Ratio of earnings to fixed charges and ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends

The following table shows Actavis’ ratio of earnings to fixed charges and ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends for each of the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

 

      Year ended December 31,  
      2014     2013     2012      2011      2010  

Fixed Charges(1):

            

Interest expensed and capitalized (includes amortization of deferred financing costs)

     411.8        239.8        111.6         69.0         68.7   

Interest portion of rent expense(2)

     (1,712.1     (638.4     245.1         456.0         250.6

Total earnings available for fixed charges

Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends(5):

                   3.0         7.0         4.4   

 

 

 

(1)   Actavis’ fixed charges do not include any dividend requirements with respect to preferred shares because Actavis did not make any preferred share dividend payments during the periods indicated and has not made any dividend payments since its initial public offering in February 1993.

 

(2)   Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which Actavis believes to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in its leases, which are not material.

 

(3)   Actavis’ ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred share dividends differs from Warner Chilcott’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred share dividends in that pretax income for Warner Chilcott was $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $25 million for the year ended December 31, 2013; and, as a result Warner Chilcot had a deficiency of earnings to fixed charges of (2.8) for the year ended December 31, 2014 and (1.4) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

(4)   The ratio coverage in 2014 and 2013 for each of Actavis and Warner Chilcott was less than 1:1. Actavis would have needed to generate additional earnings of $1,712.1 and $638.4, respectively, to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1. Warner Chilcott would have needed to generate additional earnings of $1,642.1 and $613.4, respectively, to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.

 

(5)   Actavis did not make any preferred share dividend payments during the periods indicated and has not made any dividend payments since its initial public offering in February 1993; therefore, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. See Actavis’ reports on file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act under “Where You Can Find More Information” for more information.

Description of Actavis Funding SCS debt securities

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any debt securities that Actavis SCS may offer pursuant to this prospectus and a related prospectus supplement. The specific terms of any offered debt securities, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to these debt securities, will be described in a related prospectus supplement at the time of the offering. The prospectus supplement that will be filed with the SEC may or may not modify the general terms found in this prospectus. For a complete description of any series of debt securities, you should read both this prospectus and the prospectus supplement relating to that series of debt securities.

For purposes of this description, references to (i) “Actavis” are to Actavis plc and not to any of its current or future subsidiaries, (ii) the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Actavis SCS” are to Actavis Funding SCS, a common limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, (iii) “Warner Chilcott” are to Warner Chilcott Limited, a Bermuda exempted company, and not to any of its current or future subsidiaries, (iv) “Actavis Capital” are to Actavis Capital S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and not to any of its current or future subsidiaries and (v) “Actavis, Inc.” are to Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and an indirect subsidiary of Actavis Capital, and not to any of its current or future subsidiaries.

As used in this section, “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidence of indebtedness offered pursuant to this prospectus and a related prospectus supplement and authenticated by the trustee and delivered under the indenture described below.

Actavis SCS may issue debt securities under an indenture to be entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “trustee”), and Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. as guarantors (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “indenture”). If a different trustee or a different indenture for a series of debt securities is used, those details will be provided in a prospectus supplement and any other indentures will be filed with the SEC at the time they are used.

We have summarized below the material provisions of the indenture and the debt securities, or indicated which material provisions will be described in a related prospectus supplement. For further information, you should read the indenture. The indenture is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the indenture.

General

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may offer under the indenture is unlimited. We may issue registered debt securities from time to time and in one or more series. Each series of debt securities may have different terms. The terms of any series of debt securities will be established in or pursuant to a resolution, or actions taken pursuant to a resolution, certified by our general partner to have been duly adopted by the board of managers of our general partner, or in a supplement to the indenture relating to that series.

if the debt securities of such series are to be issued in denominations of other than $1,000 and any integral multiple in excess thereof, the denominations in which debt securities of such series are issuable;

 

 

if the debt securities of such series are to be issued in other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies (including currency unit or units) in which payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series shall or may be payable, or in which the debt securities of such series shall be denominated, and the particular provisions applicable thereto;

any other terms of such series, including any terms that may be required by or advisable under the laws or regulations of the United States or advisable (as we may determine) in connection with the marketing of the debt securities of such series.

We are not obligated to issue all debt securities of one series at the same time. Unless otherwise provided in the related supplemental indenture with respect to a series of debt securities, we may, without the consent of holders of any series of debt securities, increase the principal amount of the series by issuing additional debt securities in the future on the same terms and conditions, except for any difference in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of the additional debt securities, and with the same CUSIP number, so long as such additional debt securities constitute part of the same issue as the debt securities originally issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The debt securities originally issued and any additional debt securities would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a single series of debt securities for all purposes under the indenture.

Ranking

Unless otherwise specified, the debt securities are:

 

 

general unsecured senior obligations of ours;

 

 

effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of ours to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness;

 

 

structurally subordinated to all future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of our future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the debt securities;

 

 

equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of ours;

 

 

senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of ours; and

 

 

unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. on an unsubordinated unsecured basis.

Guarantees

The debt securities issued under the indenture will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc. The term “Guarantor” refers to Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc., each as a guarantor of the debt securities, and the term “Guarantee” refers to each such person’s guarantee of the debt securities.

Each Guarantee of the debt securities will be:

 

 

a general unsecured senior obligation of the Guarantor;

 

15


Table of Contents
 

effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of that Guarantor to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness;

 

 

structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of subsidiaries of that Guarantor that do not guarantee the debt securities;

 

 

equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor; and

 

 

senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of that Guarantor.

Claims of creditors of the subsidiaries of Warner Chilcott that do not guarantee the debt securities, including trade creditors and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by such subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiaries over the claims of our creditors and the creditors of the Guarantors, including holders of the debt securities. For more information, see “Risk factors” in the related prospectus supplement.

The Guarantees will terminate and the Guarantors will be deemed released from all of their obligations under the indenture upon covenant defeasance as provided under “—Defeasance—Covenant defeasance” below or satisfaction and discharge of the indenture as provided under “—Defeasance—Satisfaction and discharge” below. Any release described in this paragraph may be evidenced by a supplemental indenture or other instrument, which may be entered into without the consent of any holders of debt securities.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.

Interest

Unless otherwise specified in the related supplemental indenture with respect to a series of debt securities, if any payment date with respect to the debt securities falls on a day that is not a business day, we may make the payment on the next business day with the same force and effect as if it had been made on the original payment date, and no interest will accrue on the payment after the original payment date.

Redemption and repurchase

The related supplemental indenture with respect to a series of debt securities will indicate whether we have the option or obligation to redeem or repurchase any debt securities of such series in whole or in part prior to their maturity date. If we have the option or obligation to redeem or repurchase any series of the debt securities prior to maturity, the related supplemental indenture with respect thereto will indicate the redemption price, the method for redemption and the period or periods within which we may redeem or repurchase such debt securities.

See “—Optional redemption for changes in withholding taxes” for a description of the optional redemption of the debt securities in the event of certain tax developments.

Additional amounts

All payments required to be made by us under or with respect to the debt securities or by any Guarantor under or with respect to a Guarantee (each of us or such Guarantor and, in each case, any successor thereof, making such payment, the “Payor”), will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on

account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any authority or agency having power to tax within any jurisdiction in which any Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Payor (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Payor is required to withhold or deduct such taxes by law or regulation.

If a Payor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the debt securities or a Guarantee, as applicable, such Payor will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by any holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder or beneficial owner would have received if such taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

 

(a)   any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) so imposed, withheld, deducted or levied but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen, domiciliary, national or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than any connection arising solely from the acquisition or holding of any debt security, the receipt of any payments in respect of such debt security or Guarantee or the exercise or enforcement of rights under a Guarantee);

 

(b)   any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment;

 

(c)   any taxes which are payable other than by withholding or deduction from payments made under or with respect to the debt securities or any Guarantee;

 

(d)   any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) imposed, withheld, deducted or levied if such holder or the beneficial owner of any debt security or interest therein (i) complied with all reasonable written requests by the Payor (made at a time that would enable the holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with such request) to provide timely and accurate information or documentation concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such holder or beneficial owner or (ii) made any declaration or similar claim or satisfied any certification, information or reporting requirement, which in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, all or part of such taxes;

 

(e)   any taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/ EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN (European Union Economic and Finance Ministers) Council Meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments which was adopted by the ECOFIN Council on 3 June 2003, or pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or any agreement entered into by a new European Union Member State with (i) any other state or (ii) any relevant dependent or associated territory of any European Union Member State providing for measures equivalent to or the same as those provided for by such Directive;

 

17


Table of Contents
(f)   any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a debt security presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant debt security to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union;

 

(g)   any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a payment which could have been made without deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the debt security for payment (where presentation is required) within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such debt security 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 or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the debt security been presented on any day during the 30-day period);

 

(h)   any taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made under or with respect to such debt security or Guarantee to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual holder of such debt security;

 

(i)   any taxes payable under Sections 1471-1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as of the issue date of the debt securities (or any amended or successor version), any regulations or official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith, or any law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code;

 

(j)   any taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

 

(k)   any taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (a) through (j) above.

The Payor will pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, excise, property, court or documentary taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies and interest, penalties and other reasonable expenses related thereto that arise in or are levied by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, issuance, delivery, enforcement or registration of the debt securities, the indenture, the Guarantees or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (other than on a transfer or assignment of the debt securities of any series after the offering thereof).

The Payor will make or cause to be made any withholding or deduction required in respect of taxes, and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Payor will use reasonable efforts to provide, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any such taxes so deducted or withheld is made, the trustee with official receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the taxes so deducted or withheld.

If any Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the debt securities, the Payor will deliver to the paying agent with a copy to the trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 45th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Payor shall notify the paying agent and the trustee promptly thereafter) a certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable and such other information reasonably necessary to enable the paying agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders or beneficial owners on the relevant payment date.

(a)   the payment of principal;

 

(b)   the payment of interest; or

 

(c)   any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the debt securities,

such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this section “Additional amounts,” to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

The obligations described under this section “—Additional amounts” will survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of the indenture or any Guarantee and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person (as defined under “—Certain covenants—Definition of certain terms” below) to the Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Optional redemption for changes in withholding taxes

We are entitled to redeem any series of debt securities, at our option, at any time in whole but not in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in the event any Payor has become or would become obligated to pay, on the next date on which any amount would be payable with respect to such series of debt securities, any Additional Amounts (but, in the case of a Guarantor, only if such amount could not be paid by us or another Guarantor who can pay such amount without the obligation to pay Additional Amounts), in each case, as a result of:

 

(a)   a change in, or an amendment to, the laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) or treaties of any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or

 

(b)   any change in, amendment to, or introduction of any official published position regarding the application, administration or interpretation of such laws (including any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder and including the decision of any court, governmental agency or tribunal),

which change, amendment or introduction is publicly announced or becomes effective on or after the date of the indenture or the relevant supplemental indenture relating to the original issuance of the affected series of debt securities and the Payor cannot avoid such obligation by taking reasonable measures available to it (including making payment through a Paying Agent located in another jurisdiction). The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor permitted under “—Certain covenants—Merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets” is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in the preceding paragraph, we will deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate to the effect that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. We will also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Payor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, or introduction described above. Absent manifest error, the trustee will accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the Payor’s obligations, to pay such Additional Amounts, and it will be conclusive and binding on the holders.

Repurchase upon a change of control

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to any series of debt securities, unless we have redeemed the relevant series of debt securities in full, we will make an offer to each holder (the “Change of Control Offer”) of such debt securities to repurchase any and all (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder’s debt securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, we will be required to mail a notice to holders of the relevant debt securities describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase their debt securities on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant to the procedures required by the debt securities and described in such notice. We must comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the debt securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control (as defined below), conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the debt securities, we will be required to comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under the Change of Control repurchase provisions of the debt securities by virtue of such conflicts.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, with respect to any series of debt securities, we will be required, to the extent lawful, to:

 

 

accept for payment all debt securities or portions of debt securities of such series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

 

prior to 10:00 a.m. New York city time, deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all debt securities or portions of debt securities of such series properly tendered; and

 

 

deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the debt securities of such series properly accepted, together with an officer’s certificate stating (1) the aggregate principal amount of such debt securities or portions of such debt securities being purchased, (2) that all conditions precedent contained in the indenture of such series of debt securities to make a Change of Control Offer have been complied with and (3) that the Change of Control Offer has been made in compliance with the indenture of such series of debt securities.

Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means, with respect to any series of debt securities, that such series of debt securities is rated below Investment Grade Rating by both of the Rating Agencies on any date commencing upon the first public notice by us of the occurrence of a Change of Control or our intention to effect a Change of Control and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of such series of debt securities is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies).

Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

(1) direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, amalgamation or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the

 

20


Table of Contents

properties or assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than Actavis or one of its subsidiaries;

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger, amalgamation or consolidation) as a result of which any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of Actavis’ outstanding voting stock or other voting stock into which Actavis’ voting stock is reclassified, consolidated, exchanged or changed, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that a transaction will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (a) Actavis becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (b)(i) the holders of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction are substantially the same as the holders of Actavis’ voting stock immediately prior to that transaction or (ii) no “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power of the voting stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction;

(3) Actavis consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, any “person” or “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or any “person” or “group” consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, Actavis, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of Actavis’ voting stock or the voting stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of Actavis’ voting stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the voting stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent company of the surviving person immediately after giving effect to such transaction;

(4) we shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis, Warner Chilcott or Actavis Capital;

(5) Warner Chilcott or Actavis Capital shall cease to be a direct or indirect subsidiary of Actavis; or

(6) the adoption of a plan relating to Actavis’ liquidation or dissolution.

For purposes of this definition, “voting stock” means with respect to any specified person (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) capital stock of any class or kind the holders of which are ordinarily, in the absence of contingencies, entitled to vote for the election of directors (or persons performing similar functions) of such person, even if the right to vote has been suspended by the happening of such a contingency.

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that we offer to repurchase the debt securities as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Actavis and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

Investment Grade Rating” means a rating by Moody’s equal to or higher than Baa3 (or the equivalent under a successor rating category of Moody’s) or a rating by S&P equal to or higher than BBB- (or the equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P).

 

21


Table of Contents

Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and any successor to its ratings agency business.

Rating Agencies” means (1) Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either or both of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate a particular series of debt securities or fails to make a rating of a particular series of debt securities publicly available for reasons outside of our control, then, in each case, for such series of debt securities, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by us (as certified by a resolution of our board of directors) as a replacement agency for either Moody’s, S&P, or both of them, as the case may be.

S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business and any successor to its rating agency business.

Certain covenants

Limitations on liens

Warner Chilcott will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries, including Actavis SCS, the issuer of the debt securities, and Actavis Capital and Actavis, Inc., together with Warner Chilcott, the guarantors of the debt securities, to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien (as defined below) (other than permitted Liens) on any property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness of Warner Chilcott, any of its subsidiaries or any indebtedness of any other Person (as defined below), unless Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary also secures all payments due under the indenture, the debt securities and the Guarantees, on an equal and ratable basis with such other indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of indebtedness subordinated to the debt securities or the Guarantees, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative priority as the debt securities and the Guarantees, will have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) for so long as such other indebtedness shall be so secured.

The indenture contains the following exceptions to the foregoing prohibition:

(a) with respect to any particular series of debt securities, Liens existing on the date of first issuance of such debt securities;

(b) Liens on property owned or leased by a Person existing at the time such Person is merged with or into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott; provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such merger or consolidation and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person merged into or consolidated with Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary;

(c) Liens on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof by Warner Chilcott or any subsidiary of Warner Chilcott, provided that such Liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such acquisition and do not extend to any property other than the property so acquired by Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary;

(d) Liens to secure indebtedness incurred prior to, at the time of or within 18 months after the acquisition of any property or the completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any property, as the case may be, for the purpose of financing all or a part of the purchase price or cost thereof and Liens to the extent they secure indebtedness in excess of such purchase price or cost and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such property;

(e) Liens in favor of or required by contracts with governmental entities;

(f) any Lien securing indebtedness of a subsidiary owing to Warner Chilcott or to one or more of Warner Chilcott’s subsidiaries;

 

22


Table of Contents

(g) with respect to any particular series of debt securities, any Lien incurred in connection with any acquisition or investment specified in a supplemental indenture with respect to such series of debt securities that is not otherwise prohibited by the indenture; and

(h) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (a) through (g) above, inclusive, so long as (1) the principal amount of the indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of indebtedness so secured at the time of the extension, renewal or replacement (except that, where an additional principal amount of indebtedness is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may be secured by the Lien as well) and (2) the Lien is limited to the same property subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (and improvements on the property); and

(i) any Lien that would not otherwise be permitted by clauses (a) through (h) above, inclusive, securing indebtedness which, together with:

 

   

the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other indebtedness of Warner Chilcott and its subsidiaries owning property which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause (i), and

 

   

the aggregate Value (as defined below) of existing Sale and Leaseback Transactions (as defined below) which would be subject to the foregoing restrictions absent this clause (i),

does not exceed the greater of $750 million or 15% of Warner Chilcott’s Consolidated Net Worth (as defined below).

Limitation on sale and leaseback transactions

Warner Chilcott will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries to, enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction unless:

(a) Warner Chilcott or such subsidiary could incur indebtedness, in a principal amount at least equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the debt securities and the Guarantees) because such Lien would be of a character that no violation of the covenant described under “—Limitations on liens” above would result; or

(b) Warner Chilcott applies, during the six months following the effective date of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction, an amount equal to the Value of the Sale and Leaseback Transaction to the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt (as defined below) or to the acquisition of property.

Merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets

The indenture provides that none of we, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the successor Person thereto or the acquiring Person, as applicable, would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc. will consolidate with, merge with or into, amalgamate with, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its or its subsidiaries’ property and assets taken as a whole (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into us, or amalgamate with us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable, unless:

(a) we, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable, shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or Actavis, Inc., as applicable) formed by such consolidation or into which such entity is merged (or the resulting amalgamated company), or that

 

23


Table of Contents

acquired or leased such property and assets (the “Surviving Person”), shall be a corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company or trust organized and validly existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Ireland, Bermuda, Puerto Rico or the United States or a political subdivision thereof, and shall in any such case expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of such entity’s obligations under the indenture and the debt securities;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default (each as defined in the indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) we deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate and opinion of counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with.

The Surviving Person (if other than us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the Surviving Person would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc.) shall expressly assume, in accordance with clause (a) above, the rights and obligations of, and succeed to and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for, us, Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital or, solely to the extent the Surviving Person would be a subsidiary of Actavis plc, Actavis, Inc., as applicable, under the indenture, the debt securities and Guarantee, as applicable.

Although these types of transactions are permitted under the indenture, certain of the foregoing transactions could constitute a Change of Control, permitting each holder to require us to repurchase the debt securities of such holder, as described under “—Repurchase upon a Change of Control” above.

Reports to holders

Warner Chilcott will:

(a) file with the trustee, within 30 days after Warner Chilcott is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Warner Chilcott may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that availability of such reports on a website maintained by the SEC shall be deemed to fulfill this requirement or, if at any time Warner Chilcott is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

Table of Contents

If at any time Actavis plc (or a successor thereto) is the direct or indirect parent company of Warner Chilcott, then the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to holders of the debt securities pursuant to this covenant may, at our option, be furnished by and be those of Actavis plc (or its successor) rather than Warner Chilcott; provided that a reasonably detailed description of any material differences between Actavis plc’s financial information and Warner Chilcott’s financial information will be provided in each annual and quarterly report. Any report required to be furnished under this covenant will be deemed furnished upon public filing with the SEC.

Holding company status

For so long as any series of debt securities are outstanding, no subsidiary of Actavis that, directly or indirectly through any other subsidiary, owns any Equity Interests (as defined below) in Warner Chilcott (other than any such subsidiary of Actavis that fully and unconditionally guarantees the debt securities) will and, unless Actavis provides a guarantee of the debt securities, Actavis (each such subsidiary and, as long as applicable, Actavis, the “Passive Holding Companies”) will not, conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any active trade or business or operations other than through a subsidiary of Warner Chilcott; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any Passive Holding Company from the following: (i) ownership of Equity Interests of Warner Chilcott or in one or more subsidiaries of Actavis that are Passive Holding Companies, (ii) the maintenance of its legal existence and, with respect to Actavis, its status as a public company (including the ability to incur fees, costs and expenses relating to such maintenance), (iii) the performance of its obligations with respect to any indebtedness in respect of which it is an obligor and any other agreement to which it is a party, (iv) with respect to Actavis, any offering of its common stock or any other Equity Interests (including any mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and any equity-linked securities) or, with respect to any Passive Holding Company other than Actavis, any other issuance of its Equity Interests, (v) the making of payments on account of its Equity Interests or any subordinated debt, (vi) the incurrence of indebtedness, (vii) the making of contributions to (or other equity investments in) the capital of its direct subsidiaries (which will be Passive Holding Companies or Warner Chilcott), (viii) the creation of, and ownership of the Equity Interests in, any a newly formed subsidiary with capitalization of less than $1,000,000 that is formed solely for the purpose of consummating an acquisition by Actavis so long as, within twelve months such newly formed subsidiary merges with and into a target entity and the survivor thereof becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Warner Chilcott or its subsidiaries, (ix) providing a guarantee of indebtedness or other obligations of Actavis or any of its subsidiaries, (x) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member or parent of the consolidated group, (xi) holding any cash or cash equivalents (including cash and cash equivalents received in connection with dividends or distributions from Warner Chilcott or its subsidiaries) and any other assets on a temporary basis that are in the process of being transferred through such Passive Holding Company as part of a downstream contribution or an upstream distribution or other upstream payment (e.g., a spin-off of assets), (xii) providing indemnification to officers and directors, (xiii) the ownership or disposition of assets that are permitted to be held by it in accordance with this covenant and (xiv) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described above.

Certain other covenants

The indenture contains certain other covenants regarding, among other matters, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities, maintenance of a payment office, delivering of compliance certificates and payment of taxes. The indenture does not contain restrictive covenants relating to total indebtedness, interest coverage, stock repurchases, recapitalizations, dividends and distributions to shareholders or current ratios. Other than as described above, the provisions of the indenture will not afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event of a sudden or significant decline in our credit quality or in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us or any of our affiliates that may adversely affect such holders.

Events of default

The indenture defines an Event of Default with respect to each series of debt securities as any one of the following events:

 

 

Default in the payment of the principal or any premium on the debt securities of such series when due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise).

 

 

Default for 30 days in the payment of any interest on a debt security of that series when due.

 

 

Failure by us or any Guarantor to comply with the provisions described under the section “—Repurchase upon a Change of Control” above.

 

 

Failure by us or any Guarantor, as applicable, to observe or perform any other term of the indenture (other than a covenant or agreement in respect of which such non-compliance would otherwise be an Event of Default) for a period of 60 days after we receive a notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of 25% of the principal amount of the debt securities of that series.

 

 

Default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc. (or the payment of which is guaranteed by us or any Guarantor), whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issue date of such series of debt securities, if that default:

(i) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, and after giving effect to applicable grace periods) of such indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its scheduled maturity,

and, in each case, the amount of any such indebtedness, together with the amount of any other indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $300 million or more; provided, however, that, if the default under the mortgage, indenture or instrument is cured by us or the applicable Guarantor, or waived by the holders of the indebtedness, in each case as permitted by the governing mortgage, indenture or instrument, then the Event of Default caused by such default will be deemed likewise to be cured or waived.

 

 

Failure by Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc. to pay or discharge any final judgment or order (to the extent any such judgment or order is not paid or covered by insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) aggregating in excess of $300 million which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days.

 

 

Except as permitted by the indenture, any Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee.

 

28


Table of Contents
 

Certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc.

An Event of Default under one series of debt securities will not necessarily constitute an Event of Default under any other series of debt securities. The indenture will provide that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of debt securities issued thereunder of any default if and so long as the trustee in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series; provided that the trustee may not withhold notice of default in payment of the principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, on any of the debt securities of that series.

Remedies if an Event of Default occurs

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to Warner Chilcott, Actavis Capital, us or Actavis, Inc., all outstanding debt securities issued under the indenture will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities may declare all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately.

Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any holders of debt securities of any series unless such holders of that series have offered to the trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense. No holder of a debt security of any series may pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the debt securities of such series unless:

 

(1)   such holder has previously given the trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

 

(2)   holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of such series make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

(3)   such holder or holders offer and provide to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense resulting therefrom;

 

(4)   the trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

 

(5)   during such 60-day period, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of the affected series by written notice to the trustee may, on behalf of the holders of all of the debt securities of that series, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, except a continuing default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the debt securities of that series.

We are required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the indenture. Upon becoming aware of any default or Event of Default, we are required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such default or Event of Default.

Modification and waiver

There are four types of changes we can make to the indenture and the debt securities.

Changes requiring your approval.    First, without the consent of each holder of debt securities of any series affected by the change, there are changes that we cannot make to the debt securities of such series (but only with respect to any debt securities of any series held by a non-consenting holder). Following is a list of those types of changes:

 

 

change the stated maturity of the principal of or any installment of principal or interest on debt securities of any series;

 

 

reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on or any premium payable upon the redemption of the debt securities of any series;

 

 

reduce the rate of interest, including defaulted interest, on the debt securities of any series;

 

 

reduce any amount payable on redemption, prepayment or purchase of debt securities of any series;

 

 

reduce the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series which would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof;

 

 

make the principal of, or interest on, the debt securities of any series payable in any coin or currency or in a place of payment other than in accordance with the terms of the debt securities of such series, the indenture and any supplemental indenture;

 

 

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on debt securities of any series when due;

 

 

reduce the percentage in principal amount of the debt securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or to waive certain defaults; or

 

 

modify any other aspect of the provisions dealing with modification and waiver of the indenture, except to increase the percentage in principal amount of outstanding notes required to take any such action or to provide that other provisions of the indenture may not be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected thereby.

Changes not requiring approval.    The second type of change does not require any vote by holders of the debt securities. Following is a list of those types of changes:

 

 

to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the trustee as security for the debt securities of any series, any property or assets;

 

 

to evidence the assumption of our or any Guarantor’s obligations to holders of the debt securities of any series by a successor in the case of a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of us or such Guarantor or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or such Guarantor’s assets permitted under the covenant described under “—Merger, amalgamation, consolidation or sale of assets”;

 

 

to add to our covenants or any Guarantor’s covenants such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions as we shall consider to be for the protection of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default;

 

 

to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the indenture or any supplemental indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the

 

30


Table of Contents
 

indenture or in any supplemental indenture, or to make any other provisions as the Company may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such provisions shall materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities of any series;

 

 

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment of a successor trustee;

 

 

to provide for uncertificated debt securities of any series in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities of such series or to alter the provisions of the indenture relating to the issuance, execution, form and registration of debt securities in a manner that does not materially and adversely affect any holder of debt securities of such series;

 

 

to conform the text of the indenture, the debt securities of any series or the Guarantees to any provision of the “Description of the Actavis Funding SCS debt securities” or the “Description of the notes,” as applicable, in this prospectus or the related prospectus supplement for such series to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Actavis Funding SCS debt securities” or the “Description of the notes,” as applicable, was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the indenture or the debt securities of such series which intent shall be evidenced by an officer’s certificate to that effect;

 

 

to provide for the issuance of additional debt securities of any series in accordance with the limitations set forth in the indenture as of the date hereof;

 

 

to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of all or any series of debt securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights thereunder of any such holder or any holder of a beneficial interest in the debt securities of such series in a material manner;

 

 

to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended;

 

 

to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;

 

 

to secure our or any Guarantor’s obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series;

 

 

in the case of convertible or exchangeable debt securities of any series, subject to the provisions of the supplemental indenture for such series of debt securities, to provide for conversion rights, exchange rights and/or repurchase rights of holders of such series of debt securities in connection with any reclassification or change of our common stock or in the event of any amalgamation, consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our or our subsidiaries’ assets substantially as an entirety occurs;

 

 

in the case of convertible or exchangeable debt securities of any series, to reduce the conversion price or exchange price applicable to such series of debt securities;

 

 

in the case of convertible or exchangeable debt securities of any series, to increase the conversion rate or exchange ratio in the manner described in the supplemental indenture for such series of debt securities; provided that the increase will not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series in any material respect;

 

 

any other action to amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series as set forth in a supplemental indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series as otherwise permitted by the indenture.

Changes requiring a majority vote.    Any other change to the indenture and the debt securities would require the following approval:

 

 

If the change affects only debt securities of one series, it must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series.

 

31


Table of Contents
 

If the change affects the debt securities of one series as well as the debt securities of one or more other series issued under the indenture, it must be approved by the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series and of each other series of debt securities affected by the change voting as one class.

Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding may, by written notice to the trustee on behalf of the holders of all of the securities of such series, waive an existing default or event of default and its consequences, except a continuing default or event of default in the payment of the principal amount, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any debt security of such series.

Further details concerning voting

The debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside, segregated and held in trust money for their payment or redemption. The debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described under “—Defeasance—Full defeasance” below.

We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding debt securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indenture. In certain limited circumstances, the trustee will be entitled to set a record date for action by holders. If we or the trustee set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of debt securities, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding debt securities on the record date and must be taken within 180 days following the record date or another period that we may specify (or as the trustee may specify, if it set the record date). We may shorten or lengthen (but not beyond 180 days) this period from time to time.

Defeasance

Unless otherwise specified in a related supplemental indenture with respect to a series of debt securities, the following discussion of full defeasance and discharge will apply to all series of the debt securities.

Full defeasance

If there is a change in U.S. federal tax law, as described below, we can legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on any series of debt securities (called “full defeasance”) if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

 

we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of such series of debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities or bonds that will generate enough cash in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified independent public accountants, to make interest, principal, any premium and any other payments on such series of debt securities on their various due dates;

 

 

there must be a change in current U.S. federal tax law or an IRS ruling that lets us make the above deposit without causing holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead repaid the debt securities ourselves when due. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would be treated as though we took back the debt securities and gave holders their share of the cash and debt securities or bonds deposited in trust. In that event, holders could recognize gain or loss on the securities they give back to us;

 

 

we must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming the tax law change described above;

 

 

no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

 

32


Table of Contents
 

such full defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any of our or any Guarantors’ material agreements or instruments;

 

 

we must deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate stating that we did not make the deposit with the intent of preferring the holders of the debt securities over our other creditors with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding such creditors; and

 

 

we must deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate and opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the full defeasance have been complied with.

If we accomplished full defeasance, as described above, holders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the debt securities. Holders could not look to us for repayment in the event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever become bankrupt or insolvent.

However, even if we make the deposit in trust and opinion delivery arrangements discussed above, a number of our obligations relating to the debt securities will remain. These include our obligations:

 

 

to register the transfer and exchange of debt securities;

 

 

to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities;

 

 

to maintain paying agencies; and

 

 

to hold money for payment in trust.

Covenant defeasance

Under current U.S. federal tax law, we can make the same type of deposit described above and be released from some of the covenants in any series of debt securities. This is called “covenant defeasance.” In that event, holders would lose the protection of those covenants but would gain the protection of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay such series of debt securities. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:

 

 

we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all direct holders of the debt securities of the same series a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities or bonds that will generate enough cash in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified independent public accountants, to make interest, principal, any premium and any other payments on the debt securities of such series on their various due dates; and

 

 

we must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that under current U.S. federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and instead repaid the debt securities ourselves when due.

If we accomplish covenant defeasance, holders can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities in the event of a shortfall in the trust deposit, as could occur if there is an Event of Default (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities become immediately due and payable. Depending on the event causing the default, you may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.

Satisfaction and discharge

The indenture will cease to be of further effect and the trustee, upon our demand and at our expense, will execute appropriate instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture upon compliance with certain conditions, including:

 

 

our having paid all sums payable by us under the indenture, as and when the same shall be due and payable;

 

 

our having delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities theretofore authenticated under the indenture;

 

 

all debt securities of any series outstanding under the indenture not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year, and we shall have deposited with the trustee sufficient cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities or bonds, or a combination thereof, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank or appraisal firm to pay, at maturity or upon redemption, all such debt securities of any series outstanding under the indenture; or

 

 

our having delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate (or equivalent thereof) and an opinion of counsel, each stating that these conditions have been satisfied.

Judgment currency

Any payment on account of an amount that is payable in U.S. dollars (the “Required Currency”), which is made to or for the account of any holder or the trustee in any other lawful currency (the “Judgment Currency”), whether as a result of any judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the liquidation of Actavis SCS, shall constitute a discharge of our obligation under the indenture and the debt securities, only to the extent of the amount of the Required Currency which such holder or the trustee, as the case may be, could purchase in the New York foreign exchange markets with the amount of the Judgment Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the first Business Day following receipt of the payment in the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Required Currency that could be so purchased is less than the amount of the Required Currency originally due to such holder or the trustee, as the case may be, we shall indemnify and hold harmless the holder or the trustee, as the case may be, from and against all loss or damage arising out of, or as a result of, such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in the indenture, any supplemental indenture or the debt securities, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any holder or the trustee from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

Consent to jurisdiction and service of process

The indenture will provide that we and any Guarantor not organized in the United States will appoint CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to the indenture, the debt securities and the Guarantees and for actions brought under the U.S. federal or state securities laws brought in any U.S. federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York. In relation to any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the indenture, the debt securities and the Guarantees, we and each Guarantor will in the indenture irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, County and State of New York, United States.

Table of Contents

Regarding the trustee

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee under the indenture, will be appointed by us as paying agent, registrar and DTC custodian with regard to the debt securities. The trustee, the Guarantors or Actavis or their respective affiliates may from time to time in the future provide banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of their business.

In addition to any register maintained by the registrar (the “Register”), a register of notes will be kept at the registered office of Actavis SCS, for Luxembourg law purposes. Upon written request from Actavis SCS, the registrar shall provide Actavis SCS with a copy of the Register to enable it to maintain a register of the notes at its registered office. Actavis SCS accepts any copy of the Register as correspondence and document recording the transfer of any notes and agrees to update its register upon receipt of such copy.

Governing law

The indenture and any debt securities and guarantees will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York but without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the law of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

Form and registration of debt securities

Unless otherwise specified in a related supplemental indenture with respect to a series of debt securities, debt securities will be issued in registered form, without interest coupons, in the form of global securities, as further described below. We will not impose a service charge in connection with any transfer or exchange of any debt security, but we may in general require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange.

Global securities

We expect that pursuant to procedures established by DTC (i) upon the issuance of the global securities, DTC or its custodian will credit, on its internal system, the principal amount at maturity of the individual beneficial interests represented by such global securities to the respective accounts of persons who have accounts with such depositary and (ii) ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Such accounts initially will be designated by or on behalf of the relevant underwriters, and ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC, or “participants,” or to persons who hold interests through participants. Holders may hold their interests in the global securities directly through DTC if they are participants in the system, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in the system.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of the debt securities, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by such global securities for all purposes under the indenture. No beneficial owner of an interest in the global securities will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture.

Payments of the principal of, premium (if any), and interest on, the global securities will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. None of us, the trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest.

 

35


Table of Contents

We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the global securities, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global securities as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global securities held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way through DTC’s same-day funds system in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds. If a holder requires physical delivery of a certificated security for any reason, including to sell debt securities to persons in states which require physical delivery of the debt securities, or to pledge such securities, such holder must transfer its interest in a global security, in accordance with the normal procedures of DTC and with the procedures set forth in the indenture.

DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of debt securities (including the presentation of debt securities for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in the global securities are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of debt securities as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an event of default under the indenture, DTC will exchange the global securities for certificated securities, which it will distribute to its participants.

DTC has advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “Clearing Agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book- entry changes in accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly as indirect participants.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global securities among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated securities

Certificated securities shall be issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities (i) if DTC (A) notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global securities, and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice, or (B) ceases to be qualified to serve as depositary and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days of such notice, (ii) we execute and deliver to the trustee a company order that such global security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable, and such transfers shall be registrable, or (iii) an Event of Default of which the trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the registrar has received a request from a beneficial owner to issue such certificate securities.

Description of Actavis share capital

The following description of our share capital is a summary. You should refer to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Our authorized share capital is 40,000 and US$101,000 divided into 40,000 deferred ordinary shares of 1.00 each, 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of US$0.0001 each and 10,000,000 serial preferred shares of US$0.0001 each. As of February 13, 2015, we had 40,000 deferred ordinary shares, 266,252,295 issued and outstanding ordinary shares and no issued and outstanding serial preferred shares.

Actavis may issue shares subject to the maximum authorized share capital contained in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The authorized share capital may be increased or reduced (but not below the number of issued ordinary shares, serial preferred shares or deferred ordinary shares, as applicable) by a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting at which a quorum is present (referred to under Irish law as an “ordinary resolution”). The shares comprising the authorized share capital of Actavis may be divided into shares of such nominal value as the resolution shall prescribe. As a matter of Irish company law, the directors of a company may issue new ordinary, serial preferred or deferred ordinary shares without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the articles of association or by an ordinary resolution adopted by the shareholders at a general meeting. The authorization may be granted for a maximum period of five years, at which point it must be renewed by the shareholders by an ordinary resolution. The articles of association of Actavis authorize the board of directors of Actavis to issue new ordinary, serial preferred or deferred ordinary shares without shareholder approval for a period of five years from the date of adoption of such articles of association, being October 1, 2013.

The rights and restrictions to which the ordinary shares are subject are prescribed in Actavis’ articles of association. Actavis’ articles of association permit the board of directors, without shareholder approval, to determine certain terms of each series of the serial preferred shares issued by Actavis, including the number of shares, designations, voting rights, dividend rights, liquidation and other rights and redemption, repurchase or exchange rights.

Irish law does not recognize fractional shares held of record. Accordingly, Actavis’ articles of association do not provide for the issuance of fractional Actavis ordinary shares, and the official Irish register of Actavis will not reflect any fractional shares.

Whenever an alteration or reorganization of the share capital of Actavis would result in any Actavis shareholder becoming entitled to fractions of a share, the Actavis board of directors may, on behalf of those shareholders that would become entitled to fractions of a share, arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among the shareholders who would have been entitled to the fractions. For the purpose of any such sale the board may authorize some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to the purchaser, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

Description of Actavis ordinary shares

General

The following description of our ordinary shares is a summary. You should refer to the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Rights under the ordinary shares are subject to the Irish Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 (the “Irish Companies Acts”), as described in this prospectus.

Voting

Actavis’ articles of association provide that except where a greater majority is required by the Irish Companies Acts, any question, business or resolution proposed at any general meeting shall be decided by ordinary resolution.

At any meeting of Actavis, all resolutions will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is demanded by: (i) the chairman, (ii) at least three shareholders present in person or by proxy, (iii) any shareholder or shareholders present in person or by proxy and holding not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all shareholders having the right to vote at such meeting or (iv) any shareholder or shareholders holding shares in Actavis conferring the right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right. If voting takes place on a poll, rather than a show of hands, every shareholder entitled to vote has one vote for each share held unless otherwise provided in Actavis’ articles of association. Voting rights may be exercised by shareholders registered in the share register as of the record date for the meeting or by a duly appointed proxy of such a registered shareholder, which proxy need not be a shareholder. All proxies must be appointed in accordance with Actavis’ articles of association.

Treasury shares or Actavis ordinary shares that are held by subsidiaries of Actavis will not be entitled to be voted at general meetings of shareholders.

Irish law requires special resolutions (a “special resolution” requires the approval of not less than 75% of the votes of Actavis’ shareholders cast at a general meeting at which a quorum is present) of the shareholders at a general meeting to approve certain matters. Examples of matters requiring special resolutions include:

 

(i)   amending the objects or memorandum of association of Actavis;

 

(ii)   amending the articles of association of Actavis;

 

(iii)   approving a change of name of Actavis;

 

(iv)   authorizing the entering into of a guarantee or provision of security in connection with a loan, quasi-loan or credit transaction to a director or connected person;

 

(v)   opting out of preemption rights on the issuance of new Actavis shares;

 

(vi)   re-registration of Actavis from a public limited company to a private company;

 

(vii)   variation of class rights attaching to classes of Actavis shares (where the articles of association do not provide otherwise);

 

(viii)   purchase by Actavis of its shares off-market;

 

(ix)   reduction of Actavis’ issued share capital;

 

(x)   sanctioning a compromise/scheme of arrangement involving Actavis;

 

38


Table of Contents
(xi)   resolving that Actavis be wound up by the Irish courts;

 

(xii)   resolving in favor of a shareholders’ voluntary winding-up;

 

(xiii)   re-designation of Actavis shares into different share classes; and

 

(xiv)   setting the re-issue price of Actavis treasury shares.

Actavis’ articles of association provide that anything which may be done by resolution at a general meeting may be done by resolution in writing, but only if it is signed by or on behalf of all of the shareholders who would be entitled to attend the relevant meeting and vote on the relevant resolution, subject to the requirements of the Irish Companies Acts.

Under the Actavis articles of association and the Irish Companies Acts, any variation of class rights attaching to the issued Actavis ordinary shares must be approved in writing by holders of three-quarters of the issued shares in that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

The provisions of the articles of association of Actavis relating to general meetings apply to general meetings of the holders of any class of shares except that the necessary quorum is determined with reference to the shares of the holders of the class.

Dividend rights

Under Irish law, dividends and distributions may only be made from distributable reserves. Distributable reserves generally means accumulated realized profits less accumulated realized losses and includes reserves created by way of capital reduction. In addition, no distribution or dividend may be made unless the net assets of Actavis are equal to, or in excess of, the aggregate of Actavis’ called-up share capital plus undistributable reserves and the distribution does not reduce Actavis’ net assets below such aggregate. Undistributable reserves include the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve fund and the amount by which Actavis’ accumulated unrealized profits, so far as not previously utilized by any capitalization, exceed Actavis’ accumulated unrealized losses, so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital.

The determination as to whether or not Actavis has sufficient distributable reserves to fund a dividend must be made by reference to “relevant accounts” of Actavis. The “relevant accounts” are either the last set of unconsolidated annual audited financial statements or other financial statements properly prepared in accordance with the Irish Companies Acts, which give a “true and fair view” of Actavis’ unconsolidated financial position and accord with accepted accounting practice. The relevant accounts must be filed in the Irish Companies Registration Office (the official public registry for companies in Ireland).

Actavis’ amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize the directors to pay interim dividends to the extent they appear justified by profits without shareholder approval. The board of directors may also recommend a dividend to be approved and declared by the Actavis shareholders at a general meeting. The board of directors may direct that the payment be made by distribution of assets, shares or cash and no dividend issued may exceed the amount recommended by the directors. Dividends may be declared and paid in the form of cash or non-cash assets and may be paid in U.S. dollars or any other currency. All holders of Actavis ordinary shares will participate pro rata in respect of any dividend which may be declared in respect of ordinary shares by Actavis.

The directors of Actavis may deduct from any dividend payable to any shareholder any amounts payable by such shareholder to Actavis in relation to the Actavis ordinary shares.

Lien on shares, calls on shares and forfeiture of shares

Actavis’ articles of association provide that Actavis will have a first and paramount lien on every share for all moneys payable, whether presently due or not, payable in respect of such Actavis ordinary share. Subject to the terms of their allotment, directors may call for any unpaid amounts in respect of any shares to be paid, and if payment is not made, the shares may be forfeited. These provisions are standard inclusions in the articles of association of an Irish company limited by shares, such as Actavis, and will only be applicable to Actavis shares that have not been fully paid up.

Consolidation and division; subdivision

Under its articles of association, Actavis may, by ordinary resolution, consolidate and divide all or any of its issued share capital into shares of a larger amount than its existing shares or subdivide all or any of its issued share capital into shares of a smaller amount than its existing shares.

Transfer and registration of shares

The transfer agent for Actavis maintains the share register, registration in which will be determinative of membership in Actavis. A shareholder of Actavis who holds shares beneficially will not be the holder of record of such shares. Instead, the depository or other nominee will be the holder of record of those shares. Accordingly, a transfer of shares from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who also holds such shares beneficially through a depository or other nominee will not be registered in Actavis’ official share register, as the depository or other nominee will remain the record holder of any such shares.

A written instrument of transfer is required under Irish law in order to register on Actavis’ official share register any transfer of shares (i) from a person who holds such shares directly to any other person, (ii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to a person who holds such shares directly or (iii) from a person who holds such shares beneficially to another person who holds such shares beneficially where the transfer involves a change in the depository or other nominee that is the record owner of the transferred shares. An instrument of transfer is also required for a shareholder who directly holds shares to transfer those shares into his or her own broker account (or vice versa). Such instruments of transfer may give rise to Irish stamp duty, which must be paid prior to registration of the transfer on Actavis’ official Irish share register. However, a shareholder who holds shares outside of DTC may transfer those shares into DTC (or vice versa) without giving rise to Irish stamp duty, provided there is no change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of the shares as a result of the transfer and the transfer is not made in contemplation of a sale of the shares by a beneficial owner to a third party.

Any transfer of Actavis ordinary shares that is subject to Irish stamp duty will not be registered in the name of the buyer unless an instrument of transfer is duly stamped and provided to the transfer agent. Actavis’ articles of association allow Actavis, in its absolute discretion, to create an instrument of transfer and pay (or procure the payment of) any stamp duty, which is the legal obligation of a buyer. In the event of any such payment, Actavis is (on behalf of itself or its affiliates) entitled to (i) seek reimbursement from the buyer or seller (at its discretion), (ii) set off the amount of the stamp duty against future dividends payable to the buyer and (iii) claim a lien against the Actavis ordinary shares on which it has paid stamp duty. Parties to a share transfer may assume that any stamp duty arising in respect of a transaction in Actavis ordinary shares has been paid unless one or both of such parties is otherwise notified by Actavis.

Actavis’ amended and restated memorandum and articles of association delegate to Actavis’ secretary the authority to execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of a transferring party.

In order to help ensure that the official share register is regularly updated to reflect trading of Actavis ordinary shares occurring through normal electronic systems, Actavis intends to regularly produce any required

 

40


Table of Contents

instruments of transfer in connection with any transactions for which it pays stamp duty (subject to the reimbursement and set-off rights described above). In the event that Actavis notifies one or both of the parties to a share transfer that it believes stamp duty is required to be paid in connection with the transfer and that it will not pay the stamp duty, the parties may either themselves arrange for the execution of the required instrument of transfer (and may request a form of instrument of transfer from Actavis for this purpose) or request that Actavis execute an instrument of transfer on behalf of the transferring party in a form determined by Actavis. In either event, if the parties to the share transfer have the instrument of transfer duly stamped (to the extent required) and then provide it to Actavis’ transfer agent, the buyer will be registered as the legal owner of the relevant shares on Actavis’ official Irish share register (subject to the matters described below).

The directors may suspend registration of transfers from time to time, not exceeding 30 days in aggregate each year.

Rights upon liquidation

Actavis’ articles of association provide that the ordinary shareholders of Actavis are entitled to participate pro rata in a winding up, but their right to do so is subject to the rights of any holders of the serial preferred shares to participate under the terms of any series or class of such shares.

Preemption rights

Under Irish law certain statutory preemption rights apply automatically in favor of shareholders where shares are to be issued for cash. However, Actavis has opted out of these preemption rights in its articles of association as permitted under Irish company law. Because Irish law requires this opt-out to be renewed every five years by a special resolution of shareholders, Actavis’ articles of association provide that this opt-out must be so renewed. If the opt-out is not renewed, shares issued for cash must be offered to existing shareholders of Actavis on a pro rata basis to their existing shareholding before the shares can be issued to any new shareholders. Statutory preemption rights do not apply where shares are issued for non-cash consideration (such as in a stock-for-stock acquisition) and do not apply to the issue of non-equity shares (that is, shares that have the right to participate only up to a specified amount in any income or capital distribution) or where shares are issued pursuant to an employee option or similar equity plan.

Anti-takeover provisions

Actavis’ articles of association contain provisions that could have the effect of deterring coercive takeover practices, inadequate takeover bids and unsolicited offers. These provisions include, amongst others:

 

 

provisions of its articles of association which allow the board of directors to adopt a shareholder rights plan (commonly known as a “poison pill”) upon such terms and conditions as it deems expedient and in Actavis’ best interests;

 

 

rules regarding how Actavis shareholders may present proposals or nominate directors for election at shareholder meetings;

 

 

the right of the board of directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval in certain circumstances, subject to applicable law; and

 

 

the ability of the board of directors to fill vacancies on the board of directors in certain circumstances.

These provisions do not make Actavis immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition

that the board of directors determines is not in Actavis’ or its shareholders best interests. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

In addition, several mandatory provisions of Irish law could prevent or delay an acquisition of Actavis. For example, Irish law does not permit shareholders of an Irish public limited company to take action by written consent with less than unanimous consent. Actavis is also subject to various provisions of Irish law relating to mandatory bids, voluntary bids, requirements to make a cash offer and minimum price requirements, as well as substantial acquisition rules and rules requiring the disclosure of interests in its ordinary shares in certain circumstances. Also, as an Irish company, Actavis may only alter its memorandum and articles of association by special resolution.

Description of Actavis serial preferred shares

General

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 serial preferred shares of US$0.0001 each. The board of directors may provide by resolution for the issuance of serial preferred shares, in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares constituting those series and the designation of those series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of such series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, as are not inconsistent with our articles of association. Rights under the serial preferred shares are subject to the Irish Companies Acts. The issuance of serial preferred shares could have the effect of decreasing the market price of the ordinary shares and could adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of ordinary shares.

We will include in a related prospectus supplement the terms of any series of serial preferred shares being offered. These terms will include some or all of the following:

 

 

the title of the series and the number of shares in the series, which our board may, except where otherwise provided in the serial preferred shares designation, increase or decrease, but not below the number of shares then outstanding;

 

 

the price per share at which the serial preferred shares will be offered;

 

 

the dividend rate or rates or method of calculating the rates, the dates on which the dividends will be payable, whether or not dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends on the serial preferred shares being offered will cumulate and whether or not the dividends will be payable in cash and/or by the distribution of assets or shares;

 

 

whether the serial preferred shares may be convertible or exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes of common stock;

 

 

the voting rights (including the right to appoint directors to the Actavis board of directors in certain scenarios), if any, of the holders of shares of the serial preferred shares being offered;

 

 

the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, and the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the serial preferred shares being offered;

 

 

the liquidation preference per share of the series;

 

 

whether and the extent to which the series will be guaranteed;

 

 

any listing of the serial preferred shares being offered on any securities exchange;

 

 

whether interests in the shares of the series will be represented by depositary shares;

 

 

a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax and Irish tax considerations applicable to the serial preferred shares being offered;

 

 

the relative ranking and preferences of the serial preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or the winding up of our affairs;

 

 

any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of serial preferred shares ranking senior or equal to the series of serial preferred shares being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; and

 

43


Table of Contents
 

any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of the series.

Upon issuance, the serial preferred shares will be fully paid and nonassessable. As of the date of this prospectus, our board of directors had not established any series of serial preferred shares, and no serial preferred shares are outstanding.

Description of Actavis depositary shares

We may issue fractional interests in serial preferred shares, rather than serial preferred shares, with those rights and subject to the terms and conditions that we may specify in a related prospectus supplement. If we do so, we will provide for a depositary (either a bank or trust company depositary that has its principal office in the United States) to issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fractional interest in a serial preferred share. The serial preferred shares underlying the depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and the depositary. The related prospectus supplement will include the name and address of the depositary.

Description of Actavis ordinary share warrants

The Irish Companies Acts provide that directors may issue share warrants or options without shareholder approval once authorized to do so by the articles of association or an ordinary resolution of shareholders. Actavis’ articles of association confer such right on the board of directors, subject to applicable law and the rules of any stock exchange to which Actavis is subject. Actavis is subject to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange that require shareholder approval of certain equity plans and share issuances. Actavis’s board of directors may issue shares upon exercise of warrants or options without shareholder approval or authorization (up to the relevant authorized share capital limit). The related prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any Actavis ordinary share purchase warrants.

Description of Actavis ordinary share purchase contracts

and ordinary share purchase units

Actavis may issue ordinary share purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from Actavis and obligating Actavis to sell to the holders, or holders to sell to Actavis and Actavis to purchase from the holders, to the extent permitted by the Irish Companies Acts, a fixed or varying number of ordinary shares at a future date or dates. The price per ordinary share may be fixed at the time the ordinary share purchase contracts are entered into or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the ordinary share purchase contracts. Any ordinary share purchase contract may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of ordinary shares to be delivered pursuant to such ordinary share purchase contract upon the occurrence of certain events. The ordinary share purchase contracts may be entered into separately or as a part of ordinary share purchase units consisting of one or more ordinary share purchase contracts and any one or more of the securities offered under this prospectus or debt or equity obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, owned by Actavis.

The ordinary share purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a specified manner, and in certain circumstances we may deliver newly issued prepaid ordinary share purchase contracts upon release to a holder of any collateral securing such holder’s obligations under the original ordinary share purchase contract. Any one or more of the above securities, ordinary shares or the ordinary share purchase contracts, or other collateral, may be pledged as security for the holders’ obligations to purchase or sell, as the case may be, the ordinary shares under the ordinary share purchase contracts. The ordinary share purchase contracts may also allow the holders, under certain circumstances, to obtain the release of the security for their obligations under such contracts by depositing with the collateral agent, as substitute collateral, treasury securities with a principal amount at maturity equal to the collateral so released or the maximum number of ordinary shares deliverable by such holders under ordinary share purchase contracts requiring the holders to sell ordinary shares to Actavis. The terms of any payments provided for under the ordinary share purchase units will be described in the related prospectus supplement.

The related prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any ordinary share purchase contracts or ordinary share purchase units and, if applicable, prepaid ordinary share purchase contracts. The description in the prospectus supplement will be qualified in its entirety by reference to (1) the ordinary share purchase contracts; (2) the collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable, relating to such ordinary share purchase contracts or ordinary share purchase units; and (3) if applicable, the prepaid ordinary share purchase contracts and the document pursuant to which such prepaid ordinary share purchase contracts will be issued.

Agents, underwriters and those other third parties may engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

Each series of securities will be a new issue and, other than the ordinary shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ACT”, will have no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of securities on an exchange, and in the case of the ordinary shares, on any additional exchange, but, unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, we shall not be obligated to do so. Underwriters will not be obligated to make a market in any securities. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of any trading market for any securities.

Enforcement of civil liability under United States federal securities laws

Certain of the directors and executive officers of Actavis may be nonresidents of the United States. All or a substantial portion of the assets of such nonresident persons and of Actavis are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or Actavis, or to enforce against such persons or Actavis in U.S. courts judgments obtained in such courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States. Actavis has been advised by counsel that there is doubt as to the enforceability in Ireland against Actavis and/or its executive officers and directors who are non-residents of the United States, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.

There is no treaty between Ireland and the United States providing for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. The following requirements must be met before the foreign judgment will be deemed to be enforceable in Ireland:

 

 

The judgment must be for a definite sum;

 

The judgment must be final and conclusive; and

 

The judgment must be provided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

An Irish court will also exercise its right to refuse judgment if the foreign judgment was obtained by fraud, if the judgment violated Irish public policy, if the judgment is in breach of natural justice or if it is irreconcilable with an earlier foreign judgment.

Certain insolvency considerations under Luxembourg law

Insolvency proceedings

Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital are incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and have their registered offices in Luxembourg (together the “Luxembourg Obligors”). Accordingly, Luxembourg courts should have, in principle, jurisdiction to open main insolvency proceedings with respect to these Luxembourg Obligors, as entities having their registered office and central administration (administration centrale) and center of main interest (“COMI”), as used in the EC Regulation 1346/2000 of May 29, 2000 on insolvency proceedings (the “EU Regulation”), in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. According to the EU Regulation, there is a rebuttable presumption that a company has its COMI in the jurisdiction in which it has the place of its registered office. As a result, there is a rebuttable presumption that the COMI of the Luxembourg Obligors is in Luxembourg and consequently that any “main insolvency proceedings” (as defined in the EU Regulation) would be opened by a Luxembourg court and be governed by Luxembourg law.

However, the determination of where any of the Luxembourg Obligors has its COMI is a question of fact, which may change from time to time. Preamble 13 of the EU Regulation states that the COMI of a debtor should correspond to the place where the debtor conducts the administration of its interests on a regular basis and “is therefore ascertainable by third parties.” In the Eurofood IFSC Limited decision by the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”), the ECJ restated the presumption in the EU Regulation that the place of a company’s registered office is presumed to be the company’s COMI and stated that the presumption can only be rebutted if “factors which are both objective and ascertainable by third parties enable it to be established that an actual situation exists which is different from that which locating it at the registered office is deemed to reflect.” Subsequently, the ECJ stated in the Interedil Srl decision (Case C-396/09) that a debtor company’s COMI must be determined by attaching greater importance to the place of the company’s central administration, as may be established by objective factors which are ascertainable by third parties. Where the bodies responsible for the management and supervision of a company are in the same place as its registered office and the management decisions of the company are taken, in a manner that is ascertainable by third parties, in that place, the presumption in that provision cannot be rebutted. Where a company’s central administration is not in the same place as its registered office, the presence of company assets and the existence of contracts for the financial exploitation of those assets in a Member State of the European Union other than that in which the registered office is situated cannot be regarded as sufficient factors to rebut the presumption unless a comprehensive assessment of all the relevant factors makes it possible to establish, in a manner that is ascertainable by third parties, that the company’s actual center of management and supervision and of the management of its interests is located in that other Member State of the European Union.

Under Luxembourg insolvency laws, the following types of proceedings (the “Insolvency Proceedings”) may be opened against such Luxembourg Obligors:

 

 

bankruptcy proceedings (faillite), the opening of which is initiated by the relevant Luxembourg Obligor, by any of its creditors or by Luxembourg courts ex officio. The managers/directors of the Luxembourg Obligors have the obligation to file for bankruptcy within one month in case they are in a state of cessation of payment (cessations de paiements) and their creditworthiness has been impaired (ébranlement du crédit). Following such a request, the Luxembourg courts having jurisdiction may open bankruptcy proceedings, if the relevant Luxembourg Obligor (i) is in default of payment (cessation des paiements) and (ii) has lost its commercial creditworthiness (ébranlement de crédit). If a court finds that these conditions are satisfied, it may also open ex officio bankruptcy proceedings, absent a request made by the relevant Luxembourg Obligor. The main effects of such proceedings are (i) the suspension of all measures of enforcement against the relevant Luxembourg Obligor, except, subject to certain limited exceptions, for secured creditors and

 

52


Table of Contents
 

(ii) the payment of the Luxembourg Obligor’s creditors in accordance with their ranking upon the realization of the guarantor’s assets;

 

 

controlled management proceedings (gestion controlée), the opening of which may only be requested by the relevant Luxembourg Obligor and not by its creditors; and

 

 

composition proceedings (concordat préventif de la faillite), the obtaining of which is requested by the relevant Luxembourg Obligor only after having received a prior consent from a majority of its creditors holding at least 75% of the claims against such Luxembourg Obligor. The obtaining of such composition proceedings will trigger a provisional stay on enforcement of claims by creditors.

In addition to these proceedings, the ability of the holders of debt securities to receive payment on the debt securities may be affected by a decision of a Luxembourg court to grant a stay on payments (sursis de paiement) or to put the relevant Luxembourg Obligor into judicial liquidation (liquidation judiciaire). Judicial liquidation proceedings may be opened only at the request of the public prosecutor against companies pursuing an activity violating criminal laws or that are in serious breach or violation of the commercial code or of the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies as amended from time to time. The management of such liquidation proceedings will generally follow similar rules as those applicable to bankruptcy proceedings, except with respect to the rules regarding the “suspect period” as described below.

The Luxembourg Obligors’ liabilities in respect of the debt securities will, in the event of a liquidation of the Luxembourg Obligor following bankruptcy or judicial liquidation proceedings, rank after the cost of liquidation (including any debt incurred for the purpose of such liquidation) and those of the concerned obligor’s debts that are entitled to priority under Luxembourg law. For example, preferential debts under Luxembourg law include, among others:

 

 

certain amounts owed to the Luxembourg tax authorities (Administration des Contribution Directes);

 

 

value-added tax and other taxes and duties owed to the Luxembourg Value-Added Tax, Customs and Excise authorities (Administration de l’Enregistrement et des Domaines);

 

 

social security contributions; and

 

 

certain remuneration owed to employees.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above list is not exhaustive.

Assets in the form of shares, accounts or receivables over which a security interest has been granted and perfected in accordance with the Law of August 5, 2005 on Financial Collateral Arrangements will in principle not be available for distribution to unsecured creditors (except after enforcement and to the extent a surplus is realized), and subject to application of the relevant priority rule and liens and privileges arising mandatorily by law.

During insolvency proceedings, all enforcement measures by unsecured creditors are suspended. In the event of controlled management proceedings, the ability of secured creditors to enforce their security interest may also be limited, automatically causing the rights of secured creditors to be frozen until a final decision has been taken by the court as to the petition for controlled management, and may be affected thereafter by a reorganization order given by the relevant Luxembourg court. A reorganization order requires the prior approval of more than 50% of the creditors representing more than 50% of the relevant guarantor’s liabilities in order to take effect. Furthermore, declarations of default and subsequent acceleration (such as acceleration upon the occurrence of an event of default) may not be enforceable during controlled management proceedings.

 

53


Table of Contents

Luxembourg insolvency laws may also affect transactions entered into or payments made by the Luxembourg Obligor during the period before bankruptcy, the so-called “suspect period” (periode suspecte), which is a maximum of six months, as from the date on which the Luxembourg court formally adjudicates a person bankrupt, and, as for specific payments and transactions, during an additional period of ten days before the commencement of such period preceding the judgment declaring bankruptcy, except that in certain specific situations the court may set the start of the suspect period at an earlier date, if the bankruptcy judgment was preceded by another insolvency proceedings (e.g., a suspension of payments or controlled management proceedings) under Luxembourg law. In particular:

 

 

pursuant to article 445 of the Luxembourg code of commerce, specified transactions (such as, in particular, the granting of a security interest for antecedent debts; the payment of debts which have not fallen due, whether payment is made in cash or by way of assignment, sale, set-off or by any other means; the payment of debts which have fallen due by any means other than in cash or by bill of exchange; the sale of assets or entering into transactions generally without consideration or with substantially inadequate consideration, other than with respect to security interests which qualify as financial collateral under the Law of August 5, 2005 on Financial Collateral Arrangements) entered into during the suspect period (or the ten days preceding it) will be set aside or declared null and void, if so requested by the insolvency receiver;

 

 

pursuant to article 446 of the Luxembourg code of commerce, payments made for matured debts for considerations, as well as other transactions concluded during the suspect period, are subject to cancellation by the court upon proceedings instituted by the insolvency receiver if they were concluded with the knowledge of the bankrupt’s cessation of payments; and

 

 

regardless of the suspect period, article 448 of the Luxembourg code of commerce and article 1167 of the Luxembourg civil code (action paulienne) give any creditor the right to challenge any fraudulent payments and transactions made prior to the bankruptcy.

After having converted all available assets of the relevant Luxembourg Obligor into cash and after having determined all such Luxembourg Obligor’s liabilities, the insolvency receiver will distribute the proceeds of the sale to the creditors further to their priority ranking as set forth by law, after deduction of the receiver fees and the bankruptcy administration costs.

Any international aspects of Luxembourg bankruptcy, controlled management and composition proceedings may be subject to the EU Regulation. Insolvency Proceedings may hence have a material adverse effect on obligations of Actavis SCS and Actavis Capital under the debt securities.

Registrations

The registration of the debt securities, the indenture, the guarantee and the transaction documents (and any document in connection therewith) with the Administration de l’Enregistrement et des Domaines in Luxembourg may be required in the case of legal proceedings before Luxembourg courts or in the case that the debt securities, the indenture, the guarantees and the transaction documents (and any document in connection therewith) must be produced before an official Luxembourg authority (autorité constituée). In such case, either a nominal registration duty or an ad valorem duty (or, for instance, 0.24% of the amount of the payment obligation mentioned in the document so registered) will be payable depending on the nature of the document to be registered.

The Luxembourg courts or the official Luxembourg authority may require that the debt securities, the security interest agreements, the indentures, the guarantees and the transaction documents (and any document in connection therewith) and any judgment obtained in a foreign court be translated into French or German.

Enforcement of judgments

Although there is no treaty between Luxembourg and the United States regarding the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments (other than arbitration awards rendered in civil and commercial matters), a valid, final and conclusive judgment against the Luxembourg Obligors obtained from a state or federal court of the United States, which judgment remains in full force and effect, may be enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg, subject to compliance with the enforcement procedures set forth in Article 678 et seq. of the Luxembourg new code of civil procedure, being:

 

 

the foreign court must properly have had jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter, both according to its own laws and to the Luxembourg international private law conflict of jurisdiction rules;

 

 

the foreign court must have applied the law which is designated by the Luxembourg conflict of laws rules or, at least, the order must not contravene the principles underlying those rules (although some first instance decisions rendered in Luxembourg—which have not been confirmed by the Court of Appeal—no longer apply this condition);

 

 

the decision of the foreign court must be final and enforceable (exécutoire) in the jurisdiction in which it was rendered;

 

 

the decision of the foreign court must not have been obtained by fraud, but in compliance with the rights of the defendant and in compliance with its own procedural laws; and

 

 

the decisions and the considerations of the foreign court must not be contrary to Luxembourg international public policy rules or have been given in proceedings of a tax, penal or criminal nature (which would include awards of damages made under civil liabilities provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, or other laws, to the extent that the same would be classified by Luxembourg courts as being of a penal or punitive nature (for example, fines or punitive damages)) or rendered subsequent to an evasion of Luxembourg law (fraude à la loi). Ordinarily an award of monetary damages would not be considered as a penalty, but if the monetary damages include punitive damages such punitive damages may be considered as a penalty).

If an original action is brought in Luxembourg, without prejudice to specific conflict of law rules, Luxembourg courts may refuse to apply the designated law (i) if the choice of such foreign law was not made bona fide or (ii) if the foreign law was not pleaded and proved or (iii) if pleaded and proved, such foreign law was contrary to mandatory Luxembourg laws or incompatible with Luxembourg public policy rules. In an action brought in Luxembourg on the basis of U.S. federal or state securities laws, Luxembourg courts may not have the requisite power to grant the remedies sought.

In practice, Luxembourg courts tend not to review the merits of a foreign judgment, although there is no clear statutory prohibition of such review.

Guarantees

The granting of guarantee interests by a Luxembourg company is subject to specific limitations and requirements relating to corporate object and corporate benefit and corporate authority. The granting of guarantees interests by a company incorporated and existing in The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg must not be prohibited by the corporate object (objet social) or legal form of that company. In addition, there is also a requirement according to which the granting of security by a company has to be for its “corporate benefit”.

Although no statutory definition of corporate benefit (intérêt social) exists under Luxembourg law, corporate benefit is widely interpreted and includes any transactions from which the company derives a direct or indirect

 

55


Table of Contents

economic or commercial benefit, but the proposed action by the company must be “in the corporate interest of the company.” The provision of a guarantee/security interest for the obligations of direct or indirect subsidiaries is likely to raise no particular concerns, whereas the provision of cross-stream and upstream guarantees/security interests may be more problematic. Failure to comply with the above mentioned corporate benefit requirement will typically result in liability for the directors/managers of the relevant Luxembourg company. The question whether a guarantee granted in the absence of corporate interest could be held null and void is unsettled in applicable legal doctrine. While some authors express the view that an absence of corporate interest could give rise to liability of the directors/managers of the relevant company only, others consider that the consequences could be that the relevant obligations be null and void.

There is a risk that the directors/managers of a Luxembourg company will be held liable if, among other things:

 

(i)   the guarantee/security interest so provided would materially exceed the (direct or indirect) benefit deriving from the secured obligations for the Luxembourg company; or

 

(ii)   the Luxembourg company derives no personal benefit or obtains no direct or indirect consideration for the guarantee/security interest granted; or

 

(iii)   the commitment of the Luxembourg company exceeds its financial means.

In addition to any criminal and civil liability incurred by the managers of the Luxembourg company, a guarantee/security interest provided by a Luxembourg company could be held unenforceable, if it is held that it is contrary to public policy (ordre public) (in case of facts consisting a misuse of corporate assets).

The above analysis is slightly different within a group of companies where a group interest (intérêt de groupe) exists. The existence of a group interest could prevent a “cross-stream” or “up-stream” guarantee/security interest provided by a Luxembourg company from falling foul of the above constraints. In order for a group interest to be recognized, the following cumulative criteria must be met and proven:

 

(i)   the “assisting” company must receive some benefit, or there must be a balance between the respective commitments of all the affiliates;

 

(ii)   the financial assistance must not exceed the assisting company’s financial means, in which case it is typical for the guarantee to be limited to an aggregate amount not exceeding a certain percentage of the assisting company’s own funds (capitaux propres); and

 

(iii)   the companies involved must form part of a genuine group operating under a common strategy aimed at a common objective.

As a result, the “up-stream” or “cross-stream” guarantees/security interests granted by a Luxembourg company may be subject to certain limitations, which usually take the form of a general limitation language, which is inserted in the relevant finance document(s) and which covers the aggregate obligations and exposure of the relevant Luxembourg assisting company under all finance documents.

Item 15. Indemnification of directors and officers

Actavis plc

Actavis plc’s articles of association confer an indemnity on its directors and Secretary subject to the limitations prescribed by the Irish Companies Acts. Broadly, the relevant provisions in Actavis’ articles of association provide for an indemnity for certain persons, including directors, the Secretary, persons holding executive or official positions with Actavis and employees, agents and persons acting in certain other capacities at the request of Actavis (“Indemnified Persons”) who are a party to actions, suits or proceedings against expenses and costs in connection with such actions, suits or proceedings if such Indemnified Person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Actavis. Indemnification is also excluded in circumstances where an Indemnified Person is adjudged liable for willful neglect or default in performance of his duties unless a relevant court determines otherwise. Such indemnification may include expense advancement in certain circumstances.

The Irish Companies Acts prescribe that an advance commitment to indemnify only permits a company to pay the costs or discharge the liability of a director or secretary where judgment is given in favor of the director or secretary in any civil or criminal action in respect of such costs or liability, or where an Irish court grants relief because the director or secretary acted honestly and reasonably and ought fairly to be excused. Any provision whereby an Irish company seeks to commit in advance to indemnify its directors or secretary over and above the limitations imposed by the Irish Companies Acts will be void, whether contained in its articles of association or any contract between the company and the director or secretary. This restriction does not apply to executives who are not directors or the secretary, or other persons who would not be considered “officers” within the meaning of that term under the Irish Companies Acts, of Actavis.

Each of Actavis’ current directors, officers and the Secretary are party to individual indemnification agreements that provide for the indemnification of any claims relating to their services to Actavis or any of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.


Table of Contents

Actavis also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in the performance of their duties.

Any underwriting agreement which may be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or incorporated herein by reference to documents to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of Actavis and its directors and officers, and by Actavis of the underwriters, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with any offering.

Warner Chilcott Limited

Section 98 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended, (the “Bermuda Companies Act”) provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favour or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Warner Chilcott Limited has adopted provisions in its bye-laws that provide that it shall indemnify its officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty.

Warner Chilcott Limited’s bye-laws provide that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they might have, individually or in right of the company, against any of the company’s directors or officers for any act or failure to act in the performance of such director’s or officer’s duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or officer. Section 98A of the Bermuda Companies Act permits Warner Chilcott Limited to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not Warner Chilcott Limited may otherwise indemnify such officer or director.

Any underwriting agreement which may be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or incorporated herein by reference to documents to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of Warner Chilcott Limited and its directors and officers, and by Warner Chilcott Limited of the underwriters, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with any offering.

Actavis Capital S.à r.l. and Actavis Funding SCS

There are no indemnification rights under the articles of association or under any contractual arrangement between the directors or managers and Actavis Funding SCS, its general partner or Actavis Capital S.à r.l.

Any underwriting agreement which may be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or incorporated herein by reference to documents to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of Actavis Capital S.à.r.l. and Actavis Funding SCS and their respective directors and officers, and by Actavis Capital S.à.r.l. and Actavis Funding SCS of the underwriters, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with any offering.

Actavis, Inc.

Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Nevada Law”) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if he acted in accordance with the standards set forth above, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 78.7502 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2) of Section 78.7502, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit.

Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Additionally, a right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the articles of incorporation or any bylaw is not eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred. Actavis Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws require Actavis Inc. to make such payment of expenses in advance upon receipt of such an undertaking and do not contain a statement that indemnification can be eliminated or impaired as to a director or officer by an amendment after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the action.

Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law requires a corporation to obtain a determination that any discretionary indemnification is proper under the circumstances. Such a determination must be made by the corporation’s stockholders; its board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to

Table of Contents

the action, suit or proceeding; or under certain circumstances by independent legal counsel. Section 78.751 also provides that the indemnification provided for by Section 78.7502 and the advancement of expenses authorized pursuant to Section 78.751 shall not be deemed exclusive or exclude any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502, may not be made on or behalf of any officer or director if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action for which indemnification is sought. The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses shall continue as to directors, officers, employees or agents who have ceased to hold such positions, and to the benefit of their heirs, executors and administrators, unless the provision then in effect at the time of the act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after the act or omission has occurred.

Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities and expenses.

Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Law provides that, with certain exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Actavis Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation contain a similar provision.

Actavis, Inc. has provided for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of the Nevada Law in its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Actavis, Inc. also provides liability insurance for each director and officer for certain losses arising from claims or charges made against them while acting in their capacities as directors or officers.

Any underwriting agreement which may be filed as an exhibit to a post-effective amendment to this registration statement or incorporated herein by reference to documents to be filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act may provide for indemnification by the underwriters of Actavis, Inc. and its directors and officers, and by Actavis, Inc. of the underwriters, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with any offering.

Item 16. Exhibits

A list of exhibits filed with the registration statement on Form S-3 is set forth in the Exhibit Index and is incorporated into this Item 16 by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,

Table of Contents

represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of a Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless

 

II-5


Table of Contents

of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of an undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by an undersigned Registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about an undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of an undersigned Registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by an undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that each Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company shall treat the person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Depositary (or its nominee) and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if the requirements for such transactions set forth herein are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request.

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 3.11, 7.06 or 9.06). No service charge to any Holder shall be made for any such transaction.

The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities of any series for a period of 15 days preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities of the series to be redeemed, or (b) any Securities of any series selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security of any series where public notice has been given that such Security is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

 

16


The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

SECTION 3.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) Each Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 3.06.

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor and any agent of the Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders of any series of Securities and all payments to be made to such Holders under such Securities shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee, the Company and each Guarantor and any agent of the Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor and any agent of the Company, the Trustee and each Guarantor, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security.

(b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary for such series, its successors or their respective nominees. The Company may at any time, in its sole discretion, determine that the Securities of a series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Securities. In such event, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series of like tenor and terms will authenticate and deliver, such Securities in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities subject to such determination by the Company, in exchange for such Global Security or Securities of like tenor and terms. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.

In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security, if (i) the Depositary (A) notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (B) ceases to be qualified to serve as Depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so transferable, registrable and exchangeable for Physical Securities, and such transfers shall be registrable, or (iii) an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual notice has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from a beneficial owner to issue such Physical Securities.

 

17


(c) Any beneficial interest in a Global Security that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security representing securities of the same series will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in such other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest.

(d) In connection with any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interests in a Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.08, the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in such Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

(e) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner thereof identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

(f) The Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such series.

(g) Neither the Company, the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary or with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof.

SECTION 3.09. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

(a) In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any Officer of the Company and delivery to the Trustee of all documents and certificates as required by this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, a new Security of the same series bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so apparently destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee (i) such security or indemnity as may be required by each of them to indemnify and defend and to hold each of them harmless from all risks associated therewith, and (ii) (A) in the case of mutilation or defacement, such mutilated or defaced Security, or (B) in the case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

(b) Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption in full, shall become mutilated or defaced or be apparently destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security of the same series, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee (i) such security or indemnity as any of them may require to hold each of them harmless from all risks,

 

18


however remote, associated therewith, and (A) in the case of mutilation or defacement, such mutilated or defaced Security, or (B) in the case of apparent destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the apparent destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

(c) Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security is apparently destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, with respect to the holder of a substitute Security, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced, or apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

SECTION 3.10. Cancellation of Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities (and such Securities shall not cease to be outstanding) unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 3.11. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery temporary Securities of such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities of such series without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series for any temporary Securities of such series and thereupon such temporary Securities may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for the purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, and upon delivery to the Trustee of all documents and certificates as required by this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

SECTION 3.12. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. The Company, in issuing the Securities of any series, may use a “CUSIP” and “ISIN” number (if then generally in use) with respect to such series, and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such series; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the

 

19


correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers or ISIN numbers.

SECTION 3.13. Treasury Securities. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any Guarantors, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

SECTION 3.14. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities, and the Company shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act § 312(a).

SECTION 4.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest on Securities. The Company, for the benefit of each series of the Securities, will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.

SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, a Payment Office where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee at its office or agency as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

 

20


The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION 4.03. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust. (a) If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to so act.

(b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, prior to each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Securities of such series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

(c) The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities (other than the Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.03, that such Paying Agent shall (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent; (ii) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Holders until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided; (iii) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series; and (iv) during the continuance of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of such series, and upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of such series.

(d) The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent will be released from all further liability with respect to such money.

(e) Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable will be paid to the Company upon a Company Order (or, if then held by the Company, will be discharged from such

 

21


trust); and the Holder of such Security will thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money will thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may transmit by mail to the Holder of such Securities, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 calendar days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 4.04. Reports. Intermediate Parent covenants:

(a) to file with the Trustee, within 30 days after Intermediate Parent is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Intermediate Parent may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided that availability of such reports on a website maintained by the Commission shall be deemed to fulfill this requirement or, if at any time Intermediate Parent is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, in respect of a debt security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

(b) to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance by Intermediate Parent with the conditions and covenants of the indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and

(c) to transmit to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(c), such summaries of any information, documents and reports (if not publicly filed on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system or on such other publicly available electronic filing medium as may be established by the Commission) required to be filed by Intermediate Parent pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 4.04 as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Intermediate Parent’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

If at any time Actavis plc (or a successor thereto) is the direct or indirect parent company of Intermediate Parent, then the reports, information and other documents required to be furnished to Holders of the Securities pursuant to this covenant may, at the option of the Company, be furnished by and be those of Actavis plc (or its successor) rather than Intermediate Parent; provided that a reasonably detailed description of any material differences between Actavis plc’s financial information and Intermediate Parent’s financial information will be provided in each such annual and quarterly report. Any report required to be furnished under this covenant will be deemed furnished upon public filing thereof with the Commission.

SECTION 4.05. Compliance Certificate.

(a) The Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust Indenture Act) shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the first date any series of Securities issued under this Indenture is outstanding, an Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

(b) The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, within 5 days upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Company shall pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

SECTION 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

Intermediate Parent will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause to become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any property or assets, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness of Intermediate Parent, its Subsidiaries or any indebtedness of any other Person, unless Intermediate Parent or such Subsidiary also secures all payments due under this Indenture, the Securities and the Security Guarantees, on an equal and ratable basis with such other indebtedness so secured (or, in the case of indebtedness subordinated to the Securities or the Security Guarantees, prior or senior thereto, with the same relative priority as the Securities and the Security Guarantees, will have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) for so long as such other indebtedness shall be so secured, except the foregoing restriction shall not apply to (“Permitted Liens”):

(a) with respect to any particular series of Securities, Liens existing on the date of first issuance of such Securities;

For so long as any series of Securities are outstanding, no Subsidiary of Actavis plc that, directly or indirectly through any other Subsidiary, owns any Equity Interests in Intermediate Parent (other than any such Subsidiary of Actavis plc that fully and unconditionally guarantees the Securities) will and, unless Actavis plc provides a guarantee of the Securities, Actavis plc (each such Subsidiary and, as long as applicable, Actavis plc, the “Passive Holding Companies”) will not, conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any active trade or business or operations other than through a Subsidiary of Intermediate Parent; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit any Passive Holding Company from the following: (i) ownership of Equity Interests of Intermediate Parent or in one or more Subsidiaries of Actavis plc that are Passive Holding Companies, (ii) the maintenance of its legal existence and, with respect to Actavis plc, its status as a public company (including the ability to incur fees, costs and expenses relating to such maintenance), (iii) the performance of its obligations with respect to any indebtedness in respect of which it is an obligor and any other agreement to which it is a party, (iv) with respect to Actavis plc, any offering of its common stock or any other Equity Interests (including any mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and any equity-linked securities) or, with respect to any Passive Holding Company other than Actavis plc, any other issuance of its Equity Interests, (v) the making of payments on account of its Equity Interests or any subordinated debt, (vi) the incurrence of indebtedness, (vii) the making of contributions to (or other equity investments in) the capital of its direct Subsidiaries (which will be Passive Holding Companies or Intermediate Parent), (viii) the creation of, and ownership of the Equity Interests in, any newly formed Subsidiary with capitalization of less than $1,000,000 that is formed solely for the purpose of consummating an acquisition by Actavis plc so long as, within twelve months such newly formed Subsidiary merges with and into a target entity and the survivor thereof becomes a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Intermediate Parent or its Subsidiaries, (ix) providing a guarantee of indebtedness or other obligations of Actavis plc or its Subsidiaries, (x) participating in tax, accounting and other administrative matters as a member or parent of the consolidated group, (xi) holding any cash or cash equivalents (including cash and cash equivalents received in connection with dividends or distributions from Intermediate Parent or its Subsidiaries) and any other assets on a temporary basis that are in the process of being transferred through such Passive Holding Company as part of a downstream contribution or an upstream distribution or other upstream payment (e.g., a spin-off of assets), (xii) providing indemnification to officers and directors, (xiii) the ownership or disposition of assets that are permitted to be held by it in accordance with this Section 4.09 and (xiv) activities incidental to the businesses or activities described above.

(a) Intermediate Parent or such Subsidiary could incur indebtedness, in a principal amount at least equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, secured by a Lien on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the Securities and the Security Guarantees) because such Lien would be of a character that no violation of the covenant described under Section 4.08 would result; or

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to any series of Securities, unless the Company has redeemed the relevant series of Securities in full, the Company shall make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of such Securities to repurchase any and all (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s Securities at a repurchase price set forth in this Section 4.11. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities to be repurchased up to, but excluding, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of the relevant Securities with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 15 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”).

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date with respect to any series of Securities, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

(i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of Securities of such series properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time, deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of Securities of such series properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of such series properly accepted, together with an Officer’s Certificate stating (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Securities or portions of such Securities being repurchased, (2) that all conditions precedent contained herein to make a Change of Control Offer have been complied with and (3) that the Change of Control Offer has been made in compliance with this Indenture.

The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as possible after the date of purchase.

(c) The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue of any such conflict. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

SECTION 4.12. Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (a) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on outstanding Securities as of the end of such year and (b) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the “Code”).

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 5.01. Events of Default. The term “Event of Default” with respect to Securities of any series, wherever used herein, means any one of the following events:

(a) Default in the payment of the principal or any premium on the Securities of such series when due (whether at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise).

(b) Default for 30 days in the payment of any interest on the Securities of such series when due.

(c) Failure by the Company or any Guarantor to comply with the provisions set forth in Section 4.11.

(d) Failure by the Company or any Guarantor, as applicable, to observe or perform any other term of this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement in respect of which such non-compliance would otherwise be an Event of Default) for a period of 60 days after the Company receives a notice of default stating that the Company is in breach. The notice must be sent by either the Trustee or Holders of 25% of the principal amount of the Securities of the affected series.

(e) Default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness of Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any Guarantor), whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Issue Date of such series of Securities, if that default:

(i) is caused by a failure to make any payment when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise, and after giving effect to applicable grace periods) of such indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or

(ii) results in the acceleration of such indebtedness prior to its scheduled maturity,

and, in each case, the amount of any such indebtedness, together with the amount of any other indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $300.0 million or more; provided, however, that, if the default under the mortgage, indenture or instrument is cured by the Company or the applicable Guarantor, or waived by the holders of the indebtedness, in each case as permitted by the governing mortgage, indenture or instrument, then the Event of Default caused by such default will be deemed likewise to be cured or waived.

(f) Failure by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. to pay or discharge any final judgment or order (to the extent any such judgment or order is not paid or covered by insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) aggregating in excess of $300.0 million which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days.

 

27


(g) Except as permitted by this Indenture, any Security Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Security Guarantee.

(h) The entry by a court having competent jurisdiction of:

(i) a decree or order for relief in respect of Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

(i) The commencement by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. of a voluntary proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of a voluntary proceeding seeking to be adjudicated insolvent or the consent by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. because of such insolvency or relief under any applicable law relating to the insolvency, or the consent by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or similar official of Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. or the making by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc. in furtherance of any such action.

SECTION 5.02. Acceleration. In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 5.01 hereof, with respect to Intermediate Parent, Actavis Capital, the Company or Actavis, Inc., all outstanding Securities will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the affected series may declare all the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately.

Upon any such declaration, the Securities of such series shall become due and payable immediately.

 

28


The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the affected series may, by written notice to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series, rescind an acceleration and its consequences hereunder, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and if all existing Events of Default (except for nonpayment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of the affected series that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

SECTION 5.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of the affected series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities of such series or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities of an affected series or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of an affected Security in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 5.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series then outstanding may, by written notice to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal amount of or premium, if any, or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Security of such series or, in the case of the Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable, in the payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of the Securities of such series (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration in accordance with Section 5.02. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION 5.05. Control by Majority. With respect to the Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of such series or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 5.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of a Security of any series may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities of such series unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

 

29


(c) such Holder or Holders offer and provide to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense resulting therefrom;

(d) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) during such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request.

A Holder of a Security may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Security or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Security provided that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any action or forbearance on the part of a Holder of a Security is unduly preferential or prejudicial to any other Holder of a Security.

SECTION 5.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal (whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption (if applicable), upon any required repurchase by the Company (if applicable) or otherwise) of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Security or, if applicable, payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of any Security, in each case, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

SECTION 5.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 5.01 occurs and is continuing with respect to any particular series of Securities, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on any Securities of such series and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

SECTION 5.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders of any applicable series of Securities allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon such Securities), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 5.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to a particular series of Securities, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 6.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of such collection;

Second: to Holders of such Securities for amounts due and unpaid on Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such series for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 5.10.

SECTION 5.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of Securities of an affected series pursuant to Section 5.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of any series.

SECTION 6.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or Securities of any series, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities of any series or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in Securities of any series or any other document in connection with the sale of Securities of any series or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 6.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any series and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Securities of such series a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series relating to the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or in the payment or delivery of any consideration due upon conversion or exchange of any Security of such series (if applicable), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series.

SECTION 6.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders of the Securities. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the Issue Date of Securities of any series, and for so long as Securities of such series remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of Securities of such series a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) (but if no event described in the Trust Indenture Act § 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(b). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by the Trust Indenture Act § 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Securities of such series shall be mailed to the Company and filed with the Commission and each stock exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed in accordance with the Trust Indenture Act § 313(d). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

SECTION 6.07. Compensation and Indemnity.

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

34


The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of each series on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on any particular Securities. Such lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(h) or (i) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The provisions of this Section 6.07 shall survive termination of this Indenture. The Trustee shall comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

SECTION 6.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 6.08.

The Trustee may resign in writing at any time with regard to Securities of one or more series and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee with respect to such series of Securities by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with regard to Securities of one or more series if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason with regard to Securities of one or more series, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of the affected series at the time outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

35


If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 6.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07.

SECTION 6.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

SECTION 6.10. Eligibility; Disqualification.

This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act § 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to the Trust Indenture Act § 310(b); provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(i) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Trust Indenture Act § 310(b)(i) are met.

SECTION 6.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee is subject to the Trust Indenture Act § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in the Trust Indenture Act § 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to the Trust Indenture Act § 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities then outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 7.02.

 

38


SECTION 7.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this Section 7.02, with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series then outstanding affected by such supplemental indenture voting as one class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with the purchase of, or tender or exchange offers for, the Securities of such series), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate), the Guarantors and the Trustee may, from time to time and at any time, amend this Indenture or any Security Guarantee or enter into one or more supplemental indentures (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of any Security Guarantee or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; and, subject to Sections 5.04 and 5.07, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than an uncured Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of any series, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) and compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities or the Security Guarantees of any series may be waived as to such series of Securities with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such series affected by such waiver, voting as one class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, the Securities of such series); provided, however, that without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section 7.02 may not (but only with respect to any Securities of any series held by a non-consenting Holder):

(a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of or any installment of principal or interest on Securities of any series;

(b) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on or any premium payable upon the redemption of the Securities of any series;

(c) reduce the rate of interest, including defaulted interest, on the Securities of any series;

(g) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on Securities of any series when due;

(h) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture; or

 

39


(i) modify any of the provisions of this Section 7.02, Section 5.04 or Section 7.05 except to increase the percentage in principal amount of outstanding notes required to take action under any such Section or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause (i) will not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 7.02, Section 5.04 and Section 7.05, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.08.

The rights of Holders of the Securities of any series affected by any modification or amendment implemented in accordance with the terms hereof shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such amendment, waiver or the applicable supplemental indenture with respect thereto shall be and shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution (which resolution may provide general terms or parameters for such action and may provide that the specific terms of such action may be determined in accordance with or pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate) authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders of the Securities of any series as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may at its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities of any series under this Section 7.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.02, the Company (or the Trustee at the request and expense of the Company) shall give notice thereof (including a brief description of such supplemental indenture) to the Holders of the then outstanding Securities of any series affected thereby, as provided in Section 14.02. Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 7.03. Effect of Supplemental Indenture, Waiver or Amendment. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, or any amendment to or waiver of the provisions of this Indenture, this Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver shall be and shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 7.04. Conformity with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities of any series shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article that shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect if this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

40


SECTION 7.05. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, or condition set forth in this Indenture or any applicable supplemental indenture, with respect to the Securities of any series, if the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series shall, by written notice on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision, or condition in accordance with Article 7 and Section 5.04, but no such waiver will extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision, or condition will remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 7.06. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 may bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture or as to any action taken by the Holders of Securities of any series. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of such series then outstanding.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

SECTION 7.07. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, waiver or a supplemental indenture becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Security and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder of a Security or subsequent Holder of a Security may revoke the consent as to its Security if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture becomes effective. Any amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture that becomes effective in accordance with its terms thereafter binds every Holder of the Securities of the series affected thereby (other than as provided in Section 7.02).

SECTION 7.08. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 7 if the amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with and (subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.06, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture or any relevant supplemental indenture and that such amended or supplemented indenture is the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing provisions will apply mutatis mutandis to the laws and official positions of any jurisdiction in which any successor permitted under Article 8 hereof is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

Prior to the giving of any notice of redemption described in the preceding paragraph, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the Payor cannot avoid its obligation to pay Additional Amounts by taking reasonable measures available to it. The Company will also deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Payor would be obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a change, amendment, or introduction described above. Absent manifest error, the Trustee will accept such opinion as sufficient evidence of the Payor’s obligations, to pay such Additional Amounts, and it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders.

ARTICLE 10

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

SECTION 10.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. Unless pursuant to Section 3.01 provision is made for the inapplicability of either or both of (a) defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 10.02 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 10.03, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article 10, shall be applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution, at any time, elect to have either Section 10.02 or 10.03 be applied to all outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 10.

 

45


SECTION 10.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to defease the outstanding Securities of a particular series under this Section 10.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Securities of such series (including the Security Guarantees with respect thereto) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of such series (including the Security Guarantees), which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 10.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities, the Security Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments provided to it acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of such series to receive payments in respect of the principal amount of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 10.04;

(b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.06, 3.07, 3.08(a), 3.09, 3.11, 4.02, 4.03 and 6.07;

(c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(d) this Article 10.

Subject to compliance with this Article 10, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 10.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 10.03 with respect to the Securities of such series.

SECTION 10.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to obtain a covenant defeasance with respect to the outstanding Securities of a particular series under this Section 10.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.04, 4.06 and 4.11 and the covenants contained in any supplemental indenture applicable to such series, with respect to the outstanding Securities of such series on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 10.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities and Security Guarantees of such series, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01 with respect to outstanding Securities of such series, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and the other terms of the Securities and Security Guarantees of such series shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 10.01 of the option applicable to this Section 10.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 10.04, Sections 5.01(h) and 5.01(i) shall not constitute Events of Default.

 

46


SECTION 10.04. Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 to the outstanding Securities of a particular series:

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of such series of Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such series of outstanding Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether such series of Securities are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(b) in the case of an election under Section 10.02, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:

(i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(ii) since the Issue Date of the Securities of the applicable series, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(c) in the case of an election under Section 10.03, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit (and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other indebtedness), and the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture and the agreements governing any other indebtedness being defeased, discharged or replaced) to which the Company or any of the Guarantors is a party or by which the Company or any of the Guarantors is bound;

(f) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities over the other creditors of the Company or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

 

47


(g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

SECTION 10.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 10.06, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 10.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 10.04 in respect of the outstanding Securities of a particular series shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 10.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Securities of such series.

Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 10.04 with respect to the Securities of any series which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of certified independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 10.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

SECTION 10.06. Repayment to the Company. Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION 10.07. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. Dollars or non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.02 or 10.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable defeased Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.02 or 10.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 10.02 or 10.03, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Security to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 11

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION 11.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities (except, as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities of such series herein expressly provided for or in the form of Security for such series and any rights to receive payment of interest thereon), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:

(a) either

(i) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid, and Securities for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(ii) all Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank or appraisal firm, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for the principal amount and premium, if any, plus accrued interest, if any, on all such Securities; and

(b) in respect of subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and any similar deposit relating to other indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) with respect to such Securities has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other indebtedness, and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings); and

(c) the Company or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable under this Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture with respect to such Securities; and

(d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of such Securities at Stated Maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.

 

49


In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate (or equivalent thereof) and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.03, Section 10.06 and Section 11.02 shall survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 shall be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 6.07, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

SECTION 11.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.03 and Section 10.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Company has made any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on Securities of such series because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12

SECURITY GUARANTEES

SECTION 12.01. Security Guarantee.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee 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, if any, on the Securities will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will 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 will 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.

 

50


Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will 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 are 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 of the Securities 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 covenant that this Security Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture.

(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 either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Security Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further 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 Article 6 hereof 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 Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Security Guarantee. The Guarantors will 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 Guarantee.

SECTION 12.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

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 Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law 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 such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that 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 12, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Security Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

51


SECTION 12.03. Releases.

Upon Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with Article 10 hereof or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 11 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Security Guarantee.

Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Security Guarantee as provided in this Section 12.03 will remain liable for the full amount of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 12.

ARTICLE 13

ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS

SECTION 13.01. Additional Amounts. (a) All payments required to be made by the Company under or with respect to the Securities or by any Guarantor under or with respect to a Security Guarantee (each of the Company or such Guarantor and, in each case, any successor thereof, making such payment, the “Payor”), will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of any authority or agency having power to tax within any jurisdiction in which any Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes, or engaged in business for tax purposes, or any jurisdiction from or through which payment is made by or on behalf of such Payor (each a “Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such Payor is required to withhold or deduct such taxes by law or regulation.

(b) If a Payor is so required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of taxes imposed or levied by or on behalf of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction from any payment made under or with respect to the Securities or a Security Guarantee, as applicable, such Payor will be required to pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by any holder (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will not be less than the amount the holder or beneficial owner would have received if such taxes had not been withheld or deducted; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts does not apply to:

(i) any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) so imposed, withheld, deducted or levied but for the existence of any present or former connection between the relevant holder or beneficial owner (or between a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, partner, member or shareholder of, or possessor of power over, the relevant holder or beneficial owner, if the relevant holder or beneficial owner is an estate, nominee, trust, partnership, company or corporation) and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, including, without limitation, such holder or beneficial owner being or having been a citizen, domiciliary, national or resident thereof, or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or having or having had a permanent establishment therein (other than any connection arising solely from the acquisition or holding of any Security, the receipt of any payments in respect of such Security or Security Guarantee or the exercise or enforcement of rights under a Security Guarantee);

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property or similar tax or assessment;

(iii) any taxes which are payable other than by withholding or deduction from payments made under or with respect to the Securities or any Security Guarantee;

 

52


(iv) any taxes that would not have been (or would not be required to be) imposed, withheld, deducted or levied if such holder or the beneficial owner of any Security or interest therein (i) complied with all reasonable written requests by the Payor (made at a time that would enable the holder or beneficial owner acting reasonably to comply with such request) to provide timely and accurate information or documentation concerning the nationality, residence or identity of such holder or beneficial owner or (ii) made any declaration or similar claim or satisfied any certification, information or reporting requirement, which in the case of (i) or (ii), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of withholding or deduction of, all or part of such taxes;

(v) any taxes withheld, deducted or imposed on a payment required to be made pursuant to the European Council Directive 2003/48/ EC on taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments or any other directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN (European Union Economic and Finance Ministers) Council Meeting of November 26 and 27, 2000 on the taxation of savings income in the form of interest payments which was adopted by the ECOFIN Council on 3 June 2003, or pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, such Directive or any agreement entered into by a new European Union Member State with (i) any other state or (ii) any relevant dependent or associated territory of any European Union Member State providing for measures equivalent to or the same as those provided for by such Directive;

(vi) any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a Security presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder or beneficial owner who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Security to another paying agent in a member state of the European Union;

(vii) any taxes imposed or withheld on or with respect to a payment which could have been made without deduction or withholding if the beneficiary of the payment had presented the Security for payment (where presentation is required) within 30 days after the date on which such payment or such Security 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 or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts had the Security been presented on any day during the 30-day period);

(viii) any taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made under or with respect to such Security or Security Guarantee to any holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or any Person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a member of such a partnership or the beneficial owner of such payment would not have been entitled to the Additional Amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, member or beneficial owner been the actual holder of such Security;

(ix) any taxes payable under Sections 1471-1474 of the Code as of the Issue Date of the Securities (or any amended or successor version), any regulations or official interpretations thereof, any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith, or any law or regulation adopted pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement between a non-U.S. jurisdiction and the United States with respect to the foregoing or any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code;

(x) any taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or

 

53


(xi) any taxes imposed or levied by reason of any combination of clauses (i) through (x) above.

(c) The Payor will pay any present or future stamp, issue, registration, excise, property, court or documentary taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies and interest, penalties and other reasonable expenses related thereto that arise in or are levied by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction on the execution, issuance, delivery, enforcement or registration of the Securities, this Indenture, the Security Guarantees or any other document or instrument in relation thereto (other than on a transfer or assignment of the Securities of any series after the offering thereof).

(d) The Payor will make or cause to be made any withholding or deduction required in respect of taxes, and remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, in accordance with applicable law. Upon request, the Payor will use reasonable efforts to provide, within a reasonable time after the date the payment of any such taxes so deducted or withheld is made, the Trustee with official receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of the taxes so deducted or withheld.

(e) If any Payor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts under or with respect to any payment made on the Securities, the Payor will deliver to the Paying Agent with a copy to the trustee on a date that is at least 30 days prior to the date of that payment (unless the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises after the 45th day prior to that payment date, in which case the Payor shall notify the Paying Agent and the Trustee promptly thereafter) a certificate stating the fact that Additional Amounts will be payable and the amount estimated to be so payable and such other information reasonably necessary to enable the Paying Agent to pay Additional Amounts to holders or beneficial owners on the relevant payment date.

(f) Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context:

(1) the payment of principal;

(2) the payment of interest; or

(3) any other amount payable on or with respect to any of the Securities,

such reference will be deemed to include payment of Additional Amounts as described under this Article 13 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.

(g) The obligations set forth in this Article 13 shall survive any termination, defeasance or discharge of this Indenture or any Security Guarantee and will apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Payor is incorporated, organized or otherwise resident for tax purposes or any political subdivision or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

If a notice or communication is mailed in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it is duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.

If the Company mails a notice or communication to Holders, it shall mail a copy to the Trustee and each Agent at the same time.

SECTION 14.03. Acts of Holders, Record Dates.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of the outstanding Securities of any series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing, and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

The ownership of the Securities shall be proved by the Register.

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided, however, that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by

 

56


Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 14.02.

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.02, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.03 or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.05, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 14.02.

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided, however, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 14.02, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Securities may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Securities or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.

SECTION 14.04. Communication by Holders with Other Holders. Holders may communicate pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act § 312(b) with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or the Securities of any series. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar and anyone else shall have the protection of the Trust Indenture Act § 312(c).

 

57


SECTION 14.05. Judgment Currency.

Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

Dear Sirs

  1.1 We are acting as Irish counsel to Actavis plc, a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of Ireland, company number 527629, with its registered office at 1 Grand Canal Square, Docklands, Dublin 2, Ireland (the “Company”) in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on 19 February 2015 (the “Registration Statement”). We refer, in particular, to the ordinary shares of US$0.0001 par value and the mandatory convertible preferred shares of US$0.0001 par value of the Company (the “Shares”) that may be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

  1.2 This Opinion is confined to and given in all respects on the basis of the laws of Ireland (meaning Ireland exclusive of Northern Ireland) in force as at the date hereof as currently applied by the courts of Ireland.

  (c) in the Central Office of the High Court in Dublin for any proceedings and petitions filed in respect of the Company.

 

2. Opinion

Subject to the assumptions set out in this Opinion and to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

 

  2.1 the Company is a public company limited by shares, is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Ireland and has the requisite corporate authority to issue the Shares; and

 

  2.2 when the Shares are issued and allotted pursuant to duly adopted resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (including resolutions duly adopted by the board appointing a committee thereof for purposes of exercising the Company’s powers in respect of the allotment and issue of the Shares), the Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid up and non-assessable (which term means that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such Shares).

 

3. Assumptions

For the purpose of giving this Opinion, we assume the following without any responsibility on our part if any assumption proves to have been untrue as we have not verified independently any assumption:

 

  3.1 Registration Statement

 

  (a) that, when filed with the SEC, the Registration Statement will not differ in any material respect from the drafts that we have examined;

 

  (b) that any Shares issued under the Registration Statement will be in consideration of the receipt by the Company prior to the issue of the Shares pursuant thereto of cash at least equal to the par value of such Shares;

 

  (c) that the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC has been authorised by all necessary actions under all applicable laws other than Irish law;


Page 3

 

  (d) that, at the time of issue of the Shares, the authority of the Company and the directors of the Company to issue the Shares, as provided for in the articles of association of the Company and the Companies Acts 1963 to 2013 of Ireland (the “Companies Acts”), is in full force and effect;

  Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel to Actavis plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Ireland (the “Company”), and its subsidiary, Actavis Funding SCS, a common limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of Luxembourg (“Actavis SCS”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the registration statement on Form S-3 (excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”) of the Company, Actavis SCS and the guarantors listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Guarantors”), relating to the offering from time to time, together or separately and in one or more series (if applicable), of (i) debt securities issued by Actavis SCS (the “Debt Securities”); (ii) guarantees by the Guarantors of the Debt Securities (the “Guarantees”); (iii) ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”); (iv) serial preferred shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Serial Preferred Shares”); (v) fractional interests in a series of Serial Preferred Shares and that may be evidenced by depositary receipts (the “Depositary Shares”); (vi) warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Share Warrants”); (vii) contracts for the purchase or sale of Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Share

 

CLEARY GOTTLIEB STEEN & HAMILTON LLP OR AN AFFiLIATED ENTITY HAS AN OFFiCE IN EACH OF THE CITIES LISTED ABOVE.


Actavis plc, p. 2

 

Purchase Contracts”); and (viii) units consisting of one or more Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts and any one or more Debt Securities, Ordinary Shares, Serial Preferred Shares, Depositary Shares, Ordinary Share Warrants, or debt or equity obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, owned by the Company (the “Ordinary Share Purchase Units”). The Debt Securities, the Guarantees, the Ordinary Shares, the Serial Preferred Shares, the Depositary Shares, the Ordinary Share Warrants, the Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts and the Ordinary Share Purchase Units are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Securities.”

The Securities being registered under the Registration Statement will have an indeterminate aggregate initial offering price and will be offered on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

The Debt Securities and the Guarantees thereof are to be issued under an indenture (as amended or supplemented, the “Indenture”) to be entered into among Actavis SCS, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (or another trustee to be named therein) at or before the time of issuance of the Debt Securities. The Guarantees will be provided for in the Indenture.

The Depositary Shares are to be issued from time to time under one or more deposit agreements (each such deposit agreement, a “Deposit Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and a depositary to be named therein (the “Depositary”).

The Ordinary Share Warrants are to be issued from time to time under one or more warrant agreements (each such warrant agreement, an “Ordinary Share Warrant Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and a warrant agent to be named therein.

The Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts are to be issued from time to time under one or more purchase contract agreements (each such purchase contract agreement, an “Ordinary Share Purchase Contract Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and a purchase contract agent to be named therein.

The Ordinary Share Purchase Units are to be issued from time to time under one or more unit agreements (each such unit agreement, an “Ordinary Share Purchase Unit Agreement”) to be entered into between the Company and a unit agent to be named therein.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:

 

  (a) the Registration Statement and the documents incorporated by reference therein; and

 

  (b) the form of Indenture, including the form of Guarantee and form of Debt Security, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.


Actavis plc, p. 3

 

In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

 

  1. The Debt Securities will be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Actavis SCS, entitled to the benefits of the applicable Indenture.

 

  2. The Guarantees will be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the applicable Guarantor, entitled to the benefits of the applicable Indenture.

 

  3. The Depositary Shares to be sold by the Company, upon the due issuance by the Depositary of depositary receipts (including any master depositary receipt issued in connection therewith) evidencing such Depositary Shares against the deposit of Serial Preferred Shares in respect thereof in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Deposit Agreement, will be validly issued and the persons in whose names the depositary receipts are registered will be entitled to the rights specified therein and in the relevant Deposit Agreement.

 

  4. The Ordinary Share Warrants will be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company.

 

  5. The Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts will be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company.

 

  6. The Ordinary Share Purchase Units will be the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Company.

Insofar as the foregoing opinions relate to the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any agreement or obligation of the Company, Actavis SCS or the Guarantors (a) we have assumed that the Company, Actavis SCS, the Guarantors and each other party to such agreement or obligation has satisfied or, prior to the issuance of the Securities, will satisfy those legal and organizational requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make such agreement or obligation enforceable against it, (b) we have assumed that at the time of the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, any prior authorization thereof by the Company, Actavis SCS or any of the Guarantors will not have been modified or rescinded and there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Securities, (c) such opinions are subject to applicable bankruptcy,


Actavis plc, p. 4

 

insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and (d) such opinions are subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights.

In rendering the opinions expressed above, we have further assumed that (i) prior to the issuance of the Securities, the Company, Actavis SCS and each Guarantor, as applicable, will authorize the offering and issuance of the Securities and will duly authorize, approve and establish the final terms and conditions thereof, which terms will conform to the descriptions thereof in the Registration Statement and, in the case of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees, to the terms of the applicable Indenture, and will not violate any applicable law, conflict with any matter of public policy, result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company, Actavis SCS or the Guarantors or violate any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company, Actavis SCS or the Guarantors; (ii) prior to the issuance of the Securities, the Company or, in the case of Debt Securities, Actavis SCS and the Guarantors, will have duly authorized, executed and delivered any applicable Indenture, Deposit Agreement, Ordinary Share Warrant Agreement, Ordinary Share Purchase Contract Agreement, Ordinary Share Purchase Unit Agreement or other agreement necessary with respect to or governing the Securities or contemplated by such Securities, any agreement governing those Securities or the Registration Statement, and will take any other appropriate additional corporate action; (iii) the Securities and any agreements governing or receipts evidencing the Securities will be governed by New York law (including any relevant Deposit Agreement, Ordinary Share Warrant Agreement, Ordinary Share Purchase Contract Agreement, Ordinary Share Purchase Unit Agreement); (iv) with respect to the Debt Securities, the applicable Indenture will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto and qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; (v) the Securities will be offered, issued, sold and delivered in compliance with applicable law and any requirements therefor set forth in any corporate action authorizing such Securities and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement and the related prospectus describing the Securities and the offering thereof; and (vi) the Securities will be offered, sold and delivered to, and paid for by, the purchasers thereof at the price specified in, and in accordance with the terms of, an agreement or agreements duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto; and (vii) if issued in certificated form, certificates representing the Securities will be duly executed and delivered and, to the extent required by any applicable agreement, duly authenticated and countersigned, and if issued in book-entry form, the Securities will be duly registered to the extent required by any applicable agreement.

In addition, in rendering the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, we have assumed that, with respect to any Debt Security, Indenture or Guarantee that includes any alternative or additional terms that are not specified in the forms of Indenture, Debt Security and Guarantee examined by us, such inclusion would not cause such Debt Security not to be valid, binding or enforceable.

In rendering the opinions expressed in paragraph 1 and 2 above, we have assumed that each series of Debt Securities (and the related Guarantees) will be issued with an original aggregate principal amount (or in the case of Debt Securities issued at original issue discount, an aggregate issue price) of $2,500,000 or more.


Actavis plc, p. 5

 

We note that waivers of defenses contained in the Guarantees may be ineffective to the extent that any such defense involve a matter of public policy in New York.

We express no opinion regarding any Ordinary Shares or Serial Preferred Shares that may be represented by any Depositary Shares or received upon exercise of any Ordinary Share Warrants or Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts or included in any Ordinary Share Purchase Units referred to in paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6 above, respectively.

We note that any designation in the Securities or any applicable agreement governing those Securities of the U.S. federal courts sitting in New York City as the venue for actions or proceedings relating to such Securities or such agreement is (notwithstanding any waiver thereof) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such a federal court is an inconvenient forum for such an action or proceeding.

We note that by statute New York provides that a judgment or decree rendered in a currency other than the currency of the United States shall be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of entry of the judgment or decree. There is no corresponding federal statute and no controlling Federal court decision on this issue. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether a Federal court would award a judgment in a currency other than U.S. dollars or, if it did so, whether it would order conversion of the judgment into U.S. dollars. In addition, to the extent that any Securities or applicable agreement governing those Securities includes a provision relating to indemnification against any loss in obtaining currency due from a court judgment in another currency, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of such provision.

The foregoing opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.

We hereby consent to the use of our name in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement and in any prospectus supplements related thereto under the heading “Legal Matters,” and to the use of this opinion as a part of the Registration Statement (Exhibit 5.2). In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The opinions expressed herein are rendered on and as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinions expressed herein.

 

Very truly yours,

Dear Sirs

Warner Chilcott Limited (the “Company”)

We have acted as special legal counsel in Bermuda to the Company in connection with a registration statement on form S-3 to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on 19 February 2015 (the “Registration Statement”, which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) relating to the shelf registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of debt securities to be issued by Actavis Funding SCS (“Debt Securities”), and guarantees of the Debt Securities by the Company (the “Guarantees”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined a copy of the Registration Statement. We have also reviewed the memorandum of association and the bye-laws of the Company and an extract of minutes of a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors held on 4 February 2015 (the “Resolutions”) each certified by the Secretary of the Company on 10 February 2015, and such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set forth below.

We have assumed (a) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies (whether or not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken, (b) that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed and/or filed in the form of that draft, and where a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention, (c) the accuracy and completeness of all


factual representations made in the Registration Statement and other documents reviewed by us, (d) that the Resolutions remain in full force and effect and have not been, and will not be, rescinded or amended, (e) that the Company will issue the Guarantees in furtherance of its objects as set out in its memorandum of association, (f) that the memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Company will not be amended in any manner that would affect the opinions set forth herein, (g) that there is no provision of the law of any jurisdiction, other than Bermuda, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed herein, (h) that the form and terms of the Guarantees pursuant to any indenture will not violate the memorandum of association or bye-laws of the Company nor any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in Bermuda, (i) that all necessary corporate action will be taken to authorise and approve the execution of the Guarantees and the applicable indenture and any applicable supplements thereto, will be duly approved, executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company and all other parties thereto, (j) that the Guarantees will be in accordance with the applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement duly approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Registration Statement (including the prospectus set forth therein and any applicable supplement thereto) and the applicable indenture and any applicable supplements thereto, (k) the capacity, power and authority of all parties other than the Company to enter into and perform their obligations under any and all documents entered into by such parties in connection with the issuance of the Guarantees, and the due execution and delivery thereof by each party thereto, and (l) that on the date of entering into the Guarantees the Company is and after entering into the Guarantees will be able to pay its liabilities as and when they become due.

The obligations of the Company in connection with the Guarantees and any indenture or other agreement or document relating thereto (a) will be subject to the laws from time to time in effect relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, possessory liens, rights of set off, reorganisation, amalgamation, moratorium or any other laws or legal procedures, whether of a similar nature or otherwise, generally affecting the rights of creditors, (b) will be subject to statutory limitation of the time within which proceedings may be brought, (c) will be subject to general principles of equity and, as such, specific performance and injunctive relief, being equitable remedies, may not be available, (d) may not be given effect to by a Bermuda court if and to the extent they constitute the payment of an amount which is in the nature of a penalty and not in the nature of liquidated damages, and (e) may not be given effect by a Bermuda court to the extent that they are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda and such performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any contractual submission to the jurisdiction of specific courts, a Bermuda court has inherent discretion to stay or allow proceedings in the Bermuda courts.

We have made no investigation of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Bermuda. This opinion is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Bermuda and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice in Bermuda. This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Guarantees by the Company as described in the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing we are of the opinion that:

 

-2-


1. The Company is duly incorporated and existing under the laws of Bermuda in good standing (meaning solely that it has not failed to make any filing with any Bermuda governmental authority or to pay any Bermuda government fee or tax which would make it liable to be struck off the Register of Companies and thereby cease to exist under the laws of Bermuda).

 

2. The Guarantees have been duly authorised by the Company.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully

4 Opinion

Based upon the assumptions made above and subject to the qualifications set out below and any matter not disclosed to us, we are of the following opinion:

 

4.1 Status

Actavis Capital is a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), duly incorporated and existing under Luxembourg law for an unlimited duration.

The Issuer is a limited partnership (société en commandite simple), duly incorporated and existing under Luxembourg law for an unlimited duration.

 

4.2 Corporate power and authority

The issue of the Notes has been duly authorised by the Issuer, according to Luxembourg law applicable to commercial companies.

The Base Indenture, including the Guarantee therein, has been duly authorised by the Companies, according to Luxembourg law applicable to commercial companies.

 

5 Qualifications

This Opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

5.1 Our Opinion is subject to all limitations resulting from the application of Luxembourg public policy rules, overriding statutes and mandatory laws as well as to all limitations by reasons of bankruptcy (faillite), composition with creditors (concordat), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), or the appointment of a temporary administrator (administrateur provisoire) and any similar Luxembourg or foreign proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally (Insolvency Proceedings).

 

5/7


5.2 Powers of attorney, mandates (mandats) or appointments of agents may terminate by law and without notice upon the occurrence of Insolvency Proceedings and may be revoked despite their being expressed to be irrevocable.

 

5.3 Our opinion that the Companies exist is based on the Articles, the Excerpt and the RCS Certificates (which confirm in particular that no judicial decisions in respect of bankruptcy (faillite), composition with creditors (concordat), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée), or the appointment of a temporary administrator (administrateur provisoire) pertaining to the Companies have been registered with the RCS). The Articles, the Excerpts and the RCS Certificates are, however, not capable of revealing conclusively whether or not the Companies are subject to any Insolvency Proceedings.

 

5.4 Corporate documents of, and courts orders affecting, the Companies may not be available at the RCS and the clerk’s office of the Luxembourg district court forthwith upon their execution and filing and there may be a delay in the filing and publication of the documents or notices related thereto. We express no opinion as to the consequences of any failure by the Companies to comply with their filing, reporting, notification and publication obligations.

 

5.5 No opinion is given in relation to the accuracy of any representation or warranty (except those opined therein) given by, or concerning, any of the Parties, or whether such Parties have complied with any covenant, undertaking, term or condition given by or binding upon them.

 

5.6 The registration of the Documents or the Notes (and any document in connection therewith) with the Administration de I’Enregistrement et des Domaines in Luxembourg may be required in the case of legal proceedings before Luxembourg courts or in the case that the Documents or the Notes (and any document in connection therewith) must be produced before an official Luxembourg authority (autorité constituée). A nominal registration duty or an ad valorem duty may be payable, depending on the nature of the document to be registered. The Luxembourg courts or the official Luxembourg authority may require that the Documents or the Notes (and any document in connection therewith) and any judgment obtained in a foreign court be translated into French or German.

 

5.7 We do not express an opinion in relation to tax laws or regulations or the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated in connection with the Documents.

 

5.8 We have not reviewed any documents incorporated by reference or referred to in the Registration Statement and therefore our opinions do not extend to such documents (other than those expressly set out in Section 2 hereof).

 

6 Miscellaneous

 

6.1 This Opinion is as of this date and is given on the basis of Luxembourg laws in effect and as published, construed and applied by Luxembourg courts, as of such date. We undertake no obligation to update it or to advise of any changes in such laws or their construction or application. We express no opinion, nor do we imply any opinion, as to any laws other than Luxembourg laws.

 

6/7


6.2 This Opinion is strictly limited to the matters expressly set forth therein. No other opinion is, or may be, implied or inferred therefrom.

 

6.3 Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms, which may not correspond to the original French or German terms relating thereto. We accept no liability for omissions or inaccuracies attributable to the use of English terms.

 

6.4 This Opinion is given on the express condition, accepted by each person entitled to rely on it, that this Opinion and all rights, obligations, issues of interpretation and liabilities in relation to it are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, Luxembourg law and any action or claim in relation to it can be brought exclusively before the Luxembourg courts.

 

6.5 We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.4 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference of our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

6.6 This Opinion is issued by Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.à r.l. and may only be relied upon under the express condition, accepted by each person entitled to rely on it, that any liability of Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.à r.l. is limited to the amount paid out under its professional liability insurance policies. Individuals or legal entities that are involved in the services provided by, or on behalf of, Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.à r.l. cannot be held liable in any manner whatsoever.

 

Yours faithfully,
Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg S.à r.l.

Re: Actavis, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Nevada counsel in the State of Nevada (“State”) to Actavis, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), in connection with a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Shelf Registration Statement is to be filed by Actavis plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (“Parent”), Actavis Funding SCS, a limited partnership (société en commandite simple) organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Actavis Funding”) and those subsidiaries of Parent, including the Company, named therein as co-registrant guarantors, and relates to the issuance and sale from time to time by Parent or Actavis Funding of various types of securities (the “Securities”).

You have advised us that the Securities to be issued and sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, when, as and if duly authorized by Parent or Actavis Funding, as the case may be, are expected to include debt securities of Actavis Funding (the “Debt Securities”) issued under indentures in the form of a base indenture (the “Base Indenture”) among Actavis Funding, each of the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indentures”). You have further advised us that the Debt Securities are expected to be guaranteed with guarantees included in the Indentures (the “Guarantees”) by certain subsidiaries of Parent, including the Company. This opinion letter is being furnished at the request of the Company.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have reviewed (a) the Shelf Registration Statement, (b) the Base Indenture, (c) the constituent documents of the Company as amended to date, (d) certain records of the corporate proceedings of the

Company, (e) certificates of public officials, and (f) such records, documents, statutes and decisions as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the original of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof and the truthfulness of all statements of fact set forth in the documents and records examined by us. We have also reviewed such other instruments and documents and investigated such questions of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions hereinafter set forth.

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions set forth herein, and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State.

2. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and file or cause to be filed, with the Commission the Shelf Registration Statement. Such execution and filing have been duly authorized by the Company by all requisite corporate action.

3. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Indentures and to perform its obligations thereunder. The Guarantees have been duly authorized by the Company by all requisite corporate action.

4.

5. Except as may be required by applicable securities laws, rules or regulations of the State, as to which we express no opinion, no consent, waiver, approval, authorization or order of any governmental authority of the State is required pursuant to the statutes and regulations of the State in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of the Indentures, when, as and if duly authorized.

ACTAVIS PLC

STATEMENT REGARDING COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF

EARNINGS TO COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED SHARE DIVIDENDS

(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

 

   Year ended December 31,  
  2014   2013   2012   2011   2010  

Fixed Charges(1):

Interest expensed and capitalized (includes amortization of deferred financing costs)

Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends(5):

            3.0      7.0      4.4   

 

 

 

(1) Actavis plc’s (“Actavis”) fixed charges do not include any dividend requirements with respect to preferred shares because Actavis did not make any preferred share dividend payments during the periods indicated and has not made any dividend payments since its initial public offering in February 1993.

 

(2) Rents included in the computation consist of one-third of rental expense, which Actavis believes to be a conservative estimate of an interest factor in its leases, which are not material.

 

(3) Actavis’ ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred share dividends differs from Warner Chilcott Limited’s (“Warner Chilcott”) ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred share dividends in that pretax income for Warner Chilcott was $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $25 million for the year ended December 31, 2013; and, as a result Warner Chilcot had a deficiency of earnings to fixed charges of (2.8) for the year ended December 31, 2014 and (1.4) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

(4) The ratio coverage in 2014 and 2013 for each of Actavis and Warner Chilcott was less than 1:1. Actavis would have needed to generate additional earnings of $1,712.1 and $638.4, respectively, to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1. Warner Chilcott would have needed to generate additional earnings of $1,642.1 and $613.4, respectively, to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.

 

(5) Actavis did not make any preferred share dividend payments during the periods indicated and has not made any dividend payments since its initial public offering in February 1993; therefore, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred share dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. See Actavis’ reports on file with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act under “Where You Can Find More Information” for more information.
