SECURITY GUARANTEES

Section 1601. Security Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 16, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior basis, to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Securities, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment by the Company when due of any amount so


guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Security Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture, or pursuant to Section 1606.

(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Security Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 502 for the purposes of this Security Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 502 such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Security Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Security Guarantees.

(e) Each Security Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Securities or the Security Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(f) In case any provision of any Security Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(g) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Security Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.


Section 1602. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

(a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Security Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar U.S. federal or state law or law of such Guarantor’s jurisdiction of organization (which shall be Irish law, in the case of Actavis plc, and Bermuda law, in the case of Warner Chilcott Limited) to the extent applicable to any Security Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 16, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Security Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Security Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Security Guarantee obligations under this Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1601, the obligations under Section 1601 of Actavis plc and any other Guarantor incorporated in Ireland shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (but for this Section 1602(b)) (1) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland or (2) constitute a breach of Section 31 of the Companies Act 1990 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 Act 1963 of Ireland, they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under Section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland.

Section 1603. Execution and Delivery.

(a) To evidence its Security Guarantee set forth herein each Guarantor shall execute a supplemental indenture.

(b) Each Guarantor that provides a Security Guarantee agrees that its Security Guarantee set forth in Section 1601 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Security Guarantee on the Securities.

(c) If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security Guarantees shall be valid nevertheless.

(d) The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Security Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 1604. Subrogation.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of


Section 1601; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities shall have been paid in full.

Section 1605. Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Security Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 1606. Release of Security Guarantees.

(a) A Security Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Security Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Company or the Trustee shall be required for the release of such Guarantor’s Security Guarantee:

(1) (A) upon the merger or consolidation of such Guarantor with and into either the Company or any other Guarantor that is the surviving person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following or concurrently with the transfer of all or substantially all of its assets to either the Company or another Guarantor (and, if applicable, any minority stockholders of such Guarantor on a pro rata basis according to their ownership interests in such Guarantor); or

    (B) upon the Company exercising its legal defeasance or covenant defeasance options in accordance with Section 402 or the Company’s obligations under this Indenture being discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities; and

(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(b) At the written request and expense of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, the Trustee shall execute and deliver such documents prepared by the Company or such Guarantor and reasonably required in order to acknowledge such release, discharge and termination in respect of the applicable Security Guarantee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor shall be required to make a notation on the Securities to reflect any Security Guarantee or any such release, termination or discharge.”

SECTION 3. Security Guarantee. Each of Actavis plc and Warner Chilcott Limited, severally and not jointly with each other, hereby agrees to be a Guarantor under the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, and to be bound by the terms of the Indenture and the Securities, including the Notes, applicable to Guarantors, including, but not limited to, Article 16 of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, and each Guarantor further agrees that this Second Supplemental Indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
