the gross amounts of derivatives recorded in the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements
.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an identical asset or paid to transfer an identical liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
|
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
Observable market-based inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
|
In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified in the tables below in one of the three categories described above:

For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including the LIBOR yield curve, foreign exchange forward prices, and bank price quotes. For the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, there were
no
transfers between Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities:
|
|
•
|
Cash equivalents
— valued at observable net asset value prices.
|
|
|
•
|
Trading securities
— valued at the active quoted market price from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date.
|
|
|
•
|
Available-for-sale fixed income investments
— valued at the quoted market price from broker or dealer quotations or transparent pricing sources at the reporting date.
|
|
|
•
|
Available-for-sale equity securities
— valued using quoted stock prices from the London Exchange at the reporting date and translated to U.S. Dollars at prevailing spot exchange rates.
|
|
|
•
|
Interest rate swap derivative assets and liabilities
— valued using the LIBOR/EURIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions.
|
|
|
•
|
Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities
— valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions.
|
|
|
•
|
Cash conversion feature of cash convertible notes and purchased convertible note hedge
— valued using quoted prices for the Company’s cash convertible notes, its implied volatility and the quoted yield on the Company’s other long-term debt at the reporting date. Counterparties to the purchased convertible note hedge are highly rated financial institutions.
|
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is determined using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s contingent consideration represents a component of the total purchase consideration for the respiratory delivery platform, the
Agila
acquisition and certain other acquisitions. The measurement is calculated using unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions. For the respiratory platform and certain other acquisitions, significant unobservable inputs in the valuation include the probability and timing of future development and commercial milestones and future profit sharing payments. A discounted cash flow method was used to value contingent consideration at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, which was calculated as the present value of the estimated future net cash flows using a market rate of return. Discount rates ranging from
0.8%
to
11.3%
were utilized in the valuation. For the
Agila
acquisition, significant unobservable inputs in the valuation include the probability of future payments to the seller of amounts withheld at the closing date. Significant changes in unobservable inputs could result in material changes to the contingent consideration liability. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with
Strides Arcolab
to settle a portion of the contingent consideration for
$150 million
, for which the Company accrued
$230 million
at the acquisition date. As a result of this agreement, the Company recognized a gain of
$80 million
during the
year ended December 31, 2014
, which is included in other operating (income) expense, net in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. During the years ended
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, accretion of
$35.3 million
and
$32.3 million
, respectively, was recorded in interest expense. A fair value adjustment to increase the liability of approximately
$3.1 million
during the
year ended December 31, 2013
, was recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense.
Although the Company has not elected the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities, any future transacted financial asset or liability will be evaluated for the fair value election.

Receivables Facility
The Company has the Receivables Facility, an accounts receivable securitization facility, with a committed balance of
$400 million
, although from time-to-time, the available amount of the Receivables Facility may be less than
$400 million
based on accounts receivable concentration limits and other eligibility requirements. In January 2015, the Receivables Facility was amended and restated, and its maturity was extended through January 2018.
Under the terms of the Receivables Facility, our subsidiary,
MPI
, sells certain accounts receivable to Mylan Securitization LLC (“Mylan Securitization”) a wholly owned special purpose entity which in turn sells a percentage ownership interest in the receivables to financial institutions and commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions.
MPI
is the servicer of the receivables under the Receivables Facility. Purchases under the Receivables Facility will be repaid as accounts receivable are collected, with new purchases being advanced as new accounts receivable are originated by
MPI
. Mylan Securitization’s assets have been pledged to the agent in support of its obligations under the Receivables Facility.
Any amounts outstanding under the facility will be recorded as a secured loan and the receivables underlying any borrowings will continue to be included in accounts receivable, net, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
of the Company.
The Receivables Facility contains requirements relating to the performance of the accounts receivable and covenants related to the Company. If we do not comply with the covenants under the Receivables Facility, our ability to use the Receivables Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the Receivables Facility may be required.
As of
December 31, 2014
, the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
include
$1.07 billion
of accounts receivable balances sold to Mylan Securitization, as well as
$325 million
of short-term borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under this facility was approximately
0.93%
at
December 31, 2014
. As of
December 31, 2013
, the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
include
$723.1 million
of accounts receivable balances sold to Mylan Securitization, as well as
$374 million
of short-term borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under this facility was approximately
0.93%
at
December 31, 2013
.

Senior Credit Facilities
In December 2014, the Company entered into a new Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndication of lenders, which contains a
$1.5 billion
revolving facility (the “New Revolving Facility”), which expires in
December 19, 2019
. The New Revolving Facility includes a
$150 million
subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit and a
$125 million
subfacility for swingline borrowings. The interest rate on borrowings under the New Revolving Facility at
December 31, 2014
was LIBOR plus
1.325%
per annum. The New Revolving Facility has a facility fee which is
0.175%
. At
December 31, 2014
, the Company had
no
amounts outstanding under the New Revolving Facility. In December 2014, in connection with its entry into the New Revolving Facility, the Company terminated the credit agreement entered into in June 2013 (the “June 2013 Credit Agreement”).
The New Revolving Facility contains customary affirmative covenants for facilities of this type, including among others, covenants pertaining to the delivery of financial statements, notices of default and certain material events, maintenance of corporate existence and rights, business, property, and insurance and compliance with laws, as well as customary negative covenants for facilities of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, liens, mergers and certain other fundamental changes, investments and loans, acquisitions, transactions with affiliates, payments of dividends and other restricted payments and changes in our lines of business. The New Revolving Facility also contains a maximum consolidated leverage ratio financial covenant.
In December 2014, the Company entered into a new Term Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks which provided an
$800 million
term loan (the “2014 Term Loan”). The 2014 Term Loan matures on
December 19, 2017
and has no required amortization payments. The 2014 Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid without penalty or premiums. The proceeds of the 2014 Term Loan were used for working capital expenditures and to repay the outstanding borrowings under the June 2013 Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the June 2013 Credit Agreement were used to fund the redemption of the November 2018 Senior Notes. As of
December 31, 2014
, the 2014 Term Loan currently bears interest at LIBOR plus
1.375%
per annum. The 2014 Term Loan contains similar covenants to the New Revolving Facility. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its various debt agreements as of
December 31, 2014
.
In June 2013, in connection with its entry into the June 2013 Senior Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the credit agreement entered into in November 2011 (the “November 2011 Credit Agreement”) and incurred a pre-tax charge of approximately
$8.7 million
related to the write-off of deferred financing fees, which was included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The November 2013 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of November 29, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”) and the first supplemental indenture dated as of November 29, 2013, both of which were entered into by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee.

2.550%
Senior Notes due 2019 where interest payments are due semi-annually in arrears on March 28th and September 28th of each year beginning March 28, 2014.
The Company may redeem the

Senior Notes due in 2023 and the
5.400%
Senior Notes due 2043 at any time on or afte
r three months
prior to their maturity in the case of the
4.200%
Senior Notes due in 2023 and
six m
onths prior to their maturity in the case of the

November 2023 Senior Notes or
5.400%
November 2043 Senior Notes, as the case may be, to be redeemed, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding the redemption date.
The net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the acquisition of
Agila
and for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of short-term borrowings and funding of the October 2013 share repurchase program. The outstanding balance under the November 2013 Senior Notes at December 31, 2013 was
$1.99 billion
, which includes a discount of
$6.5 million
.
Senior Notes issued June 2013
In June 2013, the Company issued
$500 million
aggregate principal amount of
1.800%
Senior Notes due 2016 and
$650 million
aggregate principal amount of
2.600%
Senior Notes due June 2018 (collectively, the “June 2013 Senior Notes”). These notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and were issued to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the U.S. pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The June 2013 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of June 25, 2013 entered into by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee. Interest payments on the June 2013 Senior Notes are due semi-annually in arrears on June 24th and December 24th of each year beginning December 24, 2013.
In June 2013 and in connection with the offering of the June 2013 Senior Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Notes. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the Company was obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts (1) to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the June 2013 Senior Notes (the “exchange offer”) for new notes with the same aggregate principal amount and terms substantially identical in all material respects and (2) to cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, which was declared effective on January 31, 2014 and the exchange offer was completed on March 4, 2014. Net proceeds from the June 2013 Senior Notes were used to repay all of its outstanding
$1.13 billion
in 2011 Term Loans under the November 2011 Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes.
At
December 31, 2014
, the
$500.2 million
of
1.800%
Senior Notes due 2016 debt is net of
a
$0.2 million
discount and a fair value adjustment of
$0.4 million
associated with the termination of related interest rate swaps.
November 2018 Senior Notes Redemption
On
November 15, 2014
, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018 pursuant to their terms for a total of
$824.0 million
, including a
$24.0 million
redemption premium. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately
$33.3 million
during the fourth quarter of 2014 related to the redemption of the
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018, comprised of the redemption premium and the write-off of deferred financing fees, which is included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The redemption of the
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018 was funded through borrowings under the revolving facility of the June 2013 Credit Agreement.
In November 2014 in conjunction with the redemption of the
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018, the Company’s counterparties exercised their right to terminate certain swaps on a portion of the
6.000%
Senior Notes due 2018. As a result the Company received a payment of approximately
$15 million
related to the swap termination. The termination gain is included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
July 2017 Senior Notes Redemption
On July 18, 2013, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding
7.625%
Senior Notes due 2017 pursuant to their terms for a total of
$608.8 million
, including a
$58.8 million
redemption premium. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately
$63.9 million
during the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the redemption of the
7.625%
Senior Notes due 2017, comprised of the redemption premium and the write-off of deferred financing fees, which was included in
other expense (income), net
, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The redemption of the
7.625%
Senior Notes due 2017 was funded through borrowings under the revolving facility of the June 2013 Credit Agreement.
Cash Convertible Notes
In 2008,
Mylan
issued
$575 million
aggregate principal amount of Cash Convertible Notes due 2015. The Cash Convertible Notes bear stated interest at a rate of
3.75%
per year and an effective interest rate of
9.5%
. The effective interest rate is based on the rate for a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. The Cash Convertible Notes are not convertible into our common stock or any other securities under any circumstance. In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company and
New Mylan
executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that, among other things, all relevant determinations for purposes of the cash conversion rights to which holders may be entitled from time-to-time in accordance with such indenture shall be made by reference to the
New Mylan
ordinary shares.
On September 15, 2008, concurrent with the sale of the Cash Convertible Notes,
Mylan
entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with certain counterparties. Pursuant to the warrant transactions, the Company sold to the counterparties warrants to purchase in the aggregate up to approximately
43.2 million
shares of
Mylan
common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, which under most circumstances represents the maximum number of shares to which the Cash Convertible Notes relate (based on the conversion reference rate at the time of issuance). The sold warrants had an exercise price of
$20.00
and will be net share settled, meaning that
Mylan
will issue a number of shares per warrant corresponding to the difference between its share price at each warrant expiration date and the exercise price. The warrants meet the definition of derivatives under the guidance in ASC 815; however, because these instruments have been determined to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40, the warrants have been recorded in shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company entered into amendments with the counterparties to exchange the original warrants with an exercise price of
$20.00
(the “Old Warrants”) for new warrants with an exercise price of
$30.00
(the “New Warrants”). Approximately
41.0 million
of the Old Warrants were exchanged in the transaction. All other terms and settlement provisions of the Old Warrants remain unchanged in the New Warrants.
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the terms of the convertible note hedge were adjusted so that the settlement value will be based on
New Mylan
ordinary shares. The terms of the warrant transactions were also adjusted so that, from and after the consummation of the Transaction, we may settle the obligations under the warrant transaction by delivering
New Mylan
ordinary shares.
Below is the summary of the components of the Cash Convertible Notes:

|
|
(a)
|
As of
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the cash convertible notes were classified as current portion of long-term debt and other long-term obligations and long-term debt, respectively, on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
.
|
|
|
(b)
|
As of
December 31, 2014
and

, purchased call options were classified as prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets
.
|
As adjusted in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, holders may convert their notes subject to certain conversion provisions including (i) during any quarter if the closing price of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares exceeds
130%
of the respective conversion price per share during a defined period at the end of the previous quarter; (ii) during a defined period following five consecutive trading days in which the trading price per
$1,000
principal amount was less than
98%
of the product of the closing price of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares on such day and the applicable conversion reference rate; (iii) if
New Mylan
makes specified distributions to holders of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares including sales of rights or common stock on a preferential basis, certain distribution of assets or other securities or rights to all holders of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares or certain transactions resulting in substantially all shares of
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares being converted into cash, securities or other property; or (iv) upon a certain business combinations or if
New Mylan
’s ordinary shares cease to be traded on a major U.S. stock exchange.
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Company and
New Mylan
executed a supplemental indenture that amended the indenture governing the Cash Convertible Notes so that, among other things, all relevant determinations for purposes of the cash conversion rights to which holders may be entitled from time-to-time in accordance with such indenture shall be made by reference to the
New Mylan
ordinary shares.
As of
December 31, 2014
, because the closing price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day in the
December 31, 2014
period, was more than
130%
of the applicable conversion reference price of
$13.32
, the
$573.1 million
of Cash Convertible Notes was currently convertible. Although the Company’s experience is that convertible debentures are not normally converted by investors until close to their maturity date, it is possible that some debentures could be converted prior to their maturity date if, for example, a holder perceives the market for the debentures to be weaker than the market for the common stock. Upon an investor’s election to convert, the Company is required to pay the full conversion value in cash. Should holders elect to convert, the Company intends to draw on its New Revolving Facility to fund any principal payments. The amount payable per
$1,000
notional bond would be calculated as the product of (1) the conversion reference rate (currently
75.0751
) and (2) the average Daily Volume Weighted Average Price per share of common stock for a specified period following the conversion date. Any payment above the principal amount is matched by a convertible note hedge.
Fair Value
At
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the fair value of the Senior Notes was approximately
$5.03 billion
and
$5.85 billion
, respectively. At
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
, the fair value of the Cash Convertible Notes was approximately
$2.42 billion
and
$1.88 billion
, respectively. The fair values of the Senior Notes and Cash Convertible Notes were valued at quoted market prices from broker or dealer quotations and were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Based on quoted market rates of interest and maturity schedules for similar debt issues, the fair values of the 2014 Term Loan and New Revolving Facility, determined based on Level 2 inputs, approximate their carrying values at
December 31, 2014
and
December 31, 2013
.
Mandatory minimum repayments remaining on the outstanding long-term debt at
December 31, 2014
, excluding the discounts, premium and conversion features, are as follows for each of the periods ending December 31:

For those foreign subsidiaries whose investments are permanent in duration, U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been provided on the amount by which the investment in those subsidiaries, as recorded for financial reporting, exceeds the tax basis. This amount becomes taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The amount of such temporary differences totaled approximately
$693 million
at
December 31, 2014
. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable as such determination involves material uncertainties about the potential extent and timing of any distributions, the availability and complexity of calculating foreign tax credits, and the potential indirect tax consequences of such distributions, including withholding taxes. No deferred taxes have been recorded on the instances whereby the Company’s investment in foreign subsidiaries is currently greater for U.S. tax purposes than for U.S. GAAP purposes, as management has no current plans that would cause that temporary difference to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Includes income tax credits under Section 45 of the Code earned from the Company’s clean energy investments.
|
For taxation of non-U.S. operations, the effective tax rate reflects the income tax rates and relative earnings in the locations where the Company operates outside of the U.S. The Company’s jurisdictional location of earnings is a component of the effective tax rate each year as tax rates outside the U.S. may be lower than the U.S. statutory income tax rate, and the rate impact of this component is also influenced by the level of such earnings as compared to the Company’s total earnings. The jurisdictional mix of earnings can vary as a result of operating fluctuations in the normal course of business and as a result of the extent and location of other income and expense items, such as internal restructurings, and gains and losses on strategic business decisions.
During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received approvals from the relevant Indian regulatory authorities to legally merge its wholly owned subsidiaries, Agila Specialties Private Limited and Onco Therapies Limited, into
Mylan Laboratories Limited
. The merger resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset of approximately
$150.0 million
for the tax deductible goodwill in excess of the book goodwill with a corresponding benefit to income tax provision for the
year ended December 31, 2014
.
Valuation Allowance
A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At
December 31, 2014
, a valuation allowance has been applied to certain foreign and state deferred tax assets in the amount of
$304.5 million
. The valuation allowance increased by
$25.0 million
during
2014
.
Net Operating Losses
As of
December 31, 2014
, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for international and U.S. state income tax purposes of approximately
$2.7 billion
, of which
$2.0 billion
are state losses. The Company also has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$700 million
, of which
$450 million
can be carried forward indefinitely, with the remainder expiring in years 2015 through 2034. Most of the net operating losses (foreign and state) have a full valuation allowance.
The Company has
$88.0 million
of capital loss carryforwards expiring in
2019
through 2022. A full valuation allowance is recorded against these losses. The Company also has
$42.0 million
of foreign, domestic and state credit carryovers, expiring in various amounts through 2029.
Tax Examinations
Mylan is subject to ongoing IRS examinations and is a voluntary participant in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process. The years 2013 through 2014 are the open years under examination. The year 2012 has one issue open in the IRS Appeals process. Years 2007 through 2011 are currently scheduled for U.S. Tax Court proceedings beginning in 2015. Tax and interest continue to be accrued related to certain tax positions.
The Company’s major state taxing jurisdictions remain open from fiscal year 2007 through 2014, with several state audits currently in progress. The Company’s major international taxing jurisdictions remain open from 2007 through 2014, some of which are indemnified by Merck KGaA and
Strides Arcolab
for tax assessments.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The impact of an uncertain tax position that is more likely than not of being sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained. No portion of an uncertain tax position will be recognized if the position has less than a
50%
likelihood of being sustained.
As of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of
$191.2 million
and
$174.7 million
, of which
$115.4 million
and
$120.4 million
, respectively, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. Accrued interest and penalties included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were
$72.3 million
and
$65.6 million
as of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively. For the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, Mylan recognized
$2.2 million
,
$0.5 million
and
$(9.1) million
, respectively, for interest expense (income) related to uncertain tax positions. Interest expense and penalties related to income taxes are included in the tax provision.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next twelve months by approximately
$97 million
, involving federal and state tax audits and settlements, possible resolution of U.S. Tax Court proceedings and expirations of certain state and foreign statutes of limitations. The Company does not anticipate significant increases to the reserve within
the next twelve months

Stock-Based Incentive Plan
|
Mylan
’s shareholders have approved the
2003 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(as amended, the “2003 Plan”). Under the 2003 Plan, as amended,
55,300,000
shares of common stock are reserved for issuance to key employees, consultants, independent contractors and non-employee directors of
Mylan
through a variety of incentive awards, including: stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), restricted shares and units, performance awards (“PSU”), other stock-based awards and short-term cash awards. Stock option awards are granted at the fair value of the shares underlying the options at the date of the grant, generally become exercisable over periods ranging from
three
to
four years
, and generally expire in
ten years
. Upon approval of the 2003 Plan, no further grants of stock options have been made under any other previous plan.
In February 2014,
Mylan
’s Compensation Committee and the independent members of the Board of Directors adopted the One-Time Special Performance-Based Five-Year Realizable Value Incentive Program (the “
2014 Program
”) under the 2003 Plan. Under the
2014 Program
, certain key employees received a one-time, performance-based incentive award (the “Awards”) either in the form of a grant of SAR or PSU. The Awards were granted in February 2014 and contain a
five
-year cliff-vesting feature based on the achievement of various performance targets, external market conditions and the employee’s continued services.

$96.5 million
, respectively.
2003 Plan
With respect to options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each option grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the implied volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The model incorporates exercise and post-vesting forfeiture assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The expected lives of the grants are derived from historical and other factors.
The assumptions used for options granted under the 2003 Plan are as follows:

2014 Program
Under the
2014 Program
, approximately
4.4 million
SARs and
1.5 million
PSUs were granted. The fair value of the Awards were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation as both the SARs and PSUs contain the same performance and market conditions. The Monte Carlo simulation involves a series of random trials that result in different future stock price paths over the contractual life of the SAR or PSU based on appropriate probability distributions. Conditions are imposed on each Monte Carlo simulation to determine if the extent to which the performance conditions would have been met, and therefore the extent to which the Awards would have vested, for the particular stock price path. Once the Company determines that it is probable that the performance targets will be met, compensation expense is recorded for these awards. Each SAR or PSU is equal to one common share with the maximum value of each Award upon vesting subject to varying limitations.

2014 Program

Defined Benefit Plans
The Company sponsors various defined benefit pension plans in several countries. Benefit formulas are based on varying criteria on a plan by plan basis.
Mylan
’s policy is to fund domestic pension liabilities in accordance with the minimum and maximum limits imposed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Federal income tax laws. The Company funds non-domestic pension liabilities in accordance with laws and regulations applicable to those plans, which typically results in these plans being unfunded. The Company has a plan covering certain employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico to provide for limited reimbursement of post-retirement supplemental medical coverage. In addition, in December 2001, the Supplemental Health Insurance Program for Certain Officers of the Company was adopted to provide full post-retirement medical coverage to certain officers and their spouses and dependents. These plans generally provide benefits to employees
who meet minimum age and service requirements. The net amounts accrued related to these benefits were
$68.7 million
and
$60.4 million
at
December 31, 2014
and
2013
, respectively.
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans covering certain of its employees in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, as well as certain employees in a number of countries outside the U.S. Its domestic defined contribution plans consist primarily of a 401(k) retirement plan with a profit sharing component for non-union represented employees and a 401(k) retirement plan for union-represented employees. Profit sharing contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Its non-domestic plans vary in form depending on local legal requirements. The Company’s contributions are based upon employee contributions, service hours, or pre-determined amounts depending upon the plan. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when they are earned.
The Company adopted a 401(k) Restoration Plan (the “Restoration Plan”), which permits employees who earn compensation in excess of the limits imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, to (i) defer a portion of base salary and bonus compensation, (ii) be credited with a Company matching contribution in respect of deferrals under the Restoration Plan, and (iii) be credited with Company non-elective contributions (to the extent so made by the Company), in each case, to the extent that participants otherwise would be able to defer or be credited with such amounts, as applicable, under the Company’s Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan if not for the limits on contributions and deferrals imposed by the Code.
The Company adopted an Income Deferral Plan (the “Income Deferral Plan”), which permits certain management or highly compensated employees who are designated by the plan administrator to participate in the Income Deferral Plan to elect to defer up to
50%
of base salary and up to
100%
of bonus compensation, in each case, in addition to any amounts that may be deferred by such participants under the Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan and the Restoration Plan. In addition, under the Income Deferral Plan, eligible participants may be granted employee deferral awards, which awards will be subject to the terms and conditions (including vesting) as determined by the plan administrator at the time such awards are granted.
Total employer contributions to defined contribution plans were approximately
$87.4 million
,
$79.0 million
and
$68.4 million
for the years ended
December 31, 2014
,
2013
and
2012
, respectively.
Other Benefit Arrangements
The Company provides supplemental life insurance benefits to certain management employees. Such benefits require annual funding and may require accelerated funding in the event that the Company would experience a change in control.
The Company participated in a multi-employer pension plan under previous collective bargaining agreements. The PACE Industry Union-Management Pension Fund, (the “Plan”), provides defined benefits to certain retirees and certain production and maintenance employees at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Morgantown, West Virginia who were covered by the previous collective bargaining agreements. Pursuant to a new collective bargaining agreement entered into on April 16, 2012, the Company withdrew from the Plan effective May 10, 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Plan trustee notified the Company that its withdrawal liability was approximately
$27 million
, which was accrued by the Company at
December 31, 2013
. The withdrawal liability is being paid over a period of
approximately
nine
years, with payments beginning in
March 2014
. The Employee Identification Number for this Plan is 11-6166763.
Mylan
has
two
segments, “Generics” and “Specialty.” The Generics segment primarily develops, manufactures, sells and distributes generic or branded generic pharmaceutical products in tablet, capsule, injectable or transdermal patch form, as well as API. The Specialty segment engages mainly in the development, manufacture and sale of branded specialty nebulized and injectable products.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of its segments based on total revenues and segment profitability. Segment profitability represents segment gross profit less direct R&D expenses and direct selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain general and administrative and R&D expenses not allocated to the segments, litigation settlements, net, impairment charges and other expenses not directly attributable to the segments, are reported in Corporate/Other. Additionally, amortization of intangible assets and other purchase accounting related items, as well as any other significant special items, are included in Corporate/Other. Items below the earnings from operations line on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations
are not presented by segment, since they are excluded from the measure of segment
profitability. The Company does not report depreciation expense, total assets and capital expenditures by segment, as such information is not used by the chief operating decision maker.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note
2
to
Consolidated Financial Statements
. Intersegment sales are accounted for at current market values and are eliminated at the consolidated level.
Presented in the table below is segment information for the periods identified and a reconciliation of segment information to total consolidated information.

Other Commitments
The Company is contractually obligated to make potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone, royalty and/or profit sharing payments in conjunction with collaborative agreements or acquisitions that the Company has entered into with third parties. The most significant of these such obligations relates to the potential future consideration related to the 2013
Agila
acquisition and the 2011 respiratory delivery platform acquisition. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. The amount of contingent consideration accrued was approximately
$470 million
at
December 31, 2014
.
The Company has entered into an exclusive collaboration on the development, manufacturing, supply and commercialization of multiple, high value generic biologic compounds and
three
insulin analog products for the global marketplace.
Mylan
plans to provide funding related to the collaboration over the next several years that could total approximately
$75 million
or more per year.
On
January 30, 2015
, the Company entered into a development and commercialization collaboration with Theravance Biopharma for the development and, subject to FDA approval, commercialization of a novel once-daily nebulized LAMA for COPD and other respiratory diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Mylan and Theravance Biopharma will co-develop the product. In the U.S., Mylan will lead commercialization and Theravance Biopharma will retain the right to co-promote the product under a profit-sharing arrangement. In addition to funding the U.S. registrational development program, Mylan will pay Theravance Biopharma an initial payment of
$15 million
in the second quarter of 2015 and made a
$30 million
equity investment in Theravance Biopharma. Under the terms of the agreement, Theravance Biopharma is eligible to receive potential development and sales milestone payments totaling
$220 million
in the aggregate.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Pfizer for the exclusive worldwide rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize a novel long-acting muscarinic antagonist compound. As part of the agreement, the Company made an upfront development payment, which is included as a component of R&D expense in 2013, and could make additional payments upon the achievement of certain milestones as the Company’s development continues over the next several years. Depending on the commercialization of this novel compound and the level of future sales and profits, the Company could also be obligated to make payments upon the occurrence of certain sales milestones, along with sales royalties and profit sharing payments.
Additionally,
Mylan
has entered into product development agreements under which the Company has agreed to share in the development costs as they are incurred by our partners. As the timing of cash expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, it is difficult to forecast the amount of payments to be made over the next few years, which could be significant.
The Company has also entered into employment and other agreements with certain executives and other employees that provide for compensation, retirement and certain other benefits. These agreements provide for severance payments under certain circumstances. Additionally, the Company has split-dollar life insurance agreements with certain retired executives.
In the normal course of business,
Mylan
periodically enters into employment, legal settlement and other agreements which incorporate indemnification provisions. While the maximum amount to which
Mylan
may be exposed under such agreements cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company maintains insurance coverage, which management believes will
effectively mitigate the Company’s obligations under these indemnification provisions. No amounts have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the Company’s obligations under such agreements.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inquiries and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time, some of which are described below. The Company is also party to certain litigation matters for which Merck KGaA or
Strides Arcolab
has agreed to indemnify the Company, pursuant to the respective sale and purchase agreements.
While the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses with respect to the claims asserted against it and intends to vigorously defend its position, the process of resolving matters through litigation or other means is inherently uncertain, and it is not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of any such proceeding. It is possible that an unfavorable resolution of any of the matters described below, or the inability or denial of Merck KGaA,
Strides Arcolab
or another indemnitor or insurer to pay an indemnified claim, could have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows, and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Unless otherwise disclosed below, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the respective litigation or to provide an estimate of the range of reasonably possible losses. Legal costs are recorded as incurred and are classified in SG&A in the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations
.
Lorazepam and Clorazepate
On June 1, 2005, a jury verdict was rendered against
Mylan
,
MPI
, and co-defendants Cambrex Corporation and Gyma Laboratories in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the amount of approximately
$12.0 million
, which has been accrued for by the Company. The jury found that
Mylan
and its co-defendants willfully violated Massachusetts, Minnesota and Illinois state antitrust laws in connection with API supply agreements entered into between the Company and its API supplier (Cambrex) and broker (Gyma) for
two
drugs, Lorazepam and Clorazepate, in 1997, and subsequent price increases on these drugs in 1998. The case was brought by
four
health insurers who opted out of earlier class action settlements agreed to by the Company in 2001 and represents the last remaining antitrust claims relating to
Mylan
’s 1998 price increases for Lorazepam and Clorazepate. Following the verdict, the Company filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law, a motion for a new trial, a motion to dismiss two of the insurers and a motion to reduce the verdict. On December 20, 2006, the Company’s motion for judgment as a matter of law and motion for a new trial were denied and the remaining motions were denied on January 24, 2008. In post-trial filings, the plaintiffs requested that the verdict be trebled and that request was granted on January 24, 2008. On February 6, 2008, a judgment was issued against
Mylan
and its co-defendants in the total amount of approximately
$69.0 million
, which, in the case of
three
of the plaintiffs, reflects trebling of the compensatory damages in the original verdict (approximately
$11.0 million
in total) and, in the case of the fourth plaintiff, reflects their amount of the compensatory damages in the original jury verdict plus doubling this compensatory damage award as punitive damages assessed against each of the defendants (approximately
$58.0 million
in total), some or all of which may be subject to indemnification obligations by
Mylan
. Plaintiffs are also seeking an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation costs in unspecified amounts and prejudgment interest of approximately
$8.0 million
. The Company and its co-defendants appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and have challenged the verdict as legally erroneous on multiple grounds. The appeals were held in abeyance pending a ruling on the motion for prejudgment interest, which has been granted.
Mylan
has contested this ruling along with the liability finding and other damages awards as part of its appeal, which was filed in the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. On January 18, 2011, the Court of Appeals issued a judgment remanding the case to the District Court for further proceedings based on lack of diversity with respect to certain plaintiffs. On June 13, 2011,
Mylan
filed a certiorari petition with the U.S. Supreme Court requesting review of the judgment of the D.C. Circuit. On October 3, 2011, the certiorari petition was denied. The case is now proceeding before the District Court. On January 14, 2013, following limited court-ordered jurisdictional discovery, the plaintiffs filed a fourth amended complaint containing additional factual averments with respect to the diversity of citizenship of the parties, along with a motion to voluntarily dismiss
775
(of
1,387
) self-funded customers whose presence would destroy the District Court’s diversity jurisdiction. The plaintiffs also moved for a remittitur (reduction) of approximately
$8.1 million
from the full damages award.
Mylan
's brief in response to the new factual averments in the complaint was filed on February 13, 2013. On July 29, 2014, the court granted both plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint and their motion to dismiss 775 self-funded customers.
In connection with the Company’s appeal of the judgment, the Company submitted a surety bond underwritten by a third-party insurance company in the amount of
$74.5 million
in February 2008. On May 30, 2012, the District Court ordered the amount of the surety bond reduced to
$66.6 million
.
Pricing and Medicaid Litigation
Dey L.P. (now known as
Mylan Specialty L.P.
and herein as “
Mylan Specialty
”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was named as a defendant in several class actions brought by consumers and third-party payors.
Mylan Specialty
reached a settlement of these class actions, which was approved by the court and all claims have been dismissed. Additionally, a complaint was filed under seal by a plaintiff on behalf of the United States of America against
Mylan Specialty
in August 1997. In August 2006, the Government filed its complaint-in-intervention and the case was unsealed in September 2006. The Government asserted that
Mylan Specialty
was jointly liable with a codefendant and sought recovery of alleged overpayments, together with treble damages, civil penalties and equitable relief.
Mylan Specialty
completed a settlement of this action in December 2010. These cases all have generally alleged that
Mylan Specialty
falsely reported certain price information concerning certain drugs marketed by
Mylan Specialty
, that
Mylan Specialty
caused false claims to be made to Medicaid and to Medicare, and that
Mylan Specialty
caused Medicaid and Medicare to make overpayments on those claims.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement with Merck KGaA, Mylan is fully indemnified for the claims in the preceding paragraph and Merck KGaA is entitled to any income tax benefit the Company realizes for any deductions of amounts paid for such pricing litigation. Under the indemnity, Merck KGaA is responsible for all settlement and legal costs, and, as such, these settlements had no impact on the Company’s
Consolidated Statements of Operations
. At
December 31, 2014
, the Company has accrued approximately
$63.3 million
in other current liabilities, which represents its estimate of the remaining amount of anticipated income tax benefits due to Merck KGaA. Substantially all of
Mylan Specialty
’s known claims with respect to this pricing litigation have been settled.
Modafinil Antitrust Litigation and FTC Inquiry
Beginning in April 2006, Mylan and
four
other drug manufacturers have been named as defendants in civil lawsuits filed in or transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a variety of plaintiffs purportedly representing direct and indirect purchasers of the drug Modafinil and in a lawsuit filed by Apotex, Inc., a manufacturer of generic drugs. These actions allege violations of federal antitrust and state laws in connection with the generic defendants’ settlement of patent litigation with Cephalon relating to Modafinil. Discovery has now closed. On June 23, 2014, the court granted the defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment (and denied the corresponding plaintiffs’ motion) dismissing plaintiffs’ claims that the defendants had engaged in an overall conspiracy to restrain trade. On January 28, 2015, the District Court denied the defendants’ summary judgment motions based on factors identified in the Supreme Court’s
Actavis
decision. Additional motions remain pending and a trial date has not been scheduled.
In addition, by letter dated July 11, 2006,
Mylan
was notified by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) of an investigation relating to the settlement of the Modafinil patent litigation. In its letter, the FTC requested certain information from
Mylan
,
MPI
and
Mylan Technologies, Inc.
pertaining to the patent litigation and the settlement thereof. On March 29, 2007, the FTC issued a subpoena, and on April 26, 2007, the FTC issued a civil investigative demand to
Mylan
, requesting additional information from the Company relating to the investigation.
Mylan
has cooperated fully with the government’s investigation and completed all requests for information. On February 13, 2008, the FTC filed a lawsuit against Cephalon in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the case has subsequently been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On July 1, 2010, the FTC issued a third party subpoena to
Mylan
, requesting documents in connection with its lawsuit against Cephalon.
Mylan
has responded to the subpoena.
Mylan
is not named as a defendant in the FTC’s lawsuit, although the complaint includes certain allegations pertaining to
Mylan
's settlement with Cephalon.
Minocycline
On May 1, 2012, the FTC issued a civil investigative demand to
Mylan
pertaining to an investigation being conducted to determine whether Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation,
Mylan
, and/or other generic companies engaged in unfair methods of competition with regard to Medicis’ branded Solodyn® products and generic Solodyn® products, as well as the 2010 settlement of Medicis’ patent infringement claims against
Mylan
and
Matrix Laboratories Limited
(now known as
Mylan Laboratories Limited
).
Mylan
has cooperated with the FTC and has responded to the requests for information.
Beginning in July 2013,
Mylan
and
Mylan Laboratories Limited
, along with other drug manufacturers, were named as defendants in civil lawsuits filed by a variety of plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the District of Arizona, and the District of Massachusetts. Those lawsuits were consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The plaintiffs purport to represent direct and indirect purchasers of branded or generic Solodyn®, and assert violations of federal and state laws, including allegations in connection with separate settlements by Medicis with each of the other defendants of patent litigation relating to generic Solodyn®. Plaintiffs’ consolidated amended complaint was filed on
September 12, 2014,
Mylan
and
Mylan Laboratories Limited
are no longer named defendants in the consolidated amended complaint.
Pioglitazone
Beginning in December 2013,
Mylan
, Takeda, and several other drug manufacturers have been named as defendants in civil lawsuits consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by plaintiffs which purport to represent indirect purchasers of branded or generic Actos® and Actoplus Met®. These actions allege violations of state and federal competition laws in connection with the defendants’ settlements of patent litigation in 2010 relating to Actos and Actoplus Met®. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 22, 2014.
Mylan
and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on October 10, 2014 and a decision remains pending.
European Commission Proceedings
Perindopril
On or around July 8, 2009, the European Commission ( the “Commission”) stated that it had initiated antitrust proceedings pursuant to Article 11(6) of Regulation No. 1/2003 and Article 2(1) of Regulation No. 773/2004 to explore possible infringement of Articles 81 and 82 EC and Articles 53 and 54 of the EEA Agreement by Les Laboratoires Servier (“Servier”) as well as possible infringement of Article 81 EC by the Company’s Indian subsidiary,
Mylan Laboratories Limited
, and
four
other companies, each of which entered into agreements with Servier relating to the product Perindopril. On July 30, 2012, the European Commission issued a Statement of Objections to Servier SAS, Servier Laboratories Limited, Les Laboratories Servier, Adir, Biogaran, Krka, d.d. Novo mesto, Lupin Limited,
Mylan Laboratories Limited
,
Mylan
, Niche Generics Limited, Teva UK Limited, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Teva Pharmaceuticals Europe B.V., and Unichem Laboratories Limited.
Mylan
and
Mylan Laboratories Limited
filed responses to the Statement of Objections. On July 9, 2014, the Commission issued a decision finding that
Mylan Laboratories Limited
and
Mylan
, as well as the companies noted above (with the exception of Adir, a subsidiary of Servier), had violated European Union competition rules and fined
Mylan Laboratories Limited
approximately
€17.2 million
, including approximately
€8.0 million
jointly and severally with
Mylan
. The Company paid approximately
$21.7 million
related to this matter during the fourth quarter of 2014. On September 19, 2014, the Company filed an appeal of the Commission’s decision to the General Court of the European Union and the briefing is ongoing.
Citalopram
On March 19, 2010, Mylan and
Generics [U.K.] Limited
, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, received notice that the Commission had opened proceedings against Lundbeck with respect to alleged unilateral practices and/or agreements related to Citalopram in the European Economic Area. On July 25, 2012, a Statement of Objections was issued to Lundbeck, Merck KGaA,
Generics [U.K.] Limited
, Arrow, Resolution Chemicals, Xelia Pharmaceuticals, Alpharma, A.L. Industrier and Ranbaxy.
Generics [U.K.] Limited
filed a response to the Statement of Objections and vigorously defended itself against allegations contained therein. On June 19, 2013, the Commission issued a decision finding that
Generics [U.K.] Limited
, as well as the companies noted above, had violated European Union competition rules and fined
Generics [U.K.] Limited
approximately
€7.8 million
, jointly and severally with Merck KGaA.
Generics [U.K.] Limited
has appealed the Commission’s decision to the General Court of the EU.
Generics [U.K.] Limited
has also sought indemnification from Merck KGaA with respect to the
€7.8 million
proportion of the fine for which Merck KGaA and
Generics [U.K.] Limited
were held jointly and severally liable. Merck KGaA has counterclaimed against
Generics [U.K.] Limited
seeking the same. The Company accrued approximately
$10.3 million
related to this matter as of
December 31, 2014
and
2013
. It is reasonably possible that we will incur additional losses above the amount accrued but we cannot estimate a range of such reasonably possible losses at this time. There are no assurances, however, that settlements reached and/or adverse judgments received, if any, will not exceed amounts accrued.
U.K. Competition and Markets Authority
On August 12, 2011,
Generics [U.K.] Limited
received notice that the Office of Fair Trading (subsequently changed to the Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”)) was opening an investigation to explore the possible infringement of the Competition Act 1998 and Article 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, with respect to alleged agreements related to Paroxetine. On April 19, 2013, a Statement of Objections was issued to GlaxoSmithKline,
Generics [U.K.] Limited
, Alpharma and Ivax LLC.
Generics [U.K.] Limited
filed a response to the Statement of Objections, defending itself against the allegations contained therein. The CMA issued a Supplementary Statement of Objections (“SSO”) to the above-referenced parties on October 21, 2014 and a hearing with regard to the SSO took place on December 19, 2014. A decision remains pending.
Product Liability
The Company is involved in a number of product liability lawsuits and claims related to alleged personal injuries arising out of certain products manufactured and/or distributed by the Company, including but not limited to its Fentanyl Transdermal System, Phenytoin, Propoxyphene, and Alendronate. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and claims and is vigorously defending itself with respect to those matters. From time to time, the Company has agreed to settle or otherwise resolve certain lawsuits and claims on terms and conditions that are in the best interests of the Company. The Company had accrued approximately
$13.4 million
at
December 31, 2014
and
$13.8 million
at
December 31, 2013
. It is reasonably possible that we will incur additional losses above the amount accrued but we cannot estimate a range of such reasonably possible losses at this time. There are no assurances, however, that settlements reached and/or adverse judgments received, if any, will not exceed amounts accrued.
Intellectual Property
In certain situations, the Company has used its business judgment to decide to market and sell products, notwithstanding the fact that allegations of patent infringement(s) or other potential third party rights have not been finally resolved by the courts. The risk involved in doing so can be substantial because the remedies available to the owner of a patent for infringement may include, a reasonable royalty on sales or damages measured by the profits lost by the patent owner. In the case of willful infringement, the definition of which is subjective, such damages may be increased up to
three
times. Moreover, because of the discount pricing typically involved with bioequivalent products, patented branded products generally realize a substantially higher profit margin than bioequivalent products. An adverse decision in any case could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or share price.
Other Litigation
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings that are considered normal to its business, including but not limited to certain proceedings assumed as a result of the acquisition of the former Merck Generics business and
Agila
. While it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such other proceedings, the ultimate outcome of any such proceeding is not currently expected to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(the “Company”), as such agreement may be amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement provides for certain benefits upon a termination of employment with Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement). By executing this letter agreement, for good and valuable consideration (including the agreement of the parties hereto that, by entering into this letter agreement, immediately following the consummation of the Transaction (as defined below), you shall have the title and position of Executive Chairman of Mylan N.V., the term “Executive Chairman” as used in the Employment Agreement shall include the title and position of Executive Chairman of Mylan N.V., the authority, duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 1 of the Employment Agreement shall include the corresponding authority, duties and responsibilities associated with your title and position as Executive Chairman of Mylan N.V., you shall serve as Chairman of the board of directors of Mylan N.V. and references to “the Company” in the definition of Good Reason shall be deemed to refer to both Mylan Inc. and Mylan N.V.), you acknowledge and agree that you will not have Good Reason under clause (1) of the definition thereof for any purpose of the Employment Agreement solely as a result of (i) the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mylan N.V. pursuant to the Business Transfer Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 13, 2014, by and among Abbott Laboratories, an Illinois corporation, the Company and the other parties thereto, as amended and as may be further amended from time to time (the transaction contemplated by such agreement, the “Transaction”), (ii) your becoming Executive Chairman of Mylan N.V., or (iii) your becoming a non-executive member of the board of directors of Mylan N.V. for purposes of Dutch law (collectively, the “Reorganization”). This letter agreement shall be effective solely with respect to the Reorganization, shall have no effect of any kind on whether any event, action or occurrence that occurs prior to and/or following the consummation of the Reorganization constitutes Good Reason, and shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of any rights under the Employment Agreement except as expressly stated herein. All other provisions of the Employment Agreement, as modified by the foregoing, shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding this letter agreement.

that, (i) if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith and (ii) notwithstanding anything in GAAP to the contrary, for purposes of all financial calculations hereunder, the amount of any Indebtedness outstanding at any time shall be the stated principal amount thereof (except to the extent such Indebtedness provides by its terms for the accretion of principal, in which case the amount of such Indebtedness at any time shall be its accreted amount at such time).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any test or covenant or the compliance with or availability of any basket contained in this Agreement, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Total Assets and Consolidated Net Tangible Assets shall be calculated with respect to such period on a Pro Forma Basis.
SECTION 1.05
Payments on Business Days
. When the payment of any Obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be;
provided
that, with respect to any payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Loans, if such extension would cause any such payment to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
SECTION 1.06
Pro Forma Compliance
. Where any provision of this Agreement requires, as a condition to the permissibility of an action to be taken by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries at any time prior to December 31, 2014, compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with Section 6.07, such provision shall mean that on a Pro Forma Basis, and after giving effect to such action, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall be no greater than the maximum level specified for December 31, 2014.
SECTION 1.07
Rounding
. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the
number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).
SECTION 1.08
Additional Alternative Currencies
.
(a) The applicable Borrower may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than Dollars and those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”;
provided
that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., twenty (20) Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Event (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Issuing Bank thereof. Each Revolving Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Revolving Loans) or the applicable Issuing Bank (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.
(c) Any failure by a Revolving Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Revolving Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Revolving Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the applicable Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the applicable Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.08, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the applicable Borrower and the Company, and the Company may replace such non-consenting Lender, subject to Section 2.18(b). Any specified currency of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.
SECTION 1.09
Change of Currency
.
(a) Each obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency;
provided
that if any Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
(c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.
SECTION 1.10
Times of Day
. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
SECTION 1.11
Letter of Credit Amounts
. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time;
provided
,
however
, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
SECTION 1.12
Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents; LIBO Rate
.
(a) The Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be used for calculating Dollar Equivalent amounts of Credit Events and Outstanding Amounts denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan
Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(c) The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto;
provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, wilfull misconduct or negligence of the Administrative Agent.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers in Dollars or Alternative Currencies from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) the Dollar Equivalent of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) subject to Section 1.12, the Dollar Equivalent of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the sum of the total Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
SECTION 2.02
Loans and Borrowings
.
(a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided
that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04.
(b) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Base Rate Loan shall only be made in Dollars. Each Swingline Loan shall be a
Base Rate Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan;
provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple (or, if not an integral multiple, the entire available amount) and not less than the Borrowing Minimum. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans which shall be subject to Section 2.04) shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000;
provided
that Eurocurrency Loans and Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(c). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time;
provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twenty (20) Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested would end after the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03
Requests for Borrowings
. To request a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower shall irrevocably notify the Administrative Agent of such request by (A) telephone or (B) a written Borrowing Request in a form attached hereto as
Exhibit C
or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by hand delivery or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request. Each such Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than Noon (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans;
provided
,
however
, that if such Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than noon (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) five Business Days (or six Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00
a.m., (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days (or five Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the applicable Borrower on behalf of whom the Borrowing Request is being submitted;
(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, conversion or continuation;
(iii) the date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) whether such Borrowing, conversion or continuation is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(v) the currency in which such Borrowing is to be made, which shall be Dollars or an Alternative Currency;
(vi) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;
(vii) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06;
(viii) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a new Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans; and
(ix) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars to a Borrower, the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. In the case of a failure to timely request a conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing or conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount (and currency) of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. No Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
SECTION 2.04
Swingline Loans
.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period;
provided
that no such Swingline Loan shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans would exceed the Swingline Loan Sublimit or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments;
provided further
that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender of such request, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) by a Swingline Loan Notice;
provided
that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent of a Swingline Loan Notice, and, in each case, such notice shall be irrevocable. Each such Swingline Loan Notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day, and (iii) the applicable Borrower that is submitting the Swingline Loan Notice. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Loan Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Loan Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make
such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, the Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of such Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(c), by remittance to the relevant Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Borrowing Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 and Section 2.03, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Borrowing Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Borrowing Request available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Borrowing Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such Base Rate Loan in accordance with clause (i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan and such Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Base Rate Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any
Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iii) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided
,
however
, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of each Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) (i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.08 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the applicable Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.
(f) Each applicable Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of its Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender.

(iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated

(iv) No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if the Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless an Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii) If a Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a
Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “
Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
”);
provided
that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “
Non-Extension Notice Date
”) in each such twelve‑month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to an Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit;
provided
,
however
, that no Issuing Bank shall permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.05(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, or any Revolving Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)
Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations
.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that such Borrower will reimburse such Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than noon on the Business Day following any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the Business Day following any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “
Honor Date
”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.05(c)(i) and (B) the
Dollar amount paid by the applicable Borrower on the date of payment by such Borrower (whether on or after the Honor Date) shall not be adequate on the date of such payment to purchase in accordance with normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the applicable Borrower agrees, as a separate and independent obligation, to indemnify the applicable Issuing Bank for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. If the applicable Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “
Unreimbursed Amount
”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Business Day following the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request). Any notice given by the applicable Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(c)(iii), such Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank in Dollars.
(iii) If any drawing under any Letter of Credit is not reimbursed on the date of drawing, the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such drawing shall accrue interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that with respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.05.
(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.
(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse each Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit issued by it, as contemplated by this Section 2.05(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided
,
however
, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse an Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of an Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)
Repayment of Participations
.
(i) At any time after an Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.05(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the applicable Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.08 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)
Obligations Absolute
. The obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) waiver by any Issuing Bank of any requirement that exists for the Issuing Bank’s protection and not the protection of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any waiver by the Issuing Bank which does not in fact materially prejudice the Company; (v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; (vi) any payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable; (vii) any payment by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (viii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Subsidiary. The applicable Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with
such Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, such Borrower will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank. Each applicable Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)
Role of Issuing Banks
. Each Revolving Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;
provided
,
however
, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.05(e);
provided
,
however
, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower may have a claim against any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to a Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. The applicable Issuing Bank may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(g)
Cash Collateral
.
(i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if any Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding, each Borrower shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all LC Exposure attributable to the Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of such Borrower.
(ii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the LC Exposure at such time exceeds 105% of the LC Exposure Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize the LC Exposure in an amount equal to the amount by which the LC Exposure exceeds the LC Exposure Sublimit.
(iii) The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of exchange rate fluctuations.
(iv) In the event of an Event of Default, upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then LC Exposure of all Revolving Lenders.
(h)
Applicability of ISP and UCP
. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrowers for, and each Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrowers shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or permitted under any Law, order, or practice (which practice is stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice) that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.
(i)
Conflict with Issuer Documents
. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(j)
Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries
. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the
benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(k)
Release of Lenders’ Obligations
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, in the event that (i) an Issuing Bank shall have issued, in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(ii)(B), a Letter of Credit with an expiry date occurring after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and (ii) the Borrowers shall have Cash Collateralized the Outstanding Amount of all such LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.14
, then, upon the provision of such Cash Collateral and without any further action, each Lender hereunder shall be automatically released from any further obligation to the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit, including, any obligation of any such Lender to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under such Letter of Credit or to purchase any risk participation therein;
provided
,
however
, that all such obligations of each Lender hereunder to the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be revived if any Cash Collateral provided by the Borrowers in respect of such Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or applicable Issuing Bank) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such Cash Collateral had not been provided. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.06
Funding of Borrowings
.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage or other percentage provided for herein and (ii) in the case of each Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency by the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent for such currency;
provided
that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to (x) an account designated by the applicable Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars and (y) an account of the applicable Borrower in the relevant jurisdiction and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency;
provided
that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(c) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Issuing Bank.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.07
Market Disruption
. Notwithstanding the satisfaction of all conditions referred to in Article II and Article IV with respect to any Revolving Borrowing to be effected in any Alternative Currency, if (i) there shall occur on or prior to the date of such Borrowing any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank (if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit) or the Required Lenders make it impracticable for the applicable Eurocurrency Borrowings or Letters of Credit comprising such Credit Event to be denominated in the Alternative Currency specified by the applicable Borrower or (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of such currency is not readily calculable, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the applicable Borrower, the Lenders and, if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank, and such Credit Events shall not be denominated in such Alternative Currency but shall, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.06, be made on the date of such Credit Event in Dollars, (a) if such Credit Event is a Borrowing, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request, as the case may be, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to borrow on such date or (ii) it elects to borrow on such date in a different Alternative Currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Loans would, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, be practicable and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount specified in the related Borrowing Request or Interest Election Request, as the case may be or (b) if such Credit Event is a Letter of Credit, in a face amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount specified in the related request or application for such Letter of Credit, unless the applicable Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before such date that (i) it elects not to request the issuance of such Letter of Credit on such date or (ii) it elects to have such Letter of Credit issued on such date in a different currency, as the case may be, in which the denomination of such Letter of Credit would in the reasonable opinion of the relevant Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, be practicable and in face amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount specified in the related request or application for such Letter of Credit, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.08

.
(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments of any Class shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect to such Class.
(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments;
provided
that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000, (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Revolving Commitments), (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.
(c) The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b)) of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section not later than 12:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided
that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or the occurrence of any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 2.09
Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt

any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error;
provided
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by promissory notes. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

provided
that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the notice of prepayment. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and shall be subject to Section 2.15.
(b)
Mandatory Prepayment
.
If the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Revolving Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Revolving Credit Exposure as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Revolving Commitments then in effect;
provided
,
however
, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(g)(ii), the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposures pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans, the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral for the LC Exposure, reasonably request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the results of further material exchange rate fluctuations.
SECTION 2.11
Fees
.
(a) The Borrowers, collectively, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates;
provided
that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily Dollar Equivalent of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Revolving Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure;
provided
,
however
, that any facility fee accrued with respect to the unutilized Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such facility fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrowers prior to such time; and
provided further
that no facility fee shall accrue on the unutilized Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof;
provided
that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(b) The Borrowers, collectively, agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans on the average daily Dollar Equivalent of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later
of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees and commissions with respect to the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, presentment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third (3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date;
provided
that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c) The Borrowers collectively, agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the relevant Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.12
Interest
.
(a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time
plus
the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus
the Applicable Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clauses (h) or (i) of Article VII or (y) if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2%
plus
the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, upon the request
of the Required Lenders, 2%
plus
the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (the “
Default Rate
”).
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments;
provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period or a Swingline Loan), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest (i) computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and (ii) for Borrowings denominated in Sterling shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.13
Alternate Rate of Interest
. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to clause (a), the “
Impacted Loans
”); or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (A) if such Revolving Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, as a Base Rate Borrowing, or (B) if such Revolving Borrowing is denominated in an Alternative Currency, as a Revolving Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent and the Company may agree adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans (or, in the absence of such agreement, such Revolving Borrowing shall be repaid as of the
last day of the current Interest Period applicable thereto), (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing (or such Revolving Borrowing shall not be made if the applicable Borrower revokes (and, in such circumstances, such Borrowing Request may be revoked notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement) by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, not later than one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Borrowing) and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, such Borrowing shall be made as a Revolving Borrowing bearing interest at such rate as the Administrative Agent and the Company may agree adequately reflects the costs to the Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans or, in the absence of such agreement, such Borrowing Request shall be automatically revoked notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof. Upon the Administrative Agent’s election to establish an alternative rate of interest pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency or currencies (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or Interest Periods) without payment of any amount specified in Section 2.15, provided that such repayment is effected promptly upon receipt of such notice.
SECTION 2.14
Increased Costs
.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any Issuing Bank;
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan (including pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in any currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other currency) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (including pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in any currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other currency) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise (including pursuant to any conversion of any Borrowing denominated in any currency into a Borrowing denominated in any other currency), in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Bank to be material in the context of its making of, and participation in, extensions of credit under this Agreement, then, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon the request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days (or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Lender) after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred more than 135 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 135-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) A Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s claim for additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be generally consistent with such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s treatment of customers of such Lender or Issuing Bank that such Lender or Issuing Bank considers, in its reasonable discretion, to be similarly situated as the Company.
SECTION 2.15
Break Funding Payments
. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender may be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (and excluding any Applicable Rate), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days (or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Lender) after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16
Taxes
.
(a)
Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes
. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or Loan Party) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative
Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties
. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)
Tax Indemnifications
.
(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, under this clause (ii).
(d)
Evidence of Payments
. Upon request by the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes on amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.16, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)
Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation
.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax (other than withholding Tax imposed by the United Kingdom) with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company or any Affiliate within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E (or successor form); or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)
Treatment of Certain Refunds
. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or an Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(g)

(ii) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement is entered into and (x) holds a passport under the UK Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to any Loans it may make under this Agreement, shall set out its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the relevant Assignment and Assumption.
(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of Tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(i) or paragraph (h)(ii) above, the UK Borrower shall make the UK Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement or, if later, thirty (30) Business Days before the first interest payment is due to such Lender and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing, provided that if the UK Borrower has made the UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:
(A) such UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or
(B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for Tax within sixty (60) days of the date of such UK Borrower DTTP Filing;
(iv) (and, in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing), then such Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in
completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment under this Agreement without UK withholding or deduction.
(v) Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall require a UK Treaty Lender to:
(A) register under the UK Treaty Passport Scheme;
(B) apply the UK Treaty Passport Scheme to any Loan if it has so registered; or
(C) file UK Treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the UK Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.16(h)(i) or Section 2.16(h)(ii) (UK Treaty Passport Scheme confirmation) and the UK Borrower making that payment has not complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(h)(iii).
(vi) The UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender.
(vii) If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j)(i) or paragraph (j)(ii) above, the UK Borrower shall not (unless the Lender otherwise agrees) make a UK Borrower DTTP filing or file any other form relating to the UK Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that Lender’s Commitments(s) or its participation in any Loan, but that Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in the prompt completion of any procedural formalities necessary for the UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make payments to the Lender under this Agreement without UK withholding or deduction.
(i)
Lender Confirmation
. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered shall confirm whether or not it is a Qualifying Lender and, if it is a UK Treaty Lender, shall provide the UK Borrower notice to that effect, in each case within 10 Business Days of this Agreement. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption shall indicate in the Assignment and Assumption whether or not it is a Qualifying Lender and if it is a UK Treaty Lender, shall include an indication to that effect in the Assignment and Assumption. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 2.16(i).
(j)
Notification of Changes

The UK Borrower shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a UK withholding or deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such UK withholding or deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Lender it shall notify the UK Borrower.

Value Added Tax
.
(i) All amounts set out or expressed in a Loan Document to be payable by any party to any Lender which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender to any party under a Loan Document, that party shall pay to the Lender (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Lender shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party).
(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iii) Any reference in this Section 2.16(k) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994).
(iv) In relation to any supply made by a Lender or the Administrative Agent to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Administrative Agent, that party shall promptly provide such Lender or Administrative Agent with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

Survival
. Each party’s obligations under this
Section 2.16

SECTION 2.17
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff prior to (i) in the case of payments by the Borrower denominated in Dollars, 2:00 p.m., New York City time and (ii) in the case of payments denominated in an Alternative Currency, 2:00 p.m., Applicable Time, in the city of the
Administrative Agent’s Office for such currency, in each case on the date when due, in immediately available funds. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made (i) in the same currency in which the applicable Credit Event was made (or where such currency has been converted to Dollars, in Dollars) and (ii) to the Administrative Agent at its offices for Dollar denominated Credit Events or, in the case of a Credit Event denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Administrative Agent’s Office for such currency, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments denominated in the same currency received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, after the making of any Credit Event in any Alternative Currency, currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that the type of currency in which the Credit Event was made (the “
Original Currency
”) no longer exists or the Borrowers are not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date of repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably based on the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans;
provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant in accordance with Section 9.04. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the relevant Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.17 or 9.03, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payments.
SECTION 2.18
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Any Lender claiming reimbursement of such costs and expenses shall deliver to the Company a certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) If (1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (2) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (3) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (4) any Lender fails to grant a consent in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02 for which the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender is required but the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, (5) if any Lender is prohibited under applicable Law from making Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in one or more Alternative Currencies to the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and at such time the Required Lenders are permitted under applicable Law (and have agreed) to make such Loans and Letters of Credit in such Alternative Currencies, (6) if any Lender is prohibited under applicable Law from making, or is not licensed to make, Loans or other applicable extensions of credit to New Mylan (provided that New Mylan is incorporated in a Permitted Jurisdiction) in accordance with this Agreement or does not consent to any request by the Company to include additional jurisdiction (of incorporation, tax residence or otherwise) as a “Permitted Jurisdiction” that is consented to by the Required Lenders or (7) if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, but excluding the consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided
that:
(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.04 (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) in the case of an assignment resulting from an event described in clause (4) above, (A) the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (B) after giving effect to such assignment (and any other assignments made in connection therewith), each Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent;
(v) in the case of an assignment resulting from a circumstance described in clause (5) above, (A) the applicable assignee shall be permitted under Law to make Loans and Letters of Credit in all Alternative Currencies to the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (B) after giving effect to such assignment (and any other assignments made in connection therewith), each Lender shall be permitted under applicable Law to make Loans to and Letters of Credit to the Borrowers in all Applicable Currencies;
(vi) in the case of an assignment resulting from a circumstance described in clause (6) above, (A) the applicable assignee shall be permitted under Law and licensed to make Loans and other applicable extensions of credit to New Mylan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (B) after giving effect to such assignment (and to any other assignments made in connection therewith), each Lender shall be permitted under applicable Law and licensed to make such Loans and other applicable extensions of credit under this Agreement; and
(vii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19
Expansion Option
.
(a) The Borrowers may from time to time after the Closing Date elect to increase the Revolving Commitments (“
Increased Commitments
”) in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000. The Borrowers may arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment, an “
Increasing Lender
”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “
Augmenting Lender
”), to increase their existing Revolving Commitments or to participate in such Revolving Commitments, as the case may be;
provided
that each Augmenting Lender (and, in the case of an Increased Commitment, each Increasing Lender) shall be subject to the approval of the Company, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Without the consent of any Lenders other than the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Additional Credit Extension Amendment as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. Increases of Revolving Commitments shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Revolving Commitments shall be permitted under this paragraph unless on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (ii) after giving effect to such increase in the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (determined as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter and assuming that the entire amount of such increase had been borrowed as of such quarter end), and (iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate confirming (and, as applicable, setting forth reasonably detailed calculations demonstrating) compliance with each of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company. On the effective date of any increase in the Revolving Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Loans, and (ii) if, on the date of such increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Increased Commitments be prepaid to the extent necessary from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder by the Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders, so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date of all or any portion of such Increased Commitments, the principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Lender is equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (after giving effect to any nonratable Increased Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.19) of all then outstanding Revolving Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. For the avoidance of doubt, no Lender shall have any obligation to provide any Increased Commitment.
(b) This Section 2.19 shall override any provisions in Section 9.02 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.20
Judgment Currency
. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “
specified currency
”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable
judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.17, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
SECTION 2.21
Designated Borrower
.
(a) Substantially concurrently with (or at any time after) the effectiveness of the Specified Acquisition Transaction (but solely to the extent New Mylan is not a Successor Borrower hereunder), Mylan may (upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree)), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.21(a), designate New Mylan as a borrower hereunder to receive Loans and make Borrowings hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of
Exhibit G
(the “
Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement
”). The Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that New Mylan may become a “Designated Borrower” pursuant hereto without any requirement of further consent from the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) New Mylan is organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction, (ii) New Mylan takes all such actions and executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent (A) a joinder to this Agreement in the form of
Exhibit I
, (B) all documents and other information reasonably requested by the Lenders in order to allow the Lenders to comply with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act, (C) customary legal opinions substantially similar to those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(b) (with such changes as may be appropriate to reflect local law concerns), (D) customary closing documents substantially similar to those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and (E) other documentation required under applicable Laws or this
Section 2.21(a)
or that may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (iii) each Lender, at the time of such designation, shall be permitted under applicable Laws and shall be licensed to make Loans and other applicable extensions of credit to New Mylan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or, if any such Lender is not so permitted, such Lender may be replaced pursuant to Section 2.18, and (iv) New Mylan shall have all governmental approvals and authorizations necessary to act, and perform its obligations, as a Borrower in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Subject to satisfaction of the requirements set forth above, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the
form of
Exhibit H
(the “
Designated Borrower Notice
”) to Mylan and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which New Mylan shall constitute a designated borrower for purposes hereof (New Mylan, upon the satisfaction of such conditions, the “
Designated Borrower
”), whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans and make Borrowings hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that the Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.22
Extended Revolving Commitments
.
(a)
Request for Extended Revolving Commitments
. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time, upon written request to and the consent of the Administrative Agent (each, a “
Revolving Extension Request
”), request that an aggregate principal amount of not less than $300,000,000 of the then existing Commitments of any Class (each, an “
Existing Revolver Tranche
”) be amended to, among other things, extend the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date with respect thereto (the “
Existing Maturity Date
”) to a date that is no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Commitment hereunder (any such Revolving Commitments so amended, “
Extended Revolving Commitments
”); provided that (i) after giving effect to any Extended Revolving Commitment under this Section 2.22, there shall be no more than three (3) Classes of Commitments outstanding at any time and (ii) any such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be offered on the same terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees) to each Revolving Lender under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche on a ratable basis. Promptly after receipt of any Revolving Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy of such request to each of the Revolving Credit Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche to be amended, which request shall set forth the proposed terms (which shall be determined in consultation with the Administrative Agent) of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established. Each Revolving Extension Request shall specify (A) the applicable Class of Commitments and Loans hereunder to be extended, (B) the date to which the applicable maturity date is sought to be extended, (C) the changes, if any, to the Applicable Rate to be applied in determining the interest payable on the Loans of, and fees payable hereunder to, Extending Revolving Lenders (as defined below) in respect of that portion of their Commitments and Loans extended to such new maturity date and the time as of which such changes will become effective (which may be prior to the Existing Maturity Date) and (D) any other amendments or modifications to this Agreement applicable to such Extended Revolving Commitments,
provided
that
no such changes or modifications pursuant to this clause (D) shall become effective prior to the then Latest Maturity Date. At the time of sending such notice, the Company (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each applicable Revolving Lender is requested to respond to such request (which shall in no event be less than fifteen (15) calendar days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) from the date of delivery of such notice to such Revolving Lenders) and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.22.
(b)
Election to Extend
. Any Revolving Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolving Tranche amended into
Extended Revolving Commitments (each, an “
Extending Revolving Lender
”) specified in the Revolving Extension Request shall notify the Administrative Agent on or prior to the response date specified in such Revolving Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Commitments it has elected to be amended (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent not to exceed $50,000,000). No Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to agree to provide any Extended Revolving Commitment pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Revolving Lender not responding on or prior to such response date shall be deemed to have declined such Revolving Extension Request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Revolving Lender under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche of responses to such Revolving Extension Request. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of existing Revolving Commitments that the Extending Revolving Lenders have elected to amend pursuant to the relevant Revolving Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Revolving Commitments requested by the Borrowers, the principal amount of Extended Revolving Commitments requested by the Borrowers shall be allocated to each Extending Revolving Lender in such manner and in such amounts as may be agreed by Administrative Agent and the Company, in their sole discretion.
(c)
Revolving Extension Amendment
. Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “
Revolving Extension Amendment
”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Revolving Lender, if any, providing an Extended Revolving Commitment thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.22(a), (b) and (d) (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Revolving Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) (with all references in such Sections to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such Revolving Extension Request) and receipt of a certificate to that effect and, any other condition as may be agreed among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender as to the effectiveness of each Revolving Extension Amendment and the matters specified therein. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Revolving Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lender, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments incurred pursuant thereto, and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22, in each case, in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 2.22 and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Revolving Extension Amendment.
(d)
Terms of Extended Revolving Commitments
. Except as expressly provided herein, all Extended Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request and Revolving Extension Amendment shall be subject to the same terms (including borrowing terms, interest terms and payment terms), and shall be subject to the same conditions as the then existing Revolving Commitments (it being understood that customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to one or more Arrangers (or their Affiliates) or one or more Extending Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, may be different than those paid with
respect to the existing Revolving Lenders under the then existing Revolving Commitments on or prior to the Closing Date or with respect to any other Extending Revolving Lenders in connection with any other Extended Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to this Section 2.22); provided, however, that at the election of the Borrowers (in consultation with the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers may offer to effect Extended Revolving Commitments with (i) interest and fees at different rates applicable solely with respect to such Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), which may take effect as of the date of the Revolving Extension Amendment, and (ii) such other covenants and terms, which in the case of this clause (ii), apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Revolving Extension Amendment related thereto (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments). After giving effect to any Extended Revolving Commitment, all borrowings under the Revolving Commitments (including any such Extended Revolving Commitments) and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (x) any payments of interest and fees at different rates on any Revolving Extension Series (and related Loans thereunder) and (y) repayments required upon the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date of other Revolving Commitments). If a Revolving Extension Amendment has become effective hereunder, not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Existing Maturity Date the Borrowers shall make prepayments of Revolving Loans and shall Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, such that, after giving effect to such prepayments and such provision of cash collateral, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure as of such date will not exceed the aggregate Extended Revolving Commitments of the Extended Revolving Lenders extended pursuant to this Section 2.22 (and the Borrowers shall not be permitted thereafter to request any Revolving Loan or any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the aggregate amount of the Extended Revolving Commitments then in effect).
(e)
Revolving Extension Series
. Any Extended Revolving Commitments effected pursuant to a Revolving Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolving Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments effected from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Revolving Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolving Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche.
SECTION 2.23
Successor Borrower
. Substantially concurrently with (or at any time after) the effectiveness of the Specified Acquisition Transaction, the Company may (upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree)), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.23, designate New Mylan as a successor Borrower (the “
Successor Borrower

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America as its agent and authorizes Bank of America to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or by the other Loan Documents),
provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a
Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(f) (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company and (unless an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing) with the consent of the Company (which consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “
Resignation Effective Date
”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(ii) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent, and the Company in consultation with the Lenders shall, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Required Lenders in consultation with the Company shall, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States; provided that, without the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), the
Required Lenders shall not be permitted to select a successor that is not a U.S. financial institution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A). If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “
Removal Effective Date
”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(iii) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Loan Parties to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
(iv) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (f) shall also constitute its resignation as an Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.05(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment by the Company of a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b)
the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
(g) Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The Lenders irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required by Section 9.02) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee pursuant to this paragraph (i). The Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee.
(j) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 9.02
Waivers; Amendments
.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with respect to such Loan Document), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided
, that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Advance or reduce the rate of interest or premium thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate;
provided
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.12(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth therein, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Advance, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Required Lenders” or the definition of “Alternative Currencies” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender or (vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under any Guarantee Agreement (other than pursuant to the proviso set forth in Section 5.09(a)), without the consent of each Lender;
provided further
that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Company may, with the consent of the other but without the consent of any other Person, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, typographical or technical error, defect or inconsistency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder which does not require the consent of each affected Lender (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of less than all affected Lenders).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Credit Exposures and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.
SECTION 9.03

(b) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “
Indemnitee
”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one additional counsel for each Indemnitee in the event of a conflict of interest), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) to the extent relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether brought by a Borrower, its equityholders or any third party;
provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or controlling Persons (such persons, the “
Related Indemnitee Parties
”), (B) the material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties or (C) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, in each case in its capacity as such) and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. In addition, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available with respect to any settlements effected without the Company’s prior written consent.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto and any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof;

Certain Additional Payments
. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(viii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided

Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)
Register
. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) and interest thereon of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “
Register
”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Participations
.

Participant
”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LC Disbursements and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it);
provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.
(e) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 9.02(b)(i) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and interest thereon of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “
Participant Register
”);
provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)
Limitations upon Participant Rights
. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or results from a Change in Law after the sale of such participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.
(g)
Certain Pledges
. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)
Resignation as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender after Assignment
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall be
entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder;
provided
,
however
, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all LC Disbursements with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.05(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) each Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.17(c)), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VII and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.17(c), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
ARTICLE X
Guarantee
SECTION 10.01
Guarantee
. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and their permitted indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable Federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 10.02). Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 10.01 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party hereunder. The guarantee contained in this Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or each outstanding Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized, so that it is fully secured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Commitments shall be irrevocably terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time any Loan Party may be free from any of the Obligations. Except as provided in Section 10.12, no payment made by any of the Guarantors, any other Loan Party or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in
cash, either no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or each outstanding Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized so that it is fully secured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Commitments are irrevocably terminated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X (Guarantee) the guarantee and other obligations of any Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands expressed to be assumed in this Article X (Guarantee) shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 2:98c of the Dutch Civil Code or any other applicable financial assistance rules under any relevant jurisdiction (the “
Prohibition
”) and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly acknowledged that the relevant Guarantors organized under the laws of the Netherlands will continue to guarantee all such obligations which, if included, do not constitute a violation of the Prohibition.
SECTION 10.02
Right of Contribution
. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.03. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 10.03
No Subrogation
. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, no Guarantor shall seek to enforce any right of subrogation in respect of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor under this Article X, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties by the Loan Parties on account of the Obligations are paid in full, either no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or each outstanding Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized so that it is fully secured to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Commitments are irrevocably terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing agreement by the Guarantor shall operate as a waiver of any subrogation rights.
SECTION 10.04
Amendments, etc., with Respect to the Obligations
. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Loan Party and without notice to or further assent by any Loan Party, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem reasonably advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.
SECTION 10.05
Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party upon the guarantee contained in this Article X or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article X; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article X; and all dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article X. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article X, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article X, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations
or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings
SECTION 10.06
Reinstatement
. Subject to Section 5.09 and Section 10.12, this Guarantee Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Revolving Commitments with respect to the Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Lender Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Lender Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lender Parties are in possession of or have released this Guarantee Agreement and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 10.07
Obligations Independent
. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee whether or not any Borrower or any other Person or entity is joined as a party.
SECTION 10.08
Payments
. All payments by each Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be made in the manner, at the place and in the currency for payment required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (if the currency for payment required by this Agreement is other than Dollars) such Guarantor may, at its option (or, if for any reason whatsoever such Guarantor is unable to effect payments in the foregoing manner, such Guarantor shall be obligated to) pay to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Obligations together with any other amounts due pursuant to
Section 2.15
. In any case in which a Guarantor makes or is obligated to make payment in Dollars, such Guarantor shall hold the Administrative Agent harmless from any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent arising from any change in the value of Dollars in relation to the currency for payment
required by this Agreement between the date the Obligation becomes due and the date the Administrative Agent is actually able, following the conversion of the Dollars paid by such Guarantor into the currency for payment required by this Agreement and remittance of such currency to the place where such Obligation is payable, to apply such payment to such Obligation. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or Governmental Authority affecting such Guarantor or any Borrower, including but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of such Guarantor’s or any Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where such Guarantor or any Borrower is located.
SECTION 10.09
Subordination
. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of each Borrower owing to each Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guarantee Agreement, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations;
provided
,
however
, that the foregoing subordination shall not be given effect until such time as the Lender Parties shall have made a request to the Company pursuant to the second sentence of this
Section 10.09
. At any time any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Lender Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lender Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such under this Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 10.10
Stay of Acceleration
. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lender Parties.
SECTION 10.11
Condition of Borrower
. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as Guarantor requires, and that none of the Lender Parties has any duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Lender Parties at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor (Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
SECTION 10.12
Releases
. At such time as the Loans, the amounts owed to any Issuing Bank in respect of Letter of Credit and the other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and either no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or each outstanding Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized so that it is fully secured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. The Guarantee of any Guarantor hereunder shall be released to the extent
(and in the manner) expressly set forth in Section 5.09 or in the event such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03
Requests for Borrowings
. To request a Borrowing of the Term Loan on the Closing Date, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower shall irrevocably notify the Administrative Agent of such request by (A) telephone or (B) a written Borrowing Request in a form attached hereto as
Exhibit C
or such other form as may be approved by the Administrative Agent (including any form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower;
provided
that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by hand delivery or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01(b) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request. Each such Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than Noon (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of the borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or any conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of the borrowing of Base Rate Loans;
provided
,
however
, that if such Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than noon four Business Days prior to the requested date of such borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the applicable Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the applicable Lenders. Each Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the applicable Borrower on behalf of whom the Borrowing Request is being submitted;
(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, conversion or continuation;
(iii) the date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) whether such Borrowing, conversion or continuation is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
(v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;
(vi) with respect to the initial borrowing of the Term Loan on the Closing Date, the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06;
(vii) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting the initial borrowing of the Term Loan, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans; and
(viii) the Type of Loans to be borrowed (in the case of the initial borrowing of the Term Loan on the Closing Date) or to which existing Loans are to be converted.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then, the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. In the case of a failure to timely request a conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing or conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Loans. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(a) Each Lender shall make the portion of the Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage or other percentage provided for herein. The Administrative Agent will make the Term Loan available to Mylan on the Closing Date by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by Mylan.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of the borrowing in paragraph (a) of this Section that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Mylan a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the borrowing on the Closing Date available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Mylan severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Mylan to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing or (ii) in the case of Mylan, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

provided
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by promissory notes. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender promissory notes payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent.

provided
that a notice of prepayment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or the occurrence of any other specified event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of (x) any Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and (y) any Base Rate Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

plus
the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus
the Applicable Rate.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under clauses (h) or (i) of Article VII or (y) if any principal of or interest on the Term Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of the Term Loan, 2%
plus
the rate otherwise applicable to the Term
Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, upon the request of the Required Lenders, 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section (the “
Default Rate
”).
(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VII);
provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of the Loans, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

The applicable Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.13
Alternate Rate of Interest
. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period (in each case with respect to clause (a), the “
Impacted Loans
”); or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or transmission by electronic communication in accordance with Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and such Borrowing shall be converted to or continued on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a Base Rate Borrowing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in this section, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrowers and the Required Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under
clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers written notice thereof. Upon the Administrative Agent’s election to establish an alternative rate of interest pursuant to this paragraph, the Company may revoke any pending request for a conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans without payment of any amount specified in Section 2.15, provided that such repayment is effected promptly upon receipt of such notice.
SECTION 2.14
Increased Costs
.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material in the context of its making of, and participation in, extensions of credit under this Agreement, then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender determines in good faith that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon the request of such
Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days (or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Lender) after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 135 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further
that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 135-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) A Lender’s claim for additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of customers of such Lender that such Lender considers, in its reasonable discretion, to be similarly situated as the Company.
SECTION 2.15
Break Funding Payments
. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense (excluding loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender may be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (and excluding any Applicable Rate), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days (or such later date as may be agreed by the applicable Lender) after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.16
Taxes
.
(a)
Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes
. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws (as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or Loan Party) to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required, (B) such Loan Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties
. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c)

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Party to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Loan Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, as applicable, under this clause (ii).
(d)

Upon request by the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes on amounts payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Loan Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.16, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Company, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Company or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)
Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation
.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax (other than withholding Tax imposed by the United Kingdom) with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or the taxing authorities of a jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation either (A) set forth in Section 2.16(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below or (B) required by applicable law other than the Code or the taxing authorities of the jurisdiction pursuant to such applicable law to comply with the requirements for exemption or reduction of withholding tax in that jurisdiction) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W 9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company or any Affiliate within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E (or successor form); or
(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)
Treatment of Certain Refunds
. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such
Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided
that each Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to such Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(ii) A UK Treaty Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement is entered into and (x) holds a passport under the UK Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to any Loans it may make under this Agreement, shall set out its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the relevant Assignment and Assumption.
(iii) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of Tax residence in accordance with paragraph (h)(i) or paragraph (h)(ii) above, the UK Borrower shall make the UK Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement or, if later, thirty (30) Business Days before the first interest payment is due to such Lender and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing,
provided
that if the UK Borrower has made the UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:

(B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for Tax within sixty (60) days of the date of such UK Borrower DTTP Filing;
(and, in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender in writing), then such Lender and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for the UK Borrower to obtain
authorization to make that payment under this Agreement without UK withholding or deduction.
(iv) Nothing in this Section 2.16 shall require a UK Treaty Lender to:
(A) register under the UK Treaty Passport Scheme;
(B) apply the UK Treaty Passport Scheme to the Term Loan if it has so registered; or
(C) file UK Treaty forms if it has included an indication to the effect that it wishes the UK Treaty Passport Scheme to apply to this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.16(h)(i) or Section 2.16(h)(ii) (UK Treaty Passport Scheme confirmation) and the UK Borrower making that payment has not complied with its obligations under Section 2.16(h)(iii).

(i)
Lender Confirmation
. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered shall confirm whether or not it is a Qualifying Lender and, if it is a UK Treaty Lender, shall provide the UK Borrower notice to that effect, in each case within 10 Business Days of this Agreement. Each Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption shall indicate in the Assignment and Assumption whether or not it is a Qualifying Lender and if it is a UK Treaty Lender, shall include an indication to that effect in the Assignment and Assumption.

(ii) Where a Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iii) Any reference in this Section 2.16(k) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994).
(iv) In relation to any supply made by a Lender or the Administrative Agent to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Administrative Agent, that party shall promptly provide such Lender or Administrative Agent with details of that party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

SECTION 2.17
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs
.
(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably based on the amount thereof among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably based on the amount thereof among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.
(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans;
provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant in accordance with Section 9.04. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.17 or 9.03, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payments.
SECTION 2.18
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders
.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. Any Lender claiming reimbursement of such costs and expenses shall deliver to the Company a certificate setting forth such costs and expenses in reasonable detail which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) If (1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, (2) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (3) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (4) any Lender fails to grant a consent in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 9.02 for which the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender is required but the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, (5) if any Lender is prohibited under applicable Law from making or maintaining, or is not licensed to make or maintain, the Term Loan or other applicable extensions of credit to New Mylan (provided that New Mylan is incorporated in a Permitted Jurisdiction) in accordance with this Agreement or does not consent to any request by the Company to include additional jurisdiction (of incorporation, tax residence or otherwise) as a “Permitted Jurisdiction” that is consented to by the Required Lenders or (6) if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, but excluding the consents required by, Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided
that:
(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.04 (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent);
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) in the case of an assignment resulting from an event described in clause (4) above, (A) the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent and (B) after giving effect to such assignment (and any other assignments made in connection therewith), each Lender shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent;
(v) in the case of an assignment resulting from a circumstance described in clause (5) above, (A) the applicable assignee shall be permitted under Law and licensed to make and maintain the Term Loan to New Mylan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (B) after giving effect to such assignment (and to any other assignments made in connection therewith), each Lender shall be permitted under applicable Law and licensed to make and maintain the Term Loan under this Agreement; and
(vi) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

.
SECTION 2.20
Judgment Currency
. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from any Borrower hereunder in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “
specified currency
”) into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with such other currency at the Administrative Agent’s main New York City office on the Business Day preceding that on which final, non-appealable judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the
sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds (a) the sum originally due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lenders as a result of allocations of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender under Section 2.17, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrower.
SECTION 2.21

(a) Substantially concurrently with (or at any time after) the effectiveness of the Specified Acquisition Transaction (but solely to the extent New Mylan is not a Successor Borrower hereunder), Mylan may (upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or such shorter time as the Administrative Agent may agree)), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.21(a), designate New Mylan as a Borrower hereunder to receive Loans and make Borrowings hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America as its agent and authorizes Bank of America to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
(b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall
be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or by the other Loan Documents),
provided
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(f) (i) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company and (unless an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII shall have occurred and be continuing) with the consent of the Company (which consent of the Company shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “
Resignation Effective Date
”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(ii) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent, and the Company in consultation with the Lenders shall, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Required Lenders in consultation with the Company shall, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States;
provided
that, without the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Required Lenders shall not be permitted to select a successor that is not a U.S. financial institution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii) or a U.S. branch of a foreign bank described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A). If no such successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “
Removal Effective Date
”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(iii) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Loan Parties to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
(g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
(h) [Reserved].
(i) The Lenders irrevocably agree that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be required by Section 9.02) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee pursuant to this paragraph (i). The Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee.
(j) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 9.02
Waivers; Amendments
.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (with respect to such Loan Document), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided
, that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of any Default shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of the Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate;
provided
that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.12(c) or to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth therein, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of the Term Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section, the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender or (vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under any Guarantee Agreement (other than pursuant to the proviso set forth in Section 5.09(a)), without the consent of each Lender;
provided further
that (1) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Company may, with the consent of the other but without the consent of any other Person, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, typographical or technical error, defect or inconsistency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder which does not require the consent of each affected Lender (it being understood that Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of less than all affected Lenders).
SECTION 9.03
Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver
.
(a) Each Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and regulatory counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, regulatory counsel and one additional counsel for each party in the event of a conflict of interest), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Term Loan made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loan.

Indemnitee
”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Indemnitees (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and one additional counsel for each Indemnitee in the event of a conflict of interest), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) to the extent relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any
property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether brought by a Borrower, its equityholders or any third party;
provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or controlling Persons (such persons, the “
Related Indemnitee Parties
”), (B) the material breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnitee Parties or (C) any dispute solely among Indemnitees (other than any dispute involving claims against the Administrative Agent and any Arranger, in each case in its capacity as such) and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates. In addition, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available with respect to any settlements effected without the Company’s prior written consent.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount;
provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto and any Indemnitee on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, the Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof;
provided
, that this clause (d) shall in no way limit each Borrower’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9.03. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor;
provided
,
however
, that an Indemnitee shall promptly refund any amount received under this Section 9.03 to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 9.03.
SECTION 9.04
Successors and Assigns
.
(a)
Successors and Assigns Generally
.

(b)
Assignments by Lenders
. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan at the time owing to it);
provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)
Minimum Amounts
.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, once New Mylan has become a Designated Borrower or Successor Borrower,
provided
that (x) until the interpretation of the term “public” (as referred to in Article 4.1(1) of the Capital Requirements Regulation (EU 575/2013)) has been published by the competent authority, the value of the rights assigned or transferred is at least €100,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) or (y) as soon as the interpretation of the term “public” has been published by the competent authority, the Lender is not considered to be part of the public on the basis of such interpretation.
(ii)
Proportionate Amounts
. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Term Loan being assigned;
(iii)
Required Consents
. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless either (x) an Event of Default pursuant to clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) the assignment is to a Lender or its Affiliate;
provided
that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of the Term Loan.
(iv)
Assignment and Assumption
. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500;
provided
,
however
, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, confirm its status pursuant to Section 2.16(i) and, if applicable, deliver its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence pursuant to Section 2.16(h)(ii).
(v)
No Assignment to Loan Parties
. No such assignment shall be made to any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.
(vi)
No Assignment to Natural Persons
. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
(vii)
Certain Additional Payments
. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of the Term Loan in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided
, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.
(c)
Register
. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) and interest thereon of the Term Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “
Register
”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)
Participations
. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or any Borrower or any of a Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “
Participant
”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan owing to it);
provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 9.02(b)(i) that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender,
provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.17 and 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and interest thereon of each participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under this Agreement (the “
Participant Register
”);
provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)
Limitations upon Participant Rights
. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or results from a Change in Law after the sale of such participation. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.
(f)
Certain Pledges
. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank;
provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05
Survival
. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the borrowing of the Term Loan on the Closing Date, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Term Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Term Loan, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION 9.06
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness
. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07
Severability
. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08
Right of Setoff
.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any of and all the Obligations of such Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
(b) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff
or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.09
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

ARTICLE X
Guarantee
SECTION 10.01
Guarantee
. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and their permitted indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable Federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 10.02). Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 10.01 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party hereunder. The guarantee contained in this Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash. Except as provided in Section 10.12, no payment made by any of the Guarantors, any other Loan Party or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X (Guarantee) the guarantee and other obligations of any Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands expressed to be assumed in this Article X (Guarantee) shall be deemed not to be assumed by such Guarantor organized under the laws of the Netherlands to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 2:98c of the Dutch Civil Code or any other applicable financial assistance rules under any relevant jurisdiction (the “
Prohibition
”) and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly acknowledged that the relevant Guarantors organized under the laws of the Netherlands will continue to guarantee all such obligations which, if included, do not constitute a violation of the Prohibition.
SECTION 10.02
Right of Contribution
. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.03. The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 10.03
No Subrogation
. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, no Guarantor shall seek to enforce any right of subrogation in respect of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor under this Article X, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties by the Loan Parties on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing agreement by the Guarantor shall operate as a waiver of any subrogation rights.
SECTION 10.04
Amendments, etc., with Respect to the Obligations
. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Loan Party and without notice to or further assent by any Loan Party, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem reasonably advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.
SECTION 10.05
Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party upon the guarantee contained in this Article X or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article X; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article X; and all dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Article X. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article X, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article X, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings
SECTION 10.06
Reinstatement
. Subject to Section 5.09 and Section 10.12, this Guarantee Agreement is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee Agreement are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee Agreement shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any of the Lender Parties exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any of the Lender Parties in their discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lender Parties are in possession of or have released this Guarantee Agreement and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 10.07
Obligations Independent
. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee whether or not any Borrower or any other Person or entity is joined as a party.
SECTION 10.08
Payments
. All payments by each Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be made in the manner, at the place and in the currency for payment required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any acts of any legislative body or Governmental Authority affecting such Guarantor or any Borrower, including but not limited to, any restrictions on the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of such Guarantor’s or any Borrower’s property, or by economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where such Guarantor or any Borrower is located.
SECTION 10.09
Subordination
. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of each Borrower owing to each Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Borrower to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance
under this Guarantee Agreement, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations;
provided
,
however
, that the foregoing subordination shall not be given effect until such time as the Lender Parties shall have made a request to the Company pursuant to the second sentence of this
Section 10.09
. At any time any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Lender Parties so request, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Loan Party to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Lender Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender Parties on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such under this Guarantee Agreement.
SECTION 10.10
Stay of Acceleration
. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lender Parties.
SECTION 10.11
Condition of Borrower
. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrowers and any such other guarantor as Guarantor requires, and that none of the Lender Parties has any duty, and Guarantor is not relying on the Lender Parties at any time, to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrowers or any other guarantor (Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Lender Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
SECTION 10.12
Releases
. At such time as the Term Loan and the other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and contingent expense reimbursement obligations) shall have been paid in full, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. The Guarantee of any Guarantor hereunder shall be released to the extent (and in the manner) expressly set forth in Section 5.09 or in the event such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.1
.
(b)
Funded Purchases
.
(i) If Seller desires a purchase to be funded all or in part by the Purchasers in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request that Agent, on behalf of Conduit Purchasers or, if any Conduit Purchaser is unable or unwilling to make such purchase or if no such Conduit Purchaser exists with respect to a Group, the related Committed Purchaser in such Group, purchase from Seller the Asset Interest and Agent, for any Group that has a Conduit Purchaser, on behalf of Conduit Purchasers or, if any Conduit Purchaser is unable or unwilling to make such purchase or, in the case of any Group that does not have a Conduit Purchaser, the related Committed Purchaser in such Conduit Purchaser’s Group, shall make a purchase (each such payment being a “
Funded Purchase
”) in an amount equal in each instance to the lesser of: (i) the amount requested by Seller to be funded as a Funded Purchase under
Section 1.2(a)
, and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause any of (after giving effect to
|
|

|
A&R Receivables Purchase Agreement
|
such Funded Purchase and any other Funded Purchase on such day) (a) in the case of each Conduit Purchaser, such Conduit Purchaser’s Total Investment, plus the Investment of each other Purchaser in such Group to exceed such Group’s Group Limit or, in the case of each Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Total Investment to exceed such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (b) the aggregate Purchasers’ Total Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, or (c) the sum of the aggregate Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves to exceed the Net Pool Balance at such time (such amount being the “
Funded Purchase Price
”). Each Committed Purchaser hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Funded Purchases deemed to be so requested by Seller above if its related Conduit Purchaser, if applicable, in such Committed Purchaser’s Group is unable or unwilling to make such Funded Purchase, so long as its Investment after giving effect to such Funded Purchase (and any other Funded Purchase to be made on such date) would not exceed its Commitment or cause the Purchasers’ Total Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment. At no time shall a Conduit Purchaser that is not a Committed Purchaser have any obligation or commitment to make any Funded Purchase. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, at no time shall a Committed Purchaser have an obligation to make any Funded Purchase on or after its related Commitment Termination Date.
(ii) Seller may, subject to the requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any Funded Purchase hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation ratably to the applicable affected LOC Issuer or LOC Issuers (ratably, based on the Stated Amount of the Letters of Credit issued by each such LOC Issuer) and the related Committed Purchasers (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by each such Committed Purchaser to the related LOC Issuer in connection with the applicable LOC Purchase) pursuant to
Section 1.6
.
(iii) In addition, in the event Seller fails to reimburse any applicable LOC Issuer and each related Committed Purchaser, as applicable, for the full amount of any drawing under any related Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor at such time), in accordance with
Section 1.6
and the terms and conditions of the related Letter of Credit, then Seller shall automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder) be deemed to have requested a Funded Purchase from the Group or Groups related to such Letter of Credit in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of,
clause (i)
above on such date in an amount equal to the total amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth herein and therein, in the case of any Group that has a Conduit Purchaser, the Conduit Purchasers in each applicable Group at their sole and exclusive discretion, or, in the case of any Group that does not have a Conduit Purchaser at such time, the related Committed Purchaser shall make such Funded Purchase in accordance with such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the applicable Purchaser Agent to be distributed (ratably) to the affected LOC Issuer and related Committed Purchaser, as applicable, in satisfaction of Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to

clause (i)
above. If any such Conduit Purchaser is unwilling or unable for any reason to make such Funded Purchase, the related Committed Purchaser in the applicable Group shall make such Funded Purchase in accordance with such deemed purchase request in accordance with, and subject to the conditions of,
clause (i)
above and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the applicable Purchaser Agent to be distributed (ratably) to the affected LOC Issuer and related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, in satisfaction of Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to
Section 1.6
, in each case only to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by such Committed Purchasers at such time, as if such Funded Purchase was requested in accordance with
clause (i)
above (including that such Funded Purchase will not cause the applicable Committed Purchaser’s Investment to exceed its Commitment). In the event that any such Funded Purchase is not made under this
clause (iii)
because the conditions precedent thereto set forth herein (including in
Sections 1.1(b)
and
5.2
) have not been satisfied with respect thereto, the applicable Purchaser Agent shall give notice thereof to Servicer.
(iv) Any Funded Purchase plus any LOC Purchase made pursuant to this
Section 1.1
on any day shall be in an amount at least equal to $40,000,000 for any Funded Purchase or LOC Purchase made when the Purchasers’ Total Investment is zero before giving effect to such Funded Purchase or LOC Purchase and at least $5,000,000
for any Funded Purchase thereafter (unless such Funded Purchase is deemed to be made under
clause (iii)
above), and, in each case (including with respect to any LOC Purchase), in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
(c)
Letter of Credit Purchases
. If Seller desires a purchase to be funded all or in part by a LOC Issuer by its issuance of standby letters of credit in such form as may be agreed to in writing by the applicable LOC Issuer and Seller from time to time (the “
Letters of Credit
”), in which each of the Committed Purchasers in the applicable LOC Group will ratably participate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including
Section 1.6
and
Section 2.6
, as applicable) upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the earlier of (i) such LOC Issuer’s related Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request the LOC Issuer to issue such Letters of Credit or to extend or renew a previously issued Letter of Credit on its behalf (each such purchase being a “
LOC Purchase
”), with an aggregate Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit equal in each instance to the lesser of: (i) the amount requested by Seller under
Sections 1.2(b)(i)
to be made as a LOC Purchase by such LOC Issuer and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause any of (after giving effect to such LOC Purchase and any Funded Purchase on such day) (A) in the case of each Conduit Purchaser, such Conduit Purchaser’s Total Investment, plus the Investment of each other Purchaser in such Group to exceed such Group’s Group Limit, or, in the case of each Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Total Investment to exceed such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (B) the then outstanding Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit issued in connection with LOC Purchases to

|
|
A&R Receivables Purchase Agreement
|
exceed $80,000,000, (C) the applicable LOC Issuance Limit for any LOC Issuer to be exceeded after giving effect to such issuance or (D) the sum of the aggregate Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves to exceed the Net Pool Balance at such time, and in each case such that, after giving effect to such LOC Purchase (and the corresponding issuance of Letter(s) of Credit) and any other expiration, reduction, cancellation or reallocation of any other outstanding Letter of Credit on or before such date (including as a result of a deemed purchase under
Section 1.6(a)(ii)(A)
), (1) the proportion of the Investment of each Committed Purchaser to the Purchasers’ Total Investment is in the same proportion as the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser to the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (2) each LOC Issuer only has LOC Participation Obligations from the Committed Purchasers in its LOC Group, (3) each Committed Purchaser only has LOC Participation Obligations to the LOC Issuer(s) in its LOC Group in proportion to its applicable Ratable Share and LOC Group Ratable Share, as applicable, and (4) solely if there is more than one LOC Issuer, in connection with such LOC Purchase, each Letter of Credit issued or otherwise extended or renewed in connection with such LOC Purchase has the same expiry date, so that each Committed Purchaser shall have the same tenor of its aggregate LOC Exposure as each other Committed Purchaser has as of such date.
In the event there is more than one LOC Issuer or Fronting LOC Issuer in connection with any LOC Purchase, Seller shall also designate how the portion of such LOC Purchase allocable to the Fronting LOC Issuers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be allocated amongst such Fronting LOC Issuers, and the parties acknowledge and agree that Seller shall allocate such portion of the LOC Purchase to any or all of the Fronting LOC Issuers and may request such Letters of Credit to be issued to any beneficiaries and on any of the applicable forms described in the preceding paragraph, it being understood that in connection with any LOC Purchase each applicable LOC Issuer may be issuing Letters of Credit on different forms and to different beneficiaries. Unless otherwise indicated in any other Group’s assumption joinder or transfer document, such new Group’s Letter of Credit will be in the form of
Annex B
. Each LOC Issuer agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (including
Section 2.6(c)
and the prior paragraph) and of the applicable Letter of Credit Applications, to issue such Letters of Credit requested by Seller hereunder only to the extent that after giving effect thereto (i) the aggregate Investment of all the Committed Purchasers in its LOC Group (after giving effect thereto, all of their other Purchases outstanding or to be funded on such date and any other LOC Purchases evidence by Letters of Credit issued by any LOC Issuer in such LOC Group on such dates) would not exceed its Commitment and (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall not cause it to exceed its LOC Issuance Limit. Each Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to participate in each LOC Purchase requested by Seller hereunder to the extent of its related Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase requested and the Commitment of such Group and so long as its Investment after giving effect to such participation in such LOC Purchase (and any other Purchase to be made on such date) would not exceed its Commitment. Such participations in each such LOC Purchase by each Committed Purchaser shall constitute an agreement by such Committed Purchaser to make a Funded Purchase under, and subject to the conditions of,
Section 1.1(b)(iii)
in the event that related Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and the
|
|
|
|
|

|
Mylan
|
|
|
A&R Receivables Purchase Agreement
|
Seller otherwise fails to fulfill its Reimbursement Obligation at such time with respect to such draw in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All such unfunded participations in LOC Purchases shall be included in the calculation of the Investment of such Committed Purchaser and shall earn the applicable fees set forth in the Fee Letter, but shall not accrue Yield. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires, is cancelled or is surrendered to the applicable LOC Issuer in accordance with its terms without being drawn (in whole or in part) or if the Stated Amount of any such Letter of Credit is irrevocably reduced, then, in such event, the foregoing Commitment to make such Funded Purchase shall expire or be proportionately reduced, as applicable, with respect to such Letter of Credit and the related Committed Purchasers, and the related Investment of such Committed Purchaser shall automatically be ratably reduced (in accordance with their participation therein hereunder) to the extent of the amount, or portion of the Stated Amount, of such Letter of Credit which has expired or been so surrendered, cancelled or reduced, as applicable, and, if applicable, deemed Purchases shall occur in accordance with
Section 1.6(a)(ii)(A)
. The aggregate Stated Amount of all such Letters of Credit purchased under each LOC Purchase made pursuant to this
Section 1.1(c)
shall be subject to
Section 1.1(b)(iv)
, and, with respect to each applicable LOC Issuer, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Receivables (other than the Seller’s title in and to the lock-box accounts related to such Pool Receivables, which shall remain with Seller subject to effective account control agreement in favor of Agent), whether now owned or existing, or thereafter arising, acquired or originated, or in which the Seller now or hereafter has any rights, and wherever so located (the assets so assigned to include not only the Pool Receivables and Related Assets existing as of the date of such Purchase but also all future Pool Receivables and the Related Assets acquired by Seller from time to time as provided in
Section 1.3
).
On any date, the Asset Interest will represent the Purchasers’ percentage ownership interest in all then outstanding Pool Receivables and all Related Assets with respect thereto (including all Collections and other proceeds), as at such date, which percentage ownership interest shall, on any date, be equal to the following fraction (expressed as a percentage):
PTI + RR
NPB
where:
|
|
|
|
PTI
|
=
|
Purchasers’ Total Investment;
|
RR
|
=
|
the Required Reserves; and
|
NPB
|
=
|
the Net Pool Balance;
|
|
|
|
in each case as of that date;
provided
that the Asset Interest will remain constant at 100% of the Net Pool Balance at all times on and after the Purchase Termination Date until the Final Payout Date. Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such percentage ownership interest in all such Pool Receivables and all such Related Assets (including all Collections and other proceeds with respect to the foregoing), for the benefit of the Purchasers, is herein called the “
Asset Interest
”.
(d)
Characterization as a Purchase and Sale; Recharacterization
. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Asset Interest to Agent for the benefit of Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge, and such purchase and sale of the Asset Interest to Agent for the benefit of Purchasers and their assigns hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes, other than federal and state income tax purposes. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the conveyance of the Asset Interest to Agent for the benefit of Purchasers is characterized by any Governmental Authority, bankruptcy trustee or any other Person as a pledge, the parties intend that Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted, and Seller does hereby grant, to Agent for the benefit of Purchasers a first priority perfected security interest to secure Seller’s obligations hereunder in all of Seller’s now or hereafter existing right, title and interest in, to and under the Asset Interest in the Pool Receivables and the Related Assets, whether now owned or existing,

thereafter arising, acquired or originated, or in which the Seller now or hereafter has any rights, and wherever so located, and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable Law. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and intends that no Purchase hereunder shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a Security. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties hereto.
(e)
Purchasers’ Limitation on Payments
. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents or Agent shall, and none of them shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) to, pay any amount to Seller as a Reinvestment under
Section 1.3
, except to the extent that Collections are available for distribution to Seller for such purpose in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of any Purchaser that is a commercial paper conduit or similar vehicle under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be payable by such Purchaser or successor or assign solely to the extent of funds received from Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or from any party to any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay such Person’s matured and maturing Commercial Paper Notes or other senior indebtedness when due. Any amount which Agent, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser is not obligated to pay pursuant to the operation of the two preceding sentences shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or Agent, as applicable, for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof.
(f)
Obligations Not Assumed
. The foregoing sale, assignment and transfer does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of Seller, Originator, Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, the Asset Interest (including the Receivables and Related Assets), all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of Seller, Originator and Servicer, as applicable.

(b)
and
(c)
above on such day) shall not be reinvested (as described below) after the then-current Commitment Termination Date for such Exiting Purchaser and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Exiting Purchaser (or, if there is more than one Exiting Purchaser on such day, pro rata for the benefit of each such Exiting Purchaser based on such Exiting Purchaser’s ratable share) and applied in accordance with

provided
, that, unless Agent or any Purchaser Agent shall request it to do so in writing during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and so long as Servicer is able, on each Business Day and on an equitable and consistent basis, to identify which funds are Collections on Pool Receivables, Servicer shall not be required to hold Collections that have been set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections, and may commingle such Collections with its own funds; it being understood that Agent, on behalf of Purchasers, or any Purchaser Agent, shall have a claim against Servicer to make payments pursuant to
Sections 1.3(c)
or

;
provided
, that, (A) if the Asset Interest expressed as a percentage of Net Pool Balance, would exceed 100% at such time, the aggregate Investment of any Purchaser would exceed such Purchaser’s Commitment or the then aggregate Purchasers’ Total Investment would exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment after giving effect to such Reinvestment, then Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall first set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of Purchasers in accordance with
Section 3.4

,
(b)
or
(d)

Section 1.3(c)
, the amount of Collections so set aside exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to reduce, as applicable,

(ii) (A) In the event that the Stated Amount of any Letter of Credit is reduced (including reduction with respect to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit due to such Letter of Credit being irrevocably returned or canceled or expiring and, in each case, not being able to be drawn upon) and, as a result of such reduction (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be made in accordance with
Section 1.13
), the proportion of the Investment of any Committed Purchaser to the Purchasers’ Total Investment is not in the same proportion as the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser is to the Purchasers’ Total Commitment at such time, then such Committed Purchaser shall at such time, and hereby shall be deemed, to purchase from the other applicable Committed Purchasers (including, if applicable, those not in its LOC Group), and such other Committed Purchasers shall at such time, and shall hereby be deemed to, sell a participation interest in a Letter of Credit issued by such other Committed Purchasers in the amount that will equalize such proportions across all Committed Purchasers and such participations. All such purchases and sales shall reduce or increase, as applicable, each affected Committed Purchaser’s Investment in the amount of such sale or purchase.
(B) If any deemed purchases of participation interests occur (or are otherwise outstanding) in accordance with
clause (ii)(A)
above, the Seller shall by the later of (I) ten (10) Business Days thereafter and (II) the next Settlement Date thereafter, reduce the Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, request a LOC Purchase or LOC Purchases hereunder, or otherwise cause the reallocation of the Investment among Groups and LOC Issuer so that after giving effect thereto: (x) each LOC Issuer only has LOC Participation Obligations from the Committed Purchasers in its LOC Group, (y) each Committed Purchaser only has LOC Participation Obligations to the LOC Issuer(s) in its LOC Group in proportion to its applicable Ratable Share and LOC Group Ratable Share, as applicable, and (z) solely if there is more than one LOC Issuer, each Letter of Credit outstanding at such time has an expiry date such that each Committed

|
Purchaser shall have the same tenor of its aggregate LOC Exposure as each other Committed Purchaser has as of such date.
(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by an LOC Issuer by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, such LOC Issuer will promptly notify the Agent, the related Purchaser Agents and Seller of such request. Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the applicable LOC Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a “
Reimbursement Obligation
”) the applicable LOC Issuer, prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each date that an amount is paid by the LOC Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “
Drawing Date
”), in an amount equal to the amount so paid by such LOC Issuer. In the event Seller fails to reimburse the applicable LOC Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) with respect to such reimbursement failure, on the applicable Drawing Date, such LOC Issuer will promptly notify the related Purchaser Agent of each LOC Group Participant thereof, and Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Funded Purchase be made ratably by the related LOC Group Participants to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit in accordance with
Section 1.1(b)(iii)
. Any notice given by an LOC Issuer pursuant to this
Section 1.6
may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing by such LOC Issuer, the related Purchaser Agent or Agent;
provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(c) Each applicable Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify each of its related LOC Group Participant’s of such Funded Purchase request and each such LOC Group Participant shall pay to the applicable LOC Issuer an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as applicable, whereupon such applicable LOC Group Participants shall each be deemed to have made a Funded Purchase in such amount;
provided
that with respect to any Defaulting Purchaser that is a related LOC Group Participant that fails to make such deemed Funded Purchase or any portion thereof, the applicable amount of funds then on deposit in its related Cash Collateral Account necessary to cover such shortfall shall be withdrawn by the applicable Purchaser Agent and paid over to the applicable LOC Issuer to make such Funded Purchase on such date for such purpose. If any Committed Purchaser so notified fails to make available to the applicable LOC Issuer the amount of such LOC Group Participant’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Committed Purchaser’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Committed Purchaser makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date plus 2.00% and (ii) at a rate
per annum
equal to the Bank Rate plus 2.00% on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Each LOC Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date affecting it, but failure of an LOC Issuer to give any such notice on a Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any related Committed Purchaser to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Committed Purchaser from its obligation under this
clause (c)
;
provided
that such Committed Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in
subclauses (i)
and
(ii)
above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice

from the applicable LOC Issuer, Agent or the applicable Purchaser Agent of a drawing. Each Exiting Purchaser’s obligation under this
Section 1.6
as a LOC Group Participant shall terminate to the extent that its LOC Participation Obligations have been cash collateralized in accordance with
Section 1.3(c)(iv)
. In addition, each Committed Purchaser’s obligation under this
Section 1.6
as a LOC Group Participant shall continue until any of the following events have occurred: (A) the related LOC Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued by any LOC Issuer hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled and the Purchase Termination Date has occurred; and (C) all Persons (other than Seller and Servicer) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to any of the Letters of Credit issued hereunder and the Purchase Termination Date has occurred.
SECTION 1.7
Repayment of Letter of Credit Participation Advances
.

Section 1.6
or (ii) in payment of Yield on the Funded Purchases made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the applicable LOC Issuer will, subject to
Section 2.6.
pay to the applicable Committed Purchaser, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such Committed Purchaser in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by such LOC Issuer; it being understood that such LOC Issuer shall retain the ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any related Committed Purchaser.
(b) If an LOC Issuer is required at any time to return to Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Seller to such LOC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit issued by it in reimbursement of a payment made under any such Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon or with respect thereto, each Committed Purchaser shall, on demand of such LOC Issuer, forthwith return to such LOC Issuer the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so irrevocably returned by such LOC Issuer plus interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the extent such interest is payable or such other Person to whom such payment would be returned.
SECTION 1.8
Documentation
.

Each Purchaser’s Investment shall be allocated to each Rate Tranche by related Purchaser Agent to reflect the funding sources for each portion of the Asset Interest, so that:

(b) there will be one or more Rate Tranches, selected by each Purchaser Agent, reflecting the portion, if any, of the Asset Interest representing, and funded by, the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit issued by the related LOC Issuer; and
(c) there will be a Rate Tranche, selected by each Purchaser Agent, equal to the excess of each Purchaser’s Investment over the aggregate amounts allocated at such time pursuant to
clause (a)
above, which Rate Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Asset Interest funded or maintained by Commercial Paper Notes.
The applicable Purchaser Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, declare any Yield Period applicable to any Purchaser’s Investment to be terminated and allocate the portion of such Purchaser’s Investment allocated to such Yield Period to one or more other Yield Periods and Yield Rates as such Purchaser Agent shall select.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof (including any purchase by Agent, any Secured Party, or any Affiliate of any of them) in accordance with the terms of this
Section 10.2
for consideration which is insufficient, after payment of all related costs and expenses of every kind, to satisfy the Obligations, (1) such disposition shall not act as, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any rights by Agent or Secured Parties and Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have a claim for such deficiency and (2) Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any such deficiency.

(I) dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof at a public disposition;
(II) dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof at a private disposition, in which event such notice shall also contain a summary of the material terms of the proposed disposition, and Seller shall have until the time of such proposed disposition during which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a Person willing, ready and able to acquire the Collateral on terms at least as favorable to Seller and the Secured Parties, and if such an acquirer is so procured, then Agent shall dispose of the Collateral to the acquirer so procured;

(IV) dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof to any Secured Party or any Affiliate thereof at a public disposition;
(V) at a public disposition, bid for and acquire, unless prohibited by applicable Law, free from any redemption right, the Collateral or any part thereof, and, if Secured Parties are then the holders of any Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, Agent on behalf of Secured Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Agent on behalf of Secured Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable and as permissible and required under the Transaction Documents. Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, upon so acquiring the Collateral or any part thereof shall be entitled to hold or otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by applicable Law; or
(VI) enforce any other remedy available to Agent on behalf of Secured Parties at Law or in equity.
From time to time Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed disposition of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above and may retain the Collateral until such time as the proposed disposition occurs if, in the sole discretion of Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such disposition may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such disposition may take place. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted by Law, Agent shall not be obligated to make any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof notwithstanding any prior notice of a proposed disposition. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Seller, Servicer, Originator and each party obligated under the Obligations to the extent permitted by Law, shall be required in connection with any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, except for the notice described in this
clause (ii)
.
In case of any disposition by Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, the Collateral so disposed may be retained by Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties until the disposition price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Agent nor Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so disposed. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so disposed may be again disposed.
After deducting all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented costs or expenses of every kind (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Agent

The excess, if any, shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Neither Agent nor Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the dispositions of the Collateral at any private or public disposition that complies with the provisions of this
Section 10.2(e)
.
Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Agent on behalf of Secured Parties in connection with any Purchase Termination Date, none of Seller, Servicer, Originator or Performance Guarantor shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, nor shall Seller, Servicer, Originator or Performance Guarantor be deemed to be the owner of any interest in any Obligations, or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to itself or any other party until the Obligations have been paid to Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and are fully and indefeasibly performed and discharged.
Agent shall have no duty to prepare or process the Collateral for disposition.

SECTION 8.15
Binding Terms in Other Transaction Documents
. Originator hereby makes for the benefit of Buyer, Agent, each Purchaser, each Purchaser Agent, each LOC
Issuer, each Enhancement Provider, each Liquidity Provider and any other agent for Purchaser, each of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements, and accepts all other binding terms, including the waiver of any rights, which are made applicable to Originator in any other Transaction Document, each as if the same (together with any provisions incorporated therein by reference) were set forth in full herein.
SECTION 8.16
Severability
. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 8.17
Effect of Agreement
. This Agreement amends and restates that certain Purchase and Contribution Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2012 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “
Prior Agreement
”), among the parties hereto. This Agreement shall not effect a novation of any of the obligations of the parties to the Prior Agreement, but instead shall be merely a restatement and, when applicable, an amendment of the terms governing such obligations. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement in accordance with their terms, the terms and provisions of the Prior Agreement shall, subject to this paragraph, be superseded hereby in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, (a) all indemnification obligations of the Originator under the Prior Agreement shall survive this Agreement, (b) all sales and contributions of Receivables and Related Assets under the Prior Agreement by the Originator to the Buyer are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall survive this Agreement and (c) the security interests granted by the Originator pursuant to
Section 8.14
of the Prior Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive this Agreement as security for all obligations of the Originator under the Prior Agreement until such obligations have been finally and fully paid and performed. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Prior Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and or delivered in connection with the Prior Agreement.
