The aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Indenture is limited to $500,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of the 2012 Notes is limited to $1,000,000,000, except, in each case, for Add On Notes of the applicable series issued in accordance with Section 2.8 and Notes of either series authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes of the same series pursuant to Section 2.5. The Notes of each series shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000.

(b) The 2011 Notes shall mature on December 19, 2011 and the 2012 Notes shall mature on June 15, 2012.

 

12


(c) Interest on the Notes of each series shall accrue from June 18, 2010 at the Interest Rate applicable to such series until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, quarterly in the case of the 2011 Notes and semiannually in the case of the 2012 Notes as further provided herein.

(d) Interest on the 2011 Notes shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. Interest on the 2012 Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(e) The 2011 Notes shall bear interest for each Interest Period at a per annum rate determined by the Calculation Agent, subject to the maximum interest rate permitted by New York or other applicable state law, as such law may be modified by United States law of general application. The Interest Rate applicable to the 2011 Notes during each Interest Period shall be equal to LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Period plus 0.400%. Promptly upon such determination, the Calculation Agent shall notify the Issuer and the Trustee, if the Trustee is not then serving as the Calculation Agent, of the Interest Rate for the new Interest Period. The Interest Rate determined by the Calculation Agent, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive upon the beneficial owners and holders of the 2011 Notes, the Issuer and the Trustee. Upon the request of a Holder of the 2011 Notes, the Calculation Agent shall provide to such holder the Interest Rate in effect on the date of such request and, if determined, the Interest Rate for the next Interest Period. All percentages resulting from any calculation of the Interest Rate on the 2011 Notes shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards, and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(f) A Holder of any Note at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, provided that interest payable in respect of any 2011 Notes at the Stated Maturity for principal thereof or any Redemption Date will be paid to the person to whom principal is payable.

(g) Principal of and interest on Global Notes shall be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

(h) Principal on Physical Notes shall be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Interest on Physical Notes will be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New York mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of the Notes, or (ii) upon application to the Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Notes in excess of $5,000,000, wire transfer in immediately available funds, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.

(i) The Notes of each series shall be redeemable at the option of the Issuer as provided in Article 4.

 

13

The Notes of each series shall be issued initially in the form of permanent global Notes in fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the forms of Exhibits A and B hereto, respectively (with respect to the 2011 Notes, the “2011 Global Note” and, with respect to the 2012 Notes, the “2012 Global Note,” and the 2011 Global Notes and 2012 Global Notes, collectively, the “Global Notes”), each with the applicable legends as provided in Section 2.3. Each Global Note shall be duly executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, shall have endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantor and shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and retained by the Trustee, as custodian, at its Corporate Trust Office, for credit to the accounts of the Agent Members holding the Notes evidenced thereby.

Section 2.4 Form of Guarantee.

A Guarantee substantially in the following form shall be endorsed on the reverse of each Note:

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (the “Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holder of this Note the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any), on this Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at Maturity or upon redemption or upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of this Note and of the Indenture. The Guarantor agrees that in the case of default by the Issuer in the payment of any such principal or interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any), the Guarantor shall duly and punctually pay the same. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any extension of the time for payment of this Note, any modification of this Note, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of this Note or the Indenture, any failure to enforce the same or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holder of this Note or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a demand or proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to this Note except by payment in full of the principal of and interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on this Note.

The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantees or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights to which it may be entitled, by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment hereunder (i) to be subrogated to the rights of a Holder against the Issuer with respect to such payment or otherwise to be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by the Issuer in respect thereof or (ii) to receive any payment in the nature of contribution or for any other reason, from any other obligor with respect to such payment, in each case, until the principal of and interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on this Note shall have been paid in full.

The Guarantee shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to this Note until the certificate of authentication on this Note shall have been signed by the Trustee.

 

15


The Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited has caused the Guarantee to be signed manually or by facsimile by its duly authorized officers.

Section 2.5 Book-Entry Provisions for the Global Notes.

(a) The Global Notes initially shall:

(1) be registered in the name of the Depositary (or a nominee thereof); and

(2) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and the Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. With respect to any Global Note deposited on behalf of the subscribers for the Notes represented thereby with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary for credit to their respective accounts (or to such other accounts as they may direct) at Euroclear or Clearstream, the provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and the “Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear” and the “Management Regulations” and “Instructions to Participants” of Clearstream, respectively, shall be applicable to the Global Notes.

(b) The Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including DTC Participants and Persons that may hold interests through DTC Participants, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Notes of either series.

 

16


(c) A Global Note may not be transferred, in whole or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary (or a nominee thereof), and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered. Beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.

(d) If at any time:

(1) the Depositary notifies the Issuer in writing that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes of either series, or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary for the Global Notes of such series is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or cessation;

(2) the Issuer, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Notes under this Supplemental Indenture in exchange for all or any part of the Notes represented by a Global Note or Global Notes; or

(3) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depositary for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes;

the Depositary shall surrender such Global Note or Global Notes to the Trustee for cancellation and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such Global Note or Global Notes, Physical Notes of the applicable series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Note or Global Notes. Such Physical Notes shall be registered in such names as the Depositary shall identify in writing as the beneficial owners of the Notes represented by such Global Note or Global Notes (or any nominee thereof).

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any transfer of beneficial interests in a Global Note to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to Section 2.5(d), the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Note in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interests in such Global Note to be transferred.

Section 2.6 Defaulted Interest.

If the Issuer fails to make a payment of interest on any Note when due and payable (“Defaulted Interest”), it shall pay such Defaulted Interest plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the Defaulted Interest, in any lawful manner. It may elect to pay such Defaulted Interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of such Notes on which the interest is due on a subsequent Special Record Date. The Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such Note. The Issuer shall fix any such Special Record Date and payment date for such payment. At least

 

17


15 days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to Holders affected thereby a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Interest Payment Date and amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.7 Execution of Guarantees.

The Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note. If the Issuer shall execute Physical Notes in accordance with Section 2.5, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantees in substantially the form above recited to be endorsed on each such Note. Such Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by an Officer of the Guarantor. The signature of any of these officers on the Guarantee may be manual or facsimile.

In case any Officer of the Guarantor who shall have signed the Guarantee endorsed on a Note shall cease to be such officer before the Note so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Guarantor; and any Guarantee endorsed on a Note may be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Guarantee, shall be the proper officers of the Guarantor, although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

Section 2.8 Add On Notes.

The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture Add On Notes having terms identical to those of the Outstanding Notes of either series, except that Add On Notes:

 

  (a) may have a different issue date from other Outstanding Notes of such series;

 

  (b) may have a different amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date after issuance than is payable on other Outstanding Notes of such series; and

 

  (c) may have terms specified in Add On Note Board Resolutions or the Add On Note supplemental indenture for such Add On Notes making appropriate adjustments to this Article 2 and Exhibit A or B (and related definitions), as the case may be, applicable to such Add On Notes in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any registration rights or similar agreement applicable to such Add On Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Add On Notes) and which shall not affect the rights, benefits, immunities or duties of the Trustee.

 

18


In authenticating any Add On Notes, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Notes, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(a) the Add On Note Board Resolutions or Add On Note supplemental indenture relating thereto;

(b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 6.5; and

(c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 6.5 stating,

(1) that the forms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

(2) that the terms of such Notes have been established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or by an Add On Note supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

(3) that such Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer entitled to the benefits provided in this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Notes;

(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Notes have been complied with; and

(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Note Board Resolutions or an Add On Note supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Notes:

(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;

 

19


(2) if the Trustee determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Notes; or

(3) if the issue of such Add On Notes pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Notes, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Notes if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

In addition to the covenants set forth in Article 3 of the Base Indenture, the Notes shall be subject to the additional covenants set forth in this Article 3.

Section 3.1 Restrictions on Certain Indebtedness and Payments.

The Issuer shall not pay dividends, make distributions, incur Indebtedness (other than the Notes and any Add On Notes) or repurchase its or the Guarantor’s securities other than the Notes.

Section 3.2 Payment of Additional Tax Amounts.

All payments of interest and principal by the Issuer under the Notes of either series and by the Guarantor under the Guarantees shall be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (but, except as provided in this Supplemental Indenture, other than any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal property taxes imposed with respect to the Notes of either series or the Guarantees) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Relevant Jurisdiction or any political sub-division thereof or by any authority therein having power to tax unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as applicable, will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by a Holder after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amount of interest and principal which would have been receivable in respect of the Notes of such series in the absence of such withholding or deduction (“Additional Tax Amounts”), except that no such Additional Tax Amounts shall be payable:

(a) to or on behalf of a Holder that is:

(1) able to avoid such withholding or deduction by making a declaration of non-residence or other claim for exemption to the relevant tax authority; or

 

20


(2) is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of the Notes of either series by reason of its having some connection with the taxing jurisdiction other than merely by the holding of the Notes of such series; or

(b) to the extent that any such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges would not have been imposed but for the presentation of such Notes or Guarantees, where presentation is required, for payment on a date more than 30 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder thereof would have been entitled to Additional Tax Amounts had the Notes or Guarantees been presented for payment on any date during such 30-day period.

Section 3.3 Stamp Tax.

The Issuer and the Guarantor will pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Notes or any other document or instrument in relation thereto.

Section 3.4 Corporate Existence.

Subject to Article 8 of the Base Indenture, each of the Guarantor and the Issuer will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Issuer and the Guarantor determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer or the Guarantor and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 3.5 Certificates of the Issuer and the Guarantor.

The Issuer and the Guarantor will each furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, as to the signers’ knowledge of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Supplemental Indenture or the Base Indenture). In the event an Officer of the Guarantor or an Officer of the Issuer comes to have actual knowledge of an Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, regardless of the date, the Guarantor or the Issuer shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying such Default and the nature and status thereof.

 

21


Section 3.6 Guarantor To Be the Sole Equityholder of the Issuer.

So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Guarantor or its successor will directly or indirectly own all of the outstanding Capital Stock of the Issuer.

Section 3.7 Limitation on Liens.

The Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, upon any of its property or assets (including any shares of Capital Stock or Indebtedness of any subsidiary), whether owned or leased on the date of this Supplemental Indenture or hereafter acquired, to secure any Indebtedness incurred by the Guarantor or any subsidiary, without in any such case making effective provision whereby all of the Notes outstanding (together with, if the Guarantor so determines, any other Indebtedness by the Guarantor or any such subsidiary ranking equally with the Notes or the Guarantees) shall be secured equally and ratably with, or prior to, such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness shall be so secured unless, after giving effect to such Lien, the aggregate amount of secured Indebtedness then outstanding (excluding Indebtedness secured solely by Permitted Liens) plus the value (as defined in Section 3.8) of all Sale-Leaseback Transactions (other than those described in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of Section 3.8) then outstanding would not exceed 10% of the Guarantor’s Consolidated Net Worth.

Section 3.8 Limitation on Sales and Leasebacks.

The Guarantor will not, and will not permit any subsidiary to, enter into any Sale-Leaseback Transaction after the date of this Supplemental Indenture unless:

 

  (a) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction:

(1) involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than five years;

(2) occurs within 270 days after the date of acquisition, completion of construction or completion of improvement of such property; or

(3) is with the Guarantor or one of its subsidiaries; or

 

  (b) the Guarantor or any subsidiary, within 270 days after the Sale-Leaseback Transaction shall have occurred, applies or causes to be applied an amount equal to the value of the property so sold and leased back at the time of entering into such arrangement to the prepayment, repayment, redemption, reduction or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any subsidiary that is not subordinated to the Notes and that has a Stated Maturity of more than twelve months; or

 

  (c) the Guarantor or such subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 3.7 to create, incur, issue or assume Indebtedness secured by a Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on the property without equally and ratably securing the Notes.

 

22


As used in this Section 3.8, the term “value” shall mean, with respect to a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, as of any particular time an amount equal to the greater of (i) the net proceeds of sale of the property leased pursuant to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, or (ii) the fair value of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback Transaction as determined by the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of full years of remaining term of the lease (without regard to renewal options) and the denominator is the full years of the full term of the lease (without regard to renewal options).

Section 3.9 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 4

REDEMPTION OF NOTES

Section 4.1 Optional Redemption.

The 2011 Notes will not be subject to redemption at the Issuer’s option, except as set forth in Section 4.4. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the 2012 Notes in whole or in part from time to time, on any date prior to maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.2, at the Redemption Price plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

Section 4.2 Notice of Redemption.

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 6.4 to the Holders of Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the intended Redemption Date.

Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price in respect of all the Notes to be redeemed on that Redemption Date and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes.

Section 4.4 Tax Redemption

23


authority thereof or therein affecting taxation or any amendment to or change in an official interpretation or application of such laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or change of such laws, rules or regulations becomes effective on or after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, will be obligated to pay any Additional Tax Amount, with respect either series of Notes, and if such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), after taking measures it considers reasonable to avoid it, then at the option of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, the Notes of such series may be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 20 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Holders of such Notes, at the Redemption Price plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the Redemption Date and any Additional Tax Amounts which would otherwise be payable; provided, however, that (1) no notice of such tax redemption may be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, would but for such redemption be obligated to pay such Additional Tax Amounts were a payment on such Notes then due, and (2) at the time such notice is given, such obligation to pay such Additional Tax Amounts remains in effect.

(b) Before any notice of tax redemption pursuant to Section 4.4(a) is given to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes of the relevant series, the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), as the case may be, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor), is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a’ statement of facts showing that the condition or conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) so to redeem have occurred or been satisfied and (ii) an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Issuer or the Guarantor (or its successor) has or shall become obligated to pay Additional Tax Amounts as a result of a change or amendment described in Section 4.4(a). Such notice, once given to the Trustee, shall be irrevocable.

ARTICLE 5

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

Section 5.1 Satisfaction and Discharge

(a) With respect to the Notes, Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture is not applicable.

Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Holder of Notes to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail to the Trustee at 101 Barclay Street, Floor 4E, New York, NY 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration – Global Finance Unit.

Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the register of the Notes of the applicable series. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Issuer, the Guarantor or Holders of Notes when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Supplemental Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by an officer of officers of the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL FINANCE III, LLC

Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2011

Payment of Principal, Interest and Additional Tax Amounts, if any, Unconditionally

Guaranteed By

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED

This Global Note is in respect of an issue of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2011 (the “Notes”) of Teva Pharmaceutical Finance III, LLC, a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Supplemental Indenture and Indenture hereinafter referred to), and issued pursuant to a


supplemental indenture and a base indenture, each dated as of June 18, 2010 (respectively, the “Supplemental Indenture” and the “Base Indenture” and together, the “Indenture”) among the Issuer, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, a New York banking corporation, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms used herein shall have the meanings specified in the Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture.

The Issuer, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or its registered assigns, the principal amount of [            ] United States Dollars (U.S.$            ) on December 19, 2011, and to pay interest on such principal amount in U.S. Dollars at the rate of three-month LIBOR (as defined below) plus 0.400% per annum, from the date hereof until payment of such principal amount has been made or duly provided for, such interest to be paid quarterly on each Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable on any Interest Payment Date will, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Supplemental Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 preceding the related Interest Payment Date.

Business Day” means a day other than (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) a day on which banks in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed, or (iii) a day on which the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office is closed for business.

Calculation Agent” means The Bank of New York Mellon, or its successor appointed by the Issuer, acting as calculation agent.

Interest Determination Date” means the second London Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the relevant Interest Period.

Interest Payment Date” means each of March 19, June 19, September 19 and December 19, beginning [            ], provided, however, in each case, that if any such date is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

Interest Period” means the period commencing on an Interest Payment Date (or, with respect to the initial Interest Period only, commencing on the issue date for this Note) and ending on the day before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

LIBOR” means, with respect to any Interest Period, the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of that Interest Period and ending on the next Interest Payment Date that appears on Reuters LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date for that Interest Period. If such rate does not appear on the Reuters LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Interest Determination Date for that Interest Period, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for the Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Issuer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Interest Determination Date for that Interest Period. The Issuer will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that

If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR with respect to that Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Issuer, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first day of that Interest Period for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for that Interest Period and in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000. However, if fewer than three banks selected by the Issuer to provide quotations are quoting as described above, LIBOR for that Interest Period will be the same as LIBOR as determined for the previous Interest Period.

London Business Day” means a day that is a Business Day and a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted, or with respect to any future date are expected to be transacted, in the London interbank market.

Reuters LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated as Reuters LIBOR01 on the Reuters 3000 Xtra (or such other page as may replace the Reuters LIBOR01 Page on that service, or such other service as may be nominated as the information vendor, for the purpose of displaying rates or prices comparable to the London Interbank Offered Rate for U.S. dollar deposits).

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

This Note shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

In the event of redemption of the Notes in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.

8. Holders to be Treated as Owners.

10. Satisfaction and Discharge.

The Issuer and the Guarantor may satisfy and discharge their obligations under the Indenture while the Notes remain outstanding, if (a) all Outstanding Notes have become due and payable at their scheduled Maturity, or (b) all Outstanding Notes have been called for redemption, and in either case, the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay and discharge all Outstanding Notes on the date of their scheduled Maturity or the scheduled Redemption Date.

11. Supplement; Waiver.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Note.

(e) except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, the Guarantee is held in any final, nonappealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or the Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of the Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under the Guarantee;

(f)(i) the Issuer or the Guarantor fails to make by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, any payment of principal or interest due in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed money, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of which is an amount in excess of $100,000,000; or (ii) there is an acceleration of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $100,000,000 because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such non-payment or acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; or

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon, the Trustee under the Supplemental Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.

4. Supplemental Indenture and Indenture.

The Issuer issued this Note under a Supplemental Indenture and a Base Indenture, each dated as of June 18, 2010 (respectively, the “Supplemental Indenture” and the “Base Indenture” and together, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Note include those stated in the Indenture, and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“TIA”). This Note is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

5. Optional Redemption.

This Note may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, on any date prior to Maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 4.2 of the Supplemental Indenture, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments discounted, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate and 12 basis points, plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
