LLC, are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”). The Company also proposes to grant to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 337,500 additional Preferred Shares to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Option Securities”; the Option Securities, together with the Underwritten Securities, being hereinafter called the “Securities”). The Preferred Shares will be convertible into a variable number of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each ADS representing one ordinary share, NIS 0.10 par value, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”). Such ADSs into which the Securities are convertible are hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Securities.” Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “Conversion Securities” shall be deemed to include the underlying Ordinary Shares.
The terms of the Preferred Shares are set forth in the Designations of the Terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares (the “Designations”), which form a part of the Company’s Articles of Association, as amended, and the certificate for the Preferred Shares issued in accordance therewith (the “PS Certificate”).
The Underwriters have advised the Company that they will offer and sell the Securities purchased from them hereunder in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement as soon as they deem advisable.
The ADSs are to be issued (upon conversion of the Securities) pursuant to the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated November 5, 2012 (the “Deposit Agreement”), among the Company, X.X. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Bank N.A., as depositary, and the holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) issued by the Depositary and evidencing the ADSs.
The Company is concurrently entering into an underwriting agreement, dated the date hereof, providing for the sale by the Company of up to 59,400,000 of its Ordinary Shares.
On July 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Master Purchase Agreement (the “Allergan Purchase Agreement”) with Allergan plc, a public company limited by shares organized under the laws of Ireland (“Allergan”), that provides for the acquisition of the generics business and certain other assets of Allergan by the Company. As used herein, “Actavis Generics” shall refer to the businesses and assets to be acquired by the Company from Allergan pursuant to the Allergan Purchase Agreement.
Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the Incorporated Documents as of the Effective Time of the Registration Statement or the issue date of such Prospectus or Preliminary Prospectus, respectively, and any reference herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after the Effective Time

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the ADR Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any materials used by the Company in meetings with investors, or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and shall reimburse each Underwriter and each such officer, employee, agent and controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by that Underwriter, officer, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case
23
to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any materials used by the Company in meetings with investors, or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein and described in Section 7(e). The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Underwriter or to any officer, employee or controlling person of that Underwriter.
(b) Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors, agents, employees and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company or its directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon:
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with the written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of that Underwriter specifically for inclusion therein and described in Section 7(e), and shall reimburse the Company and any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. The foregoing indemnity agreement is in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have to the Company or any such director, officer, agent, employee or controlling person.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.
24
If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that the Underwriters shall have the right to employ counsel to represent jointly the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Underwriters against the Company under this Section 7, if the Underwriters shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Underwriters and their respective officers, employees, agents and controlling persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents and controlling persons, and the reasonable fees and expenses of a single separate counsel shall be paid, jointly and severally, by the Company. No indemnifying party shall:
(i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or
(ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 shall for any reason be unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 7(a) or 7(b) in respect of any loss, claim, damage or liability, or any action in respect thereof, referred to therein, each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof:
(i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities, or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
25
The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other with respect to such offering shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters with respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other hand, bear to the total gross proceeds from the offering of the Securities under this Agreement, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if the amount of contributions pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7(d) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7(d), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7(d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities resold by it in the initial placement of such Securities were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7(d) are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.
(e) The Underwriters severally confirm that the statements with respect to the delivery of the Securities set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus and the tenth, eleventh and twelfth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus and the most recent Preliminary Prospectus are correct and constitute the only information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for inclusion in the most recent Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof.
26
8. Defaulting Underwriters.
If, on the Delivery Date, any Underwriter defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on such Delivery Date in the respective proportions which the total aggregate number of Securities set opposite the name of each remaining non-defaulting Underwriter in Schedule I hereto bears to the total aggregate number of Securities set opposite the names of all the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase any Securities on such Delivery Date if the total aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such date exceeds 9.09% of the total aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date, and any remaining non-defaulting Underwriter shall not be obligated to purchase more than 110% of the aggregate number of Securities which it agreed to purchase on such Delivery Date pursuant to the terms of Section 2. If the foregoing maximums are exceeded, the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters, or those other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters who so agree, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase on such Delivery Date, in such proportion as may be agreed upon among them, the total aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such Delivery Date. If the remaining Underwriters or other purchasers satisfactory to the Underwriters do not elect to purchase on such Delivery Date the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses to the extent set forth in Sections 4 and 9. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise, any party not listed in Schedule I hereto who, pursuant to this Section 8, purchases any Securities which a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.
Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company for damages caused by its default. If other purchasers are obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting or withdrawing Underwriter, either the remaining non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Delivery Date for up to seven full business days in order to effect any changes in the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement that, in the opinion of counsel to the Company or counsel to the Underwriters, may be necessary.
9. Termination. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder may be terminated by the Representatives by notice given to and received by the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities if, prior to that time, any of the events described in Sections 5(m) and (n) shall have occurred or if the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement.
10. Reimbursement of Underwriters’ Expenses. If (a) the Company shall fail to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement or (b) the Underwriters shall decline to purchase the Securities because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement or if the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
27
Agreement, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for the fees and expenses of their counsel and for such other out-of-pocket expenses as shall have been incurred by them in connection with this Agreement and the proposed purchase of the Securities, and upon demand the Company shall pay the full amount thereof to the Underwriters. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 by reason of the default of one or more Underwriters, the Company shall not be obligated to reimburse any defaulting Underwriter on account of those expenses.
11. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:

Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters).
