WHEREAS, (a) substantially concurrently herewith (i) the Term Loan Borrowers are entering into a forbearance agreement with the applicable agents and the applicable required lenders in respect of the Term Loan Notes Payments Defaults, (ii) the 1L Issuers and the applicable trustee are entering into a forbearance agreement in respect of the 1L Indenture Interest Payment Default and (iii) the 2L Issuers and the applicable trustee are entering into a forbearance agreement in respect of the 2L Indenture Interest Payment Default (the foregoing, collectively, the “Concurrent Forbearance Agreements”), and (b) MNK, the Opioid Master Disbursement Trust II (the “Trust”) and certain subsidiaries of MNK (the “Opioid Parties”) have entered into one or more amendments to that certain Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2022, among the Opioid Parties (as amended, the “Opioid Deferred Cash Payments Agreement”), which have extended to July 21, 2023, the date on which a $200 million payment is required to be made to the Trust (the “Opioid Payment Extension”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defaults. Each of the Specified Defaults, if it has occurred or were to occur, does or would constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (upon the expiration of any and all applicable cure periods and giving of any and all required notices).

SECTION 2. Amounts Owing. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, the Borrower is indebted to the Secured Parties in an aggregate amount equal to (a) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to $100,000,000, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus (b) any other Obligations (including without limitation, indemnities, fees, costs and expenses, but excluding the principal amount of the Loans and interest thereon) payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3. Limited Forbearance.

(a) Each Lender party hereto hereby agrees to forbear, and xxxxxx instructs Agent to forbear, and the Agent agrees to forbear, in each case, from exercising any of the Rights and Remedies with respect to any Specified Default during the Forbearance Period (the “Limited Forbearance”). For the avoidance of doubt, during the Forbearance Period, each Lender party hereto agrees that it (individually or collectively) will not deliver any notice, instruction or request to the Agent, directing the Agent to exercise any of the Rights and Remedies against the Borrower with respect to any Specified Default and to take all actions necessary or reasonably desirable to prevent the Agent from exercising any of the Rights and Remedies with respect to any Specified Default.

(b) The Limited Forbearance is limited in nature and is not intended, and shall not be deemed or construed (i) to constitute a waiver of any Specified Defaults or any other existing or future Defaults or Events of Default or compliance with any term or provision of the Loan Documents or applicable law or (ii) to establish a custom or course of dealing between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent and/or any Lender, on the other hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the agreement of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to forbear from exercising their default-related remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults shall not constitute a waiver of any Specified Default and that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve all rights and remedies that the Agents and the Lenders have under any or all of the Loan Documents and applicable law in connection with all Defaults or Events of Default.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or expiration of the Forbearance Period: (i) the Limited Forbearance and all agreements set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement shall terminate automatically and be of no further force or effect, and (ii) subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable law, the Agent and each Lender shall be free to proceed to enforce any or all of its rights and remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the agreement of the Lenders and the Agent temporarily to forbear shall not apply to nor preclude any remedy available to the Agent or the Lenders in connection with any proceeding commenced voluntarily by the Company or its subsidiaries under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, including, without limitation, to any relief in respect of adequate protection or relief from any stay imposed under such law.

(d) The parties hereto agree that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that the Agent or any Lender may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against the Borrower in respect of the Specified Defaults are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period.

(e) Execution of this Agreement constitutes a direction by the Lenders party hereto that the Agent act or forbear from acting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the termination or expiration of the Forbearance Period.

(f) The Borrower understands and accepts the temporary nature of the Limited Forbearance provided hereby and that none of the Lenders party hereto and the Agent have given any assurances that they will extend such Limited Forbearance or provide waivers or amendments to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document other than those expressly provided for herein.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a legal obligation to participate in any restructuring or amendment of the Credit Agreement or to execute any related documents and no such legal obligation shall arise except pursuant to mutually agreeable executed definitive documentation.

SECTION 4. Other Agreements.

Each Releasor, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates, further agrees to refrain, and to cause its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates to refrain, from commencing, instituting or prosecuting, or supporting any Person that commences, institutes, or prosecutes any lawsuit, action or other proceeding against any and all Released Parties with respect to any and all Released Claims. If any Releasor or any Releasor’s subsidiaries or controlled affiliates or any of their respective successors, assigns or other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, both the Person violating such covenant and the applicable Releasor, each for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby agree to pay, jointly and severally, in addition to such other damages as the Released Parties may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorney’s fees and costs incurred by any Released Party as a result of such violation.
