The Mylan Supplemental Indentures are filed as Exhibits 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 4.9 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Commercial Paper Program
In connection with the transactions, on November 16, 2020, Viatris entered into definitive documentation to establish an unsecured commercial paper program (the “CP Program”) pursuant to which Viatris may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (the “CP Notes”) pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Mylan Inc., Utah Acquisition Sub and Mylan II (collectively, the “Guarantors”) have agreed to guarantee payment in full of the principal of and interest (if any) on the CP Notes, pursuant to a guarantee. Amounts available under the CP Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of CP Notes outstanding under the CP Program at any time not to exceed $1.65 billion.
The net proceeds of issuances of the CP Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The revolving credit agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among Viatris, certain lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), will be available to repay the CP Notes, if necessary. The effectiveness of the CP Program was concurrent with the termination of the commercial paper program, entered into on July 27, 2018, pursuant to which Mylan Inc. issued and Mylan guaranteed short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (the “Existing CP Program”).
The maturities of the CP Notes will vary but will not exceed 364 days from the date of issue. The CP Notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will be issued at a discount from par, or, alternatively, will be issued at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis.
Initially, three commercial paper dealers will each act as a dealer under the CP Program (each a “Dealer” and, collectively, the “Dealers”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of a commercial paper dealer agreement entered into among Viatris, the Guarantors and each Dealer (each, a “Dealer Agreement”). A national bank will act as issuing and paying agent under the CP Program.
Each Dealer Agreement provides the terms under which the applicable Dealer will either purchase the CP Notes from Viatris or arrange for the sale of the CP Notes by Viatris to one or more purchasers, in each case pursuant to an exemption from federal and state securities laws. Each Dealer Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. The Dealer Agreements are substantially identical in all material respects except as to the parties thereto and the notice provisions. A form of the Dealer Agreements is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
From time to time, one or more of the Dealers and certain of their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services to Viatris and its affiliates for which they have received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, certain of the Dealers or their affiliates are lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the delayed draw term loan credit agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among Viatris, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent.
The CP Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. The information contained in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.
Item 1.02. | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with the transactions, on November 16, 2020, Mylan Inc. terminated (i) the $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement, by and among Mylan Inc., Mylan, certain lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Existing Revolving Credit Agreement”), and (ii) the Existing CP Program. There were no material early termination penalties incurred as a result of the termination of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement and the Existing CP Program.
Item 2.03. | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A with respect to the Viatris Supplemental Indentures and the Mylan Supplemental Indentures is incorporated by reference into this item.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
Viatris will routinely post information that may be important to investors on its website at investor.viatris.com and will use that website as a means of disclosing material information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD).

Effective as of the Reorganization Effective Time, each of Viatris Inc. and Acquisition Sub hereby fully and unconditionally Guarantee the obligations of Mylan Inc. in respect of the Notes on the terms set forth herein, in the Guarantee and in the Indenture including, but not limited to, Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
4. TERMS OF GUARANTEES. Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Second Supplemental Indenture are hereby deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
2. Agreement to Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally, fully and irrevocably guarantees the Notes and obligations of Mylan Inc. thereunder and under the Indenture, and guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, that (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes will be paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, the amount that would become due but for the operation of any automatic stay provision of any federal bankruptcy law), together with interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any overdue interest, to the extent lawful, and all other obligations of Mylan Inc. to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the Notes will be paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Notes; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be 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.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture or the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of Notes with respect to any provisions of the Indenture or the Notes (other than those which expressly release, discharge or otherwise affect the Guarantee of such Guarantor), any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against Mylan Inc., any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor.
(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of Mylan Inc., any right to require a proceeding first against Mylan Inc. or any other Person, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants, subject to Section 6 hereof, that the Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be discharged as to the Notes, except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Indenture and such Guarantee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.
(d) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, in the event of a default in payment of principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any Notes, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, directly against each of the Guarantors to enforce such Guarantors Guarantee without first proceeding against Mylan Inc. or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the Maturity of the Notes, to collect Interest on the Notes, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Notes, such Guarantor will pay to the Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.
(e) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to Mylan Inc. or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Mylan Inc. or any Guarantor, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or such Holder, the Guarantee of each of the Guarantors, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand (x) subject to the terms and provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VII of the Indenture for the purposes of the Guarantee of such Guarantor notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VII of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor for the purpose of the Guarantee of such Guarantor.
(f) Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Mylan Inc. for liquidation or reorganization, should Mylan Inc. become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Mylan Inc.s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(g) For purposes of this Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4, the definition of Guarantee and Guarantor in the Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
Guarantee means the guarantee by a Guarantor of the Notes and obligations of Mylan Inc. thereunder and under the Indenture.
Guarantor means any direct or indirect parent entity or subsidiary of Mylan Inc. that guarantees the Notes and obligations of Mylan Inc. thereunder and under the Indenture.
3. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee provided hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, payment, or any part thereof, of any obligations or interest thereon is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by a Holder to Mylan Inc. upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of Mylan Inc. or any other Guarantor.

Commercial Paper Dealer Agreement
4(a)(2) Program
This agreement (the Agreement) sets forth the understandings among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Dealer, each named on the cover page hereof, in connection with the issuance and sale by the Issuer of its short-term promissory notes (the Notes) through the Dealer.
Each of the Guarantors has agreed unconditionally and irrevocably to guarantee payment in full of the principal of and interest (if any) on the Notes, pursuant to a guarantee, dated the date hereof, in the form of Exhibit D hereto (the Guarantee).
Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 6 hereof.
The Addendum to this Agreement, and any Annexes or Exhibits described in this Agreement or such Addendum, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and made fully a part hereof.
1. Offers, Sales and Resales of Notes.
1.1. While (i) the Issuer has and shall have no obligation to sell the Notes to the Dealer or to permit the Dealer to arrange any sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, and (ii) the Dealer has and shall have no obligation to purchase the Notes from the Issuer or to arrange any sale of the Notes for the account of the Issuer, the parties hereto agree that in any case where the Dealer purchases Notes from the Issuer, or arranges for the sale of Notes by the Issuer, such Notes will be purchased or sold by the Dealer in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors contained herein or made pursuant hereto and on the terms and conditions and in the manner provided herein.
1.2. So long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, and in addition to the limitations contained in Section 1.7 hereof, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall, without the consent of the Dealer, offer, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes except (a) in transactions with one or more dealers which may from time to time after the date hereof become dealers with respect to the Notes by executing with the Issuer and the Guarantors one or more agreements which contain provisions substantially similar to those contained in Section 1 of this Agreement, of which the Issuer hereby undertakes to provide the Dealer prompt notice or (b) in transactions with the other dealers listed on the Addendum hereto, which are executing agreements with the Issuer and the Guarantors which contain provisions substantially similar to Section 1 of this Agreement contemporaneously herewith. In no event shall the Issuer or any Guarantor offer, solicit or accept offers to purchase, or sell, any Notes directly on its own behalf in transactions with persons other than broker-dealers as specifically permitted in this Section 1.2.
1.3. The Notes shall be in a minimum denomination of $250,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will bear such interest rates, if interest bearing, or will be sold at such discount from their face amounts, as shall be agreed upon by the Dealer and the Issuer, shall have a maturity not exceeding 364 days from the date of issuance and may have such terms as are specified in Exhibit C hereto, the Private Placement Memorandum, a pricing supplement, or as otherwise agreed upon by the applicable purchaser and the Issuer. The Notes shall not contain any provision for extension, renewal or automatic rollover.
1
1.4. The authentication and issuance of, and payment for, the Notes shall be effected in accordance with the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, and the Notes shall be either individual physical certificates or book-entry notes evidenced by one or more Master Notes, in the form or forms annexed to the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement.
1.5. If the Issuer and the Dealer shall agree on the terms of the purchase of any Note by the Dealer or the sale of any Note arranged by the Dealer (including, but not limited to, agreement with respect to the date of issue, purchase price, principal amount, maturity and interest rate or interest rate index and margin (in the case of interest-bearing Notes) or discount thereof (in the case of Notes issued on a discount basis), and appropriate compensation for the Dealers services hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement, the Issuer shall cause such Note to be issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement and payment for such Note shall be made by the purchaser thereof, either directly or through the Dealer, to the Issuing and Paying Agent, for the account of the Issuer. Except as otherwise agreed, in the event that the Dealer is acting as an agent and a purchaser shall either fail to accept delivery of or make payment for a Note on the date fixed for settlement, the Dealer shall promptly notify the Issuer, and if the Dealer has theretofore paid the Issuer for the Note, the Issuer will promptly return such funds to the Dealer against its return of the Note to the Issuer, in the case of a certificated Note, and upon notice of such failure in the case of a book-entry Note. If such failure occurred for any reason other than default by the Dealer, the Issuer and the Guarantors agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Dealer on an equitable basis for the Dealers loss of the use of such funds for the period such funds were credited to the Issuers account.
1.6. The Dealer, the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby establish and agree to observe the following procedures in connection with offers, sales and subsequent resales or other transfers of the Notes:
(a) Offers and sales of the Notes by or through the Dealer shall be made only to: (i) investors reasonably believed by the Dealer to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or Institutional Accredited Investors and (ii) non-bank fiduciaries or agents that will be purchasing Notes for one or more accounts, each of which is reasonably believed by the Dealer to be a Qualified Institutional Buyer or an Institutional Accredited Investor.
(b) Resales and other transfers of the Notes by the holders thereof shall be made only in accordance with the restrictions in the legend described in clause (e) below.
(c) No general solicitation or general advertising shall be used in connection with the offering of the Notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, without the prior written approval of the Dealer, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall issue any press release, make any other statement to any member of the press making reference to the Notes, the offer or sale of the Notes or this Agreement or place or publish any tombstone or other advertisement relating to the Notes or the offer or sale thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable securities laws, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall (i) omit the name of the Dealer from any publicly available filing by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, that makes reference to the Notes, the offer or sale of the Notes or this Agreement and (ii) redact the Dealers name and any contact or other information that could identify the Dealer from any agreement or other information included in such filing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer shall not post the Private Placement Memorandum on a website without the consent of the Dealer and each other dealer or placement agent, if any, for the Notes.
2
(d) No sale of Notes to any one purchaser shall be for less than $250,000 principal or face amount, and no Note shall be issued in a smaller principal or face amount. If the purchaser is a non-bank fiduciary acting on behalf of others, each person for whom such purchaser is acting must purchase at least $250,000 principal or face amount of Notes.
(e) Offers and sales of the Notes by the Issuer through the Dealer acting as agent for the Issuer shall be made in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and shall be subject to the restrictions described in the legend appearing in Exhibit A hereto. A legend substantially to the effect of such Exhibit A shall appear as part of the Private Placement Memorandum used in connection with offers and sales of Notes hereunder, as well as on each individual certificate representing a Note and each Master Note representing book-entry Notes offered and sold pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) The Dealer shall make available to each purchaser of Notes for which it has acted as the Dealer a copy of the then-current Private Placement Memorandum unless a copy of the Private Placement Memorandum as then in effect has previously been made available to such purchaser. The Private Placement Memorandum shall expressly state that any person to whom Notes are offered shall have an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive information from, the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Dealer and shall provide the names, addresses and telephone numbers of the persons from whom information regarding the Issuer and the Guarantors may be obtained.
(g) The Issuer agrees for the benefit of the Dealer and each of the holders and prospective purchasers from time to time of the Notes that, if at any time the Issuer shall not be subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will furnish, upon request and at their expense, to the Dealer and to holders and prospective purchasers of Notes information required by Rule 144A(d)(4)(i) in compliance with Rule 144A(d).
(h) In the event that any Note offered or to be offered by the Dealer would be ineligible for resale under Rule 144A, the Issuer shall promptly notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing) of such fact and shall promptly prepare and deliver to the Dealer an amendment or supplement to the Private Placement Memorandum describing the Notes that are ineligible, the reason for such ineligibility and any other relevant information relating thereto.
(i) The Issuer and the Guarantors represent that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor is currently issuing commercial paper in the United States market in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act. The Issuer and the Guarantors agree that, if the Issuer or any Guarantor shall issue commercial paper after the date hereof in reliance upon such exemption (a) the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be segregated from the proceeds of the sale of any such commercial paper by being placed in a separate account; (b) the Issuer and the Guarantors will institute appropriate corporate procedures to ensure that the offers and sales of notes issued by the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be, pursuant to the Section 3(a)(3) exemption are not integrated with offerings and sales of Notes hereunder; and (c) the Issuer and the Guarantors will comply with each of the requirements of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act in selling commercial paper or other short-term debt securities other than the Notes in the United States.
3
1.7. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby represents and warrants to the Dealer, in connection with offers, sales and resales of Notes, as follows:
(a) The Issuer and the Guarantors hereby confirm to the Dealer that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i) hereof) within the preceding six months neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof acting on behalf of the Issuer or any Guarantor has offered or sold any Notes, or any substantially similar security of the Issuer or the Guarantors (including, without limitation, medium-term notes issued by the Issuer or the Guarantors which could be integrated with the Notes for Securities Act purposes), to, or solicited offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof. The Issuer and the Guarantors also agree that (except as permitted by Section 1.6(i) hereof), as long as the Notes are being offered for sale by the Dealer and the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof as contemplated hereby and until at least six months after the offer of Notes hereunder has been terminated, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor nor any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof (except as contemplated by Section 1.2 hereof) will offer the Notes or any substantially similar security of the Issuer or the Guarantors for sale to, or solicit offers to buy any such security from, any person other than the Dealer or the other dealers referred to in Section 1.2 hereof, it being understood that such agreement is made with a view to bringing the offer and sale of the Notes within the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereby represents and warrants that it has not taken or omitted to take, and will not take or omit to take, any action that would cause the offering and sale of Notes hereunder to be integrated with any other offering of securities, whether such offering is made by the Issuer or the Guarantors or some other party or parties.
(b) The Issuer represents and agrees that the proceeds of the sale of the Notes are not currently contemplated to be used for the purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities within the meaning of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. In the event that the Issuer determines to use such proceeds for the purpose of buying, carrying or trading securities, whether in connection with an acquisition of another company or otherwise, the Issuer shall give the Dealer at least five business days prior written notice to that effect. The Issuer shall also give the Dealer prompt notice of the actual date that it commences to purchase securities with the proceeds of the Notes. Thereafter, in the event that the Dealer purchases Notes as principal and does not resell such Notes on the day of such purchase, to the extent necessary to comply with Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder, the Dealer will sell such Notes either (i) only to offerees it reasonably believes to be Qualified Institutional Buyers or to Qualified Institutional Buyers it reasonably believes are acting for other Qualified Institutional Buyers, in each case in accordance with Rule 144A or (ii) in a manner which would not cause a violation of Regulation T and the interpretations thereunder.

7
and Paying Agent Agreement, which has not been disclosed to the Dealer in writing (provided that, to the extent any such change is described in reasonable detail in any periodic or current report of the Issuer filed with the EDGAR system of the SEC on a timely basis, the Dealer shall be deemed to be notified in accordance herewith) and (iii) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor is in default of any of its obligations hereunder or, under the Notes, the Guarantee or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement.

2.20. Mylan II B.V. is permitted to make all payments under this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee and the Notes, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes or other governmental charges imposed by the Netherlands. There is no stamp or documentary tax or other similar charge (other than court fees) payable in the Netherlands in connection with the execution, delivery, issuance, payment or performance of this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or any Note.
2.21. The choice of New York law to govern this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee and the Notes is, under Netherlands law, a valid, effective and irrevocable choice of law and will be recognized by Dutch courts, subject to the limitations of the Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I), and the submission by Mylan II B.V. in Section 7.3 of this Agreement to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States District Court and the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan is valid and binding upon Mylan II B.V. and will be recognized under Netherlands law, subject to the Council Regulation (EC) No. 1215/2012 of 12 December 2012 on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (Recast) and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (the Recast Enforcement Regulation), the Convention of 30 October 2007 on Jurisdiction and the Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (the Lugano II Convention), and any instrument or national legislation referred to in Article 67 of the Recast Enforcement Regulation or the Lugano II Convention, and limited exceptions contained in the Netherlands Code of Civil Procedure (Wetboek van Burgerlijke Rechtsvordering).
2.22. Any final judgment rendered by a competent court of the United States or the State of New York in an action to enforce the obligations of Mylan II B.V. under this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes is capable of being enforced in the courts of the Netherlands; provided that in the absence of an enforcement treaty between the Netherlands and the United States, a judgment of a United States court would not automatically be recognized or enforceable in the Netherlands and consequently the dispute would have to be re-litigated before the competent Netherlands court in order to obtain a judgment in respect of this Agreement that can be enforced in the Netherlands against Mylan II B.V.
8
2.23. As a condition to the admissibility in evidence of this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, the Guarantee or the Notes in the courts of the Netherlands, it is not necessary that this Agreement, the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement or the Notes be filed or recorded with any court or other authority.
3. Covenants and Agreements of the Issuer and the Guarantors.
Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, covenants and agrees as to itself that:

The Issuer will give the Dealer prompt notice (but in any event prior to any subsequent issuance of Notes hereunder) of any amendment to, modification of or waiver with respect to, the Notes, the Guarantee or the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, including a complete copy of any such amendment, modification or waiver.
3.2. The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, whenever there shall occur any downgrading or receipt of any notice of intended or potential downgrading or any review for potential change in the rating accorded any of the securities of the Issuer or the Guarantors by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization which has published a rating of the Notes), promptly, and in any event prior to any subsequent issuance of Notes hereunder, notify the Dealer (by telephone, confirmed in writing) of such occurrence.

3.4. The Issuer and the Guarantors will take all such action as the Dealer may from time to time reasonably request to ensure that each offer and each sale of the Notes in the manner contemplated hereby will comply with any applicable state Blue Sky laws; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

Exhibit B
Further Provisions Relating to Indemnification
(a) The Issuer and each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agree to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel in the jurisdiction in which any Claim is brought)) as they are incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 5 of the Agreement (whether or not it is a party to any such proceedings).
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the existence of a Claim, such Indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Issuer or the Guarantors, notify the Issuer and the Guarantors in writing of the existence thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Issuer or any Guarantor will not relieve the Issuer or any Guarantor from any liability which it may have hereunder unless and except to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the Issuer or the Guarantors of substantial rights and defenses, and (ii) the omission to so notify the Issuer or any Guarantor will not relieve it from liability which it may have to an Indemnitee otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In case any such Claim is made against any Indemnitee and it notifies the Issuer of the existence thereof, the Issuer and the Guarantors will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that any of them may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee; provided that if the defendants in any such Claim include both the Indemnitee and either the Issuer or the Guarantors, or both, and the Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer or the Guarantors, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall have the right to direct the defense of such Claim on behalf of such Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer to assert such legal defenses on behalf of such Indemnitee. Upon receipt of notice from the Issuer or the Guarantors to such Indemnitee of the election of the Issuer and the Guarantors to assume the defense of such Claim and approval by the Indemnitee of counsel, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not be liable to such Indemnitee for expenses incurred thereafter by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) the Indemnitee shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Guarantors shall be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel in the jurisdiction in which any Claim is brought), approved by the Dealer, representing the Indemnitee who is party to such Claim), (ii) the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of existence of the Claim or (iii) the Issuer or any Guarantor has authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee. The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder shall be in addition to any other liability the Issuer or the Guarantors may otherwise have to an Indemnitee and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Issuer, the Guarantors and any Indemnitee. Each of the Issuer and the Guarantors agrees that without the Dealers prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under the indemnification provision of the
Agreement (whether or not the Dealer or any other Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnitee.
Exhibit C
Statement of Terms for Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes of
Viatris Inc.
THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH BELOW ARE QUALIFIED TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE BY THE TRANSACTION SPECIFIC PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM SUPPLEMENT (THE SUPPLEMENT) (IF ANY) SENT TO EACH PURCHASER AT THE TIME OF THE TRANSACTION.
1. General. (a) The obligations of the Issuer to which these terms apply (each a Note) are represented by one or more master notes issued in the name of The Depository Trust Company (DTC) or its nominee (each, a Master Note), which Master Note includes the terms and provisions for the Issuers Interest-Bearing Commercial Paper Notes that are set forth in this Statement of Terms, since this Statement of Terms constitutes an integral part of the Underlying Records as defined and referred to in each Master Note.
(b) Business Day means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, executive order or regulation to be closed in New York City and, with respect to LIBOR Notes (as defined below) is also a London Business Day. London Business Day means, a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.
2. Interest. (a) Each Note will bear interest at a fixed rate (a Fixed Rate Note) or at a floating rate (a Floating Rate Note).
(b) The Supplement sent to each holder of such Note will describe the following terms: (i) whether such Note is a Fixed Rate Note or a Floating Rate Note and whether such Note is an Original Issue Discount Note (as defined below); (ii) the date on which such Note will be issued (the Issue Date); (iii) the Stated Maturity Date (as defined below); (iv) if such Note is a Fixed Rate Note, the rate per annum at which such Note will bear interest, if any, and the Interest Payment Dates; (v) if such Note is a Floating Rate Note, the Base Rate, the Index Maturity, the Interest Reset Dates, the Interest Payment Dates and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any (all as defined below), and any other terms relating to the particular method of calculating the interest rate for such Note; and (vi) any other terms applicable specifically to such Note. Original Issue Discount Note means a Note which has a stated redemption price at the Stated Maturity Date that exceeds its Issue Price by more than a specified de minimis amount and which the Supplement indicates will be an Original Issue Discount Note.
(c) Each Fixed Rate Note will bear interest from its Issue Date at the rate per annum specified in the Supplement until the principal amount thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest on each Fixed Rate Note will be payable on the dates specified in the Supplement (each an Interest Payment Date for a Fixed Rate Note) and on the Maturity Date (as defined below). Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date of a Fixed Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph, if such provisions would result in the relevant amounts being payable more than 364 days from the date of issuance of a Fixed Rate Note, such amounts shall instead be payable on the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date.
(d) The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note for each Interest Reset Period (as defined below) will be determined by reference to an interest rate basis (a Base Rate) plus or minus a number of basis points (one basis point equals one-hundredth of a percentage point) (the Spread), if any, and/or multiplied by a certain percentage (the Spread Multiplier), if any, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. The Supplement will designate which of the following Base Rates is applicable to the related Floating Rate Note: (a) the Commercial Paper Rate (a Commercial Paper Rate Note), (b) the Federal Funds Rate (a Federal Funds Rate Note), (c) LIBOR (a LIBOR Note), (d) the Prime Rate (a Prime Rate Note), (e) SOFR (a SOFR Note), (f) the Treasury Rate (a Treasury Rate Note) or (g) such other Base Rate as may be specified in such Supplement.
The rate of interest on each Floating Rate Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (the Interest Reset Period). The date or dates on which interest will be reset (each an Interest Reset Date) will be, unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other than SOFR Notes) which reset daily, each Business Day; in the case of SOFR Notes which reset daily, each U.S. Government Securities Business Day as defined below under SOFR Notes; in the case of Floating Rate Notes (other than Treasury Rate Notes) that reset weekly, the Wednesday of each week; in the case of Treasury Rate Notes that reset weekly, the Tuesday of each week; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes that reset semiannually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the Supplement. If any Interest Reset Date for any Floating Rate Note is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. Interest on each Floating Rate Note will be payable monthly, quarterly or semiannually (the Interest Payment Period) and on the Maturity Date. Unless otherwise specified in the Supplement, and except as provided below, the date or dates on which interest will be payable (each an Interest Payment Date for a Floating Rate Note) will be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a monthly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a quarterly Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semiannual Interest Payment Period, on the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the Supplement. In addition, the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment Date.
If any Interest Payment Date for any Floating Rate Note (other than an Interest Payment Date occurring on the Maturity Date) would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that in the case of a LIBOR Note or a SOFR Note, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of principal and interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall
accrue for the period from and after such maturity. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this paragraph, if such provisions would result in the relevant amounts being payable more than 364 days from the date of issuance of a Floating Rate Note, such amounts shall instead be payable on the Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date.
Interest payments on each Interest Payment Date for Floating Rate Notes will include accrued interest from and including the Issue Date or from and including the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date. On the Maturity Date, the interest payable on a Floating Rate Note will include interest accrued to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. Accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the principal amount of a Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor. This accrued interest factor will be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) for each such day will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, in the cases where the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, Prime Rate or SOFR, or by the actual number of days in the year, in the case where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate. The interest rate in effect on each day will be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) pertaining to such Interest Reset Date, or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding Interest Reset Date, subject in either case to any adjustment by a Spread and/or a Spread Multiplier.
The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Commercial Paper Rate will be the second Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Federal Funds Rate or the Prime Rate will be the Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is LIBOR will be the second London Business Day next preceding an Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is SOFR will be the U.S. Government Securities Business Day specified in the Supplement. The Interest Determination Date where the Base Rate is the Treasury Rate will be the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls when Treasury Bills are normally auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is held on the following Tuesday or the preceding Friday. If an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.
The Index Maturity is the period to maturity of the instrument or obligation from which the applicable Base Rate is calculated.
The Calculation Date, where applicable, shall be the earlier of (i) the tenth calendar day following the applicable Interest Determination Date or (ii) the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date.
All times referred to herein reflect New York City time, unless otherwise specified.
The Issuer shall specify in writing to the Issuing and Paying Agent which party will be the calculation agent (the Calculation Agent) with respect to the Floating Rate Notes. The Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note to the Issuing and Paying Agent as soon as the interest rate with respect to such Floating Rate Note has been determined and as soon as practicable after any change in such interest rate.
All percentages resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five-one millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards. For example, 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655). All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation on Floating Rate Notes will be rounded, in the case of U.S. dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a foreign currency, to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded upwards).
Commercial Paper Rate Notes
Commercial Paper Rate means the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) of the rate on any Interest Determination Date for commercial paper having the Index Maturity, as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB) in Statistical Release H.15, Selected Interest Rates or any successor publication of the FRB (H.15) under the heading Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.
If the above rate is not published in H.15 by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield of the rate on such Interest Determination Date for commercial paper of the Index Maturity as published in the daily update of H.15, available through the world wide website of the FRB at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15, or any successor site or publication or other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying the applicable rate (H.15 Daily Update) under the heading Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial.
If by 3:00 p.m. on such Calculation Date such rate is not published in either H.15 or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Commercial Paper Rate to be the Money Market Yield of the arithmetic mean of the offered rates as of 11:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date of three leading dealers of U.S. dollar commercial paper in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the Index Maturity placed for an industrial issuer whose bond rating is AA, or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the Commercial Paper Rate with respect to such Interest Determination Date will remain the Commercial Paper Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.
Money Market Yield will be a yield calculated in accordance with the following formula:
D x 360 | ||||
Money Market Yield = | ___________ x 100 | |||
360 - (D x M) |
where D refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal and M refers to the actual number of days in the interest period for which interest is being calculated.
Federal Funds Rate Notes
Federal Funds Rate means the rate on any Interest Determination Date for federal funds as published in H.15 under the heading Federal Funds (Effective) and displayed on Reuters Page (as defined below) FEDFUNDS1 under the heading EFFECT (or any successor service) (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1).
If the above rate does not appear on Reuters Page FEDFUNDS1 or is not so published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Federal Funds Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading Federal Funds/(Effective).
If such rate is not published as described above by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Federal Funds Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates for the last transaction in overnight U.S. dollar federal funds arranged by each of three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent prior to 9:00 a.m. on such Interest Determination Date.
If the brokers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned above, the Federal Funds Rate will remain the Federal Funds Rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.
Reuters Page means the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon, or any successor service, on the page or pages specified in this Statement of Terms or the Supplement, or any replacement page on that service.
LIBOR Notes
The London Interbank offered rate (LIBOR) means, with respect to any Interest Determination Date, the rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having the Index Maturity that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date.
If no rate appears, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in such market selected by the Calculation Agent for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in principal amount equal to an amount that in the Calculation Agents judgment is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in such market at such time (a Representative Amount). The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR for such interest period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in New York City, on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent, for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a term equal to the Index Maturity and in a Representative Amount; provided, however, that if fewer than three banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are providing such quotations, the then existing LIBOR rate will remain in effect for such Interest Payment Period.
Designated LIBOR Page means the display on Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any successor service) on the LIBOR01 page (or any replacement page or pages on such service) for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.
Prime Rate Notes
Prime Rate means the rate on any Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 under the heading Bank Prime Loan.
If the above rate is not published in H.15 prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, then the Prime Rate will be the rate on such Interest Determination Date as published in H.15 Daily Update opposite the caption Bank Prime Loan.
If the rate is not published prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date in either H.15 or H.15 Daily Update, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page (as defined below) as such banks prime rate or base lending rate as of 11:00 a.m., on that Interest Determination Date.
If fewer than four such rates referred to above are so published by 3:00 p.m. on the Calculation Date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Prime Rate to be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number of days in the year divided by 360 as of the close of business on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent.
If the banks selected are not quoting as mentioned above, the Prime Rate will remain the Prime Rate in effect on such Interest Determination Date.
Reuters Screen US PRIME1 Page means the display designated as page US PRIME1 on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may replace the US PRIME1 page on that service for the purpose of displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major U.S. banks).

Benchmark Transition
Benchmark means, initially, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate; provided that if the Issuer or the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark, then Benchmark means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.
Benchmark Transition Event means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):
(1) | a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; |
(2) | a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official or resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or |
(3) | a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative. |
Benchmark Replacement Date means, with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event:
(1) | in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event, the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or |
(2) | in the case of clause (3) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event, the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein. |
For the avoidance of doubt, if the event that gives rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination.
Reference Time means (1) if the Benchmark is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the SOFR Determination Time for the applicable SOFR Base Rate with respect to any determination of the SOFR Base Rate or (2) if the Benchmark is not the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, the time determined by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent for any determination of the Benchmark, after giving effect to the Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes as such term is defined below under Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event.
Effect of a Benchmark Transition Event
Benchmark Replacement means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) | the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; |
(2) | the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or |
(3) | the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. |
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) | the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement; |
(2) | if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or |
(3) | the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Issuer or the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time. |
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

Each Guarantor, for value received, hereby agrees as follows for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Notes hereinafter described:
1. | Each Guarantor irrevocably guarantees payment in full, as and when the same becomes due and payable, of the principal of and interest, if any, on the promissory notes (the Notes) issued by Viatris Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer), from time to time pursuant to the Issuing and Paying Agent Agreement, dated as of [ ], as the same may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, between the Issuer, the Guarantors and [ ] (the Agreement). |
2. | Each Guarantors obligations under this Guarantee shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any provision of the Agreement or the Notes. |
3. | This Guarantee is a guaranty of the due and punctual payment (and not merely of collection) of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes by the Issuer and shall remain in full force and effect until all amounts have been validly, finally and irrevocably paid in full, and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance or condition whatsoever, including without limitation (a) the absence of any action to obtain such amounts from the Issuer, (b) any variation, extension, waiver, compromise or release of any or all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Agreement or the Notes or of any collateral security therefor or (c) any change in the existence or structure of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the Issuer or by any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety. Each Guarantor waives all requirements as to diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of any kind with respect to the Agreement and the Notes. |
Any term or provision of this Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of each Guarantors obligations hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

5. | This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect or shall be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time any payment by the Issuer of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |
6. | At such time as the Notes shall have been paid in full and no new Notes may be issued and the offer of Notes has been terminated, this Guarantee and all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. |

8. | Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably accepts and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan and the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in connection with any action, suit or proceeding relating to this Guarantee. |

If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent hereunder shall cease to be available to act as such, Mylan II B.V. agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the City of New York on the terms and for the purposes of Sections 8 and 9 satisfactory to the dealer. Mylan II B.V. further hereby irrevocably consents and agrees to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents out of any of the aforesaid courts in any such action, suit or proceeding by serving a copy thereof upon the agent for service of process referred to in Section 9 (whether or not the appointment of such agent shall for any reason prove to be ineffective or such agent shall accept or acknowledge such service) or by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified airmail, postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in or designated pursuant to this Guarantee. Mylan II B.V. agrees that the failure of any such designee, appointee and agent to give any notice of such service to it shall not impair or affect in any way the validity of such service or any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the holders of any Notes to serve any such legal process, summons, notices and documents in any other manner permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over the undersigned or bring actions, suits or proceedings against the undersigned in such other jurisdictions, and in such other manner, as may be permitted by applicable law. Mylan II B.V. hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee brought in the courts listed in Section 8 and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. |

In the event any such withholding is required by law, Mylan II B.V. agrees to (i) pay the same and (ii) pay such additional amounts which, after deduction of any such withholding, stamp or other similar taxes or governmental charges of any nature, whatsoever imposed with respect to the payment of such additional amounts, shall equal the amount withheld pursuant to clause (i). |
12. | Each Guarantor agrees to indemnify each holder from time to time of Notes against any loss incurred by such holder as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder or thereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the Judgment Currency) other than United States dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such holder is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by such holder. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of each Guarantor and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid.
