INTRODUCTORY NOTE

On March 17, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), Actavis plc, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Actavis”) completed its acquisition of Allergan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Allergan”) pursuant to the terms of the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Actavis, Avocado Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and Allergan.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements

Effective as of immediately following the effective time of the Merger (as defined below) (the “Effective Time”), Actavis entered into deeds of indemnification (the “Deeds of Indemnification”) with each of Michael R. Gallagher and Peter J. McDonnell, M.D. in connection with their appointment to the Board of Directors of Actavis (the “Board”) pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and with each of Paul Navarre and Philippe Schaison in connection with their appointment as officers of Actavis. The Deeds of Indemnification provide indemnification to such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Ireland, and in accordance with Actavis’ Memorandum and Articles of Association, for all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in any action or proceeding in which the director or officer is or may be involved in by reason of the fact that he is or was an Actavis director or officer, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Deeds of Indemnification. Further, Actavis agrees to advance expenses incurred by such directors and officers in defense of these proceedings, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Deeds of Indemnification. The Deeds of Indemnification also provide procedures for requesting and obtaining indemnification and advancement of expenses.

Effective as of the Effective Time, Actavis W.C. Holding Inc. (“U.S. Holdco”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis, entered into indemnification agreements (the “Holdco Indemnification Agreements”) with each of Michael R. Gallagher and Peter J. McDonnell, M.D. in connection with their appointment to the Board pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and with each of Paul Navarre and Philippe Schaison in connection with their appointment as officers of Actavis. The Holdco Indemnification Agreements provide indemnification to such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and in accordance with U.S. Holdco’s Bylaws, for all expenses actually and reasonably incurred in any action or proceeding in which the director or officer is or may be involved by reason of the fact that he is or was an Actavis director or officer, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Holdco Indemnification Agreements. Further, U.S. Holdco agrees to advance expenses incurred by such directors and officers in defense of these proceedings, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Holdco Indemnification Agreements. The Holdco Indemnification Agreements also provide procedures for requesting and obtaining indemnification and advancement of expenses.

The foregoing descriptions of the Deeds of Indemnification and the Holdco Indemnification Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of the Deed of Indemnification and HoldCo Indemnification Agreement, respectively, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 17, 2015, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Allergan (the “Merger”), with Allergan continuing as the surviving company. As a result of the Merger, Allergan became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Actavis.

At the Effective Time, each share of Allergan common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Allergan Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Actavis, Merger Sub, Allergan or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive (i) $129.22 in cash, without interest and (ii) 0.3683 of an ordinary share (each, an “Actavis Ordinary Share”) of Actavis (together, the “Merger Consideration”). No fractional Actavis Ordinary Shares will be issued in the Merger, and Allergan’s former stockholders will receive cash, without interest, in lieu of fractional Actavis Ordinary Shares, if any.


The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 2.1 to Actavis’ Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on November 18, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by Actavis and Allergan with respect to matters as of specified dates. The representations and warranties: reflect negotiations between the parties to the Merger Agreement and are not intended as statements of fact to be relied upon by Actavis’ or Allergan’s shareholders; in certain cases, merely represent risk-allocation decisions among the parties; have been modified or qualified by certain confidential disclosures that were made between the parties in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not reflected in the Merger Agreement itself; may no longer be true as of a given date; and may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders. As such, the representations and warranties are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Actavis’ public disclosures.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) As previously announced, in connection with the Merger each of Tamar D. Howson, John A. King, Jiri Michal and Andrew L. Turner resigned from the Board effective as of the Effective Time. The decision of each of Ms. Howson and Messrs. King, Michal and Turner to resign from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with Actavis on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

(d) Effective immediately following the Effective Time, the Board has appointed each of Michael R. Gallagher and Peter J. McDonnell, M.D. to serve as members of the Board until Actavis’ 2015 annual general meeting of shareholders or such director’s earlier resignation, removal or death. Messrs. Gallagher and McDonnell were appointed pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, which required Actavis to take action necessary to cause two members of the Board of Directors of Allergan to become members of the Board immediately following the Effective Time. The Board expects to determine whether to appoint each of Michael R. Gallagher and Peter J. McDonnell, M.D. to committees of the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

(e)

Amended and Restated Allergan, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan

In connection with the completion of the Merger, and effective as of the Effective Time, the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Allergan, Inc. 2011 Incentive Award Plan (the “Legacy Allergan Plan”) to confirm and preserve Actavis’ ability to issue under the Legacy Allergan Plan the shares that remain available for issuance under the Legacy Allergan Plan (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the Merger) in satisfaction of the vesting, exercise or other settlement of options and other equity awards that may be granted by Actavis under the Legacy Allergan Plan following the completion of the Merger, subject to the requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and interpretive guidance thereunder, including, without limitation, Rule 303A.08.

Transformation Incentive Awards

In connection with the Merger, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of Transformation Incentive Awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan of Actavis plc (the “Amended and Restated Actavis Plan”), subject to shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan. The Transformation Incentive Awards were granted to certain executives, including Messrs. Saunders, Bisaro, Meury, and Stewart and Ms. Hilado, and provide for settlement in cash or Actavis Ordinary Shares with an equivalent fair market value, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of pre-


established non-GAAP earnings per share and total shareholder return (relative to a pre-established peer group) goals during the performance period, which for the non-GAAP earnings per share goal commences on the closing date of the Merger and continues through December 31, 2017, and which for the total shareholder return goal commences on the closing date of the Merger and continues through December 31, 2018. The Transformation Incentive 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 ($5,000,000), Mr. Meury ($5,000,000), Mr. Stewart ($5,000,000) and Ms. Hilado ($5,000,000), and the opportunity to earn up to a maximum of 200% of the respective officer’s target award. If Actavis shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Actavis Plan is not obtained, all such Transformation Incentive Awards will become null and void.

The foregoing summary of the Transformation Incentive Award does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Transformation Incentive Award Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Cautionary Statement Regarding 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,” “targets,” “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 Allergan acquisition, including future financial and operating results, Actavis’ or Allergan’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and the expected timing of completion of the transaction. 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, Allergan’s business and risks associated with acquisition transactions. These factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; restructuring in connection with the Allergan acquisition; subsequent integration of the Allergan acquisition and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of the Allergan acquisition; the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Actavis’ and Allergan’s products; Actavis’ and Allergan’s ability to successfully develop and commercialize new products; Actavis’ and Allergan’s ability to conform to regulatory standards and receive requisite regulatory approvals; availability of raw materials and other key ingredients; uncertainty and costs of legal actions and government investigations; the inherent uncertainty associated with financial projections; fluctuations in Actavis’ operating results and financial condition, particularly given our manufacturing and sales of branded and generic products; risks associated with acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures, such as difficulties integrating businesses, uncertainty associated with financial projections, projected synergies, restructuring, increased costs, and adverse tax consequences; the adverse impact of substantial debt and other financial obligations on the ability to fulfill and/or refinance debt obligations; risks associated with relationships with employees, vendors or key customers as a result of acquisitions of businesses, technologies or products; our compliance with federal and state healthcare laws, including laws related to fraud, abuse, privacy security and others; risks of the generic industry generally; generic product competition with our branded products; uncertainty associated with the development of commercially successful branded pharmaceutical products; uncertainty associated with development and approval of commercially successful biosimilar products; costs and efforts to defend or enforce technology rights, patents or other intellectual property; expiration of Actavis’ and Allergan’s patents on our branded products and the potential for increased competition from generic manufacturers; risks associated with owning the branded and generic version of a product; competition between branded and generic products; the ability of branded product manufacturers to limit the production, marketing and use of generic products; Actavis’ and Allergan’s ability to obtain and afford third-party licenses and proprietary technology we need; Actavis’ and Allergan’s potential infringement of others’ proprietary rights; our dependency on third-party service providers and third-party manufacturers and suppliers that in some cases may be the only source of finished products or raw materials that we need; Actavis’ competition with certain of our significant customers; the impact of our returns, allowance and chargeback policies on our future revenue; successful compliance with governmental regulations applicable to Actavis’ and Allergan’s respective third party providers’ facilities, products and/or businesses; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of product development efforts and regulatory agency approvals or actions, if any; Actavis’ and Allergan’s vulnerability to and ability to defend against product liability claims and obtain sufficient or any product liability insurance; Actavis’ and Allergan’s ability to retain qualified employees and key personnel; the effect of intangible assets and resulting impairment testing and impairment charges on our financial condition; Actavis’ ability to obtain additional debt or raise additional equity on terms that are favorable to Actavis; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; our ability to manage environmental liabilities; global economic conditions; Actavis’ ability to continue foreign operations in countries that have deteriorating political or diplomatic relationships with the United States; Actavis’ and Allergan’s ability to continue to maintain global operations; risks associated with tax liabilities, or changes in U.S. federal or international tax laws to which we are subject, including the risk that the Internal Revenue Service disagrees that Actavis is a foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes; risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; risks associated with cyber-security and vulnerability of our information and employee, customer and business information that Actavis stores digitally; Actavis’ ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting; changes in the laws and regulations, affecting among other things, availability, pricing and reimbursement of pharmaceutical products; the highly competitive nature of the pharmaceutical industry; Actavis’ ability to successfully navigate consolidation of our distribution network and concentration of our customer base; the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of pending or future litigation or government investigations; developments regarding products once they have reached the market and such other risks and uncertainties detailed in Actavis’ periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including but not limited to Actavis’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as amended from time to time in Actavis’ other investor communications. Except as expressly required by law, Actavis disclaims any intent or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 10.1

DEED OF INDEMNIFICATION

This Deed of Indemnification, dated as of March 17, 2015, 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Exhibit 10.2

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2015, 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Actavis Completes Allergan Acquisition

- Combination Creates One of the Fastest Growing, Most Dynamic Pharmaceutical Companies in Global Healthcare -

- Leading Positions in Eye Care, Neurosciences/CNS, Medical Aesthetics/Dermatology/Plastic Surgery, Women’s

Health, Gastroenterology and Urology -

- Expanded International Presence in Approximately 100 Countries -

- Deep Commitment to Partnering with Physicians, Pharmacists and Patients to Deliver Innovative Treatments -

- Larger Development-focused Innovative Pipeline -

- Experienced Leadership Team Leverages Strength from Both Companies -

DUBLIN, Ireland – March 17, 2015 – Actavis plc (NYSE: ACT) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) in a cash and equity transaction valued at approximately $70.5 billion. The combination creates one of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical companies by sales revenue, with combined annual pro forma revenues of more than $23 billion anticipated in 2015.

“The combination of Actavis and Allergan creates an exceptional global pharmaceutical company and a leader in a new industry model – Growth Pharma,” said Brent Saunders, CEO and President of Actavis. “Anchored by world-renowned brand franchises, a leading global generics business, a premier pharmaceutical development pipeline and an experienced management team committed to maintaining highly efficient operations across the organization, we are creating an unrivaled foundation for long-term growth.

“Our combined company will be built around a customer-focused commitment to partnering with physicians, pharmacists and patients to deliver innovative treatments and enhance access to important therapies around the world. We have industry-leading global commercial strength, with sustainable blockbuster brand franchises in key therapeutic categories and broad commercial reach extending across approximately 100 countries. Our experienced field-based representatives will continue to deliver exceptional support on a broad range of products to physicians and specialists around the world. And our powerful global supply chain is broadly recognized as a world leader, with continued excellence in quality and customer service.


“Supporting the growth of this innovative industry model is our strategically focused R&D engine, built on novel compounds in specialty and primary care markets where there is significant unmet medical need, and fueled by approximately $1.7 billion in annual investment. With an innovative product development portfolio exceeding 20 near-term projects and a world-class generics pipeline, which continues to hold an industry-leading position in First-to-File opportunities in the U.S. and more than 1,000 marketing authorizations globally, we are uniquely positioned within our industry to ensure our development activities support sustainable long-term organic growth.

“With the acquisition now complete, we will immediately begin implementing our comprehensive integration plans to ensure that we leverage our strengthened global organization to generate sustainable organic earnings growth from our newly expanded base, and continue our ascent into the fastest-growing and most dynamic growth pharmaceutical company in global healthcare.”

Financially Compelling Transaction

Actavis continues to expect the transaction to generate double-digit accretion to non-GAAP earnings within the first 12 months, including approximately $1.8 billion in operating and financial synergies to be realized within one year following the close. These synergies exclude any additional revenue or manufacturing synergies, and are in addition to the $475 million of annual savings previously announced by Allergan in connection with Project Endurance. Actavis further expects to generate strong operating cash flow in excess of $8 billion in 2016, which would enable the Company to rapidly de-lever the balance sheet.

Review of the Benefits of the Acquisition

The combination of Actavis and Allergan creates a pharmaceutical business with a growth profile unparalleled within the industry.

Significantly Expanded Brand Pharmaceutical Portfolio Supported by a World-Class Sales and Marketing Organization

The close of the transaction creates an exceptional global brand pharmaceutical business with leading positions in key therapeutic categories. The company has six blockbuster franchises with combined pro forma 2015 revenues of approximately $15 billion expected, including franchises with annual revenues in excess of $3 billion in Eye Care, Neurosciences/CNS and Medical Aesthetics/Dermatology/Plastic Surgery, as well as a portfolio of world-renowned brands including BOTOX®, RESTASIS®, JUVEDERM®, NAMENDA XR®, LINZESS® and LO LOESTRIN® Fe among others.

The combined company will continue to be recognized for its strong commitment as the partner of choice with physicians, specialists, pharmacists, regulators and patients. The combination is committed to creating the best customer experience, based on deeply-held relationships with customers and colleagues in approximately 100 countries around the world. The company’s experienced sales and marketing organization will continue to deliver exceptional support to more than a dozen medical specialists, including primary care physicians, ophthalmologists, optometrists, retinal specialists, neurologists, psychiatrists, dermatologists, aesthetic surgeons, medical aesthetic professionals, plastic surgeons, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, OB-GYNs, urologists, cardiologists, infectious disease specialists, pain specialists and rehabilitation specialists.


Enhanced Commercial Opportunities across Global Markets

The combination greatly enhances Actavis’ international commercial opportunities. The company has an expanded commercial presence now including approximately 100 countries, with an enhanced presence across Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia and Latin America and a strong footprint in China and India. The combined company will benefit from Allergan’s global brand equity, industry-leading consumer marketing capabilities and strong consumer awareness of key Allergan products in global markets, including BOTOX®, RESTASIS®, JUVEDERM®, LATISSE®, NATRELLE® and others. On a pro forma basis, the company is expected to have approximately $5 billion in 2015 international revenue, and will have the unique opportunity to drive continued growth in international markets through its enhanced portfolio of brands, generics, branded-generic and over-the-counter products.

Strengthened and Expanded Pharmaceutical R&D Pipeline

The combined company will provide a strong commitment to R&D, with an exceptional level of investment of approximately $1.7 billion expected in 2015, focused on the strategic development of innovative and durable value-enhancing products within brands, generics, biologics and OTC portfolios. The company has more than 20 innovative products in near- or mid-term development, including Cariprazine, Eluxadoline, Esmya, Aczone X and Darpin AMD, among other promising candidates. The company’s pipeline is strategically focused within its core therapeutic areas, with key candidates in Dermatology and Aesthetics, Eye Care, CNS, GI, Anti-infectives, Women’s Health and Urology. The Company’s generics pipeline is also positioned to deliver sustainable growth, with approximately 230 Abbreviated New Drug Applications pending at FDA, including approximately 70 first-to-file applications, as well as nearly 1,000 marketing authorization applications filed outside of the U.S. in 2014.

Commitment to Being the Partner of Choice for Physicians, Patients and the Medical Community

The combined company will retain Allergan’s foundational commitment to being the partner of choice for physicians, patients and the medical community. The Company will continue to foster deep engagement with medical specialists, listening closely to their needs to help advance patient care and deliver treatments that address significant unmet medical needs. In addition, the Company will continue to go above and beyond to provide education and information - with the highest level of integrity - that helps patients fully understand the choices available to them and make well-informed treatment decisions with their doctors. Through these essential partnerships, the Company will continue to bring to bear scientific excellence and rigor to deliver leading products that improve patient outcomes.

Strong Combined Global Leadership Team with Deep Experience across the Business

The combined company’s expanded senior management team is comprised of leaders from both Actavis and Allergan. It is structured to leverage the strong talent from both organizations to ensure that the new company capitalizes on its expanded global commercial footprint and the proven track record of Allergan’s powerful and critically important product franchises, while maintaining Actavis’ continued dominance as a world leader in generics. With this structure in place beginning on Day 1, the company is immediately positioned to maximize growth across all of its global businesses.

I also want to thank Tamar, John, and Jiri for serving on our Board since the acquisition of Warner Chilcott and guiding the foundational combination that expanded Actavis’ position of leadership in key brand therapeutic categories, as well as Andy Turner, whose years of service, including previously as Chairman of the Board, have been instrumental as we have dramatically reshaped our Company.

“Finally, I want to offer my sincere appreciation to David Pyott for his support and hard work in leading Allergan to this historic combination. His tremendous leadership and impact during his more than 17 years with the company have transformed Allergan into one of the leading healthcare companies in the world. Since we announced the proposed acquisition last year, I have had the opportunity to work with David on an almost daily basis and appreciate his enthusiasm, counsel and hard work in helping to plan for the coming together of our two companies, ensuring that we will realize the full potential of the historic combination of Actavis and Allergan beginning on Day 1.”


“I am pleased that Michael and Peter will be joining the Board of the combined company. Their exceptional qualifications – in particular Michael’s nearly two decades on the Allergan Board and Peter’s leading stature in Ophthalmology – have been valuable contributors to Allergan’s tremendous achievements during the last several years and will be critical in ensuring the continued success of the new company going forward,” said David Pyott, Chairman and CEO of Allergan. “Personally, I am excited for the opportunity to pursue new interests, including my work with a few public company boards, several universities in the U.S. and the UK and ophthalmic charities whose goals are to improve eye health in emerging markets. To this end, I am very pleased to be continuing as Chairman of the Board of The Allergan Foundation, where I can continue its important work. I have been honored to work closely with Brent, Paul and members of the management teams of both companies as we have focused on the integration efforts to bring these two exceptional organizations together in a way that will position it for continued long-term growth.”
