The election deadline for the Merger Consideration was 5:00 pm New York time, June 27, 2014. Based on the final results of the Merger Consideration elections and the terms of the Merger Agreement:

 

  holders of approximately 72.78% of the outstanding Forest common stock, or approximately 197,607,707 shares, elected to receive the Stock Election Consideration, which, after giving effect to the prorations, entitles each holder to $25.67 in cash plus 0.3326 of an Actavis ordinary share, with fractions of an Actavis ordinary share being cashed out at $219.00 per whole share;

  holders of approximately 13.81% of the outstanding Forest common stock, or approximately 37,487,783 shares, elected to receive the Standard Election Consideration, with fractions of an Actavis ordinary share being cashed out at $219.00 per whole share;

 

  holders of approximately 12.97% of the outstanding Forest common stock, or approximately 35,228,456 shares, did not make a valid election or did not deliver a valid election form prior to the election deadline and will receive the Standard Election Consideration.

    the amount of any accrued compensation obligations through the termination date (including a pro-rated bonus for Mr. Bisaro);

 

    a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to two times the sum of the Executive’s then-current base salary and target bonus amount;

 

    subsidized healthcare continuation coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents for up to 24 months after his termination date; and

 

    all Actavis equity awards held at the time of the termination will be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable award agreements.

In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason at any time after July 1, 2017 and until the end of the agreement term for Mr. Saunders, or at any time after July 1, 2014 and until the end of the agreement term for Mr. Bisaro, and if the termination occurs within 90 days prior to or 12 months following a “change of control” (as defined in the Employment Agreements), then subject to the same general release and compliance with applicable covenants requirements, the Executive will be entitled to the same payments and benefits as in the non-change in control context, except that (i) the lump-sum cash payment will instead equal three times the sum of the Executive’s then-current base salary and target bonus amount; and (ii) subsidized healthcare continuation coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents will be provided for up to 36 months. To the extent that any payment or benefit received in connection with a change in control would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such payments and/or benefits will be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to the Executive than receiving the full amount of such payments.

At least three (3) months prior to the expiration of the agreement, the Executive and Actavis, Inc. shall notify the other of the intention to extend the agreement, and any proposed changes to the terms and conditions contained in the agreement. If the Executive and Actavis, Inc. intend to extend the agreement, or enter into a new employment agreement, but have not done so prior to the expiration of the agreement, the Executive will continue to be employed on the same terms until the agreement is extended, a new employment agreement is entered into, or written notice of termination of the Executive is provided by the Executive or Actavis, Inc. If Actavis, Inc. elects not to continue the Executive’s employment following the expiration of the agreement on the same terms as specified in the agreement or mutually agreeable terms, the Executive is entitled to: (i) earned but unpaid amounts, (ii) all unreimbursed expenses, (iii) a prorated bonus, and (iv) the severance payable to the Executive under the agreement if the Executive’s employment had terminated without cause or the Executive resigned for good reason at any time after July 1, 2017 and until the end of the agreement term for Mr. Saunders, or at any time after July 1, 2014 and until the end of the agreement term for Mr. Bisaro, outside of the change of control context. If the Executive elects to retire following the expiration of the agreement, does not elect to enter into a new employment agreement, or extends the agreement for less than three (3) years, the Executive will be entitled to all earned but unpaid amounts, all unreimbursed expenses and a prorated bonus. If Actavis, Inc. elects not to continue the Executive’s employment after the expiration of the agreement, any unvested equity granted prior to the Executive’s termination will continue to vest provided the Executive signs a general release and complies with applicable covenants.

In the event Mr. Bisaro ceases to serve as Executive Chairman and instead becomes a non-employee director during the performance period of the performance-based restricted stock units granted as part of the Merger Success Awards, Mr. Bisaro and the Compensation Committee of the board will determine in good faith a reduced number of the following awards that will continue to vest: (a) Merger Success Awards, (b) the options and restricted stock awards granted in March 2014 under Mr. Bisaro’s prior employment agreement and (c) the options and Closing Date PSUs described under “Equity Awards” below.

The Employment Agreements provide that each Executive will be subject to limitations on soliciting or interfering with Actavis’ employees, customers, suppliers, licensees, or other business associates for a one-year period following the Executive’s termination of employment. The Executive will be restricted from competing with Actavis for a one-year period following any termination that entitles the Executive to severance under his Employment Agreement (or any termination which does not entitle the Executive to severance under his Employment Agreement, provided Actavis elects to provide the Executive with a payment equal to the sum of the Executive’s then-current base salary and target bonus). Additionally, for the 24 months following the Executive’s termination of employment, the Executive must comply with specified non-disparagement and cooperation covenants. Under the Employment Agreements, Actavis, Inc. will reimburse each Executive for up to $15,000 in legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the Executive’s Employment Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Employment Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Merger Success Awards

In connection with the Merger, the compensation committee of the Actavis board approved the grant of Merger Success Awards to certain executives, including Messrs. Saunders, Bisaro, Stewart, Meury, Buchen and Joyce, to be settled in cash or Actavis ordinary shares of an equivalent fair market value, at the discretion of the compensation committee, based on the achievement of pre-established synergy cost savings and total shareholder return (relative to a pre-established peer group) goals during the performance period, which commences on the closing date of the Merger and continues through December 31, 2017. The Merger Success Awards granted upon the closing of the Merger were expressed in U.S. dollar value, with target award values as follows: Mr. Saunders ($15,000,000); Mr. Bisaro ($10,500,000); and each of Messrs. Stewart, Meury, Buchen and Joyce ($5,000,000), and the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of 200% of the respective officer’s target award.

Equity Plans

In connection with the Merger, Actavis assumed all outstanding Forest equity awards (the “Legacy Forest Awards”) and their corresponding equity award plans.

Forest Plan Amendment and Form of PRSU Agreement

Effective immediately following the consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub 2, as successor to Forest, amended the Forest Laboratories, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended August 15, 2013) (the “Forest Plan”). The amended plan includes the following changes:

 

    A committee of at least two members of the Actavis board who qualify as outside directors will administer the Forest Plan, except in the case of awards granted to outside directors, in which case the Actavis board will administer the Forest Plan;

 

    For awards granted on or after July 1, 2014 (the closing date of the Merger), or which become effective on or after such date, the awards will become fully vested and immediately exercisable if the grantee incurs a “qualified termination” (as defined in the Forest Plan) within two years following a change in control (rather than three years);

 

    The definition of a “change in control” was conformed to the definition contained in Paul Bisaro and Brent Saunders’ employment agreements; and

 

    The definition of a “qualified substitute award” was amended so that the qualified substitute award will become fully vested if the grantee of the award incurs a qualified termination within two years following the grant of the qualified substitute award (rather than three years).

Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Actavis plc

Effective as of the consummation of the Merger, the compensation committee of the Actavis board adopted the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Actavis plc (the “Amended and Restated Actavis Plan”), subject to the approval of Actavis shareholders within twelve (12) months after the board’s adoption of such plan.

 

8


Under the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan, the aggregate number of ordinary shares available for issuance will be reduced by (i) 2.45 shares for each ordinary share delivered in settlement of any full value Legacy Forest Award and (ii) 1.0 ordinary shares for each share delivered in settlement of any Legacy Forest Award comprised of an option, stock appreciation right or dividend equivalent award (with “full value award” referring to any award other than an option, stock appreciation right or dividend equivalent right). In the event of any cancellation, termination, expiration or forfeiture of any full value Legacy Forest Award, any shares subject to such award at such time will be made available for future grants under the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan on the basis of 2.45 shares for each share subject to such full value award.

All awards other than Legacy Forest Awards are unaffected, and continue to reduce the number of shares available for awards under the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan by one share for each share issued or issuable, regardless of the award type.

As with the amended Forest Plan, the definition of a “change in control” in the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan was conformed to the definition contained in Messrs. Bisaro and Saunders’ employment agreements.

In addition to the foregoing changes, the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan provides for grants of “other cash-based awards” (as defined therein), which authorizes the compensation committee of the board to grant the Merger Success Awards described above and other cash-based awards, subject to shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan. If shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the Actavis board’s adoption of the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan, all such Merger Success Awards will become null and void. The maximum value of any other cash-based award to a Section 162(m) participant for any fiscal year is $50,000,000.

Other changes made to the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan and to the Actavis forms of performance vesting restricted stock unit award and option agreements were intended to conform the qualified termination, change in control and qualified substitute award provisions to those of the Forest Plan and Amended and Restated Actavis Plan.

Equity Awards

In recognition of certain executives’ contributions to ensuring the success of the Merger and as a retention and performance incentive, certain performance-based awards (“Closing Date PSUs”) are being granted to continuing Actavis executives under the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan and to legacy Forest executives under the Forest Plan, effective on the closing date of the Merger. The Closing Date PSUs will vest as to one-third of the total grant on each of December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, subject to the achievement by Actavis of certain performance criteria tied to the compound annual growth rate in the company’s adjusted share price over the performance period, which begins on July 1, 2014 and ends on September 1, 2017, except that, in order to protect executives from share price volatility in the final year of the performance period, the performance period for a portion of the award will be deemed to end (and the performance criteria will be deemed satisfied) on each of March 1 and June 1, 2017 if the adjusted share price exceeds the target share price on such dates. Each Closing Date PSU represents the right to receive ordinary shares in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the applicable performance multiple (ranging from 10% to 300%) by the target number of shares underlying the Closing Date PSU grant. Target award values for the Closing Date PSUs granted to the aforementioned officers were as follows: Mr. Saunders ($25,650,000), Mr. Bisaro ($19,125,000), Mr. Stewart ($6,300,000), Mr. Buchen ($5,400,000), Mr. Meury ($4,725,000) and Mr. Joyce ($4,162,500).

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the compensation committee of the board also awarded option grants to each of the following officers, expressed in U.S. dollar value, with the number of options to be determined based on the Black-Scholes value of an option on June 30, 2014: Mr. Saunders ($8,550,000), Mr. Bisaro ($6,375,000), Mr. Stewart ($2,100,000), Mr. Buchen ($1,800,000), Mr. Meury ($1,575,000) and Mr. Joyce ($1,387,500). The options will vest in five equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this communication that refer to Actavis’ estimated or anticipated future results, including estimated synergies, or other non-historical facts are forward-looking statements that reflect Actavis’ current perspective of existing trends and information as of the date of this communication. Forward looking statements generally will be accompanied by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” or other similar words, phrases or expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the Forest acquisition, including future financial and operating results, and Actavis’ plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. It is important to note that Actavis’ goals and expectations are not predictions of actual performance. Actual results may differ materially from Actavis’ current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting Actavis’ business and risks associated with acquisition transactions. These factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; the ability to successfully integrate strategic transactions, including the Forest acquisition and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the Forest acquisition; the failure of the proposed transaction to close for any other reason; the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Actavis’ products, and the ability to successfully manage transitions to new products and markets; the impact of competitive products and pricing; access to available financing on a timely basis and on reasonable terms; the risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the risks and uncertainties normally incident to the pharmaceutical industry, including product liability claims and the availability of product liability insurance on reasonable terms; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of pending or future litigation or government investigations; periodic dependence on a small number of products for a material source of net revenue or income; variability of trade buying patterns; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; risks that the carrying values of assets may be negatively impacted by future events and circumstances; the timing and success of product launches; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; market acceptance of and continued demand for Actavis’ products, including products acquired as part of the Forest acquisition; costs and efforts to defend or enforce intellectual property rights; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the availability and pricing of third party sourced products

and materials; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to Actavis’ facilities, products and/or businesses; changes in the laws and regulations affecting, among other things, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products; changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase Actavis’ consolidated tax liabilities; the loss of key senior management or scientific staff; and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in Actavis’ periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Actavis plc’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 20, 2014 and from time to time in Actavis’ other investor communications, and in Forest Laboratories, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Exhibit 4.1

Execution Version

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE

This Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 1, 2014 (this “ Supplemental Indenture ”), among Tango Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ Company ”), as successor in interest to Forest Laboratories, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Forest Labs ”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “ Trustee ”) under the Indenture referred to below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Forest Labs and the Trustee have heretofore executed and delivered an indenture dated as of December 10, 2013 (the “ Indenture ”), providing for the issuance of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2021 of Forest Labs (the “ Notes ”);

WHEREAS, on February 17, 2014, Actavis plc, an Irish public limited company (“ Parent ”), entered into a merger agreement (the “ Merger Agreement ”), by and among Parent, the Company, Forest Labs and various other subsidiaries of Parent, pursuant to which, Parent will indirectly acquire the equity interests of Forest Labs by way of a merger of Forest Labs with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity and continuing its existence under Delaware law;

WHEREAS, Section 5.01 (Consolidation, Merger and Conveyance, Transfer and Lease of Assets) of the Indenture provides, among other things, that Forest Labs will not be prevented from merging with or into the Company; provided that, among other things, the Company expressly assumes all of the obligations of Forest Labs with respect to the Notes and the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01(a) (Without Consent of Holders) of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture which evidences the assumption by the Company of the obligations under the Indenture and Notes of Forest Labs.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:

Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Ultimate Parent hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other than US Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents will be such US Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable.


(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Committed Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Committed Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount will be the relevant Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

(c) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Bid Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Bid Loan, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Bid Borrowing or Eurocurrency Rate Bid Loan is denominated in a Discretionary Alternative Currency, such amount will be the relevant Discretionary Alternative Currency Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Discretionary Alternative Currency with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent

1.05 Additional Alternative Currencies . (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or Absolute Rate Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, such request will be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; in the case of any such request with respect to the making of Bid Loans, such request will be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and will be deemed acceptable to any Lender submitting a Competitive Bid in connection with such Bid Loan; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request will be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(b) Any such request will be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., 20 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the L/C Issuer thereof. Any such request pertaining to a particular Bid Loan must be set forth in the corresponding Bid Request following approval thereof by the Administrative Agent. Each Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurocurrency Rate Loans) or the L/C Issuer (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) will notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m., ten Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence will be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be


made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Rate Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and such currency will thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Committed Borrowings of Eurocurrency Rate Loans; if the Administrative Agent consents to making Bid Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and such currency will thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a Discretionary Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Bid Borrowing; and if the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrower and such currency will thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent will fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.05 , the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent.

1.06 Change of Currency . (a) Each obligation of the Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Second Restatement Effective Date will be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency will be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis will be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing in the currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement will take effect, with respect to such Committed Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b) Each provision of this Agreement will be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

(c) Each provision of this Agreement also will be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the change in currency.

1.07 Times of Day . Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day will be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

1.08 Letter of Credit Amounts . Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time will be deemed to be the US Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit will be deemed to be the US Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.


1.09 Rounding . Any financial ratios required to be maintained by Ultimate Parent pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.10 Schedules . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, solely with respect to any changes relating to the Acquired Business and its Subsidiaries and only to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement, to the extent any changes or updates occur between the Second Restatement Effective Date and the Closing Date which would make the contents of Schedules 7.01 and/or 7.02 incorrect or incomplete, Ultimate Parent may deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated version of such Schedules on or prior to the Closing Date, which updated version shall replace the version of such Schedules delivered on the Second Restatement Effective Date without any requirement for any amendment or any consent by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Ultimate Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, such Schedules may not be amended pursuant to this Section 1.10 after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE II.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01 Committed Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “ Committed Loan ”) to the Borrower in US Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, all Bid Loans and all Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies will not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. For the avoidance of doubt, Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date shall continue as Loans under this Agreement upon the effectiveness of this Agreement. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01 , prepay under Section 2.06 , and reborrow under this Section 2.01 . Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans . (a) Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans will be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (and confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or email). Each such notice must be received by the


Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars or of any conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans, (ii) four Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans; provided , however , that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) four Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars, or (ii) five Business Days (or six Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, whereupon the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:00 noon, (i) three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars, or (ii) four Business Days (or five Business days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans will be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.04(c) and 2.05(c) , each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) will specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which will be a Business Day) and, if applicable, the requested Pre-Funding Date, (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed. If the Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested will be made in US Dollars. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Committed Loans will be made as Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to give timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan will be continued with an Interest Period of one month and in its original currency. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation


of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the details of any continuation of Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender will make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in US Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of any Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. If the Pre-Funding Date has been specified, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available not later than 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent receives the evidence referred to above that the conditions in Section 4.03 are satisfied (or waived). Upon satisfaction (or waiver) of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (or, in the case of Acquisition Loans, Section 4.03 ), the Administrative Agent will make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like and Same Day Funds as received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day such funds are so received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in US Dollars is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, will be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, will be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Following the Second Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower may require that Lenders transfer funds to the Administrative Agent in advance of the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice to hold in reserve pursuant to Section 2.02(d) , by specifying, in the relevant Loan Notice, the date (the “ Pre-Funding Date ”) upon which Lenders shall deliver such funds to the Administrative Agent to be held in reserve (which requested Pre-Funding Date may be no earlier than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice). In the event the Borrower specifies a Pre-Funding Date in a Loan Notice, then such Loan Notice shall be submitted not later than (i) 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to the Pre-Funding Date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) 10:00 a.m. on the Pre-Funding Date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.

(d) If a Pre-Funding Date is specified in a Loan Notice, on the requested Pre-Funding Date, no later than 1:00 p.m., each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Loans requested to be made on the Closing Date, by


wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release such funds (the “ Pre-Advanced Funds ”) and use them to fund such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Loans on the Closing Date unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. on the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice that any one or more of the conditions precedent in Section 4.03 has not been satisfied specifying both the conditions precedent that have not been satisfied and its objection thereto. The Pre-Advanced Funds shall be held in reserve by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender, upon the following terms:

(i) The Administrative Agent shall release the Pre-Advanced Funds only as follows: (A) the Administrative Agent shall release the Pre-Advanced Funds of each Lender to fund such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Loans on the Closing Date, without any further authorization from such Lender, or (B) if for any reason the Closing Date does not occur on or before 11:59 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days after the proposed Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to each Lender the portion of the Pre-Advanced Funds delivered by such Lender.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall hold the Pre-Advanced Funds in a non-interest bearing account with Bank of America.

(iii) It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 2.02(c) , the Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in any Pre-Advanced Funds, and shall have no right to give directions to the Administrative Agent with regard to investment, application or release of such funds or otherwise with respect to such funds. Whether or not the Closing Date occurs and whether or not Loans are made on the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender an amount (the “ Pre-Funding Compensation Amount ”) that is equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued hereunder on its Pre-Advanced Funds (at the rate(s) requested by the Borrower in the Loan Notice) if such Pre-Advanced Funds had been used to fund Loans on the Pre-Funding Date (or, if later, the date such funds were delivered to the Administrative Agent to be placed in reserve) and as if such Loans were outstanding for the period of time that such Pre-Advanced Funds remain in reserve. To the extent that a Lender’s Pre-Advanced Funds are used to fund its Applicable Percentage of Loans made on the Closing Date, (x) such Loans shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the date that such Lender funded its Pre-Advanced Funds and having an Interest Period, if applicable, commencing on the Closing Date and (y) the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender on the first Interest Payment Date following the Closing Date. To the extent that all or any part of a Lender’s Pre-Advanced Funds are returned to such Lender for any reason and are not used to fund Loans, the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender within one Business Day after demand, together with any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.05.

(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate


Committed Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans (whether in US Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(f) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(g) After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there will not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

2.03 Bid Loans .

(a) General . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees that the Borrower or Ultimate Parent may from time to time request the Lenders to submit offers to make loans in a Discretionary Alternative Currency (each such loan, a “ Bid Loan ”) to the Borrower prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.03 ; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Bid Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Bid Loans and all Committed Loans and all Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies will not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit. There shall not be more than ten different Interest Periods in effect with respect to Bid Loans at any time.

(b) Requesting Competitive Bids . The Borrower may request the submission of Competitive Bids by delivering a Bid Request to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon five Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing (or six Business Days in the case of any Special Notice Currency). Each Bid Request shall specify (i) the requested date of the Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans requested (which must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except at initial funding), (iii) the Type of Bid Loans requested, (iv) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (v) the requested Discretionary Alternative Currency, and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. No Bid Request shall contain a request for (i) more than one Type of Bid Loan or (ii) Bid Loans having more than three different Interest Periods. Bid Loans may only be Absolute Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, the Borrower may not submit a Bid Request if it has submitted another Bid Request within the prior 30 days.


(c) Submitting Competitive Bids .

(i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each Bid Request received by it from the Borrower and the contents of such Bid Request.

(ii) Each Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) submit a Competitive Bid containing an offer to make one or more Bid Loans in response to such Bid Request. Such Competitive Bid must be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing (or five Business Days in the case of any Special Notice Currency); provided, however, that any Competitive Bid submitted by Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender in response to any Bid Request must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:15 a.m. on the date on which Competitive Bids are required to be delivered by the other Lenders in response to such Bid Request. Each Competitive Bid shall specify (A) the proposed date of the Bid Borrowing; (B) the principal amount of each Bid Loan for which such Competitive Bid is being made, which principal amount (x) may be equal to, greater than or less than the Commitment of the bidding Lender, (y) must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except at initial funding, and (z) may not exceed the principal amount of Bid Loans for which Competitive Bids were requested; (C) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Absolute Rate Bid Loans, the Absolute Rate offered for each such Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto; (D) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Eurocurrency Bid Margin with respect to each such Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto; (E) that such bidding Lender may advance the Bid Borrowing in the proposed Discretionary Alternative Currency, and (F) the identity of the bidding Lender.

(iii) Any Competitive Bid shall be disregarded if it (A) is received after the applicable time specified in clause (ii) above, (B) is not substantially in the form of a Competitive Bid as specified herein, (C) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, (D) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Request, or (E) is otherwise not responsive to such Bid Request. Any Lender may correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable time required for submission of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained the manifest error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.

(iv) Subject only to the provisions of Sections 3.02 , 3.03 and 4.02 and clause (iii)  above, each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.

(d) Notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of Competitive Bids . Not later than 12:00 noon four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing (or five Business Days in the case of any Special Notice Currency), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the identity of each Lender that has submitted a Competitive Bid that complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of the offers contained in each such Competitive Bid.


(e) Acceptance of Competitive Bids . Not later than 12:30 p.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing (or five Business Days in the case of any Special Notice Currency), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it pursuant to Section 2.03(d) . The Borrower shall be under no obligation to accept any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bids for each Interest Period that is accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Request;

(ii) the principal amount of each Bid Loan must be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except at initial funding;

(iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.03(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements hereof.

(f) Procedure for Identical Bids . If two or more Lenders have submitted Competitive Bids at the same Absolute Rate or Eurocurrency Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other Competitive Bids at lower Absolute Rates or Eurocurrency Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted for such Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii) ) would be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Bid Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted as nearly as possible in proportion to the amount offered by each such Lender in respect of such Interest Period, with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000,000.

(g) Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids . The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid whether or not its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the applicable Bid Borrowing.

(h) Notice of Eurocurrency Rate . If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurocurrency Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurocurrency Rate for the relevant Interest Period, and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Rate.

(i) Funding of Bid Loans . Each Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 2.03(g) that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the Borrower


shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in the Discretionary Alternative Currency requested at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Bid Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 , the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like and Same Day Funds as received by the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Bid Borrowing.

(j) Notice of Range of Bids . After each Competitive Bid auction pursuant to this Section 2.03 , the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender that submitted a Competitive Bid in such auction of the ranges of bids submitted (without the bidder’s name) and accepted for each Bid Loan and the aggregate amount of each Bid Borrowing.

2.04 Letters of Credit .

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment .

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04 , (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Second Restatement Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars or in one or more Alternative Currencies for the account of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Total Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (x) the Outstanding Amount of all Bid Loans plus the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans and all Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies will not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit will be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the ability to obtain Letters of Credit will be fully revolving, and accordingly, during the foregoing period, Letters of Credit may be obtained to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.


(ii) The L/C Issuer will not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii) The L/C Issuer will not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator will by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer will prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Second Restatement Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Second Restatement Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

(B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit issued to customers of the L/C Issuer that are similarly situated to the Borrower;

(C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $250,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit;

(D) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(E) the L/C Issuer does not as of the issuance date of such requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency; provided that such currency is not US Dollars; or

(F) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential


Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) ) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The L/C Issuer will be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer will act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer will have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit .

(i) Each Letter of Credit will be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and, if applicable, any Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application will specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which will be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application will specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which will be a Business Day);


(C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower will use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing by hand delivery, fax or e-mail) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV will not then be satisfied (or waived), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer will, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender will be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders will be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer will not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii)  or (iii)  of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing by hand delivery, fax or e-mail) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied (or waived), and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.


(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations .

(i) On the Closing Date and without further action by any party hereto, the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have granted to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired from such L/C Issuer, a participation in each Existing Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of (i) the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder and (ii) the aggregate unpaid amount of any outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect thereof. Such participations shall be on all the same terms and conditions as participations otherwise granted under this Section 2.04(c) .

(ii) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (or in a currency other than US Dollars or an Alternative Currency as provided in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) ), the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency (or such other currency as provided in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) ), unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) will have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in US Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in US Dollars, the Borrower will have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer in US Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in US Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency (or such other currency as provided in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) ), the L/C Issuer will notify the Borrower of the US Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in US Dollars, or the Applicable Time on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (or such other currency as provided in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) ) (each such date, an “ Honor Date ”), the Borrower will reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency (or, if notice of payment is delivered to the Borrower after 11:00 a.m. on the Honor Date, the next Business Day). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in US Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency or such other currency as provided in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) ) (the “ Unreimbursed Amount ”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower will be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in


Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(ii) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing by hand delivery, fax or e-mail; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation will not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(iii) Each Lender will upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in US Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for US Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iv) , each Lender that so makes funds available will be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent will remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in US Dollars.

(iv) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower will be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing will be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and will bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) will be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and will constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04 .

(v) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount will be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(vi) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c) , will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance will relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.


(vii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(iii) , then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer will be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi)  will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations .

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c) , if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in US Dollars and in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute . The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing will be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;


(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the any Loan Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower will promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower will be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of L/C Issuer . Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer will not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer will be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to


its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and will not, preclude the Borrower and/or another Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, as applicable, pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer will be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i)  through (v)  of Section 2.04(e) ; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and/or another Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, as applicable, may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower or such other Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, punitive, consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by them which they prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay or material breach in bad faith under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer will not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Applicability of ISP . Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP will apply to each Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in US Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “ Letter of Credit Fee ”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the US Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to this Section 2.04(h) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credits for which it has provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04; provided , however , any Letter of Credit Fees not payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this sentence shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credits pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv) , with the balance of such Letter of Credit Fees, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.08 . Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.


(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer . The Borrower will pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in US Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Agent Fee Letter, computed on the US Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee will be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit will be determined in accordance with Section 1.08 . In addition, the Borrower will pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in US Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents . In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof will control.

(k) Reporting . On a monthly basis, each L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer in such detail as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries . Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a or any other Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any other Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.05 Swing Line Loans . (a) The Swing Line . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05 , to make loans in US Dollars (each such loan, a “ Swing Line Loan ”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings will not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans will not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (iii) the Swing Line Lender


shall not be under any obligation to make any such Swing Line Loan if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such Swing Line Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) ) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Swing Line Loan then proposed to be made or that Swing Line Loan and all other Swing Line Loans then outstanding as to which the Swing Line Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion, and provided, further, that the Borrower will not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.05 , prepay under Section 2.06 , and reborrow under this Section 2.05 . Each Swing Line Loan will be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender will be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures . Each Swing Line Borrowing will be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the requested borrowing date, and will specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which will be a minimum of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which will be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or e-mail to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of the Lenders) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a) , or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied (or waived), then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans .

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request will be made in writing (which written request will be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with


the requirements of Section 2.02 , without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 . The Swing Line Lender will furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender severally agrees to make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for US Dollar-denominated payments not later than 2:00 P.M. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii) , each Lender that so makes funds available will be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent will remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i) , the request for Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein will be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) will be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified in Section 2.05(c)(i) , the Swing Line Lender will be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) will be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) will be absolute and unconditional and will not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the


foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 . No such funding of risk participations will relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations .

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender will pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender . The Swing Line Lender will be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage will be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender . The Borrower will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.06 Prepayments . (a) The Borrower may, upon notice from it to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars, (B) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in US Dollars will be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies will be in a minimum principal amount of the US Dollar Equivalent of $5,000,000 or a whole


multiple of the US Dollar Equivalent of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice will specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07 , then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07 . The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, it will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein, subject to revocation in connection with a conditional notice of termination as described above. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan will be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 . Each such prepayment will be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. No Bid Loan may be prepaid without the prior consent of the applicable Bid Loan Lender.

(b) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment will be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice will specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein, subject to revocation in connection with a conditional notice of termination as described in clause (a) above.

(c) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Total Outstandings at such time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower will prepay Loans and/or the Borrower will Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(a)(ii) , the Borrower will not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

(d) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Loans and all Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Discretionary Alternative Currency or a currency (other than US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) described in Section 2.04(a)(iii)(D) , as applicable, at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower will prepay Loans in an Alternative Currency, a Discretionary Alternative Currency or such other currency, as applicable, Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency, or any combination thereof, in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce or Cash Collateralize such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect.


2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments . The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice will be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction will be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower will not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, unless the Total Outstandings consist solely of the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations and the Borrower has concurrently Cash Collateralized the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit will be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. A notice of termination of the Aggregate Commitments delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 may state that such notice is conditioned on the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the availability of a source of funds for the prepayment in full of the Obligations under this Agreement, in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Except as otherwise set forth above, the amount of any such Aggregate Commitment reduction will not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments will be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments will be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.08 Repayment of Loans . (a) The Borrower will repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans made to it outstanding on such date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay each Bid Loan on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

(c) The Borrower will repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.09 Interest . (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding


principal amount thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum determined in accordance with Section 2.03 ; and (iv) each Swing Line Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) If any amount of principal of any Loan or any Unreimbursed Amount is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, payable on demand.

(c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(d) Interest on each Loan will be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder will be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.10 Fees . In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h)  and (i)  of Section 2.04 :

(a) Unused Commitment Fee . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) in US Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Bid Loans and L/C Obligations. The Unused Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4.02 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Second Restatement Effective Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. For purposes of calculating the Unused Commitment Fee only, no portion of the Commitments shall be deemed utilized as a result of outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(b) Other Fees . (i) The Borrower will pay or cause to be paid to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in US Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Agent Fee Letter. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(i) The Borrower will pay to the Lenders, in US Dollars, such fees as will have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.


2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate . All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans and any Alternative Currency Loan denominated in Sterling (or any other currency with which it is customary to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) will be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies and Discretionary Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest will accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and will not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made will, subject to Section 2.13(a) , bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.12 Evidence of Debt . (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender will be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender will be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will provide to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, upon their request, a statement of Loans, payments and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement will be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower (except for corrections and errors discovered by the Administrative Agent), unless the Borrower or Ultimate Parent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which will evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent will maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error.


2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback . (a) General . All payments to be made by the Borrower will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or a Discretionary Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrower hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or denominated a Discretionary Alternative Currency will be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency or such Discretionary Alternative Currency, as applicable, and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency or a Discretionary Alternative Currency, it will make such payment in US Dollars in the US Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency or the Discretionary Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender) its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in US Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency or a Discretionary Alternative Currency, will in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower will come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment will be made on the next following Business Day, except (i) as otherwise set forth in the definition of Interest Period, (ii) that no payment will extend past the Maturity Date or the end of the Availability Period, or (iii) as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and Bid Lender with respect to a Bid Loan, and such extension of time will be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent . (i) Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02 ) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but


excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender will pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent will promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that will have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) will be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent . If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II , and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent will return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder will not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c) .

(e) Funding Source . Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.


2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders . If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or such participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.16, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant.

For purposes of this Section 2.14 , any calculation of pro rata shares of Loans will be determined on the basis of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans (and each Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans) and all L/C Obligations (and each Lender’s participation therein) without distinction between Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and Bid Loans.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.15 Increase in Commitments . (a) Request for Increase . Provided there exists no Default and no Default would immediately result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $350,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase will be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) will specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which will in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).


(b) Lender Elections to Increase . Each Lender will notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period will be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders . The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations . If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower will determine the effective date (the “ Increase Effective Date ”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase . As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower, if the Administrative Agent reasonably deems such resolutions necessary, approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects, and except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.15 , the representations and warranties contained in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 will be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 , and (B) no Default exists. The Borrower will prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 ) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f) Conflicting Provisions . This Section will supersede any provisions in Section 2.14 or 11.01 to the contrary.

2.16 Cash Collateral . (a) Certain Credit Support Events . (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (A) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date any L/C Obligation for any reason remains


outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, promptly, but in any event, if such request is made by 1:00 p.m., on the same Business Day and, if such request is made after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day, Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations.

(ii) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event, if such request is made by 1:00 p.m., on the same Business Day and, if such request is made after 1:00 p.m., on the next Business Day, deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure relating to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iii) In addition, if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Ultimate Parent at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time exceeds 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to the amount by which the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(b) Grant of Security Interest . All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) will be maintained in blocked, segregated interest-bearing (such interest to be for the account of the Borrower if such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower) deposit accounts (“ Cash Collateral Accounts ”) at the Administrative Agent or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), another depositary institution that is a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall cause any depositary institution other than the Administrative Agent to take any actions necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to obtain Control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Uniform Commercial Code as from time to time in effect in the State of New York) of such Cash Collateral Accounts, including executing and delivering and causing the relevant depositary bank to execute and deliver an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral Accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c) . If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby (including by reason of exchange rate fluctuations), the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16 or Sections 2.04 , 2.05 , 2.06 ,


2.17 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release . Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(c) )) or (ii)  upon the Borrower’s request if there exists Cash Collateral in excess of the requirements of this Section 2.16 ; provided, however, that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03 ).

2.17 Defaulting Lenders .

(a) Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments . That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01 .

(ii) Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth , as Ultimate Parent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Ultimate Parent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this


Agreement; seventh , so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth , to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees . That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Unused Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h) .

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure . During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05 , the “ Applicable Percentage ” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.

(v) No Default . Operation of the allocations provided in clauses (ii)  through (iv)  above shall not be deemed to result in a default of the Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s obligations to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If (i) with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Ultimate Parent have received written confirmation from such Defaulting Lender that it will comply with its prospective funding obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) in each other case, Ultimate Parent, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in


writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date such confirmation is so received or the effective date specified in such notice (and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral)), as applicable, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) ), together with any payments reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary to compensate the non-Defaulting Lenders for any loss, cost or expense of the type described in Section 3.05 (all of which purchases are hereby consented to by Ultimate Parent and each Lender) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes .

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes .

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Withholding Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii) If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01 ) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, except for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b) , which assignment is not at the request of Ultimate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13 .

(c) Tax Indemnifications . (i) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b)  above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01 ) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agrees to give written notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the assertion of any claim against such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, relating to such Indemnified Taxes no later than 180 days after the principal officer of such party responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii)  of this subsection after the Administrative Agent has exercised such remedies provided in clause (ii)  of this subsection as the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion determines to be appropriate. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b)  above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e) . Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender or such L/C Issuer) to set off and apply any and all amounts (including interest and fees) at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the


Administrative Agent under this clause (ii) . The agreements in this clause (ii)  shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments . Upon request by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01 , the Borrower or Ultimate Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation . Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and to the Administrative Agent (if applicable), if reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) the entitlement of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Person’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e) , the completion, execution and submission of the documentation referred to in this Section 3.01(e) (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(g) (h)(i), (h)(ii)(I), (h)(ii)(II), (h)(ii)(III) and (h)(ii)(IV) ) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Person, and as may be reasonably necessary (including, in the case of any Lender, the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Person.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds . Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer


determines, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for this purpose, a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 , it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(g) FATCA Documentation . If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to United States federal withholding tax under FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection (g) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Restatement Effective Date.

(b) U.S. Tax Documentation . Without limiting the generality of Section 3.01(e): (i) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(h) ) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as will establish its exemption from backup withholding.

(ii) each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this clause (ii), or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), two of whichever of the following is applicable:

 

  (I) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,


  (II) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or successor form),

 

  (III) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner of such payments, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, and all required supporting documentation, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide certification documents on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,

 

  (IV) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 , K-2 , K-3 or K-4 , as applicable, and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), or

 

  (V) properly completed and executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(h) Defined Terms . For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

3.02 Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the


Eurocurrency Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in US Dollars, to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, will be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Ultimate Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are denominated in US Dollars, convert all such Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates . If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) deposits (whether in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan (whether denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative Currency) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans in the affected currency or currencies will be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurocurrency Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a


Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Additional Reserve Requirements .

(a) Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law will: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) ) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any Tax with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements . If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer for any such reduction suffered.


(c) Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b)  of this Section and delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Additional Reserve Requirements . The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required by a central banking or financial regulatory authority with regulatory authority over such Lender to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocable to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided , that the Borrower and Ultimate Parent shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender with a reasonably detailed explanation of the regulatory requirements imposing such costs and a calculation of the allocation of such costs to the relevant Loan or Commitment. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of a proper notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any reserves described in this clause (e) are based upon the financial strength or creditworthiness of a Lender, for the purposes of calculating the actual costs of a Lender with respect to such reserves, each such Lender shall be deemed to be in the highest applicable category of financial strength or creditworthiness.

3.05 Compensation for Losses . Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower will promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);


(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make payment of any Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency;

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05 , each Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if any Lender or the L/C Issuer gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , then such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with any such designation or assignment.


(b) Replacement of Lenders .

which are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations.

9.02 Limitation on Obligations Guaranteed . (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Article IX shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guaranty set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other Guarantee by such Guarantor.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 9.02(a) without impairing the Guaranty contained in this Article IX or affecting the rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX , the indemnities, guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings under this Article IX or elsewhere in this Agreement of the Ultimate Parent and any other Guarantor incorporated in Ireland shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (but for this Section 9.02(c) ):

(i) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland; or

(ii) constitute a breach of Section 31 of the Companies Act 1990 of Ireland.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such indemnities, guarantees, obligations, liabilities or undertakings have been validated under Section 60 (2) to (11) of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under the said Section 60.

9.03 Nature of Guarantee; Continuing Guarantee; Waivers of Defenses

(a) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not merely of collectability. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, set-off, defense, counterclaim, discharge or termination for any reason (other than a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations).


(b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations of each other Guarantor and of any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any other guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(c) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower and any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations until the Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under and in respect of the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):

(i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Second Amendment Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Guaranteed Party;

(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents;

(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Documents, at law, in equity


or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations; and

(vi) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Article IX .

(e) In addition each Guarantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person against any Guaranteed Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

9.04 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation . In case any payment is made on account of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Guarantor:

(a) If such payment is made by a Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of another Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to exercise such rights until a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations), (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Guarantor, and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors (other than the Guarantor whose primary obligations were so guaranteed by the other Guarantors) based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.

(b) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Guarantor against any other Guarantor whether under Section 9.04(a) or otherwise, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to subrogation until a Discharge of the


Guaranteed Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.04 ) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Guarantors, and not against the Guaranteed Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Guaranteed Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations that may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including their liability for the Guaranteed Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 9.04 or otherwise. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. The Guaranteed Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.

9.05 Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds.

9.06 Subordination of Other Obligations . Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Guaranteed Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or Indebtedness of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.


9.07 Financial Condition of Borrower and other Guarantors . Any extension of credit may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower and each other Guarantor on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Guarantor and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Loan Party and each other Guarantor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor now known or hereafter known by any Guaranteed Party.

9.08 Bankruptcy, Etc. Until a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, voluntary or involuntary, involving the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any interest, fees, costs, expenses or other Guaranteed Obligations accruing or arising after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

9.09 Duration of Guarantee . The Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

9.10 Reinstatement . If at any time payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof is rescinded, disgorged or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Guaranteed Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or if any Guaranteed Party repays, restores, or returns, in whole or in part, any payment or property previously paid or transferred to the Guaranteed Party in full or partial satisfaction of any Guaranteed Obligation, because the payment or transfer or the incurrence of the obligation is so satisfied, is declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any state or federal law (collectively, a “ Voidable Transfer ”), or because such Guaranteed Party elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with an assertion that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, and, subject to Section 11.04 , as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the Guaranteed Party related thereto, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist as though the Voidable Transfer had never been made.


ARTICLE X.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authority . Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party will have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.02 Rights as a Lender . The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions . The Administrative Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.


The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent will believe in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02 ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Ultimate Parent, the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction (or waiver) of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition under Article IV , that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date or the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, as applicable. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.05 Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.


10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders will have the right, in consultation with Ultimate Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which will be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent notifies Ultimate Parent and the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.06 will also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender (provided that such successor agrees to act in such capacity), (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender will be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer will issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders . Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or


any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents will have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In case any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party is pending, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent will have made any demand on such Loan Party) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(h) and (i) , 2.10 and 11.04 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04 .

Nothing contained herein will be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

10.10 Guaranty Matters . The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person (a) ceases to be a Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (b) ceases to be a guarantor under all other Indebtedness (other


than the Obligations) of the Borrower owing to any Person other than Ultimate Parent or its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $350,000,000 or (c) was voluntarily designated by Ultimate Parent as a Subsidiary Guarantor and Ultimate Parent requests, in writing, that the Administrative Agent release it from the Guaranty and no Event of Default would immediately result from such a release; provided , that so long as Actavis is an obligor in respect of the Existing Notes (as defined in the definition of “Post-Closing Restructuring”), Actavis shall not be released from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this clause (c). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10 .

(i) Minimum Amounts .

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, Ultimate Parent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts . Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment so assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights and obligations in respect of Bid Loans or to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans;


(iii) Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that creates or increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption . The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided , however , that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons . No such assignment shall be made (A) to Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) , or (C) to a natural person.

Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 , 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 11.06 .

(c) Certain Additional Payments . In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection (c) , then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and, solely with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, any Lender, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in each case at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


(e) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 as if it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Ultimate Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Ultimate Parent and the Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) , Section 3.01(g) and Section 3.01(h) as though it were a Lender.


(g) Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or Ultimate Parent shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c) ). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c) . Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary relating to Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary after the Original Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Ultimate Parent or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

Subject to any applicable requirements of United State federal, state or local Laws or regulations, including securities Laws or regulations, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will make or cause to be made, whether orally, in writing or otherwise, any public announcement or statement that is intended for the general public and not targeted primarily to reach audiences in the banking industry and the banking industry’s customers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of Ultimate Parent as to the form, content and timing of such announcement or disclosure, which approval may be given or withheld in the Ultimate Parent’s sole discretion.

11.08 Right of Setoff . If an Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of its obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer will have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan


Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided , that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.08 , if at any time any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents will not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender will receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest will be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of this Agreement will become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 of the Second Amendment Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif”) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered


pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith will survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default on the Second Restatement Effective Date or at the time of any Credit Extension, and will continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder will remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit will remain outstanding.

11.12 Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12 , if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders . In the event (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by a Loan Party that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives a Loan Party the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then any Loan Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06 ), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that will assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower will have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b) ;

(b) such Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 ) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);


(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender will not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Loan Party to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.17 Judgment Currency . If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used will be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (A) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation or termination of the “Obligations” under the Existing Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date and which remain outstanding as of the Second Restatement Effective Date and (B) the “Obligations” under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby or by the applicable Loan Document and which are in all respects hereafter subject to the terms herein or therein, as applicable).

Documents. Such notice shall specify the Subsidiary being designated as a successor to the Borrower and the date on which such designation shall become effective (which date shall be at least 15 Business Days from the date of the notice). On the date specified in such notice, such Subsidiary shall thereupon automatically become the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

(b) As soon as practicable after receiving notice from Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent of Ultimate Parent’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a successor Borrower, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico or the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender (a “ Protesting Lender ”) shall so notify Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, Ultimate Parent shall, effective on or before the date that such Subsidiary shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder, either (i) cause such Protesting Lender to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.06 and 11.13 or (ii) if such assignment cannot be made prior to such date, pay to such Protesting Lender an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan documents (including amounts under Section 3.05 ), whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the such date.

(d) Interest on each Loan will be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder will be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.10 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, ticking fees (the “ Ticking Fees ”) in US Dollars equal to 0.175% times the actual daily amount of undrawn Aggregate Commitment of such Lender. The Ticking Fee shall accrue from the Effective Date until the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and shall be due and payable in arrears on the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date of termination of the Aggregate Commitments.

 

32


(b) The Borrower will pay or cause to be paid to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in US Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Joint Fee Letter. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(c) The Borrower will pay to the Lenders, in US Dollars, such fees as will have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees . All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans will be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest will accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and will not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made will, subject to Section 2.13(a) , bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.12 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender will be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender will be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will provide to the Borrower or Intermediate Parent, upon their request, a statement of Loans, payments and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement will be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower (except for corrections and errors discovered by the Administrative Agent), unless the Borrower or Intermediate Parent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower or Intermediate Parent, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower and Intermediate Parent made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which will evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

33


2.13 Payments Generally . (a) General . All payments to be made by the Borrower will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender) its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. will be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower will come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment will be made on the next following Business Day, except (i) as otherwise set forth in the definition of Interest Period, or (ii) that no payment will extend past the applicable Maturity Date, and such extension of time will be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent . (i) Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02 ) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender will pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent will promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that will have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent . Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount

 

34


due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b)  will be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent . If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II , and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent will return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several . The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder will not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c) .

(e) Funding Source . Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders . If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

 

35


For purposes of this Section 2.14 , any calculation of pro rata shares of Loans will be determined on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.15 [Reserved] .

2.16 [Reserved] .

2.17 Defaulting Lenders .

(a) Adjustments . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments . That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01 .

(ii) Reallocation of Payments . Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 ), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second , as Intermediate Parent may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third , if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Intermediate Parent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth , to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth , so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth , to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its

 

36


appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of this Agreement were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees . That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Ticking Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (and the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay any Ticking Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender (nor shall any Ticking Fee that otherwise would have accrued with respect to that Defaulting Lender accrue)) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(iv) No Default . Operation of the allocations provided in clause (ii)  above shall not be deemed to result in a default of the Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s obligations to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If Intermediate Parent and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date such confirmation is so received or the effective date specified in such notice (and subject to any conditions set forth therein), as applicable, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, together with any payments reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary to compensate the non-Defaulting Lenders for any loss, cost or expense of the type described in Section 3.05 (all of which purchases are hereby consented to by Intermediate Parent and each Lender) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Intermediate Parent or the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes .

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes .

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Withholding Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e)  below.

(ii) If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e)  below, (B) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01 ) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties . Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a)  above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, except for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b) , which assignment is not at the request of Intermediate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13 .

(c) Tax Indemnifications . (i) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of subsection (a)  or (b)  above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01 ) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to give written notice to the Borrower and Intermediate Parent of the assertion of any claim against such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, relating to such Indemnified Taxes no later than 180 days after the principal officer of such party responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection after the Administrative Agent has exercised such remedies provided in clause (ii) of this subsection as the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion determines to be appropriate. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower and Intermediate Parent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

38


(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a)  or (b)  above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e) . Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender) to set off and apply any and all amounts (including interest and fees) at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii) . The agreements in this clause (ii)  shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Evidence of Payments . Upon request by the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01 , the Borrower or Intermediate Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or Intermediate Parent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation . Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, Intermediate Parent and to the Administrative Agent (if applicable), if reasonably requested by the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) the entitlement of such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Person’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e) , the completion, execution and submission of the documentation referred to in this Section 3.01(e) (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(g), (h)(i), (h)(ii)(I), (h)(ii)(II), (h)(ii)(III) and (h)(ii)(IV) ) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or

 

39


materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower, Intermediate Parent and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Person, and as may be reasonably necessary (including, in the case of any Lender, the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Person.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds . Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for this purpose, a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01 , it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

(g) FACTA Documentation . If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to United States federal withholding tax under FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, Intermediate Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection (g) , “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(h) U.S. Tax Documentation . Without limiting the generality of Section 3.01(e): (i) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(h) ) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as will establish its exemption from backup withholding.

 

40


(ii) each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this clause (ii), or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Non-U.S. Lender is legally entitled to do so), two of whichever of the following is applicable:

 

  (I) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

  (II) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or successor form),

 

  (III) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner of such payments, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, and all required supporting documentation, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide certification documents on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,

 

  (IV) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 , K-2 , K-3 or K-4 , as applicable, and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), or

properly completed and executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

41


(i) Defined Terms . For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

3.02 Illegality . If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans in US Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and Intermediate Parent through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Intermediate Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates . If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) US Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, Intermediate Parent and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with

 

42


respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Additional Reserve Requirements .

(a) Increased Costs Generally . If any Change in Law will: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) );

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements . If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement . A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a)  or (b)  of this Section and delivered to the Borrower and Intermediate Parent will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests . Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section will not constitute a waiver of

 

43


such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower and Intermediate Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Additional Reserve Requirements . The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required by a central banking or financial regulatory authority with regulatory authority over such Lender to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocable to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided , that the Borrower and Intermediate Parent shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender with a reasonably detailed explanation of the regulatory requirements imposing such costs and a calculation of the allocation of such costs to the relevant Loan or Commitment. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of a proper notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any reserves described in this clause (e)  are based upon the financial strength or creditworthiness of a Lender, for the purposes of calculating the actual costs of a Lender with respect to such reserves, each such Lender shall be deemed to be in the highest applicable category of financial strength or creditworthiness.

3.05 Compensation for Losses . Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower will promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

 

44


(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower or Intermediate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13 ; or

(d) with respect to amounts due pursuant to subsection (a)  or (b)  of this Section as a result of any Change in Law relating to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III, the claim for additional amounts shall be generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of customers of such Lender that such Lender considers, in its reasonable discretion, to be similarly situated as the Borrower and having generally similar provisions in their credit agreements with such Lender.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05 , each Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders .

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office . If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , or the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04 , as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02 , as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders . In the event (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , (ii) the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender is a Protesting Lender, then the Borrower or Intermediate Parent may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13 . Each Lender hereby grants to Intermediate Parent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment in full of such Lender’s interests hereunder (including, subject to Section 2.17(a)(iii) , the payment of accrued Ticking Fees) solely in the event that such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender prior to the Closing Date. Intermediate Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent in advance of any exercise of the power of attorney referenced in the preceding sentence.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Article IX shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guaranty set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other Guarantee by such Guarantor.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 9.02(a) without impairing the Guaranty contained in this Article IX or affecting the rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder.

 

65


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX , the indemnities guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings under this Article IX or elsewhere in this Agreement of any Guarantor incorporated in Ireland shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (but for this Section 9.02(c) ):

(i) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland; or

(ii) constitute a breach of Section 31 of the Companies Act 1990 of Ireland.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such indemnities, guarantees, obligations, liabilities or undertakings have been validated under Section 60 (2) to (11) of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under the said Section 60.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of (i) this Article IX or any Loan Documents; (ii) any Loan Documents (as defined in the Actavis Revolving Credit Agreement); (iii) any Loan Documents (as defined in the ACT Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement); and/or (iv) any Loan Documents (as defined in the WC Term Loan Credit Agreement) (or any document entered into in connection with any of the foregoing) (together the “ Guaranteed Documents ”) to the contrary, the aggregate guarantee undertakings of any Guarantor incorporated in Luxembourg (a “ Luxembourg Guarantor ”) under the Guaranteed Documents shall, at any time, be limited to, and shall not exceed, an amount corresponding to 90% of its own funds (capitaux propres) and subordinated debts (as referred to in article 34 of the law of December 19, 2002 on the register of commerce and companies and accounting and the annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (i) as shown in its most recent financial statements available on the date on which the guarantee is called, or (ii) as shown in its most recent financial statements available on the date hereof, whichever is higher.

The above limitation shall not apply to any amounts borrowed by, or made available to, in any form whatsoever, under the Loan Documents, (or any document entered into in connection therewith), the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its (current or future) direct or indirect subsidiaries.

9.03 Nature of Guarantee; Continuing Guarantee; Waivers of Defenses

(a) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not merely of collectability. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, set-off, defense, counterclaim, discharge or termination for any reason (other than a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations of each other Guarantor and of any other guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any other guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset

 

66


with respect thereto, and any failure by any Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(c) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower and any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment remain liable for the applicable Guaranteed Obligations until the applicable Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under and in respect of the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):

(i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Guaranteed Party;

(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents;

(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations; and

(vi) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Article IX .

 

67


(e) In addition each Guarantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person against any Guaranteed Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

9.04 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation . In case any payment is made on account of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Guarantor:

(a) If such payment is made by a Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of another Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to exercise such rights until a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations), (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Guarantor, and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors (other than the Guarantor whose primary obligations were so guaranteed by the other Guarantors) based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.

(b) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Guarantor against any other Guarantor whether under Section 9.04(a) or otherwise, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to subrogation until a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.04 ) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Guarantors, and not against the Guaranteed Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Guaranteed Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation

 

68


is demanded by any Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations that may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including their liability for the Guaranteed Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 9.04 or otherwise. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. The Guaranteed Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.

9.05 Payments . Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds.

9.06 Subordination of Other Obligations . Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of Intermediate Parent owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Guaranteed Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or Indebtedness of Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

9.07 Financial Condition of Borrower and other Guarantors . Any extension of credit may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower and each other Guarantor on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Guarantor and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Loan Party and each other Guarantor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of

 

69


nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor now known or hereafter known by any Guaranteed Party.

9.08 Bankruptcy, Etc . Until a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, voluntary or involuntary, involving the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any interest, fees, costs, expenses or other Guaranteed Obligations accruing or arising after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

9.09 Duration of Guarantee . The Guaranty contained in Section 9.01 shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.

9.10 Reinstatement . If at any time payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof is rescinded, disgorged or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Guaranteed Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or if any Guaranteed Party repays, restores, or returns, in whole or in part, any payment or property previously paid or transferred to the Guaranteed Party in full or partial satisfaction of any Guaranteed Obligation, because the payment or transfer or the incurrence of the obligation is so satisfied, is declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any state or federal law (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such Guaranteed Party elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with an assertion that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, and, subject to Section 11.04 , as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the Guaranteed Party related thereto, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist as though the Voidable Transfer had never been made.

10.01 Appointment and Authority . Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Loan Party will have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

70


10.02 Rights as a Lender . The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Intermediate Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions . The Administrative Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent will believe in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02 ) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Intermediate Parent, the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition under Article IV that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the Closing Date. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.05 Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and will apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent.

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, Intermediate Parent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders will have the right, in consultation with Intermediate Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which will be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent notifies Intermediate Parent and the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,

 

72


such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.06 ). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders . Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or the Syndication Agent will have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In case any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party is pending, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent will have made any demand on such Loan Party) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04 ) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

73


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04 .

Nothing contained herein will be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.10 Guaranty Matters . The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person (a) ceases to be a Subsidiary of Intermediate Parent as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (b) ceases to be a guarantor under all other Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) of the Borrower owing to any Person other than Intermediate Parent or its Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $350,000,000 or (c) was voluntarily designated by Intermediate Parent as a Subsidiary Guarantor and Intermediate Parent requests, in writing, that the Administrative Agent release it from the Guaranty and no Event of Default would immediately result from such a release; provided , that so long as Actavis is an obligor in respect of the Existing Notes and Actavis SCS is an obligor in respect of the New Notes (each as defined in the definition of “ Post-Closing Restructuring ”), Actavis and/or Actavis SCS, as applicable, shall not be released from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this clause (c). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10 .

(b) Assignments by Lenders . Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts .

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, Intermediate Parent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided , however , that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts . Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment so assigned.

(iii) Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Intermediate Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such

 

81


assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Intermediate Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption . The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided , however , that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons . No such assignment shall be made (A) to Intermediate Parent or any of Intermediate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) , or (C) to a natural person. No such assignment of Commitments shall be made at any time prior to the initial funding of the Loans hereunder on the Closing Date to any Person that is not an Eligible Pre-Closing Lender.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (d)  of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 , 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section 11.06 .

(c) Certain Additional Payments . In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases

 

82


by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Intermediate Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection (c) , then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(d) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and, solely with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, any Lender, such Lender, in each case at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Intermediate Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Intermediate Parent or any of Intermediate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as

 

83


Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f)  of this Section, Intermediate Parent and the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b)  of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 as if it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Intermediate Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Intermediate Parent and the Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e), Section 3.01(g) and Section 3.01(h) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or

 

84


any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Intermediate Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “ Information ” means all information received from Intermediate Parent or any Subsidiary relating to Intermediate Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Intermediate Parent or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Intermediate Parent or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Intermediate Parent or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.

Subject to any applicable requirements of United State federal, state or local Laws or regulations, including securities Laws or regulations, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will make or cause to be made, whether orally, in writing or otherwise, any public announcement or statement that is intended for the general public and not targeted primarily to reach audiences in the banking industry and the banking industry’s customers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of Intermediate Parent as to the form, content and timing of such announcement or disclosure, which approval may be given or withheld in the Intermediate Parent’s sole discretion.

11.08 Right of Setoff . If an Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of its obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender will have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or

 

85


are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided , that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.08 , if at any time any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents will not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “ Maximum Rate ”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender will receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest will be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness . This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement will become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 . Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif”) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties . All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith will survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the

 

86


Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default on the Closing Date, and will continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder will remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

11.12 Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12 , if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders . In the event (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 , (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 , (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by a Loan Party that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives a Loan Party the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then any Loan Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06 ), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that will assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower will have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b) ;

(b) such Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 ) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 , such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

87


A Lender will not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Loan Party to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

89


currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

11.20 Successor Borrower. (a) Intermediate Parent may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice, notify the Administrative Agent that Intermediate Parent intends to designate a Subsidiary as a successor to the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such notice shall specify the Subsidiary being designated as a successor to the Borrower and the date on which such designation shall become effective (which date shall be at least 15 Business Days from the date of the notice). On the date specified in such notice, such Subsidiary shall thereupon automatically become the Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of Intermediate Parent’s notice of such pending designation, the identity of the respective Subsidiary and the date such designation is to become effective in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 11.21(a) , if the designation of such Subsidiary obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, Intermediate Parent shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) As soon as practicable after receiving notice from Intermediate Parent or the Administrative Agent of Intermediate Parent’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a successor Borrower, and in any event no later than five Business Days after the delivery of such notice, for a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico or the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender (a “ Protesting Lender ”) shall so notify Intermediate Parent and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, Intermediate Parent shall, effective on or before the date that such Subsidiary shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the Borrower hereunder, either (i) cause such Protesting Lender to assign and delegate all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Sections 3.06 and 11.13 or (ii) if such assignment cannot be made prior to such date, pay to such Protesting Lender an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan documents (including amounts under Section 3.05 ), whereupon such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 , 3.04 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the such date.

Exhibit 10.4

DEED OF INDEMNIFICATION

This Deed of Indemnification, dated as of             , 2014, is made by and between Actavis plc, an Irish public limited company (the “Company”), and              (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires to ensure that the Company benefits from the services of highly qualified, experienced and otherwise competent persons such as Indemnitee;

WHEREAS, the Company previously requested that Indemnitee serve the Company as a director of the Company, and, if requested to do so by the Company, as a director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in each case whether organized under the laws of Ireland, any foreign nation or any political subdivision thereof; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee desires to be indemnified by the Company and has agreed to become a director of the Company in reliance upon the Company’s promise to provide indemnification on the basis (i) herein set forth and (ii) set forth in an indemnification agreement between Actavis W.C. Holding Inc. and Indemnitee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Generally .

(a) In consideration of Indemnitee agreeing to act and continue to act as director of the Company, in addition to and without prejudice to any other right of indemnity in favour of Indemnitee from time to time, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees and undertakes with Indemnitee subject to Section 200 of the Companies Act 1963 upon first demand to indemnify and keep Indemnitee (and any alternate director appointed by such Indemnitee to act on his behalf together with their respective estates) indemnified and held harmless from and against, and to assume all liability for, any and all proceedings (including, without limitation, claims, demands and actions), liability, damage, loss, charge, detriment, cost, Expenses, judgments or fines suffered, incurred or sustained by Indemnitee (or any such alternate director or their respective estates) arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with his acting as a director or alternate director (as the case may be) of the Company otherwise than by reason of the dishonesty, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence or wilful misconduct of Indemnitee or such alternate director (as the case may be). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability incurred by Indemnitee in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgement is given in his favour in which he is acquitted, in connection with any application under Section 391 of the Companies Act 1963 or Section 42 of the Companies (Amendment) Act 1983 in which relief is granted to him by the court.

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall be from and against Expenses, judgments and fines actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

(c) The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any rights Indemnitee may now or hereafter have to indemnification by the Company or otherwise.


Section 2. Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification .

(a) To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

(b) If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Deed to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments and fines actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any proceeding or investigation, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments and fines.

Section 3. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper . Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the Company unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1(b) of this Deed. Any such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum, (ii) by a majority vote of a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, (iii) by independent legal counsel, or (iv) by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 4. Notification and Defense of Claim .

(a) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any proceeding, Indemnitee shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Company of the commencement of the proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Company is prejudiced in its defense of such proceeding as a result of such failure.

(b) If any action, proceeding, claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against Indemnitee or any alternate director appointed by him to act on his behalf in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Deed for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (1) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (2) if (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) counsel to the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in

 

2


fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the Expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Deed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, Indemnitee acknowledges that, in connection with any one such proceeding involving at least one other party to whom the Company owes obligations identical or similar to those owed to Indemnitee under this Deed, or separate but substantially similar proceedings arising out of the same general allegations and involving at least one other party to whom the Company owes obligations identical or similar to those owed to Indemnitee under this Deed, the Company will not be liable for the Expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel necessary for the representation). The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company or as to which counsel for the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

Section 5. Warranty .

The Company warrants by its execution hereof that it has power to enter into and has duly authorised the execution and delivery of this Indemnity and that its obligations hereunder constitute legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

Section 6. Procedure for Indemnification .

(a) To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors of the Company in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b) The Company’s determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) . The right to indemnification as granted by Section 1 of this Deed shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Company denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such 60-day period. It shall be a defense to any such action that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 , nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8 , Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Deed upon submission of a request for

 

3


indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 , and the Company shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Company overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

Section 7. Insurance and Subrogation .

(a) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Indemnitee who is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director or officer of the Company against any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Deed. If the Company has such insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of a proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) In the event of any payment by the Company under this Deed, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Company shall pay or reimburse all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

(c) The Company shall not be liable under this Deed to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines and excise taxes or penalties if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Deed or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

Section 8. Limitation on Indemnification . Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Deed:

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee . To indemnify to Indemnitee with respect to a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee.

(b) Action for Indemnification . To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Deed.

(c) Section 16 Violations . To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

(d) Non-compete and Non-disclosure . To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with proceedings involving the enforcement of non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or the non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements Indemnitee may be a party to with the Company.

(e) Additional Limitations . To indemnify Indemnitee in circumstances where Indemnitee is a defendant or a respondent in a proceeding and (i) Indemnitee is not acquitted or judgment is not given in Indemnitee’s favour and (ii) the court does not grant relief to Indemnitee in connection with any application under Section 391 or Section 42 of the Companies Act.

 

4


Section 9. Savings Clause . If any provision or provisions of this Deed shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments and fines with respect to any proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Deed that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 10. Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Deed, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) The term “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees (applying the Company’s billing guidelines, if any, and otherwise consistent with the Company’s past practice for payment of legal fees for outside counsel), retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Deed, excise taxes and penalties, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a proceeding. Expenses also shall include (i) Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, and (ii) Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Deed, by litigation or otherwise, in accordance with Section 16 . Expenses, however, shall not include the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(b) The term “Company” shall include, without limitation and in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors and officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Deed with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(a) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Deed.

 

5


Section 11. Form and Delivery of Communications . Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the parties under this Deed shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

If to the Company:

Actavis plc

Morris Corporate Center III, 400 Interpace Parkway

Parsippany, NJ 07054

Attn: Chief Legal Officer – Global and Secretary

Facsimile:

If to Indemnitee:

c/o Actavis plc

Morris Corporate Center III, 400 Interpace Parkway

Parsippany, NJ 07054

Attn: Chief Legal Officer – Global and Secretary

Section 12. Subsequent Legislation . If the Companies Act 1963 is amended after adoption of this Deed to expand further the indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Act 1963, as so amended.

Section 13. Effective Date and Release.

This Indemnity shall be effective and shall remain in full force and effect until Indemnitee confirms in writing to the Company that it is released from its obligations hereunder. The resignation of Indemnitee shall not terminate or otherwise prejudice his continuing rights hereunder.

Section 14. Nonexclusivity; No Duplication of Payments .

(a) The provisions for indemnification set forth in this Deed shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (as may be amended from time to time), in any court in which a proceeding is brought, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as director or officer of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. However, no amendment or alteration of the Company’s Memorandum or Articles of Association or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Deed.

(b) The Company shall not be liable under this Deed to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any expenses, judgments and fines or any other amounts paid to or incurred by Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment, including, without limitation, under any insurance policy, the Company’s Memorandum or Articles of

 

6


Association, the organizational documents of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or any agreement between Indemnitee and any of the Company’s subsidiaries (each, an “ Alternative Source ”), for such expenses, judgments and fines or amounts that are otherwise indemnifiable by the Company hereunder. In the event that Indemnitee receives from the Company and an Alternative Source a duplicate payment in respect of the same expenses, judgments and fines or any other amounts incurred by Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Company in the amount of such duplicate payment.

Section 15. Enforcement . The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding that the procedures and presumptions of this Deed are not valid, binding and enforceable. The Company agrees that its execution of this Deed shall constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court of competent jurisdiction in which a proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his rights hereunder shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Deed are unique and special, and that failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of this Deed will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy Indemnitee may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Deed, Indemnitee shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Company of its obligations under this Deed.

Section 16. Interpretation .

(a) It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Deed to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

(b) In this Deed any reference to any statute shall be construed as a reference to that statute as extended, modified, replaced or re-enacted from time to time (whether before or after the date hereof) and all statutory instruments, regulations and orders from time to time made thereunder or deriving validity therefrom (whether before or after the date hereof).

Section 18. Entire Agreement . This Deed and the documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Deed.

Section 19. Modification and Waiver . No supplement, modification or amendment of this Deed shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Deed shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

Section 20. Successor and Assigns . All of the terms and provisions of this Deed shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Deed in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

7


Section 21. Service of Process and Venue . For purposes of any claims or proceedings to enforce this Deed, the Company consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any court of competent jurisdiction in Ireland, and waives and agrees not to raise any defense that any such court is an inconvenient forum or any similar claim.

Section 22. Supersedes Prior Agreement . This Deed supersedes any prior deed of indemnification or indemnification agreement between Indemnitee and the Company or its predecessors; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Deed does not supersede or otherwise affect Indemnitee’s rights under any indemnification agreement between Indemnitee and Actavis W.C. Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Section 23. Governing Law . This Deed shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of Ireland, as applied to contracts between Irish residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Ireland. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a final determination that the provisions of the law of any jurisdiction other than Ireland govern indemnification by the Company of its officers and directors, then the indemnification provided under this Deed shall in all instances be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under such law, notwithstanding any provision of this Deed to the contrary.

Section 25. Employment Rights . Nothing in this Deed is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to employment or continued employment.

Section 26. Counterparts . This Deed may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or same counterpart.

Section 27. Headings . The section and subsection headings contained in this Deed are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Deed.

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of             , 2014, is made by and between Actavis W.C. Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              ( “Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, Actavis plc (“Holdco”), a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, is the Company’s ultimate parent company;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to ensure that Holdco benefits from the services of highly qualified, experienced and otherwise competent persons such as Indemnitee;

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee are aware of provisions under Irish law that limit the level of indemnification available to a director of Holdco;

WHEREAS, the Company previously requested that Indemnitee serve Holdco as a director of Holdco, and, if requested to do so by the Company, as a director, officer, trustee, employee, representative or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in each case whether organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, any foreign nation or any political subdivision thereof; and

WHEREAS, Indemnitee desires to be indemnified by the Company and has agreed to become a director of Holdco in reliance upon the Company’s promise to provide indemnification on the basis (i) herein set forth and (ii) set forth in an indemnification agreement between Holdco and Indemnitee.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing promises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Generally .

To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware:

(a) The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of Holdco as a director, officer, employee or agent of Holdco, or while serving as a director or officer of Holdco, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Holdco as a director, officer, employee or agent (which, for purposes hereof, shall include a trustee, partner or manager or similar capacity) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against Indemnitee in respect of an alleged breach of fiduciary duties, to the fullest extent permitted under Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

(b) The indemnification provided by this Section 1 shall be from and against Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding and any appeal therefrom, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Holdco, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1 , in the case of any Proceeding brought by or in the right of Holdco to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Holdco, or while serving as a director or officer of Holdco, is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Holdco as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to Holdco unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(d) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Holdco, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(e) The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any rights Indemnitee may now or hereafter have to indemnification by the Company, Holdco or otherwise.

Section 2. Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification . To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this Agreement or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to Holdco or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iii) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Holdco, and (iv) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect thereto.

If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any Proceeding or investigation, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.

Section 3. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper . Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the Company unless a

 

2


determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1(b) of this Agreement. Any such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the Proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum, (ii) by a majority vote of a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, (iii) by independent legal counsel, or (iv) by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 4. Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim .

(a) Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding, or in connection with an enforcement action pursuant to Section 5(b) , shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of (i) a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, and (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount or amounts, only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Agreement or otherwise. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free.

(b) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against the Company hereunder, notify the Company of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify the Company of the commencement of the Proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent the Company is prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as a result of such failure.

(c) In the event the Company shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of Indemnitee with respect to a Proceeding, as provided in this Agreement, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided that (1) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (2) if (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) counsel to the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position, or reasonably believes that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the Expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, Indemnitee acknowledges that, in connection with any one such Proceeding involving at least one other party to whom the Company owes obligations identical or similar to those owed to Indemnitee under this Agreement, or separate but substantially similar Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations and involving at least one other party to whom the Company owes obligations identical or similar to those owed to Indemnitee

 

3


under this Agreement, the Company will not be liable for the Expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel necessary for the representation). The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company or as to which counsel for the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s corporate status with respect to Holdco, the Company or any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of Holdco or the Company, a witness or otherwise participates in any Proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not a party in the Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

Section 5. Procedure for Indemnification .

(a) To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors of the Company in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(b) The Company’s determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5(a) . The right to indemnification as granted by Section 1 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Company denies such request, in whole or in part, or fails to respond within such 60-day period. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and Expenses under Section 4 of this Agreement where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Company) that Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 hereof, but the burden of proving such defense by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 , nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s Expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Company.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 , the Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 , and the Company shall have the burden of proof

 

4


in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Company overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing evidence.

Section 6. Insurance and Subrogation .

(a) The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Indemnitee who is or was or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company or Holdco as a director or officer of the Company or Holdco, or is or was serving at the request of Holdco as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against, and incurred by, Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of Indemnitee’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify Indemnitee against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. If the Company has such insurance in effect at the time the Company receives from Indemnitee any notice of the commencement of a proceeding, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the policy. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policy.

(b) In the event of any payment by the Company under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance policy, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance policy. The Company shall pay or reimburse all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

(c) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under this Agreement or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

Section 7. Limitation on Indemnification . Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee . To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee without the consent or authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company or Holdco, except with respect to a Proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7(b) of this Agreement).

(b) Action for Indemnification . To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, unless Indemnitee is successful in establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification in such Proceeding, in whole or in part, or unless and to the extent that the court in such Proceeding shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s failure to establish their right to indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such Expenses; provided, however, that

 

5


nothing in this Section 7(b) is intended to limit the Company’s obligation with respect to the advancement of Expenses to Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement.

(c) Section 16 Violations . To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any Proceeding with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for payment or an accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

(d) Non-compete and Non-disclosure . To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with Proceedings involving the enforcement of non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or the non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements the Indemnitee may be a party to with the Company, Holdco or any subsidiary of the Company or Holdco or any other applicable foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, if any.

(e) Additional Limitations . To indemnify Indemnitee with respect to (i) any claim or any part thereof as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal is or can be taken, by clear and convincing evidence, to have acted or failed to act with deliberate intent to cause injury to Holdco or with reckless disregard for the best interests of Holdco or (ii) any obligation of Indemnitee based upon or attributable to Indemnitee gaining in fact any personal gain, profit or advantage to which Indemnitee was not entitled.

Section 8. Certain Settlement Provisions . The Company shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not settle any Proceeding in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 9. Savings Clause . If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding, including an action by or in the right of Holdco, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 10. Contribution . In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the payment of Indemnitee’s Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any Proceeding, in an amount that is just and equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other directors and officers of the Company or Holdco or others pursuant to indemnification agreements or otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to (i) the failure of Indemnitee to meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement, or (ii) any limitation on indemnification set forth in Section 6(c), 7 or 8 of this Agreement.

Section 11. Certain Definitions . For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or Holdco or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative legislative, or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or Holdco, by reason of any action taken by him or of any action on his part while acting as director or officer of the Company or Holdco, or by reason of the fact that he is or was serving at the request of Holdco as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other enterprises, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of Expenses can be provided under this Agreement. If the Company believes in good faith that a given situation may lead to or culminate in the institution of a Proceeding, this situation shall be considered a Proceeding under this paragraph.

(b) The term “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees (applying the Company’s billing guidelines, if any, and otherwise consistent with the Company’s past practice for payment of legal fees for outside counsel), retainers, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include (i) Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, and (ii) Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise, in accordance with Section 15 . Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(c) The term “judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect payments of any type or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, all penalties and amounts required to be forfeited or reimbursed to the Company or Holdco, as well as any penalties or excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan.

(d) The term “Company” shall include, without limitation and in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any

 

7


person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

(e) The term “other enterprises” shall include, without limitation, employee benefit plans.

(f) The term “serving at the request of Holdco” shall include, without limitation, any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of Holdco which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.

(g) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of Holdco” as referred to in this Agreement.

Section 12. Form and Delivery of Communications . Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the parties under this Agreement shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice):

Section 13. Subsequent Legislation . If the DGCL is amended after adoption of this Agreement to expand further the indemnification permitted to directors or officers, then the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

Section14. Nonexclusivity; No Duplication of Payments .

(a) The provisions for indemnification and advancement of Expenses set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have

 

8


under any provision of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, in any court in which a proceeding is brought, the vote of the Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. However, no amendment or alteration of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment to Indemnitee in respect of any Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or any other amounts paid to or incurred by Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise received payment, including, without limitation, under any insurance policy, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, Holdco’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (as each may be amended from time to time) or any agreement between Indemnitee and Holdco (each, an “ Alternative Source ”), for such Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement or amounts that are otherwise indemnifiable by the Company hereunder. In the event that Indemnitee receives from the Company and an Alternative Source a duplicate payment in respect of the same Expenses, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement or any other amounts incurred by Indemnitee, Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the Company in the amount of such duplicate payment.

Section 15. Enforcement . The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable. The Company agrees that its execution of this Agreement shall constitute a stipulation by which it shall be irrevocably bound in any court of competent jurisdiction in which a proceeding by Indemnitee for enforcement of his rights hereunder shall have been commenced, continued or appealed, that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are unique and special, and that failure of the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy Indemnitee may have at law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 16. Interpretation of Agreement . It is understood that the parties hereto intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification to Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law.

Section 17. Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Agreement.

Section 18. Modification and Waiver . No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

9


Section 19. Successor and Assigns . All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

Section 20. Service of Process and Venue . For purposes of any claims or proceedings to enforce this agreement, the Company consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the states of Delaware and New Jersey, and waives and agrees not to raise any defense that any such court is an inconvenient forum or any similar claim.

Section 21. Supersedes Prior Agreement . This Agreement supersedes any prior indemnification agreement between Indemnitee and the Company or its predecessors.

Section 22. Governing Law . This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a final determination that the provisions of the law of any state other than Delaware govern indemnification by the Company of its officers and directors or the officers and directors of Holdco, then the indemnification provided under this Agreement shall in all instances be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted under such law, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

Section 23. Employment Rights . Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to employment or continued employment.

Section 24. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not signatories to the original or same counterpart.

Section 25. Headings . The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

If you accept this offer of a new position, you shall serve as Executive Chairman of the Actavis Group. You will not be an employee of Actavis plc and will at all times be an employee of the Company. During the Agreement Term (as defined below), you shall have all duties customary for the Executive Chairman of a publicly traded company in the United States of America of like size to Actavis plc.

On or prior to the date on which Actavis plc holds its 2015 annual meeting of the stockholders of Actavis plc, the Board shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause you to be nominated and elected to serve as a member of the Board.

This Agreement supersedes the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement entered into by and between Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and yourself on November 12, 2012 (the “Prior Agreement”), which shall no longer be effective by mutual consent of the Company and yourself. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any equity-based awards granted to you while the Prior Agreement was in effect shall continue to vest in accordance with their respective award agreements. The retention bonuses granted to you on November 7, 2013 shall also continue to vest pursuant to the terms contained in the retention bonus offer, and are unaffected by this Agreement.

The elements of your employment package are as follows:

 

  1. Location . Your principal office will continue to be at the Company’s U.S. administrative headquarters, though you shall be expected to perform your duties at, and travel to, such other offices of the Company and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, and elsewhere, as required to fulfill your duties and obligations as Executive Chairman of the Actavis Group.

  4. Certain Reductions of Payments .

 

  (a) Reduced Amount .

In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or you that the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment

 

9


  paid or distributed by the Company to or for your benefit shall be repaid by you to the Company together with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which you are subject to taxation under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for your benefit together with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

  (v) Reduced Amount ” shall mean the amount of Payments that (A) has a Present Value that is less than the Present Value of all Payments and (B) results in aggregate Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that are greater than the Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that would result if the aggregate Present Value of Payments were any other amount that is less than the Present Value of all Payments.

Nothing in this paragraph shall impair or limit any rights or entitlement you may have to indemnification and directors and officers liability insurance coverage. To the extent there is a conflict of interest that would prevent the Company’s own outside or inside legal counsel from adequately representing your interests as well as the Company’s interests, and with the Company’s prior approval, the Company shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with your engaging an attorney to advise you in connection with the foregoing.

 

  (g) Enforcement; Remedies . You understand that the provisions of this Section 5 do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, are reasonable limitations as to scope and duration, and are not unduly burdensome to you. You further agree that the Company would be irreparably harmed by any actual or threatened breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 5 and that, in addition to any other remedies at law, including money damages and the right to withhold payments otherwise due to you, the Company shall be entitled to seek a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining you from any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement in any court that may have competent jurisdiction over the matter. With respect to any provision of this Section 5 finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, you hereby agree that a court shall reform such provisions, including the duration or scope of such provisions, as the case may be, so that they are enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any of the covenants set forth in this Section 5 are determined to be wholly or partially unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such determination shall not be a bar to or in any way diminish the rights of the Company to enforce any such covenant in any other jurisdiction.

 

  6. Indemnification and Advancement . In the event you are made, or threatened to be made, a party to any legal action or proceeding, by reason of the fact that you are or were an employee or officer of the Company or serve or served any other entity in any capacity at the Company’s request, you shall be fully indemnified by the Company, and the Company shall advance your related expenses when and as incurred, including, but not limited, to attorney fees to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or indemnification agreements maintained by the Company or such other entity you have served at the request of the Company. During your employment with the Company and thereafter so long as you may have liability arising out of your service as an officer or director of the Company, the Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering you with coverage no less than that available to active directors and officers of the Company, as described above.

 

  7. Representations . You represent and warrant to the Company that, as of the Effective Date, you are not a party to any agreement, written or oral, containing any noncompetition or nonsolicitation provisions or any other restrictions (including, without limitation, any confidentiality provisions) that would result in any restriction on your ability to accept and perform this or any other position with the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

13


  8. Miscellaneous .

 

  (a) Entire Agreement; Amendment . This Agreement shall supersede any other agreement or understanding, written or oral, with respect to the matters covered herein. This Agreement may not be amended or modified other than by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend or modify this Agreement if it determines it is necessary to do so in order to comply with applicable legal and/or regulatory requirements or guidance or any changes in applicable law, rules, or regulations or in the formal and conclusive interpretation thereof by any regulator or agency of competent jurisdiction.

 

  (b) Severability . The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted (but only to the extent that such provision cannot be appropriately reformed or modified).

 

  (c) Tax Matters . The Company may withhold from any amounts payable to you such federal, state, local, or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations relating thereto, or an exemption to Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be interpreted accordingly. Any payments or benefits that qualify for the “short-term deferral” exception or another exception under Section 409A shall be paid under the applicable exception. Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A. All payments that constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A that are to be made upon a termination of employment under this Agreement may only be made upon a “separation from service” under Section 409A. In addition, to the extent that any payments of “nonqualified deferred compensation” due under this Agreement are subject to the effectiveness of the Release, and the period for executing, delivery, and not revoking such Release begins and ends in different tax years for you, all such “nonqualified deferred compensation” shall be paid or settled in the later taxable year. If you become entitled to a payment of “nonqualified deferred compensation” as a result of your termination of employment and at such time you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Termination Date), such payment shall be postponed to the extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A, and any amounts so postponed shall be paid in a lump sum on the first (1 st ) business day that is six (6) months and one (1) day after your separation from service (or any earlier date of your death). If the compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement would subject you to taxes or penalties under Section 409A, the Company and you shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of this Agreement to avoid such taxes and penalties, to the extent possible under applicable law; provided that in no event shall the Company be responsible for any Section 409A taxes or penalties that arise in connection with any amounts payable or benefits provided under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

  (d)

Successors . This Agreement is personal to you and without the prior written consent of the Company will not be assignable by you. This Agreement and any

 

14


  rights and benefits hereunder will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by your legal representatives, heirs, or legatees. This Agreement and any rights and benefits hereunder will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

 

  (e) Governing Law . The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any state.

 

  (f) Arbitration . To provide a mechanism for rapid and economical dispute resolution, you and the Company agree that except as provided in Section 5, any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement (including the Release) or its enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation, will be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding, and confidential arbitration held in the New York City, New York, metropolitan area (or such other major metropolitan region where the Company is then headquartered) and conducted by the American Arbitration Association, under its then-existing Employment Rules and Procedures. Nothing in this Section 8(f) or in this Agreement is intended to prevent either you or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. This Section 8(f) shall not apply to any claims of violation of any federal or state employment discrimination laws.

 

  (g) Headings . The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

  (h) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

  (i) Attorneys’ Fees . If either party hereto brings any action or other proceeding to enforce his or its rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. The Company shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, not to exceed $15,000.

 

  (j) Company Policies . You will be subject to all policies of the Company, including, without limitation, any stock ownership guidelines, the Company’s anti-hedging policy and any additional anti-hedging policies applicable to senior executives of the Company, as each policy is adopted or amended from time to time. In addition, all equity awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by you upon any receipt or exercise of any equity award or upon the receipt or resale of any Ordinary Shares of Actavis plc underlying an equity award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable equity award.

Dear Mr. Saunders:

Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Actavis plc, an Irish public limited company (“ Actavis plc ”), is delighted to extend to you an offer of employment by the Company. If you accept this offer of employment, you shall serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Actavis Group. You will not be an employee of Actavis plc and will at all times be an employee of the Company. During the Agreement Term (as defined below), you shall have all duties customary for the Chief Executive Officer of a publicly traded company of like size to Actavis plc. In connection with your appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Actavis Group, you shall also be nominated for election to the Board of Directors of Actavis plc (the “ Board ”) during the Agreement Term, unless such nomination is contrary to applicable law. If you accept this offer, your start date shall be July 01, 2014 (the “ Effective Date ”) and this agreement (the “ Agreement ”) shall terminate on December 31, 2019 (the “ Agreement Term ”), unless earlier terminated or extended in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. On or prior to the date on which Actavis plc holds its 2015 annual meeting of the stockholders of Actavis plc, the Board shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause you to be nominated and elected to serve as a member of the Board. This Agreement serves as confirmation of our offer on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below. You and the Company agree that your employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment and this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, for any reason, at the option of either you or the Company, as set forth in Section 3(a).

The elements of your employment package are as follows:

 

  1. Location . Your principal office shall be at the Company’s U.S. administrative headquarters, though you shall be expected to perform your duties at, and travel to, such other offices of the Company and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, and elsewhere, as required to fulfill your duties and obligations as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Actavis Group.

 

  2. Compensation and Benefits .

 

  (a) Annual Base Salary . You shall receive an annual base salary of $1,000,000 (“ Base Salary ”), paid in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. Starting with fiscal year 2015 and consistent with the Company’s regular practices for reviewing base salaries paid to other executive officers of the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Compensation Committee ”) shall periodically review your Base Salary in light of competitive practices, the base salaries paid to other executive officers of the Company, and your performance, and may, in its discretion, increase the Base Salary by an amount it determines to be appropriate.

 

  (b)

Annual Incentive Award . You shall be eligible to participate in Actavis plc’s Annual Cash Incentive Plan and any successor plan thereto throughout the Agreement Term and receive an annual cash incentive (an “ Annual Bonus ”) for


  each fiscal year of the Company during which you are employed, with a target Annual Bonus opportunity of 150% of your Base Salary (the “ Target Bonus ”), subject to adjustment of between 0% and 225% of your Target Bonus. The actual amount of your Annual Bonus, if any, shall be based upon the attainment or surpassing of corporate financial targets and broad strategic initiatives previously approved by the Compensation Committee, in consultation with you, no later than the first quarter of each fiscal year. The Annual Bonus shall be paid by no later than 74 days following the end of the fiscal year in respect of which it is earned. Such Annual Bonus shall be prorated for the portion of fiscal year 2014 during which you are employed by the Company and shall be based on the same financial metrics used to determine annual bonuses for other senior executives of the Company in respect of fiscal year 2014 and such other individual performance objectives as shall be established by the Compensation Committee for you.

 

  (c) Long-Term Incentive Awards . As an inducement to commence employment with the Company, on the Effective Date, you shall be granted (i) options (the “ Options ”) to purchase ordinary shares of Actavis plc, par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Ordinary Shares ”), having an aggregate grant date value of $8,550,000 (determined based on the Black-Scholes valuation model assuming each of dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and stock price volatility as measured on the date of grant, and as otherwise determined in a manner consistent with the methodology used by Actavis plc in its most recent financial statements), and (ii) a target award of performance-based restricted stock units in respect of Ordinary Shares (“ Performance RSUs ”) having an aggregate grant date value of $25,650,000, based the closing price of an Ordinary Share on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. The Options and the Performance RSUs shall be subject to such terms and conditions as approved by the Compensation Committee, which shall not be less favorable to you than the terms afforded to other senior executives, as well as the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time) and the related Notice of Grant and Signature Page for the Options and Performance RSUs.

 

  (d) Merger Success Award . You shall be eligible to receive a performance-based award under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Merger Success Award”) adopted by Actavis plc, with a target award of $15,000,000 (the “ Merger Success Award Target Award ”), up to a maximum of 200% of the Merger Success Award Target Award. The goals under the Merger Success Award will be established by the Compensation Committee and communicated to you in writing, and the payment of the Merger Success Award shall be in a form approved by the Compensation Committee, which shall not be less favorable to you than the terms afforded to other senior executives, subject to the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan (as amended from time to time) and related Notice of Grant and Signature Page.

 

  (e) Vacation . You shall be entitled to five weeks of vacation annually, with any unused vacation time forfeited at the end of the year in respect of which it was accrued.

The Company shall, at the Company’s expense, make available to you, the Company or other private aircraft for business and personal use at your reasonable discretion (and subject to the monetary limits on personal use in the preceding sentence). The value of the personal use of any such aircraft shall be determined by the Company’s accountants in accordance with applicable proxy reporting and other laws and regulations, and shall be based upon the actual incremental costs of such use (for example, per air hour charges, fuel, catering and other related charges), but shall not include depreciation, management fees, or other fixed costs unless required by law. In the event you exceed the $110,000 per calendar year limit in incremental costs for personal aircraft usage, you shall promptly (and in the same fiscal year as the incremental usage occurred) reimburse the Company for the amount of the overage. The Company shall report the value of your personal use of any Company or other private aircraft paid by the Company in your W-2 (or similar annual reporting form) filed with the Internal Revenue Service and applicable state and local taxing authorities and in accordance with the provisions of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor thereto, as may be in effect from time to time (the “ Code ”). The Company shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Aviation Administration, Internal Revenue Service and other agencies and offices with respect to the calculation and reporting of the value of any personal aircraft use by you, and shall provide your accountants with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such calculation methods.

If, at any time during the Agreement Term, you

 

3


  shall agree to relocate from your current residence, you shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such relocation pursuant to the Company’s then existing relocation policy applicable to other senior executives of the Company. If no such policy shall then exist, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith a reasonable relocation package for you.

 

  3. Termination of Employment .

  (b) Severance Benefits for the Period Commencing on the Effective Date and Ending on the Third Anniversary of the Effective Date . If (i) the Company terminates your employment without Cause (as defined below) or (ii) you resign your employment with the Company for Good Reason (together, a “ Qualifying Termination ”) at any time during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third (3 rd ) anniversary of the Effective Date, then, subject to (A) your execution, delivery, and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in a form prepared by the Company that shall contain provisions that are reasonable and customary and not less favorable to you than those used by the Company in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices (the “ Release ”) within sixty (60) days following the effective date of your termination of employment (the “ Termination Date ”), and (B) your continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement, you will be entitled to receive the benefits as set forth in Section 6(a) of that certain Employment Agreement, by and between you and Forest Laboratories, Inc. dated as of October 1, 2013 (the “ Change of Control Agreement ”).

  (d) Severance Benefits for the Period Commencing on the Third Anniversary of the Effective Date through the End of the Agreement Term in Connection with a Change of Control .

  4. Certain Reductions of Payments .

 

  (a) Reduced Amount . Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Accounting Firm (as defined in Section 4(e)) shall determine that receipt of all Payments (as defined in Section 4(e)) would subject you to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting Firm shall determine whether some amount of Payments meets the definition of “ Reduced Amount ” (as defined in Section 4(e)). If the Accounting Firm determines that there is a Reduced Amount, then the aggregate Payments shall be reduced to such Reduced Amount.

 

  (b) Determinations . If the Accounting Firm determines that the aggregate Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Company shall promptly give you notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof, and you may then elect, in your sole discretion, which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the Present Value (as defined in Section 4(e)) of the aggregate Payments equals the Reduced Amount); provided that you shall not be permitted to elect to reduce any Payment that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and shall advise the Company in writing of your election within ten (10) days of your receipt of notice. If no such election is made by you within such ten (10) day period or if the election made by you within such ten (10) day period does not sufficiently reduce the Payments to the Reduced Amount, the Company shall reduce the Payments (or, the remaining Payments) in the following order. For any Payments made for the period of employment commencing on the Effective Date through the third (3 rd ) anniversary of the Effective Date: (i) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)(B) of the Change of Control Agreement (and, to the extent applicable, Section 6(a)(i)(A)(2) of the Change of Control Agreement), then (ii) by reducing payments payable in respect of equity awards subject to performance-based vesting criteria, then (iii) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii) of the Change of Control Agreement, then (iv) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(iii) of the Change of Control Agreement, then (v) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) of the Change of Control Agreement, and then (vi) by reducing payments payable in respect of equity awards subject to time-based vesting criteria. For any Payments made for the period of employment commencing on the third (3 rd ) anniversary of the Effective Date through the end of the Agreement Term: (i) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 3(d)(I) of this Agreement, then (ii) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 3(d)(II) of this Agreement, and then (iii) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 3(d)(III) of this Agreement. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 4 shall be binding upon the Company and you and shall be made within sixty (60) days of your Date of Termination. In connection with making determinations under this Section 4, the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by you before or after the Change of Control, including any noncompetition provisions that may apply to you and the Company shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any noncompetition provisions.

 

  (c)

Overpayments; Underpayments . As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the

 

9


  Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been made (“ Overpayment ”) or that additional Payments that will have not been made by the Company could have been made (“ Underpayment ”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or you that the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for your benefit shall be repaid by you to the Company together with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such payment would not either reduce the amount on which you are subject to taxation under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for your benefit together with interest at the Applicable Federal Rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

 

  (d) Fees and Expenses . All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the provisions of this Section 4 shall be borne by the Company.

 

  (e) Certain Definitions . The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Agreement:

 

  (i) A “ Payment ” shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for your benefit, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise;

 

  (ii) Net After-Tax Receipt ” shall mean the Present Value of a Payment net of all taxes imposed on you with respect thereto under Sections 1, 3121 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied to your taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year, or such other rate(s) as you shall certify, in the your sole discretion, as likely to apply to you in the relevant tax year(s);

 

  (iii) Accounting Firm ” shall mean such nationally recognized certified public accounting firm as may be designated by the Company;

 

  (iv) Present Value ” of a Payment shall mean the present value as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b)(2), as determined by the Accounting Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code will apply to such Payment; and

 

  (v)

Reduced Amount ” shall mean the amount of Payments that (A) has a Present Value that is less than the Present Value of all Payments and

Actavis Completes Forest Laboratories Acquisition

– Creates an Innovative New Model in Specialty Pharmaceuticals Leadership –

– $15.0 Billion Anticipated Pro Forma Combined Revenue –

– Establishes Blockbuster Franchises in CNS, Gastroenterology, Women’s Health,

Urology and Cardiovascular Therapeutic Categories –

– Expands Development-Focused Brand and Generic Pipeline –

DUBLIN, IRELAND – July 1, 2014 – Actavis plc (NYSE: ACT) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: FRX) in a cash and equity transaction currently valued at approximately $28 billion. The combination creates one of the world’s fastest-growing specialty pharmaceutical companies, with annual revenues of more than $15 billion anticipated for 2015.

In conjunction with the close of the acquisition, Paul Bisaro, formerly Chairman and CEO of Actavis, has been named to the position of Executive Chairman of Actavis; Brent Saunders, formerly CEO and President of Forest, has been named CEO and President of Actavis; Robert Stewart, formerly President, Global Operations for Actavis, has been named Chief Operating Officer; Bill Meury, formerly Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Forest, has been named Executive Vice President Commercial, North American Brands; and David Buchen, formerly Actavis’ Chief Legal Officer, has been named Executive Vice President Commercial, North American Generics and International.


“The combination of Actavis and Forest creates an innovative new model for success in the global specialty pharmaceutical industry, built to compete within today’s evolving healthcare landscape,” said Brent Saunders, CEO and President of Actavis. “Our business model is driven by a broad portfolio of strong brand, generic and OTC products, a commitment to development-focused, results oriented research and development and the size and scale needed to efficiently and cost-effectively meet the needs of our global customer base. The new Actavis is uniquely positioned to deliver exceptional long-term financial performance and expand access to pharmaceutical products for patients around the world.

“Actavis’ best-in-class commercial engine is powered by a specialty brand business that is now positioned to compete with the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, marketing more than 35 products across seven therapeutic market segments and maintaining blockbuster product franchises in five therapeutic categories, as well as a global generics business that remains an industry powerhouse, with operations in approximately 60 countries and a top 10 position in more than 25 markets across the world,” Saunders added.

Supported by our strong commitment to research and development of more than $1 billion annually, as well as our industry-leading global supply chain powered by generic DNA, focused on efficient and cost-effective delivery of the highest quality products with the highest level of customer service, we are positioned to drive continued long-term growth and value for our shareholders, customers and employees. With the acquisition now complete, we will immediately begin executing on our comprehensive integration plans to ensure we are leveraging our strengthened global organization to generate sustainable organic earnings growth from our newly expanded base.”

Financially Compelling Transaction

Actavis continues to expect the transaction to generate double-digit accretion in 2015 and 2016, including approximately $1 billion in operating and tax synergies to be realized within three years following the close. These synergies exclude any additional revenue or manufacturing synergies, and are in addition to standalone synergies announced publicly by Forest as part of its Project Rejuvenate and acquisition of Aptalis. Actavis further expects to generate strong operating cash flow in excess of $4 billion on a pro forma basis for 2015, which would enable the Company to rapidly de-lever the balance sheet.


Review of the Benefits of the Acquisition

The combination of Actavis and Forest creates a new breed of specialty pharmaceutical company, with size and scale, a balanced offering of strong brands and generics, a focus on strategic, lower-risk drug development and a flexible, scalable business model that permits it to adapt quickly to ever-changing industry dynamics and drive sustainable, long-term organic growth. The combined Company begins operations with a defined global management structure, led by a combination of Actavis and Forest senior executives, which has been built to leverage the unique talents across the organization and capitalize on global growth opportunities.

Dramatically Strengthens Actavis’ Specialty Brands Business

The close of the transaction creates a world-class specialty brands business competing across multiple market segments. On a pro forma combined basis for full year 2014, Actavis’ brand pharmaceutical business now includes an approximately $2 billion revenue CNS franchise; Gastroenterology (GI) and Women’s Health franchises valued at approximately $1 billion in revenue each; a Cardiovascular franchise that generates approximately $500 million in revenue; and Urology and Dermatology/Established Brand franchises approaching $500 million a year in revenue each; as well as emerging and sustainable portfolios in the Infectious Disease and Respiratory therapeutic categories.

Delivers an Industry-Leading North American Sales and Marketing Organization

The combined company’s North American sales force has extraordinary marketing reach, with exceptional strength among primary care physicians, gastroenterologists, psychiatrists, cardiologists, neurologists and infectious disease specialists, in addition to its focus on OBGyn’s, urologists and dermatologists. Using its innovative line-call strategy, the sales force is strongly positioned to leverage select products in the legacy Actavis Specialty Brands portfolio to the broader primary care physician base in the United States. Actavis is committed to using smart, focused promotion and a customer-focused sales culture to drive continued growth and ensure all of the Company’s products achieve their full potential.

Further Expands Actavis’ Development-Focused Brand and Generic Pipeline

The new Actavis has one of the strongest development-focused R&D organizations in the pharmaceutical industry, with an emphasis on strategic, innovative development of important durable products that will drive long-term value, and on being the partner of


choice for new and existing development collaborations. The transaction strengthens Actavis’ specialty brands pipeline, with more than 25 products in the near- or mid-term stage of development, including new exclusive product opportunities as well as a robust portfolio of next generation products. Actavis’ innovative specialty brands pipeline now includes 16 product candidates at the Phase III or NDA stages of development, including treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, as well as treatments for Schizophrenia and bipolar disorders, treatments for COPD and an array of Women’s Health conditions. The pending acquisition of Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is expected to further strengthen the pipeline, with Furiex’s lead development product eluxadoline complementing the Linzess ® and Asacol ® /Delzicol ® franchises to enhance Actavis’ world-class GI business.

The Company’s investment in the development of innovative brand products is complemented by Actavis’ unwavering commitment to invest in its best-in-class generic product development organization, which is a leader in the industry with approximately 220 Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) currently filed in the United States, 60 of which are believed to be confirmed as new first-to-file applications, and more than 750 filings across the globe. Actavis has taken significant steps to dramatically enhance its development of generic injectable and inhalation products, and continues to focus on complementing its pipeline of solid oral dosage products with more complex modified-release and other dosage forms.

Senior Leadership Team Built to Maximize Global Generic, Brand Opportunities

Actavis’ new senior management structure brings exceptional pharmaceutical talent that was available from both organizations to drive growth across the larger and more complex combined business.
