Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, are acting as representatives (the “ Representatives ”).

The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated as of the Delivery Date (as defined in Section 2(a)), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture (such indenture, so supplemented, the “ Indenture ”) to be dated as of the Delivery Date, among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “ Trustee ”).

You have advised the Company and the Guarantor that you will offer and sell the Securities purchased from them hereunder in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement as soon as you deem advisable.

This Agreement and the Indenture are referred to herein collectively as the “ Operative Agreements ” and, together with the Notes, the “ Operative Documents .”

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the Incorporated Documents as of the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or the issue date of such Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, respectively, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), after the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, respectively, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference. Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 19.

This is to confirm the agreement between the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters concerning the issue, offer and sale of the Securities.

(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless, each of the Company and the Guarantor, its officers and directors, agents, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or the Guarantor or their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application, or

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein and described in Section 7(e), and shall reimburse the Company and the Guarantor and any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantor or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company, the Guarantor or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided , however , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided , further , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided , however , that the Underwriters shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons who may be subject to

 

21


liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Company under this Section 7, if the Underwriters shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and the Guarantor and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons, and the reasonable fees and expenses of a single separate counsel shall be paid, jointly and severally, by the Company and the Guarantor. No indemnifying party shall:

(i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or

(ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof:

(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, or

(ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

 

22


The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm that the statements with respect to the delivery of the Securities set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the third paragraph, the second and third sentences in the sixth paragraph, the seventh paragraph and the allocation table under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantor by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof.

8. Defaulting Underwriters .

If, on the Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the total aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting

 

23


Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule I hereto; provided , however , that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any Securities on such Delivery Date if the total aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities which it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase on such Delivery Date, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, the total aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters do not elect to purchase on such Delivery Date the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company and the Guarantor, except that the Company and the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 4 and 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “ Underwriter ” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, pursuant to this Section 8, purchases any Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes in the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantor or counsel to the Underwriters, may be necessary.

9. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 5(m) and (n) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

10. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company and the Guarantor shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement or if the Company or the Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees and expenses of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriters. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

Furthermore, each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantor on related or other matters). Each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company and the Guarantor, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

EXHIBIT A

OPINION OF WILLKIE FARR & GALLAGHER LLP

(i) The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; any required filing of the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus and any supplements thereto pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations has been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations; to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and no notice from the Commission that objects to or would prevent its use has been issued, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission, and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Trust Indenture Act and the respective rules thereunder;

(ii) The statements contained in each of the Prospectus Supplement and the prospectus supplement included in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Notes and the Guarantees” and in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Description of Debt Securities and Guarantees” insofar as they purport to summarize the provisions of the Indenture and the Securities are accurate and complete in all material respects;

(iii) The Indenture, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, the Company and the Guarantor, constitutes a legally valid and binding agreement of the Company and the Guarantor enforceable against the Company and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, subject to general principles of equity and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act;

(iv) The Notes, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and the Trustee, have been issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and, when delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, subject to general principles of equity and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(v) The Guarantee, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Guarantor, has been issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes on which it is endorsed, has been executed in accordance with the Indenture and when delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, will constitute a legally valid and

 

Ex-A-1


binding obligation of the Guarantor, entitled to the benefits of the Indenture and enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with their terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, subject to general principles of equity and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) or by an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(vi) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Indenture, the issuance of the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or asset of the Company pursuant to, (i) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the terms of any of the agreements listed in Schedule III hereto or (ii) any U.S. statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company or the Guarantor of any U.S. court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantor or any of their respective properties; and, except as has been obtained under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, and such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations as may be required by the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state of the United States, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with, any such U.S. court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Indenture by the Company or Guarantor and the issuance of the Securities and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(vii) The submission of the Guarantor to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in The City of New York, New York (each, a “New York court”) and the appointment of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. as its authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 15 hereof and similar provisions in the other Operative Agreements, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, the Guarantor and any other parties to such agreements (including, as applicable, the Underwriters), are legal, valid and binding under the laws of the State of New York; and service of process in the manner set forth in Section 15 hereof is effective under the laws of the State of New York to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Guarantor;

(viii) The statements in each of the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they purport to constitute summaries of matters of United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly summarize such matters described therein in all material respects; and

(ix) Each of the Company and the Guarantor is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may state that its opinion is limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of New York typically applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Operative Documents, and in respect of matters of fact, upon certificates of officers of the Company or the

Guarantor.

OPINION OF VANEPS KUNNEMAN VANDOORNE

For purposes of this annex, “Documents” shall mean the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Indenture, the Notes and this Agreement.

(i) The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of Curaçao as a private company with limited liability ( besloten vennootschap ) and has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus. The Company has been duly registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Curaçao.

According to the stock register of the Company, (i) Teva Pharmaceuticals Europe B.V. owns all issued, outstanding and fully paid-up A shares in the Company and (ii) Teva UK Holdings Limited owns all issued, outstanding and fully paid-up B shares in the Company, to the best of the opining counsel’s knowledge based on the Directors’ Certificate, free and clear of any perfected security interest and any other security interests, claims, liens or encumbrances; although not constituting conclusive evidence thereof our assumption is supported by the contents of the Shareholders Register, the Articles and the Deed of Transfer, as referred to in Schedule 2.

(iii) The Company has not been wound up ( ontbonden ) nor has it been declared bankrupt ( failliet verklaard ) and the Company has not been granted a (provisional) suspension of payment (( voorlopige ) surséance van betaling ), as indicated by the Extracts as defined in Schedule 2.

Ex-B-1


(vii) The Documents have been duly executed and delivered for and on behalf of the Company.

(viii) Each of the Documents is in proper form for its enforcement in the Curaçao courts.

(ix) It is not necessary in order to ensure the validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Documents against the Company in the Curaçao courts, that the Documents or any other document in connection therewith be filed, registered or recorded with governmental, judicial or public bodies or authorities in Curaçao or that any other action be taken in Curaçao, except for registration (date stamping) by the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao of the Documents if and when such Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts.

(x) The Company has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of Curaçao.

(xi) The execution by the Company of the Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein do not conflict with or result in a violation of (i) any provision of the Articles of the Company or (ii) any existing provision of, or rule or regulation under, Curaçao law, applicable to companies generally or to the best of the opining counsel’s knowledge (iii) of any judgment, decree or order of any Curaçao court or governmental agency of or in Curaçao applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets.

(xii) The Company has been granted a general exemption from Curaçao foreign exchange control regulations by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten as well as a business license and an exemption from article 45 of the National Ordinance on the Supervision of Banking and Credit Institutions 1994 (NG 1994, no. 4) issued by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten with respect to the issuance of notes, which exemptions and licenses are in full force and effect, based on the Directors’ Certificate. No other consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification, filing or registration with, any governmental body or agency in Curaçao or any Curaçao person having due authority over the Company, is required for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or the execution, issue, sale or delivery of the notes, except as set forth in paragraph 9 of this opinion.

(xiii) The obligations of the Company under each of the Documents will rank at least pari passu with all other present or future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company, except for those obligations which have been accorded preferential rights by law and those obligations which are subject to rights of set-off or counterclaim.

(xiv) The choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Documents is a valid choice of law and such law would accordingly be applied by the Curaçao courts if the Documents or any claim thereunder comes under their jurisdiction upon proper proof of the relevant provisions of such law.

(xv) The submission by the Company in the Documents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state court sitting in New York City and the irrevocable appointment

 

Ex-B-2


in the Documents by the Company of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. as agent to accept service of process in respect of the jurisdiction of the federal or state sitting in New York City are valid and legally binding on the Company. The waivers by the Company of any immunity and objection to the venue of the proceedings in a New York court are legal, valid and binding.

(xvi) In proceedings undertaken in Curaçao, neither the Company nor any of its assets is immune from legal action or proceeding (including, without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, execution or other legal process).

(xvii) A final judgment rendered by a New York court would not automatically be enforceable in Curaçao. However, a final judgment obtained in a New York court and not rendered by default, which is not subject to appeal or other means of contestation and is enforceable in New York with respect to the payment obligations of the Company under the Documents would generally be upheld and be regarded by a Curaçao court of competent jurisdiction as conclusive evidence when asked to render a judgment in accordance with that judgment by a New York court, without substantive re-examination or re-litigation of the merits of the subject matter thereof, if that judgment has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with the principles of natural justice, its content and enforcement do not conflict with Curaçao public policy and it has not been rendered in proceedings of a penal or revenue or other public law nature.

(xviii) A judgment rendered by a Curaçao court against the Company with respect to its payment obligations under any of the Documents would, if requested, be expressed in the currency in which that money is payable.

(xix) It is not necessary in order to enable any Underwriter, the Trustee or any holder of Notes to enforce in Curaçao its rights under any of the Documents, or merely by reason of the execution of the applicable Documents by any Underwriter or the Trustee and the performance of its obligations thereunder, that any such person be licensed, registered, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Curaçao.

(xx) Under the laws of Curaçao the Trustee will not be deemed resident, domiciled or carrying on business in Curaçao solely by reason of the execution, performance or enforcement of the Documents.

(xxi) No capital duty or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties are payable by the Company or the Underwriters and no capital gains, income, withholding or other taxes are payable by any of the Underwriters (assuming that such Underwriters are not subject to Curaçao taxation for reasons other than as Underwriters with regard to the Notes and assuming that the holders and beneficial owners of the Notes are not individuals residing in the European Union) in Curaçao in connection with or as a result of the execution, issue, sale and delivery of the Notes in the manner contemplated in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and the Underwriting Agreement or the sale and delivery of Notes to the Underwriters in the manner contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

(xxii) Save for (i) a nominal stamp tax amounting to ANG 10 (USD 5.60) per page which will be due in respect of the Documents if and when those Documents are executed

 

Ex-B-3


in Curaçao and, if they are not executed in Curaçao, if and when those Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts or registered in Curaçao (ii) a registration tax of ANG 5 (USD 2.80) per document which will be due for each Document, respectively, when Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts or are to be registered with (date stamped by) the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao, no similar taxes or charges of any kind are payable in Curaçao in respect of the execution of any of the Documents or the enforcement or admissibility in evidence thereof in the courts of Curaçao (except for court fees payable in connection with litigation in the courts of Curaçao in respect of any of the Documents). As to the requirements of the aforementioned registration with (date stamping by) the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao, we refer to opinion paragraph 9 above.

(xxiii) Neither the Underwriters nor the Trustee will be subject to Curaçao taxation due to the mere fact of their acting as underwriters pursuant to and in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and as trustee pursuant to and in accordance with the Indenture, respectively, and are, by solely acting as Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and as trustee under the Indenture, respectively, not to be regarded as domiciled or carrying on business in Curaçao. None of the Underwriters nor the Trustee will be required to register or qualify to do business in Curaçao as a result of the offering of the Notes or the execution of the Underwriting Agreement or the Indenture or otherwise because of any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(xxiv) To the best of the opining counsel’s knowledge, no legal or governmental proceedings are pending or threatened in Curaçao or any political subdivision thereof to which the Company is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company is subject which, if determined adversely to the Company, would result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect, or which seeks to restrain, enjoin, prevent the consummation of or otherwise challenge the issuance or sale of the Notes to be sold hereunder or the consummation of the other transactions described in each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”.

(xxv) To the best of the opining counsel’s knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any of (i) the organizational documents of the Company, or (ii) of any statute or regulation of Curaçao or of any judgment, decree or order of any Curaçao court or governmental agency of or in Curaçao applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets.

Such counsel shall additionally have furnished to the Underwriters a written statement, addressed to the Underwriters and dated such Delivery Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that, although such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (i) nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that would lead such counsel to believe that on the Effective Time the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus as of its date and on the Delivery Date included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to the financial statements and other financial information or financial data included therein) and (ii) such counsel has no reason to believe that, as of the Execution Time, the documents specified in a schedule to such counsel’s written statement, consisting of those included in the Disclosure Package and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, when taken together as a whole, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. With respect to such statements, such counsel may state that its belief is based upon its participation in the preparation of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and documents incorporated therein by reference, certificates of officers of the Guarantor and of state authorities and discussion of the contents thereof with officers of the Guarantor, but is without independent check or verification except as specified.

sell $700,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”), which Notes are to be guaranteed by the Guarantor (the “ Guarantee ” and, together with the Notes, the “ Securities ”), to the underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (individually, each an “ Underwriter ” and collectively, the “ Underwriters ”), for whom Barclays Capital Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, are acting as representatives (the “ Representatives ”).

The Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, to be dated as of the Delivery Date (as defined in Section 2(a)), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture (such indenture, so supplemented, the “ Indenture ”) to be dated as of the Delivery Date, among the Company, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “ Trustee ”).

You have advised the Company and the Guarantor that you will offer and sell the Securities purchased from them hereunder in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement as soon as you deem advisable.

This Agreement and the Indenture are referred to herein collectively as the “ Operative Agreements ” and, together with the Notes, the “ Operative Documents .”

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the Incorporated Documents as of the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or the issue date of such Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, respectively, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), after the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or the issue date of the Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, respectively, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

(v) there shall have occurred such a material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions (or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States or Israel shall be such) as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities being delivered on such Delivery Date on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(n) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request to evidence compliance with the conditions set forth in this Section 5.

(a) It has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “ FSMA ”)) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Securities in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the Company or the Guarantor.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of notes to the public” in relation to any Securities in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Securities, as such expression may be varied in the Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State. For the purposes of this provision, the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC, including that Directive as amended by the 2010 PD Directive to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State in question, and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State in question; and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

7. Indemnification and Contribution .

(a) The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its officers, employees, agents and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any loss, claim, damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of the Securities), to which that Underwriter, officer, employee, agent or controlling person may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in (A) the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (B) any blue sky application or other document prepared or executed by the Company or the Guarantor (or based upon any written information furnished by the Company or the Guarantor) filed in any jurisdiction specifically for the purpose of qualifying any or all of the Securities under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction (such application, document or information being hereinafter called a “ Blue Sky Application ”) or

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such officer, employee, agent and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided , however , that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any such amendment or supplement, or in any Blue Sky Application in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein and described in Section 7(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantor may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.

 

20


(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless, each of the Company and the Guarantor, its officers and directors, agents, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or the Guarantor or their respective directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon:

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any Blue Sky Application, or

(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,

but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein and described in Section 7(e), and shall reimburse the Company and the Guarantor and any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Guarantor or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company, the Guarantor or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided , however , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided , further , that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided , however , that the Underwriters shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Company under this Section 7, if the Underwriters shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and the Guarantor and their respective officers,

 

21


directors, employees, agents and controlling persons, and the reasonable fees and expenses of a single separate counsel shall be paid, jointly and severally, by the Company and the Guarantor. No indemnifying party shall:

(i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or

(ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof:

(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, or

(ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the

 

22


Securities under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

(e) The Underwriters severally confirm that the statements with respect to the delivery of the Securities set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the third paragraph, the second and third sentences in the sixth paragraph, the seventh paragraph and the allocation table under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information furnished in writing to the Company and the Guarantor by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof.

8. Defaulting Underwriters .

If, on the Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the total aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total aggregate principal amount of Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule I hereto; provided , however , that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any Securities on such Delivery Date if the total aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery

 

23


Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities which it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase on such Delivery Date, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, the total aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters do not elect to purchase on such Delivery Date the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company and the Guarantor, except that the Company and the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 4 and 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, pursuant to this Section 8, purchases any Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes in the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company and the Guarantor or counsel to the Underwriters, may be necessary.

9. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 5(l) and (m) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.

10. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company and the Guarantor shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Guarantor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement or if the Company or the Guarantor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees and expenses of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriters. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.

(iv) The Guarantor has all necessary corporate right, power and authority to execute and deliver each of the Operative Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder and to issue and deliver the Guarantee to the Underwriters;

(viii) Except as described in each of the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus: the choice of law provisions set forth in Section 16 hereof and similar provisions in the other Operative Agreements are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Israel and such counsel knows of no reason why the courts of Israel would not give effect to the choice of New York law as the proper law of this Agreement and the other Operative Agreements; the Guarantor has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of Israel; the Guarantor has the power to submit, and has irrevocably submitted, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York courts and has validly and irrevocably appointed Teva USA as its

 

Ex-B-1


authorized agent for the purpose described in Section 15 hereof and the other Operative Agreements under the laws of Israel; the irrevocable submission of the Guarantor to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New York courts and the waivers by the Guarantor of any immunity and any objection to the venue of the proceeding in a New York court herein are legal, valid and binding under the laws of Israel and such counsel knows of no reason why the courts of Israel would not give effect to such submission and waivers; service of process in the manner set forth in Section 15 hereof and the other Operative Agreements, will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Guarantor under the laws of Israel; and the courts in Israel will recognize as valid and final, and will enforce, any final and conclusive judgment against the Guarantor obtained in a New York court arising out of or in relation to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Operative Agreements; and

Such counsel shall additionally have furnished to the Underwriters a written statement, addressed to the Underwriters and dated such Delivery Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, to the effect that, although such counsel does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, (i) nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that would lead such counsel to believe that on the Effective Time the Registration Statement contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus as of its date and on the Delivery Date included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that such counsel need express no view as to the financial statements and other financial information or financial data included therein) and (ii) such counsel has no reason to believe that, as of the Execution Time, the documents specified in a schedule to such counsel’s written statement, consisting of those included in the Disclosure Package and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, when taken together as a whole, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. With respect to such statements, such counsel may state that its belief is based upon its participation in the preparation of the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto and documents incorporated therein by reference, certificates of officers of the Guarantor and of state authorities and discussion of the contents thereof with officers of the Guarantor, but is without independent check or verification except as specified.

Section 2.5 Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes .

(a) The Global Notes initially shall:

(1) be registered in the name of the Depositary (or a nominee thereof); and

(2) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“ Agent Members ”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Management Regulations” and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream, respectively, shall be applicable to the Global Notes.

(b) The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes.

(c) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.

 

14


(d) If at any time:

(1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer in writing that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary for the Global Notes is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or cessation; or

(2) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes;

the Depositary shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominee thereof).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global Note to be transferred.

Section 2.6 Defaulted Interest .

If the Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Note when due and payable (“ Defaulted Interest ”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Issuer shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date and amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.7 Execution of Guarantee .

The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note. If the Issuer shall execute Physical Notes in accordance with Section 2.5, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each such Note. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

In case any Officer of the Guarantor who shall have signed the Guarantee endorsed on a Note shall cease to be such officer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered

 

15


by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor; and any Guarantee endorsed on a Note may be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Guarantee, shall be the proper officers of the Guarantor, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

Section 2.8 Add On Notes .

The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture Add On Notes having terms identical to those of the Outstanding Notes, except that Add On Notes:

 

  (a) may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes;

 

  (b) may have a different first Interest Payment Date after issuance than other Outstanding Notes;

 

  (c) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes; and

 

  (d) may have terms specified in Add On Note Board Resolutions or the Add On Note supplemental indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A hereto (and related definitions), as the case may be, applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes) and which shall not affect the rights, benefits, immunities or duties of the Trustee.

In authenticating any Add On Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

 

  (a) the Add On Note Board Resolutions or Add On Note supplemental indenture relating thereto;

 

  (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 6.5; and

 

  (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 6.5 stating,

(1) that the forms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

 

16


(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

(3) that such Notes and the related Guarantee, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer and the Guarantor in the manner provided for herein and in the Base Indenture and the Guarantee, respectively, subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Notes;

(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes have been complied with; and

(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or an Add On Note supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes:

(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;

(2) if the Trustee in good faith determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Notes; or

(3) if the issue of such Add On Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Notes if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 3.

Section 3.1 Payment of Additional Tax Amounts .

All payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes and by the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political sub-division thereof or by any authority therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will (a) withhold or deduct such amounts, (b) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount of interest and principal which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“ Additional Tax Amounts ”) and (c) pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant tax or other authority in accordance with applicable law, except that no such Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note:

(1) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed or levied by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner) having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the mere holding (or beneficial ownership) of such Note or receiving principal or interest payments on the Notes (including but not limited to citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or the existence of a business, permanent establishment, a dependant agent, a place of business or a place of management present or deemed present in the Taxing Jurisdiction);

(2) in respect of any Tax that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled or otherwise comply with any reasonable certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction if (a) compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or treaty as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the Taxes, (b) the Holder (or beneficial owner) is able to comply with these requirements without undue hardship and (c) we have given the Holders (or beneficial owners) at least 30 calendar days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such requirement;

(3) in respect of any Tax imposed on a holder or a beneficial owner of the notes who is an individual resident of the European Union as a result of such holder or beneficial owner’s failure to provide the requisite information to the Issuer to allow such holder to take advantage of the exemption from the savings income tax provided in article 10 of the Land Ordinance on Savings Income in Curaçao;

 

18


(4) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed by reason of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture;

(5) to the extent that any such taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Notes, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Tax Amounts had the notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or

(6) any combination of items (1) through (5) above.

For purposes of this Section 3.1, “ Taxes ” means, with respect to payments on the Notes, all taxes, withholdings, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax.

Section 3.2 Stamp Tax .

The Issuer and the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument in relation thereto.

Section 3.3 Corporate Existence .

Subject to Article 8 of the Base Indenture, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided , however , that the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer and the Guarantor determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 3.4 Certificates of the Issuer and the Guarantor .

The Issuer and the Guarantor will each furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as to the signers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture). In the event an Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of the Issuer comes to have actual knowledge

 

19


of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, regardless of the date, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying such Default and the nature and status thereof.

Section 3.5 Guarantor To Be the Sole Equityholder of the Issuer .

So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor or its successor will directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer.

Section 3.6 Limitation on Liens .

Section 3.7 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks .

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction after the date of this Supplemental Indenture unless:

 

  (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction:

(1) involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than five years;

(2) occurs within 270 days after the date of acquisition, completion of construction or completion of improvement of such property; or

(3) is with the Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries; or

 

  (b) the Guarantor or any subsidiary, within 270 days after the Sale-Leaseback Transaction shall have occurred, applies or causes to be applied an amount equal to the value of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any subsidiary that is not subordinated to the Notes and that has a Stated Maturity of more than twelve months; or

 

  (c) the Guarantor or such subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.6 to create, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness secured by a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the property without equally and ratably securing the Notes.

 

20


As used in this Section 3.7, the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of full years of remaining term of the lease (without regard to renewal options) and the denominator is the full years of the full term of the lease (without regard to renewal options).

Section 3.8 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws .

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

(b) Before any notice of tax redemption pursuant to Section 4.4(a) is given to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) so to redeem have occurred or been satisfied and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) has or shall become obligated to pay Additional Tax Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described in Section 4.4(a).

Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer of officers of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

the Depositary shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominee thereof).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global Note to be transferred.

Section 2.6 Defaulted Interest .

If the Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Note when due and payable (“ Defaulted Interest ”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Issuer shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least 15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date and amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.7 Execution of Guarantee .

The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note. If the Issuer shall execute Physical Notes in accordance with Section 2.5, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each such Note. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

In case any Officer of the Guarantor who shall have signed the Guarantee endorsed on a Note shall cease to be such officer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered

 

15


by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor; and any Guarantee endorsed on a Note may be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Guarantee, shall be the proper officers of the Guarantor, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

Section 2.8 Add On Notes .

The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture Add On Notes having terms identical to those of the Outstanding Notes, except that Add On Notes:

 

  (a) may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes;

 

  (b) may have a different first Interest Payment Date after issuance than other Outstanding Notes;

 

  (c) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes; and

 

  (d) may have terms specified in Add On Note Board Resolutions or the Add On Note supplemental indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A hereto (and related definitions), as the case may be, applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes) and which shall not affect the rights, benefits, immunities or duties of the Trustee.

In authenticating any Add On Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

 

  (a) the Add On Note Board Resolutions or Add On Note supplemental indenture relating thereto;

 

  (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 6.5; and

 

  (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 6.5 stating,

(1) that the forms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

 

16


(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

(3) that such Notes and the related Guarantee, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer and the Guarantor in the manner provided for herein and in the Base Indenture and the Guarantee, respectively, subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Notes;

(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes have been complied with; and

(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or an Add On Note supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes:

(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;

(2) if the Trustee in good faith determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Notes; or

(3) if the issue of such Add On Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Notes if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 3.

Section 3.1 Payment of Additional Tax Amounts .

All payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes and by the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political sub-division thereof or by any authority therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will (a) withhold or deduct such amounts, (b) pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount of interest and principal which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“ Additional Tax Amounts ”) and (c) pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant tax or other authority in accordance with applicable law, except that no such Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable in respect of any Note:

(1) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed or levied by reason of such Holder (or the beneficial owner) having some present or former connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the mere holding (or beneficial ownership) of such Note or receiving principal or interest payments on the Notes (including but not limited to citizenship, nationality, residence, domicile, or the existence of a business, permanent establishment, a dependant agent, a place of business or a place of management present or deemed present in the Taxing Jurisdiction);

(2) in respect of any Tax that would not have been so withheld or deducted but for the failure by the Holder or the beneficial owner of the Note to make a declaration of non-residence, or any other claim or filing for exemption to which it is entitled or otherwise comply with any reasonable certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement concerning nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction if (a) compliance is required by applicable law, regulation, administrative practice or treaty as a precondition to exemption from all or part of the Taxes, (b) the Holder (or beneficial owner) is able to comply with these requirements without undue hardship and (c) we have given the Holders (or beneficial owners) at least 30 calendar days prior notice that they will be required to comply with such requirement;

(3) in respect of any Tax imposed on a holder or a beneficial owner of the notes who is an individual resident of the European Union as a result of such holder or beneficial owner’s failure to provide the requisite information to the Issuer to allow such holder to take advantage of the exemption from the savings income tax provided in article 10 of the Land Ordinance on Savings Income in Curaçao;

 

18


(4) to the extent that such Taxes are imposed by reason of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property taxes imposed with respect to the Notes, except as otherwise provided in this Supplemental Indenture;

(5) to the extent that any such taxes would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Notes, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to Additional Tax Amounts had the notes been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period; or

(6) any combination of items (1) through (5) above.

For purposes of this Section 3.1, “ Taxes ” means, with respect to payments on the Notes, all taxes, withholdings, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Taxing Jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax.

Section 3.2 Stamp Tax .

The Issuer and the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument in relation thereto.

Section 3.3 Corporate Existence .

Subject to Article 8 of the Base Indenture, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided , however , that the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer and the Guarantor determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 3.4 Certificates of the Issuer and the Guarantor .

The Issuer and the Guarantor will each furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as to the signers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture). In the event an Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of the Issuer comes to have actual knowledge

 

19


of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, regardless of the date, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying such Default and the nature and status thereof.

Section 3.5 Guarantor To Be the Sole Equityholder of the Issuer .

So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor or its successor will directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer.

Section 3.6 Limitation on Liens .

Section 3.7 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks .

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction after the date of this Supplemental Indenture unless:

 

  (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction:

(1) involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than five years;

(2) occurs within 270 days after the date of acquisition, completion of construction or completion of improvement of such property; or

(3) is with the Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries; or

 

  (b) the Guarantor or any subsidiary, within 270 days after the Sale-Leaseback Transaction shall have occurred, applies or causes to be applied an amount equal to the value of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any subsidiary that is not subordinated to the Notes and that has a Stated Maturity of more than twelve months; or

 

  (c) the Guarantor or such subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.6 to create, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness secured by a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the property without equally and ratably securing the Notes.

 

20


As used in this Section 3.7, the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of full years of remaining term of the lease (without regard to renewal options) and the denominator is the full years of the full term of the lease (without regard to renewal options).

Section 3.8 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws .

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as U.S. counsel to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, an Israeli corporation (the “Guarantor”), Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Company B.V., a private limited liability company organized under the laws of Curaçao and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (“Teva BV”), and Teva Pharmaceutical Finance IV, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Guarantor (“Teva LLC” and, together with Teva BV, the “Issuers”), in connection with:

 

  (1) the issuance and sale by Teva BV of $1,300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.950% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Teva BV Notes”);

 

  (2) the issuance and sale by Teva LLC of $700,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.250% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Teva LLC Notes” and, together with the Teva BV Notes, the “Notes”); and

 

  (3) the Guarantor’s unconditional guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”).

The Teva BV Notes are to be issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture, dated as of November 10, 2011, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture, dated as of December 18, 2012, by and among Teva BV, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”) (the “Teva BV Indenture”). The Teva LLC Notes are to be issued pursuant to a

Senior Indenture, dated as of November 10, 2011, as supplemented by a Second Supplemental Senior Indenture, dated as of December 18, 2012, by and among Teva LLC, the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Teva LLC Indenture” and, together with the Teva BV Indenture, the “Indentures”).

In connection therewith, we have examined (a) the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-178400) filed by the Guarantor, Teva BV, Teva LLC and certain other registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on December 9, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”), (b) the prospectus of the Guarantor, Teva BV, Teva LLC and certain other registrants dated December 9, 2011, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated December 13, 2012, relating to the Notes, as filed in final form with the Commission on December 14, 2012, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”), (e) the Indentures, and (f) the certificate of formation and operating agreement of Teva LLC and certified resolutions of the board of managers of Teva LLC, as well as such other materials as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed herein. Insofar as the opinions expressed herein involve factual matters, we have relied (without independent factual investigation), to the extent we deemed proper or necessary, upon certificates of, and other communications with, officers and employees of the Issuers and the Guarantor and upon certificates of public officials.

In making the examinations described above, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.

Our opinions set forth herein are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to issuers of securities of the same nature as the Notes.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the federal laws of the United States of America, the laws of the State of New York and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other country, state or jurisdiction.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(i) Teva LLC has all necessary limited liability company right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Teva LLC Indenture and to perform its obligations thereunder and to issue the Teva LLC Notes thereunder.

(ii) The Teva BV Indenture (assuming due authorization by Teva BV, the Trustee and the Guarantor), when duly executed and delivered by Teva BV, the Trustee and the Guarantor, will constitute a legally valid and binding agreement of Teva BV and the Guarantor enforceable against Teva BV and the Guarantor in accordance with its terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,

Re: Registration Statement on Form F-3

Curaçao, 18 December 2012

Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Company B.V. – Legal Opinion

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 prepared and filed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, an Israeli corporation and certain of its subsidiaries with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), on 9 December 2011 (as listed in Schedule 1 sub(a) of this opinion).

We have acted as legal advisers to Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Company B.V. (the “ Company ”) for the purpose of rendering an opinion on certain matters of Curaçao law in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of 2.950% Notes due 2022 (the “ Notes ”) in aggregate principal amount of USD 1,300,000,000 pursuant to the senior indenture, dated as of 10 November 2011 and made between the Company as Issuer, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited as Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee, as supplemented by the second supplemental indenture, dated as of 18 December 2012 (as so supplemented the “ Indenture ”).

For the purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied only on the documents listed in Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, which shall form part of this opinion.


The documents listed in Schedule 1 are referred to as the “ Documents ” and the documents listed in Schedule 2 as the “ Certificates ”.

Unless otherwise defined in this opinion or unless the context otherwise requires, words and expressions defined in the Documents shall have the same meanings when used in this opinion.

In connection with such examination and in giving this opinion, we have assumed:

 

(i) the genuineness of the signatures to the Documents and the Certificates, the authenticity and completeness of the Documents and the Certificates submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of the Documents and the Certificates submitted to us as copies and the authenticity and completeness of those original documents;

 

(ii) the legal capacity (handelingsbekwaamheid) of the natural persons acting on behalf of the parties, the due incorporation and valid existence of, the power, authority and legal rights of, and the due authorization and execution of the Documents by, the parties thereto (other than the Company) under any applicable law (other than Curaçao law);

 

(iii) the due execution by the parties thereto of the Notes submitted to and examined by us in draft in the form of those drafts;

 

(iv) the due compliance with all matters of, and the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Documents under, any applicable law (other than Curaçao law) and in any jurisdiction (other than Curaçao) in which an obligation under the Documents falls to be performed; and

 

(v) the accuracy, completeness, validity and binding effect of the Certificates and the matters certified or evidenced thereby at the date hereof and any other relevant date.

This opinion is given only with respect to Curaçao law as generally interpreted and applied by the Curaçao courts at the date of this opinion. The term “Curaçao” does not include Aruba, Sint Maarten and the Dutch Caribbean (Bonaire, Saba and Statia) which are separate jurisdictions. Since 10 October 2010 the Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as a country and Curaçao became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. As to matters of fact we have relied on the Certificates and the representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to the Documents and the Certificates. We do not express an opinion on the completeness or accuracy of the representations or warranties made by the parties to the Documents, matters of fact, matters of foreign law (other than Curaçao law), international law, including, without limitation, the law of the European Union, and tax, anti-trust and competition law, except to the extent that those representations and warranties and matters of

 

- 2 -


fact and law are explicitly covered by the opinions below. No opinion is given on commercial, accounting or non-legal matters or on the ability of the parties to meet their financial or other obligations under the Documents.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications set out below and matters of fact, documents or events not disclosed to us, we express the following opinions:

 

1. The Company has been duly incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles and is validly existing under the laws of Curaçao as a private Company with limited liability ( besloten vennootschappen ) and the Company has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and as set forth in its purpose clause (Article 2) of its Articles. The Company has been duly registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Curaçao.

 

2. The Company has not been wound up (ontbonden) nor has it been declared bankrupt (failliet verklaard) and the Company has not been granted (provisional) suspension of payments ((voorlopige) surséance van betaling) , as indicated by the Extract as defined in Schedule 2.

 

3. The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute the Indenture and the Notes, to perform its obligations thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated therein.

 

4. The Company has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Notes, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein.

 

5. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered for and on behalf of the Company.

 

6. The Indenture and the Notes if and when duly executed and authenticated, is in proper form for its enforcement in the Curaçao courts.

 

7. It is not necessary in order to ensure the validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of the Documents against the Company in the Curaçao courts, that the Documents or any other document in connection therewith be filed, registered or recorded with governmental, judicial or public bodies or authorities in Curaçao or that any other action be taken in Curaçao, except for registration (date stamping) by the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao of the Documents if and when such Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts.

 

8. The Company has the legal capacity to sue and be sued in its own name under the laws of Curaçao.

 

- 3 -


9. The execution by the Company of the Documents, the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein do not conflict with or result in a violation of (i) any provision of the Articles of the Company or (ii) any existing provision of, or rule or regulation under, Curaçao law, applicable to Company generally or to the best of our knowledge (iii) of any judgment, decree or order of any Curaçao court or governmental agency of or in Curaçao applicable to the Company or any of its properties or assets.

 

10. The Company has been granted a general exemption from Curaçao foreign exchange control regulations by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten as well as a business license and an exemption from article 45 of the National Ordinance on the Supervision of Banking and Credit Institutions 1994 (NG 1994, no. 4) issued by the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten with respect to the issuance of notes, which exemption and license are in full force and effect, based on the Directors’ Certificates. No other consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification, filing or registration with, any governmental body or agency in Curaçao or any Curaçao person having due authority over the Company, is required for the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of its obligations under the Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or the execution, issue, sale or delivery of the notes, except as set forth in paragraph 7 of this opinion.

 

11. The choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Indenture and the Notes is a valid choice of law and such law would accordingly be applied by the Curaçao courts if such Documents or any claim thereunder comes under their jurisdiction upon proper proof of the relevant provisions of such law.

 

12. The submission by the Company in the Documents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state court sitting in New York City and the irrevocable appointment in the Documents by the Company of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. as agent to accept service of process in respect of the jurisdiction of the federal or state sitting in New York City are valid and legally binding on the Company. Such submission and appointment would be upheld by the Curaçao courts, except that such submission does not preclude that claims for provisional measures, claims below the amount of ANG 10,000 (USD 5,600) or the equivalent thereof, or requests to levy pre-trial attachments (conservatoire beslagen) be brought before the competent Curaçao court.

 

13. In proceedings undertaken in Curaçao, neither the Company nor any of its assets are immune from legal action or proceeding (including, without limitation, suit, attachment prior to judgment, execution or other legal process).

 

14.

The United States and Curaçao do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. A final

 

- 4 -


  judgment rendered by a New York court would not automatically be enforceable in Curaçao. However, a final judgment obtained in a New York court and not rendered by default, which is not subject to appeal or other means of contestation and is enforceable in New York with respect to the payment obligations of the Company under the Documents would generally be upheld and be regarded by a Curaçao court of competent jurisdiction as conclusive evidence when asked to render a judgment in accordance with that judgment by a New York court, without substantive re-examination or re-litigation of the merits of the subject matter thereof, if that judgment has been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with the principles of natural justice, its content and enforcement does not conflict with Curaçao public policy and it has not been rendered in proceedings of a penal or revenue or other public law nature.

 

15. Save for (i) a nominal stamp tax amounting to ANG 10 (USD 5.60) per page which will be due in respect of the Documents if and when those Documents are executed in Curaçao and, if they are not executed in Curaçao, if and when those Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts or registered in Curaçao and (ii) a registration tax of ANG 5 (USD 2.80) per document which will be due for each Document, respectively, when Documents are to be used as evidence in the Curaçao courts or are to be registered with (date stamped by) the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao, no similar taxes or charges of any kind are payable in Curaçao in respect of the execution of any of the Documents or the enforcement or admissibility in evidence thereof in the courts of Curaçao (except for court fees payable in connection with litigation in the courts of Curaçao in respect of any of the Documents). As to the requirements of the aforementioned registration with (date stamping by) the Inspector of Taxes in Curaçao, we refer to opinion paragraph 7 above.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

 

(A) Our opinions expressed herein are subject to and limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, suspension of payment and other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors or secured creditors generally.

 

(B) Delivery of documents is not a concept of Curaçao law and we have therefore assumed the due delivery of the Documents by the parties thereto under any applicable law in which such concept is relevant.

 

(C) The enforcement in Curaçao of the Documents is subject to the Curaçao rules of civil procedure as applied by the Curaçao courts.

 

(D) The availability in the Curaçao courts of remedies, such as injunction and specific performance, is at the discretion of the courts.

 

- 5 -


(E) The Curaçao courts may stay or refer proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

 

(F) The Curaçao courts may render judgments for a monetary amount in foreign currencies, but those foreign currency amounts may be converted into Netherlands Antilles Guilders for enforcement purposes. Foreign currency amounts claimed in a Curaçao (provisional) suspension of payment or bankruptcy proceeding will be converted into Netherlands Antilles Guilders at the rate prevailing at the date of commencement of that proceeding.

 

(G) The choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Documents would be upheld by the Curaçao courts, except that under the rules of Curaçao private international law (and those of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Relations of 19 June 1980 (the “ Rome Convention ”)), effect may be given to the mandatory rules of the law of another country with which the situation has a close connection, if and insofar as, under the law of that other country, those rules must be applied whatever the law applicable to the contract (Article 7 of the Rome Convention). With the express reservation that we are not qualified to assess the exact meaning and consequences of the respective terms and conditions of the Documents under foreign law, on the face of the Documents, we are not aware of any term or condition therein which is likely to give rise to situations where the mandatory rules of Curaçao law will be applied by the Curaçao courts irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to the Documents or which appear to be prima facie manifestly incompatible with Curaçao public policy.

 

(H) Under the Curaçao rules of corporate benefit and fraudulent preference, the validity of a legal act (such as the execution of an agreement or the giving of guarantees or security) performed by a company or governed by Curaçao law may be contested. Without purporting to be comprehensive, we would particularly draw your attention to the following:

 

  (a) the validity of a legal act performed by a company may be contested by the company or, in case of its bankruptcy, its public receiver in bankruptcy ( curator ), if as a result the objects as stated in the articles of the company or the principles of corporate (financial) benefit are transgressed and the party which dealt with the company is aware of this transgression or, without personal investigation, should have been so aware; and

 

  (b)

if a legal act performed by a company is prejudicial to the interests of the creditors of that company, the validity of that legal act may in certain

 

- 6 -


  circumstances be contested by those creditors or the public receiver in bankruptcy of that company.

 

(I) A power of attorney granted by a Curaçao company will automatically, i.e. by operation of law, terminate upon the bankruptcy of that company or become ineffective, when that company has been granted a (provisional) suspension of payment. To the extent that the appointment of a process agent by a company constitutes the granting of a power of attorney to that process agent, the service of process on that agent on or after the date on which that company has been declared bankrupt or it has been granted a (provisional) suspension of payment, would not be valid and effective, except to the extent authorized by the public receiver in bankruptcy (curator) or administrator ( bewindvoerder ), as the case may be.

This opinion, which is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and which is not to be read as extending by implication to any other matter, is given on the basis that it is governed by and to be construed in accordance with Curaçao law and that any action, arising out of it, is to be determined by the competent court in Curaçao which shall have exclusive jurisdiction in relation thereto. The partnership VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne has limited its liability to any proceeds available under the partnership’s professional liability insurance, and reliance by anyone on this opinion will be deemed acceptance of such choice of law and forum and limitation of liability. We do not assume any obligation to advise you (or any other person entitled to rely on this opinion) of any subsequent change in, or in the interpretation of, Curaçao law.

This opinion is being rendered solely in connection with the registration of the offering and sale of the Notes, pursuant to the registration requirements of the Act. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Guarantor’s Current Report on Form 6-K, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (each as defined on Schedule 1). By giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations issued or promulgated thereunder.
