between the provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for

Additional Termination Events:
The occurrence of an Amendment Event or a Repayment Event shall be an Additional Termination Event
with respect to which the Transaction is the sole Affected Transaction, Counterparty is the sole
Affected Party and Dealer is the sole party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date;
provided that in the case of a Repayment Event, the Transaction shall be subject to termination

Disposition of Hedge Shares:
Counterparty hereby agrees that if, in the reasonable judgment of Seller based on advice of
counsel, the Shares acquired by Seller for the purpose of hedging its obligations pursuant to the
Transaction (the “Hedge Shares”) cannot be sold in the U.S. public market by Seller without
registration under the Securities Act, Counterparty shall, at its election: (i) in order to allow
Seller to sell the Hedge Shares in a registered offering, use commercially reasonable efforts to
make available to Seller an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the
resale of such Hedge Shares and (a) enter into an agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to
Seller, substantially in the form of an underwriting agreement for a registered offering, (b)
provide accountant’s “comfort” letters in customary form for registered offerings of equity
securities, (c) provide disclosure opinions of nationally recognized outside counsel to
Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Seller, (d) provide other customary opinions, certificates
and closing documents customary in form for registered offerings of equity securities and (e)
afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to conduct a “due diligence” investigation with respect to
Counterparty customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities; provided, however,
that if Seller, in its sole reasonable discretion, is not satisfied with access to due diligence
materials, the results of its due diligence investigation, or the procedures and documentation for
the registered offering referred to above, then clause (ii) or clause (iii) of this Section shall
apply at the election of Counterparty; (ii) in order to allow Seller to sell the Hedge Shares in a
private placement, enter into a private placement agreement substantially similar to private
placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities by a publicly
reporting company (if Counterparty is a publicly reporting company at such time) to institutional
purchasers, in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, including reasonable and customary
representations, covenants, blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations,
indemnities to Seller, due diligence rights (for Seller or any designated buyer of the Hedge Shares
from Seller), opinions and certificates and such other documentation as is customary for private
placements agreements, all reasonably acceptable to Seller (in which case, the Calculation Agent
shall make any adjustments to the terms of the Transaction that are necessary to compensate Seller
for any discount from the public market price of the Shares (other than any discount in respect of
commissions or fees payable to any third party) incurred on the sale of Hedge Shares in a private
placement); or (iii) purchase the Hedge Shares from Seller at the VWAP Price on such Exchange
Business Days, and in such amounts, as requested by Seller. “VWAP Price” means, on any
Exchange Business Day, the per Share volume-weighted average price as displayed under the heading
“Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page MYL.N <equity> VAP (or any successor thereto) in respect
of the period from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Exchange Business Day (or if
such volume-weighted average
OTC Convertible Note Hedge (2015)
9
price is unavailable, the market value of one Share on such Exchange
Business Day, as determined by the Calculation Agent using a volume-weighted method).
Repurchase Notices:
Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares, promptly
give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”) on such day if
following such repurchase, the Notice Percentage as determined on such day is (i) greater than 6%
and (ii) greater by 0.5% than the Notice Percentage included in the immediately preceding
Repurchase Notice (or, in the case of the first such Repurchase Notice, greater than the Notice
Percentage as of the date hereof). In the event that Counterparty fails to provide Seller with a
Repurchase Notice on the day and in the manner specified in this section, then Counterparty agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
employees, agents and controlling persons (Seller and each such person being an “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof), joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under
applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act, relating
to or arising out of such failure. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable
to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty
shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the
Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition, Counterparty
will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable and documented expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred (after notice to Counterparty) in
connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or
threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such
Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is
initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. This indemnity shall survive the completion
of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and delegation of the
Transaction made pursuant to this Confirmation or the Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any
permitted assignee of Seller. Counterparty will not be liable under this Indemnity provision to
the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a
court to have resulted from Dealer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The “Notice
Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (i) the numerator of which is
the product of (a) the Applicable Percentage, (b) the number of outstanding Reference Notes and (c)
a number of Shares per Reference Note equal to the Conversion Reference Rate (as defined in the
Note Indenture) and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day).
Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notices
Counterparty shall provide to Dealer written notice (such notice, a “Conversion Reference Rate
Adjustment Notice”) prior to the proposed effective date of any transaction or event (a
“Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event”) that would lead to an increase in the
Conversion Reference Rate (as such term is defined in the Note Indenture). Each Conversion
Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall be delivered to Dealer at or prior to the deadline for
delivery of the related notices to the trustee under the Note Indenture. In connection with the
delivery of any Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice to Dealer, (x) Counterparty shall,
concurrently with or prior to such delivery, publicly announce and disclose the Conversion
Reference Rate Adjustment Event or (y) Counterparty shall, concurrently with such delivery,
represent and warrant that the information set forth in such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment
Notice does not constitute material non-public information with respect to Counterparty or the
Shares. The Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice shall set forth the new, adjusted
Conversion Reference Rate after giving effect to such Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Event
(the “New Conversion Reference Rate”); provided that if the New Conversion Reference Rate
cannot be determined at the time of delivery of the Conversion Reference Rate Adjustment Notice,
Counterparty shall provide to Dealer written notice of the New Conversion Reference Rate as
promptly as practicable following the availability of information required for its determination.

Seller may transfer any of its rights or delegate its obligations under this Transaction with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer and Seller agree that it shall not be unreasonable for Buyer to withhold consent to any delegation of Seller’s obligations under this Transaction to an entity the long-term U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of which are rated below A by Standard & Poors’ and below A2 by Xxxxx’x. | |
If as determined in Dealer’s sole discretion, at any time Dealer’s Ownership Percentage (as defined below) exceeds 8.5% (an “Excess Ownership Position”) and Dealer, in its discretion, is unable to effect a transfer or assignment to a third party after its commercially reasonable efforts on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Dealer and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Dealer (including without limitation where such inability of Seller is due to Buyer’s withholding or delaying of consent to such transfer or assignment) such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists, Dealer may designate any Scheduled Trading Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion (the “Terminated Portion”) of the Transaction, such that an Excess Ownership Position no longer exists following such partial termination. In the event that Dealer so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a payment or delivery shall be made pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement as if (i) an Early Termination Date had been designated in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Terminated Portion of the Transaction, (ii) Counterparty were the sole Affected Party with respect to such partial termination, (iii) such portion of the Transaction were the only Terminated Transaction and (iv) Dealer were the party entitled to designate an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Agreement and to determine the amount payable pursuant to Section 6(e) of the Agreement. The “Ownership Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (1) the number of Shares that Dealer and any of its affiliates subject to aggregation with Dealer for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act but excluding any group formed for the affirmative purpose of changing or influencing control of the Issuer) with Dealer (collectively, “Dealer Group”) “beneficially own” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) without duplication on such day and (2) the number of shares that Dealer and all persons comprising part of the same “acquiring person” as Dealer “beneficially own”, as each such term is used in Counterparty’s Rights Agreement between the Counterparty and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company dated as of August 22, 1996, as amended as of November 8, 1999, August 13, 2004, September 8, 2004, December 2, 2004 and December 19, 2005 (as so amended and as may be subsequently amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Rights Agreement”), on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day. |

Dealer may assign and delegate its rights and obligations under this Transaction without the consent of the Buyer to any subsidiary of ML & Co. (the “Assignee”) by notice specifying the effective date of such transfer (“Transfer Effective Date”) and including an (i) executed acceptance and assumption by the Assignee of such rights and obligations and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Counterparty that such obligations of the Assignee are guaranteed by ML & Co. to substantially the same extent as Dealer’s obligations under this Transaction; provided that (i) Counterparty will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to pay to the Assignee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) greater than the amount in respect of which Counterparty would have been required to pay to Dealer in the absence of such transfer; and (ii) the Assignee will not, as a result of such transfer, be required to withhold or deduct on account of a Tax under Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e)) an amount in excess of that which Dealer would have been required to withhold or deduct in the absence of such transfer, unless the Assignee would be required to make additional payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement corresponding to such excess. | ||
On the Transfer Effective Date, (a) Dealer shall be released from all obligations and liabilities arising under this Transaction; and (b) the assigned and delegated rights and obligations under this Transaction shall cease to be a Transaction under the Agreement and shall be deemed to be a Transaction under an ISDA form of Master Agreement (Multicurrency-Cross Border) and Schedule substantially in the form of the Agreement but amended to reflect the name of the Assignee and the address for notices and any amended representations under Part 2 of the Agreement as may be specified in the notice of transfer. | ||
Right to Extend:
|
Dealer may postpone any Exercise Date or Settlement Date or any other date of valuation or delivery by Dealer, with respect to some or all of the relevant Options (in which event the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments to the Delivery Obligation), if Dealer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such extension is reasonably necessary or appropriate to preserve Dealer’s hedging or hedge unwind activity hereunder in light of existing liquidity conditions in the cash market, the stock borrow market or other relevant market or to enable Dealer to effect purchases of Shares in connection with its hedging, hedge unwind or settlement activity hereunder in a manner that would, if Dealer were Counterparty or an affiliated purchaser of Counterparty, be in compliance with applicable legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements, or with related policies and procedures applicable to Dealer. | |

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTEE OF XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO., INC.
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO., INC., a
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“ML & Co.”),
hereby unconditionally guarantees to Mylan Inc. (the “Company”), the due and punctual payment of
any and all amounts payable by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International, a company organized under the laws of
England and Wales (“ML”), under the terms of the Confirmation of OTC Convertible Note Hedge between
the Company and ML (ML as Seller), dated as of September 9, 2008, with respect to the Reference
Notes (as defined therein) of Company due 2015 (the “Confirmation”), including, in case of default,
interest on any amount due, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the
scheduled payment dates, at maturity, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, according to
the terms thereof. In case of the failure of ML punctually to make any such payment, ML & Co.
hereby agrees to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon demand made by
the Company to ML & Co.; provided, however that delay by the Company in giving such demand shall in
no event affect ML & Co.’s obligations under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full
force and effect or shall be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time any payment guaranteed
hereunder, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Company upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of ML or otherwise, all as though such payment had not
been made.
ML & Co. hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder constitute a guarantee of payment when
due and not of collection and that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective
of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Confirmation; the absence of any action to
enforce the same; any waiver or consent by the Company concerning any provisions thereof; the
rendering of any judgment against ML or any action to enforce the same; or any other circumstances
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or a defense of a
guarantor. ML covenants that this guarantee will not be discharged except by complete payment of
the amounts payable under the Confirmation. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective if XX
xxxxxx or consolidates with or into another entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to
exist.
ML & Co. shall not exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation as a result
of a payment by it under this Guarantee at any time when any of the obligations of ML shall have
become due and remain unpaid. Any amount paid to ML & Co. in violation of the preceding sentence
shall be held for the benefit of the Company and shall forthwith be paid to the Company to be
credited and applied to such obligations of ML then due and unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, upon
payment of all such obligations of ML, ML & Co. shall be subrogated to the rights of the Company
against ML, and the Company agrees to take at ML & Co.’s expense such steps as ML &Co. may
reasonably request to implement such subrogation.
ML & Co. hereby waives diligence; presentment; protest; notice of protest, acceleration, and
dishonor; filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of ML; all demands
whatsoever, except as noted in the first paragraph hereof; and any right to require a proceeding
first against ML.
ML & Co. hereby certifies and warrants that this Guarantee constitutes the valid obligation of
ML & Co. and complies with all applicable laws.
This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York.
This Guarantee becomes effective concurrent with the effectiveness of the Confirmation,
according to its terms.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ML & Co. has caused this Guarantee to be executed in its corporate name by its
duly authorized representative.
