Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of Ultimate Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.
(b) Changes in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either Ultimate Parent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Ultimate Parent shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) Ultimate Parent shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the
28
Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, leases will be accounted for, and all calculations, ratios and computations with respect to leases contained in this Agreement will be computed with respect to each lease, without giving effect to any change to GAAP occurring after the date hereof as a result of the adoption of any proposals set forth in the Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 840), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on August 17, 2010, or any other proposals issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require treating any lease as a capital lease where such lease would not have been required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on the date hereof.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Contract applicable to such Indebtedness).
SECTION 1.04 Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by Ultimate Parent pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWINGS
SECTION 2.01 Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Three Year Lender agrees to make a term loan (each such loan, a “Three Year Loan”) to the Borrower in US Dollars on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Three Year Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Three Year Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Five Year Lender agrees to make a term loan (each such loan, a “Five Year Loan”) to the Borrower in US Dollars on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Five Year Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Five Year Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
SECTION 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of any Borrowing from one Type to the other, and each continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing will be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than (i) 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the requested date of any Borrowing of, or conversion to, Base Rate Loans; provided that if the Borrower specifies a Pre-Funding Date in any Loan Notice, then such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Pre-Funding Date; provided further that if the Borrower wishes to request a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing having an Interest Period other than one, two, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, whereupon the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.
Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Loan Notice and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, each Borrowing shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such applicable Loan Notice. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate
30
Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.02(a). The Borrower may elect different conversion or continuation options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing (and all references herein to conversion or continuation of a Borrowing shall be understood to include any such election of different options with respect thereto), in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the Closing Date, each Base Rate Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) will specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of any Borrowing from one Type to the other, or a continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, (ii) whether such Borrowing is a Three Year Borrowing or a Five Year Borrowing, (iii) the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), and if applicable, the anticipated Closing Date and the requested Pre-Funding Date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or the existing Borrowing that is to be converted or continued (and, if different conversion or continuation options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing), (v) the Type of each requested resulting Borrowing, provided that if any Loan Notice specifies a Pre-Funding Date, then the requested Borrowing shall initially be a Base Rate Borrowing, (vi) the duration of the Interest Period with respect to each requested resulting Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (vii) if applicable, the location and number of the account of the Borrower to which funds are to be disbursed, which account shall be located in New York City, Switzerland or another jurisdiction acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of the requested Loans in a Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans will be made as Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to give timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing will be continued with an Interest Period of one month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, Eurodollar Rate Loans in any Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of each resulting Borrowing. Subject to Section 2.02(c), in the case of a Loan Notice requesting the making of a Borrowing, each Lender will make the amount of its Loan to be made as part of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, in Same Day Funds by wire transfer to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of such Borrowing specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Subject to Section 2.02(c), upon satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 11.01) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly remitting the amounts so received, in Same Day Funds by wire transfer to the account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Loan Notice.
(c) (i) The Borrower may specify in its Loan Notice requesting the making of Loans the date (such date being referred to as the “Pre-Funding Date”), which shall be a Business Day occurring after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, and shall not be earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date set forth in such Loan Notice, on which each Lender shall be required to pre-fund to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Loan requested to be made in
31
such Loan Notice. If a Pre-Funding Date has been specified in a Loan Notice, each Lender shall remit to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of each Class of Loans requested in such Loan Notice to be made on the Closing Date, in Same Day Funds by wire transfer to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders (the funds so remitted by any Lender to the Administrative Agent being referred to as the “Pre-Advanced Funds” of such Lender). Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to make its Pre-Advanced Funds available to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.02(c)(ii). Prior to the release thereof in accordance with Section 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall hold the Pre-Advanced Funds of any Lender, solely for the benefit of such Lender, in a non-interest bearing deposit account with JPMCB (and the Administrative Agent may deposit the Pre-Advanced Funds with JPMCB pursuant to an escrow arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and JPMCB, in its capacity as the escrow agent, with the Borrower hereby agreeing that, prior to the Pre-Funding Date, it shall enter into an escrow agreement with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and JPMCB, in its capacity as the escrow agent). It is understood and agreed that, without limiting the obligations of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in any Pre-Advanced Funds, and shall have no right to give directions or instructions to the Administrative Agent with regard to investment, application, withdrawal or remittance of any Pre-Advanced Funds or otherwise with respect to any Pre-Advanced Funds.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall withdraw and remit the Pre-Advanced Funds of any Lender only as follows: (A) the Administrative Agent shall make the Pre-Advanced Funds of each Lender available to the Borrower by remitting the entire amount thereof, in Same Day Funds by wire transfer to an account of the Borrower specified in the applicable Loan Notice, such remittance to be made not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the anticipated Closing Date (or, subject to clause (B) below, such later time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree), subject to the Administrative Agent having received evidence satisfactory to it that the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been, or substantially concurrently therewith will be, satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 11.01), it being understood and agreed that the obligation of each Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of its Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(b) shall be satisfied to the extent of its Pre-Advanced Funds so remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, or (B) if for any reason the Closing Date does not occur on or before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Loan Notice, or in the event the Aggregate Commitments shall terminate or be reduced to zero as set forth in Section 2.07, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to each Lender such Lender’s Pre-Advanced Funds. Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.04, each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that in releasing any Pre-Advanced Funds pursuant to clause (A) above, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the certificate of a Responsible Officer of Ultimate Parent delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i).
(iii) Whether or not the Closing Date occurs and whether or not Loans are made on the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender of each Class an amount (the “Pre-Funding Compensation Amount”) that is equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued hereunder on its Pre-Advanced Funds in respect of Loans of any Class if such Pre-Advanced Funds had been used to fund Base Rate Loans of such Class on the Pre-Funding Date (or, if later, the date such Pre-Advanced Funds were delivered to
32
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(i)) and as if such Loans were outstanding for the period of time that such Pre-Advanced Funds are held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.02(c). To the extent that the Pre-Advanced Funds of any Lender are used to fund its Applicable Percentage of any Class of Loans made on the Closing Date, the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount due to such Lender in respect of such Class of Loans shall be payable by the Borrower to such Lender on the first Interest Payment Date for such Class of Loans following the Closing Date. To the extent that all or any part of the Pre-Advanced Funds of any Lender are returned by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for any reason and are not used to fund Loans, the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount due to such Lender shall be payable by the Borrower to such Lender within one (1) Business Day after demand.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the existence of an Event of Default, no Borrowing may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Borrowing without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(e) The applicable Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable Class of the Eurodollar Rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for any Interest Period promptly upon determination thereof. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Borrowings from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, there will not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans.
SECTION 2.03 [Reserved].
SECTION 2.04 [Reserved].
SECTION 2.05 [Reserved].
SECTION 2.06 Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice from it to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Borrowing and (ii) on the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing; (b) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (c) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount of the Loans of the applicable Class and Type then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the applicable Class of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment of any Borrowing. If such notice is given by the Borrower, it will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and
33
payable on the date specified therein; provided that, subject to Section 3.05, such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied and, in the case of such revocation, the Borrower shall not be required to make such prepayment and such prepayment amount shall cease to be due and payable. Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, shall be subject to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising the prepaid Borrowing and, in the case of a prepayment of any Five Year Borrowing, shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Five Year Borrowings to be made pursuant to Section 2.08(b) in the manner directed by the Borrower or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity.
SECTION 2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction will be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of any Class delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of termination) if such condition is not satisfied.
(b) Each Lender’s Commitment of any Class shall be automatically reduced by the amount of each Loan of such Class made by such Lender, such reduction to be effective immediately following the making of such Loan by such Lender. Unless previously terminated, the Aggregate Commitments shall terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the Outside Date, (ii) the consummation of the Allergan Acquisition without the borrowing by the Borrower of any Loans hereunder, (iii) the termination of the Allergan Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iv) 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date.
(c) Promptly following receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 2.07(a), the Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of the applicable Class of the details thereof. Any partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class will be applied to the Commitments of such Class of the Lenders according to their respective Three Year Applicable Percentages or Five Year Applicable Percentages, as applicable. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. All Ticking Fees accrued through the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class (in the case of any reduction, in respect of the aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Class subject to such reduction) shall be payable on the date of such termination or reduction.
SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower will repay the full outstanding principal amount of the Three Year Loans on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loans.
(b) The Borrower will repay the Five Year Borrowings in equal quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March, commencing with the first such date to occur at least one full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date and ending on the last such day to occur prior to the Maturity Date for the Five Year Loans, in an aggregate principal amount for
34
each such date equal to 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Five Year Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (as such amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.06). To the extent not previously paid as of such date, the Borrower will repay the full outstanding principal amount of the Five Year Loans on the Maturity Date with respect to such Loans.
SECTION 2.09 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Three Year Loans or Five Year Loans, as applicable; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans that are Three Year Loans or Five Year Loans, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.09(a), (ii) in the case of overdue interest or fees with respect to any Loan or Commitment of any Class, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans of such Class as provided in Section 2.09(a) or (iii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans that are Three Year Loans as provided in Section 2.09(a).
(c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(d) Interest on each Loan will be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest hereunder will be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
SECTION 2.10 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (subject to Section 2.15 in the case of any Defaulting Lender), a ticking fee in US Dollars (collectively, the “Ticking Fees”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.175% per annum times the daily aggregate amount of the Commitments of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date until the earlier of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) the termination or expiration of the Commitments of such Lender (such earlier date, the “Ticking Fee End Date”). Accrued Ticking Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, on the Ticking Fee End Date and at such other times as may be specified herein.
(b) The Borrower will pay on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Three Year Lender, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Three Year Loans, an upfront fee in an amount as separately agreed by Ultimate Parent and the Arrangers. The Borrower will pay on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Five Year
35
Lender, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Five Year Loans, an upfront fee in an amount as separately agreed by Ultimate Parent and the Arrangers. Such upfront fees shall be netted against the gross proceeds of the Three Year Loans or the Five Year Loans, as applicable, made by such Lender.
(c) The Borrower will pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, for their own respective accounts, in US Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Arrangers, in the case of fees payable to them) for distribution, in the case of Ticking Fees and upfront fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. All fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
SECTION 2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate will be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest will accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and will not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made will, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.12 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender will be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender will be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will provide to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, upon their request, a statement of Loans, payments and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement will be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower (except for corrections and errors discovered by the Administrative Agent), unless the Borrower or Ultimate Parent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which will evidence such Lender’s Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
SECTION 2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders to
36
which such payments are due (except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto), in each case in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date specified herein. All such payments to the Administrative Agent shall be made to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day will be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower will come due on a day that is not a Business Day, payment will be made on the next following Business Day, except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” or “Maturity Date”, and such extension of time will be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans of the applicable Class. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent will promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid will constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(b) will be conclusive, absent manifest error.
37
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. In the event that:
(i) any Lender made available to the Administrative Agent its Pre-Advanced Funds and, subsequent thereto, such Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written notice prior to 7:00 a.m., New York City time, on the anticipated Closing Date (as such date is specified in the applicable Loan Notice or, in the case of any extension thereof as contemplated by Section 2.02(c)(ii), as such date is agreed to be extended to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that any one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 is not capable of being satisfied as and when required by Section 4.02 with respect to such anticipated Closing Date, specifying any such condition and an explanation for its assertion that such condition is not capable of being so satisfied, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent shall not, and shall not be required to, make available to the Borrower in accordance with such Section such Lender’s Pre-Advanced Funds (but, for the avoidance of doubt, may make available in accordance with such Section the Pre-Advanced Funds of any other Lender) and shall instead return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest (it being understood and agreed that delivery of any such notice by any Lender shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against such Lender for its failure to make any Loan required to be made by it hereunder); or
(ii) any Lender made available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in Section 2.02(b), and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 11.01), the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.04, each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that in releasing to the Borrower any funds made available to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, (A) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon the certificate of a Responsible Officer of Ultimate Parent delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) and (B) any good faith determination by the Administrative Agent that any condition set forth in Section 4.02 has been satisfied shall, subject to clauses (i) and (ii) above, be binding on each Lender.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to deliver its Pre-Advanced Funds, to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder will not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender so to deliver its Pre-Advanced Funds, to make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
SECTION 2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
38
amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans, provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.14 will not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Laws, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.15 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Ticking Fees. Ticking Fees shall cease to accrue on the amount of the Commitments of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a), and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any Ticking Fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date such confirmation is so received or the effective date specified in such notice (and subject to any conditions set forth therein), as applicable, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, take such actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be appropriate in connection with such Lender ceasing to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to
39
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
SECTION 3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party or Ultimate Parent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Withholding Agent, as the case may be, including upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(e).
(ii) If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required, including based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to Section 3.01(e), (B) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party or Ultimate Parent shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties and Ultimate Parent. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a), the Loan Parties shall and Ultimate Parent shall, or shall cause the Loan Parties to, timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, except for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b) if such assignment is not at the request of Ultimate Parent or the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b), each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and
40
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or such Lender) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to give written notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the assertion of any claim against such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, relating to such Indemnified Taxes no later than 180 days after the principal officer of such party responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by Section 3.01(c)(ii) after the Administrative Agent has exercised such remedies provided in Section 3.01(c)(ii) as the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion determines to be appropriate. A certificate as to any amount due pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(i) delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) or 3.01(b), and except as provided below, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, against any and all (A) Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender incurred by or asserted against the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority in connection with any Loan Document and any and all related penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and (B) without duplication of clause (A), Taxes and any and all related penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(e). In no event, however, shall any Lender indemnify the Loan Parties for any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender) to set off and apply any and all amounts (including interest and fees) at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.01(c)(ii). The agreements in this Section 3.01(c)(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower or Ultimate Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
41
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by applicable Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and to the Administrative Agent (if applicable), if reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) the entitlement of such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Person’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), the completion, execution and submission of the documentation referred to in this Section 3.01(e) (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)(I), (ii)(B)(II), (ii)(B)(III), (ii)(B)(IV) and 3.01(g)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Lender that is a US Person shall, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this clause (A)), deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will establish its exemption from backup withholding; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Foreign Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this clause (B), or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), two of whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
42
(II) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8EXP (or successor form),
(III) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of such payments, properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), and all required supporting documentation, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide certification documents on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,
(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, F-2, F-3 or F-4, as applicable, and (y) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form), or
(V) properly completed and executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Person, and as may be reasonably necessary (including, in the case of any Lender, the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for Taxes from amounts payable to such Person.
(iv) The Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request in writing, in a timely fashion after the Effective Date, such documents and forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by the Borrower, as are required to be furnished by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid
43
for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for this purpose, a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or Ultimate Parent or with respect to which a Loan Party or Ultimate Parent has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party or Ultimate Parent under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party or Ultimate Parent to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.01(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties, Ultimate Parent or any other Person.
(g) Additional Withholding Documentation. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to United States federal withholding Tax under FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.
(h) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(i) VAT.
(i) All amounts set out or expressed in any Loan Document to be payable by any party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply for VAT purposes shall, except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative or such Lender, as applicable, be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply. Subject to Section 3.01(i)(ii), if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any party under any Loan Document, such party shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply), an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall have delivered to such party an invoice complying with the applicable legal requirements) unless such party is obligated by applicable Law to account directly to the applicable Governmental Authority for such VAT or the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, has reasonably determined that it is entitled to a refund or credit in respect of the amount of such VAT.
44
(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Lender (the “VAT Recipient”) under any Loan Document, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “VAT Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration), then: (x) in the case where the VAT Supplier is the Person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the VAT Relevant Party shall also pay to the VAT Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT and the VAT Recipient shall (where the immediately foregoing clause (x) applies) promptly pay to the VAT Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant Governmental Authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and (y) in the case where the VAT Recipient is the Person required to account to the relevant Governmental Authority for the VAT, the VAT Relevant Party shall promptly, following demand from the VAT Recipient, pay to the VAT Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the VAT Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant Governmental Authority in respect of that VAT.
(iii) Where any Loan Document requires any party to reimburse or indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any cost or expense, such party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, reasonably determines that it, or any company of its group, is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.
(iv) Any reference in Sections 3.01(i)(i), 3.01(i)(ii) and 3.01(i)(iii) to any party shall, at any time when such party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994) or otherwise to a Person treated as making or (as appropriate) receiving the supply under the grouping rules provided for in Article 11 of the council directive 2006/112/EEC on the common system of value added tax.
(v) In relation to any supply made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any party under any Loan Document, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, such party must promptly provide the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, with details of such party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with the VAT reporting requirements of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in relation to such supply.
SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans in US Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
45
restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Ultimate Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or convert to Base Rate Loans all such Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
SECTION 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing of any Class:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Three Year Lenders or the Required Five Year Lenders, as applicable, that the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Eurodollar Rate Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Lenders of such Class as promptly as practicable and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Lenders of such Class that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing of such Class to, or continuation of any Borrowing of such Class as, a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Borrowing shall be continued as a Base Rate Borrowing, and (ii) the Borrower can revoke any pending Loan Notice for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing upon receipt of such notice and otherwise any Loan Notice for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing of such Class shall be treated as a request for a Base Rate Borrowing.
46
SECTION 3.04 Increased Costs; Additional Reserve Requirements.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law will:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate or referred to in Section 3.04(e));
(ii) subject the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Tax on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, the Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital or Liquidity Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.04(a) or 3.04(b) and delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 will not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three (3) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the
47
Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. Without duplication of any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, that the Borrower and Ultimate Parent shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender with a reasonably detailed explanation of the regulatory requirements imposing such costs and a calculation of the allocation of such costs to the relevant Loan or Commitment. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of a proper notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any reserves described in this Section 3.04(e) are based upon the financial strength or creditworthiness of a Lender, for the purposes of calculating the actual costs of a Lender with respect to such reserves, each such Lender shall be deemed to be in the highest applicable category of financial strength or creditworthiness.
(f) Certain Agreements. With respect to amounts due under this Section 3.04 as a result of any Change in Law, the claim for additional amounts shall be generally consistent with such Lender’s treatment of customers of such Lender that such Lender considers, in its reasonable discretion, to be similarly situated to the Borrower and having generally similar provisions in their credit agreements with such Lender.
SECTION 3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower will promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower (whether or not any such notice may be revoked in accordance herewith); or
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the
48
Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
SECTION 3.06 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 (other than additional amounts arising from VAT), or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (b) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 3.07 Survival. All of the Loan Parties’ and Ultimate Parent’s obligations under this Article III will survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

To the best knowledge of Ultimate Parent, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person, except where such infringement would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of Ultimate Parent, threatened, which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The choice of law provisions set forth in Section 11.14 are legal, valid and binding under the Laws of Ireland, Bermuda, Luxembourg and each other jurisdiction in which any Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary is organized, and Ultimate Parent knows of no reason why the courts of Ireland, Bermuda, Luxembourg or any such other jurisdiction will not give effect to the choice of law of the State of New York as the proper law, other than through the exercise by any such court of discretionary powers under general principles of equity or public policy limitations in each case not specifically relating to such provisions. Ultimate Parent has the legal capacity to xxx and be sued in its own name under the Laws of Ireland, Intermediate Parent has the legal capacity to xxx and be sued in its own name under the Laws of Bermuda, each of the Borrower and Actavis SCS

(a) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties; and
(b) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

70
SECTION 8.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations will be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

ARTICLE IX
GUARANTEE
SECTION 9.01 Guarantee of Obligations. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and each other Guarantor, when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in this Section 9.01, without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other future increases in the Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all Obligations (including interest, fees, costs and expenses) that would be owed by any other obligor on the Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to
71
the existence of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law involving such other obligor because it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Guaranteed Parties that the Obligations that are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any applicable Law or order that may relieve the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any portion of any Obligations.
SECTION 9.02 Limitation on Obligations Guaranteed. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Article IX shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article IX void or voidable under applicable Law, including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Obligations Guarantee set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the Obligations Guarantee set forth in this Article IX at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Obligations Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the Obligations Guarantee set forth in this Article IX and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other Guarantee by such Guarantor.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 9.02(a) without impairing the Obligations Guarantee contained in this Article IX or affecting the rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the obligations under this Article IX of any Guarantor incorporated in Ireland shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (but for this Section 9.02(c)):
(i) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 60 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland; or
(ii) constitute a breach of Section 31 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such indemnities, guarantees, obligations, liabilities or undertakings have been validated under Section 60 (2) to (11) of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland, they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under the said Section 60.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, the aggregate payment obligations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, securities in rem) under this Obligations Guarantee of Actavis SCS (when taken together with the aggregate payment obligations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, securities in rem) of Actavis SCS under a Guarantee of any other Indebtedness) shall be limited to (such limitation to be applied to this Obligations Guarantee and to all such other Guarantees on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness Guaranteed by Actavis SCS hereunder and under its Guarantee of any other such Indebtedness), and shall not exceed, an amount corresponding to 95% of the sum of (i) its own funds (capitaux propres) plus (ii) subordinated debts (as referred to in article 34 of the law of December 19, 2002 on the register of commerce and companies and accounting and the annual accounts of undertakings, as amended) (A) as shown in its most recent financial statements available on the date on which the initial demand is made in respect of obligations of Actavis SCS under this Obligations Guarantee or (B) as shown in its most recent financial statements available on the Effective Date,
72
whichever is higher; provided that the limitation contained in this Section 9.02(d) shall not apply to any amounts borrowed by, or made available to, in any form whatsoever, under the Loan Documents (or any document entered into in connection therewith) to Actavis SCS or any of its (current or future) direct or indirect Subsidiaries. Where, for the purpose of the above determination under this Section 9.02(d) in respect of Actavis SCS, no duly established annual financial statements are available for the relevant reference period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a situation where, in respect of the determination to be made above under this Section 9.02(d), no final financial statements have been established in due time in respect of the then most recently ended financial year), Actavis SCS shall promptly establish unaudited interim financial statements (as of the end of the then most recently ended financial quarter) or annual financial statements (as applicable) duly established in accordance with applicable accounting rules, pursuant to which the relevant own funds and subordinated debts will be determined. If Actavis SCS fails to provide such unaudited interim financial statements or annual financial statements (as applicable) within twenty-one (21) Business Days as from the date of request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint (at the Loan Parties’ expense) an independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé), or an independent reputable investment bank, that shall undertake the determination of the relevant own funds and subordinated debts. In order to prepare such determination, the independent auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or the independent reputable investment bank shall take into consideration such available elements and facts at such time, including the latest annual financial statements of Actavis SCS and its Subsidiaries, any recent valuation of the assets of Actavis SCS and its Subsidiaries (if available), the market value of the assets of Actavis SCS and its Subsidiaries as if sold between a willing buyer and a willing seller as a going concern using a standard market multi criteria approach combining market multiples, book value, discounted cash flow or comparable public transaction of which price is known (taking into account circumstances at the time of the valuation and making all necessary adjustments to the assumption being used) and acting in a reasonable manner.
SECTION 9.03 Nature of Guarantee; Continuing Guarantee; Waivers of Defenses.
(a) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Obligations Guarantee contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not merely of collectability. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Obligations Guarantee and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, set-off, defense, counterclaim, discharge or termination for any reason (other than a Discharge of the Obligations and as set forth in Sections 9.02(c) and 9.02(d)).
(b) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder is independent of the Obligations Guarantee of each other Guarantor and of any other guarantee of the Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any other guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower and any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not
73
impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(c) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower and any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment remain liable for the Obligations until the Discharge of the Obligations.
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under and in respect of the Obligations Guarantee contained in this Article IX shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):
(i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Guaranteed Party;
(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents;
(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Obligations;
(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any corresponding restructuring of the Obligations;
(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Obligations or any subordination of the Obligations to any other obligations; and
(vi) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Guarantor for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Article IX.
(e) In addition, each Guarantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person against any Guaranteed
74
Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.
SECTION 9.04 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Obligations by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Obligations from any Guarantor:
(a) If such payment is made by a Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of another Guarantor, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to exercise such rights until a Discharge of the Obligations), (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Guarantor, and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Guarantors (other than the Guarantor whose primary obligations were so guaranteed by the other Guarantors) based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.
(b) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Guarantor against any other Guarantor whether under Section 9.04(a) or otherwise, such Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Obligations (and each Guarantor hereby waives its right to subrogation until a Discharge of the Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.04) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Obligations. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Obligations and solely against the Guarantors, and not against the Guaranteed Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Guaranteed Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Guarantors or of the Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Obligations that may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Administrative Agent.
(c) The obligations of the Guarantors under this Obligations Guarantee and the other Loan Documents, including their liability for the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 9.04 or otherwise. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. The Guaranteed Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.
75
SECTION 9.05 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Guaranteed Parties to which such payment is owed, to such account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds.
SECTION 9.06 Subordination of Other Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of Intermediate Parent owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Guaranteed Parties or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Obligations Guarantee, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or Indebtedness of Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Obligations Guarantee.
SECTION 9.07 Financial Condition of Borrower and other Guarantors. Any extension of credit may be made to the Borrower or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrower and each other Guarantor on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Guarantor and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each other Loan Party and each other Guarantor and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor now known or hereafter known by any Guaranteed Party.
SECTION 9.08 Bankruptcy, Etc. Until a Discharge of the Obligations, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, voluntary or involuntary, involving the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any interest, fees, costs, expenses or other Obligations accruing or arising after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

76
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, examinership or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or if any Guaranteed Party repays, restores, or returns, in whole or in part, any payment or property previously paid or transferred to the Guaranteed Party in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation, because the payment or transfer or the incurrence of the obligation is so satisfied, is declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any state or federal law (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such Guaranteed Party elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with an assertion that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, and, subject to Section 11.04, as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorney’s fees of the Guaranteed Party related thereto, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist as though the Voidable Transfer had never been made.
ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 10.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMCB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X (other than Sections 10.06 and 10.10) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither Ultimate Parent nor any Loan Party will have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
SECTION 10.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties);
(b) will not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
77
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and
(c) will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent will believe in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) unless, and only to the extent that, a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined, by a final and nonappealable judgment, that such action or inaction constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice (stating that it is a “notice of default”) describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or a Lender.
The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction (or waiver) of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof), and will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition under Article IV that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the Effective Date or the Closing Date, as applicable. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Ultimate Parent or any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
78
SECTION 10.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article X will apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, at any time, give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders will have the right, in consultation with Ultimate Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which will be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent notifies Ultimate Parent and the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.06. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 10.06). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.04 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Arrangers and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it will from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 10.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents or the Co-Documentation Agents will have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as
79
applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder, but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
SECTION 10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition, examinership or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party is pending, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent will have made any demand on such Loan Party) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, examiner or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04.
Nothing contained herein will be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
SECTION 10.10 Guarantee Matters. (a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Obligations Guarantee if such Subsidiary Guarantor (i) after the Closing Date, ceases to be a Subsidiary of Ultimate Parent as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, (ii) originally became a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 6.12 and is no longer required pursuant to the terms of such Section to be a Subsidiary Guarantor (after giving effect to any other releases of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantees of other Indebtedness to occur substantially simultaneously with the release of its obligations under the Obligations Guarantee) or (iii) was voluntarily designated by Ultimate Parent as a Subsidiary Guarantor and Ultimate Parent requests, in writing, that the Administrative Agent release it from the Obligations Guarantee and no Event of Default would immediately result from such a release. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Obligations Guarantee pursuant to this Section 10.10.
80
(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to determine, in connection with any Foreign Subsidiary becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor on or after the Effective Date, the terms and conditions of any limitations to be set forth in the Subsidiary Guarantor Counterpart to be executed by such Foreign Subsidiary if the Administrative Agent determines (or is advised by counsel) that such limitations are required by applicable Law or are otherwise customary and appropriate for Guarantees provided by Persons organized in the jurisdiction of organization of such Foreign Subsidiary.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 11.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by Ultimate Parent or the Loan Parties therefrom, will be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower (and, if the rights of any other Loan Party shall be affected thereby, such Loan Party), and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent (such acknowledgement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and each such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Ultimate Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, (x) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or (y) the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided further that no such amendment, waiver or consent will:
(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(g) change any provision of this Section 11.01 or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Three Year Lenders” or “Required Five Year Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class); or
(h) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders holding Three Year Loans or Three Year Commitments, or Lenders holding Five Year Loans or Five Year Commitments, as the case may be, differently than those holding Loans or Commitments of the other Class without the written consent of the Required Three Year Lenders or the Required Five Year Lenders, as applicable;
and; provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent will, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) any amendment, waiver or consent that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document of the Lenders of one Class (but not the Lenders of the other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Ultimate Parent, the Borrower (and, if applicable as set forth above, the other Loan Parties) and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 11.01 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, subject to acknowledgment by the Administrative Agent as provided above.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event will the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Ultimate Parent’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials through the Platform, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence
83
or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event will any Agent Party have any liability to Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

Each other Lender may change its address, fax number, telephone number or electronic mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent.

Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Company Materials, if any, that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI.
(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Related Parties from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on any notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
SECTION 11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided hereunder or under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by Ultimate Parent or any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 11.01, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the delivery of any Pre-Advanced Funds by any Lender to the Administrative Agent, or the release of any Pre-Advanced Funds by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, or the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
84

(a) Costs and Expenses.

85
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Parties or (y) result from a claim brought by Ultimate Parent or a Loan Party against such Indemnitee for a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, but only if Ultimate Parent or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (B) a claim of any Indemnitee solely against one or more Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving a claim against the Administrative Agent, any Co-Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Arranger) not arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of Ultimate Parent or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Related Parties. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions to the contrary, this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from a non-Tax claim.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Ultimate Parent or the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.04(a) or 11.04(b) to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (based on the Applicable Aggregate Percentage of such Lender determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.04(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the parties to this Agreement shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that in no event will any Indemnitee have any liability for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). Nothing in this Section 11.04(d) shall abrogate, modify or diminish the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to keep certain information confidential in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.07.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 will be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

86
SECTION 11.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except in connection with any merger or consolidation permitted by Section 7.03) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.06(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.06(e), the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Indemnitees and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may, at any time, assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in Section 11.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
87
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, Ultimate Parent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment so assigned; provided that this clause (ii) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.06(b)(i)(B) and in addition:
(A) the consent of Ultimate Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) in the case of any assignment after the Closing Date, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, in each case that is not a Non-Qualifying Lender; provided that in the case of any assignment after the Closing Date, Ultimate Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (x) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to ascertain whether any Lender is a Non-Qualifying Lender or with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any written consent of Ultimate Parent to any assignment to a Non-Qualifying Lender, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee, and (y) the Administrative Agent may rely upon, and shall incur no liability therefor, any determination by Ultimate Parent, any Lender or any prospective Lender as to whether any Person is a Non-Qualifying Lender (and, in connection with any proposed assignment, may require confirmation by Ultimate Parent as to Ultimate Parent’s determination whether the proposed assignee is a Non-Qualifying Lender prior to accepting any such assignment for recordation in the Register).
88
The Borrower consents to the assignments and transfers of rights and obligations permitted under and made in accordance with this Section 11.06(b). The Borrower and Actavis SCS agree and confirm that each of their guarantee and/or indemnity obligations (as applicable) under the Loan Documents granted by each of them in support of their respective borrowing obligations, guarantee and/or indemnity obligations (as applicable) under the Loan Documents will continue notwithstanding any assignment or transfer under this Section 11.06(b) and will extend to cover and support obligations transferred or assigned and owed to new Lenders that have been assigned to pursuant to this Section 11.06(b) and the Lenders hereby expressly accept and confirm for the purposes of article 1278 and 1281 of the Luxembourg civil code that notwithstanding any assignment, transfer and/or novation under this Section 11.06(b) any guarantee shall be preserved for the benefit of any new Lender.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person that, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.06(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.06(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.06(e).
(c) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, with the consent of Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
89
hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.06(c), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(d) Register. (i) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties (and such agency being solely for Tax purposes), shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties and, solely with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, any Lender, such Lender, in each case at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(ii) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by this Section 11.06 or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 11.06(d)(ii). Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is not a Person made ineligible under Section 11.06(b)(v).
(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
90
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 11.06(f), Ultimate Parent, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.06(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 as if it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.
(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Ultimate Parent’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Ultimate Parent and the Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Sections 3.01(e) and 3.01(g) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 11.06 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment to secure obligations; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
91
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.07, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Ultimate Parent, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.07 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Ultimate Parent or the Loan Parties or (i) in the case of any Person that is, or any Affiliate of which is, a party to the Actavis Revolving Credit Agreement, the Existing Actavis Term Loan Credit Agreement, the WC Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other syndicated credit agreement of Ultimate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, as expressly permitted by the terms of such credit agreement. It is agreed that, notwithstanding the restrictions of any prior confidentiality agreement with Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary binding on the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Co-Documentation Agent or any Co-Syndication Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, such Persons (and their respective Affiliates) may disclose Information as provided in this Section 11.07.
For purposes of this Section 11.07, “Information” means all information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary relating to Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.07 will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include MNPI, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and (c) it will handle all MNPI in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state and applicable foreign securities Laws.
Subject to any applicable requirements of United State federal, state or local or applicable foreign Laws or regulations, including securities Laws or regulations, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender will make or cause to be made, whether orally, in writing or otherwise, any public announcement or statement that is intended for the general public and not targeted primarily to reach audiences in the banking industry and the banking industry’s customers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of Ultimate Parent as to the form, content and timing of such announcement or disclosure, which approval may be given or withheld in Ultimate Parent’s sole discretion.
SECTION 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from
92
time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of its obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender will have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.08, if at any time any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.
SECTION 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents will not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender will receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest will be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under the Commitment Letter and any commitment advice submitted by them (but do not supersede any other provisions of the Commitment Letter or the Fee Letters that do not by the terms of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect). This Agreement will become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif”) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.
SECTION 11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith will survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent
93
or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may have had notice or knowledge of any Default on the Closing Date, and will continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder will remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
SECTION 11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
SECTION 11.13 Replacement of Lenders. In the event (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (b) the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 (other than additional amounts arising from VAT), (c) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (d) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by Ultimate Parent or a Loan Party that requires the consent of all the Lenders (or all the affected Lenders or all the Lenders of the affected Class) and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders (or, in circumstances where Section 11.01 does not require the consent of the Required Lenders, the Required Three Year Lenders or the Required Five Year Lenders, as applicable), then Ultimate Parent or the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or, in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a failure to provide a consent, all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender of a particular Class) to an assignee that will assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that:
(i) the Borrower will have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);
(ii) such Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) (if applicable, in each case only to the extent such amounts relate to its interest as a Lender of a particular Class) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to
94
Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender will not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Loan Party to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this Section 11.13 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.
SECTION 11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (I) THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DEFINITION OF COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT (AS DEFINED IN THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT) AND WHETHER OR NOT A COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT HAS OCCURRED, (II) THE DETERMINATION OF THE ACCURACY OF ANY MERGER AGREEMENT REPRESENTATIONS AND WHETHER AS A RESULT OF ANY INACCURACY THEREOF ULTIMATE PARENT OR ULTIMATE PARENT’S AFFILIATES HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE ULTIMATE PARENT’S OR SUCH AFFILIATES’ OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT, OR TO DECLINE TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT) PURSUANT TO THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT, AND (III) THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE TRANSACTIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT) HAVE BEEN CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE ALLERGAN MERGER AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED SOLELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.

SECTION 11.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of such Persons and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Persons in accordance with the Patriot Act. Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act.
SECTION 11.17 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into
96
another currency, the rate of exchange used will be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of Ultimate Parent or any Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents will, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from Ultimate Parent or any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, Ultimate Parent or such Loan Party, as applicable, agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to Ultimate Parent or such Loan Party, as applicable (or to any other Person that may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
SECTION 11.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document and any communications in connection therewith), Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (ii) Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate and (iii) Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Ultimate Parent, the Loan Parties or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any Arranger has any obligation to Ultimate Parent or the Loan Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Ultimate Parent or the Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Ultimate Parent and the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
SECTION 11.19 Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
97
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
SECTION 11.20 Appointment of Agent for Service of Process; Waiver of Immunity. (a) Each of Ultimate Parent, Intermediate Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers, for the benefit of the parties hereto (other than Ultimate Parent, Intermediate Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) and the Indemnitees, Actavis as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on behalf of it, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any suit, action or proceeding brought in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans made to the Borrower hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

The Guarantors have provided the Obligations Guarantee in order to induce the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrower. The Credit Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of Ultimate Parent may become Subsidiary Guarantors under the Obligations Guarantee by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Agreement.

Section 3. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective as to the New Subsidiary Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the New Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the New Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including “pdf” or “tif”) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 4. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
Section 5. Notices. Any notice or other communication to the New Subsidiary Guarantor required or permitted to be given shall be given pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement, and for all purposes thereof, the notice address, fax number, telephone number or electronic mail address of the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall be as set forth on the signature page hereof, subject to any change thereto in accordance with Section 11.02(d) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 6. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY GUARANTEED PARTY OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND THE NEW SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

(c) Waiver of Venue. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 7(B). THE NEW SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d) Service of Process. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 5 HEREOF. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY GUARANTEED PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

The undersigned, [—], the [—]1 of Actavis plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Ultimate Parent”), is familiar with the properties, businesses, assets and liabilities of Ultimate Parent and is duly authorized to execute this certificate (this “Solvency Certificate”) on behalf of Ultimate Parent.
This Solvency Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(ii) of the Actavis Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 17, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Ultimate Parent, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Limited, a Bermuda exempted company, Actavis Capital S.à x.x., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Borrower”), Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Actavis Funding SCS, a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Solvency Certificate have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement. As used herein, “Company” means Ultimate Parent and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
1. I, [—], hereby certify that I am the [—] of Ultimate Parent and that I am knowledgeable of the financial and accounting matters of the Company, the Credit Agreement and the covenants and representations (financial or otherwise) contained therein and that, as such, I am authorized to execute and deliver this Solvency Certificate on behalf of Ultimate Parent.
2. I hereby certify, on behalf of Ultimate Parent and not in my individual capacity, that I have made such investigation and inquiries as to the financial condition of the Company as I deem necessary and prudent for the purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate. I acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Solvency Certificate in connection with the making of Loans under the Credit Agreement.
3. I hereby certify, on behalf of Ultimate Parent and not in my individual capacity, that (a) the financial information, projections and assumptions which underlie and form the basis for the representations made in this Solvency Certificate were made in good faith and were based on assumptions reasonably believed by Ultimate Parent to be fair in light of the circumstances existing at the time made; and (b) for purposes of providing this Solvency Certificate, the amount of contingent liabilities has been computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
BASED ON THE FOREGOING, I hereby certify, on behalf of Ultimate Parent and not in my individual capacity, that, on the date hereof, before and after giving effect to the Transactions (and the Loans made or to be made and other obligations incurred or to be incurred on the Closing Date):
(i) the fair value of the property of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Company’s subsidiaries) is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Company;
1 | To be executed by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or treasurer of Ultimate Parent. |
H-1
(ii) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, property consisting of the residual equity value of the Company’s subsidiaries) is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company on the sum of its debts and other liabilities, including contingent liabilities;
(iii) the Company has not, does not intend to, and does not believe (nor should it reasonably believe) that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond the Company’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise);
(iv) the Company does not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged as such businesses are now conducted (and reflected in the Projections (as defined in the Commitment Letter)) and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date;
(v) the Company is able to pay its debts and liabilities, contingent obligations and other commitments as they mature in the ordinary course of business; and
(vi) the Company is “solvent” within the meaning given to that term and similar terms under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States and applicable Laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate as of the first date written above, solely in [his][her] capacity as [—] of Ultimate Parent and not in [his][her] individual capacity.
