INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of _____________, 2015 by and between Endo Health Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation (“EHSI”), and ______________ (“Indemnitee”). This Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all previous agreements between EHSI and Indemnitee covering the subject matter of this Agreement.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, it is essential to Endo International plc, a public limited company incorporated in Ireland and the ultimate parent of EHSI (the “Company”), to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;
WHEREAS, capable persons have become more reluctant to serve publicly-held corporations as directors, officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Company;
WHEREAS, Indemnitee is a director of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and/or an officer of the Company;
WHEREAS, both EHSI and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of publicly-held corporations in today’s environment and the need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee’s continued service to the Company in an effective manner;
WHEREAS, the Company has determined that its inability to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons would be detrimental to the interests of the Company, and that the Company therefore should seek to assure such persons that indemnification and insurance coverage will be available in the future;
WHEREAS, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (collectively, the “Charter Documents”) require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers to the extent provided therein, and Indemnitee serves as a director and/or officer of the Company, in part, in reliance on such provisions in the Charter Documents;
WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for substantial protection against personal liability in order to enhance Indemnitee’s continued service to the Company in an effective manner and Indemnitee’s reliance on the Charter Documents, and in part to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Charter Documents and available to directors under the laws of the State of Delaware will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the applicable provisions of the Charter Documents or any change in the composition of the governing bodies of the Company or any acquisition transaction relating to the Company), the Company wishes EHSI to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of Expenses (as defined below) to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted by the

1


laws of the State of Delaware and as set forth in this Agreement, and, to the extent insurance is maintained, for the continued coverage of Indemnitee under the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company; and
WHEREAS, the indirect parent of EHSI, Endo Designated Activity Company, a private limited company incorporated in Ireland, has directed EHSI to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, and of Indemnitee continuing to serve the Company, EHSI and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

The parties agree that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable.

Pursuant to this Section 2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written demand is presented to the Company, against all Expenses (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his/her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful. No change in applicable law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder.
Section 3.Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. EHSI shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to, a witness or other participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after written

4


demand is presented to the Company, against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her or on his/her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 3 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or any court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. No change in applicable law shall have the effect of reducing the benefits available to Indemnitee hereunder.
Section 4.Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to (or a participant in) and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or in part, EHSI shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by EHSI for some or a portion of the Expenses, EHSI shall indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled. For purposes of this Section 4 and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Section 5.Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his/her Corporate Status, a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he/she shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her or on his/her behalf in connection therewith.
Section 6.Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, EHSI shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee:
(a)    for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision in the Charter Documents, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision. In the event that such actual payment is made under any insurance policy or indemnity provision after EHSI has made an indemnity payment under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse EHSI for such indemnity in the amount of such payment; or
(b)    for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-

5


based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); or
(c)    in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Proceeding is for enforcement of this Agreement (to the extent that Indemnitee prevails), or (iii) EHSI provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in EHSI under the laws of the State of Delaware; or
(d)    for which the Reviewing Party shall have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which the Independent Counsel is involved) that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation in any court in the States of Pennsylvania or Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases thereof, and EHSI hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Any determination by the Reviewing Party otherwise shall be conclusive and binding on EHSI and Indemnitee. If Indemnitee commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware shall not be binding until a final judicial determination is made (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be so indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 7.Advances of Expenses.
(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, EHSI shall advance or reimburse, to the extent not prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) (“Advances”). Advances shall be made within twenty-one (21) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such Advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Advances shall also include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and forwarding statements to the Company to support the Advances claimed. This Section 7 shall

6


not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to Section 6.
(b)    The obligation of EHSI to make an advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section 7(a) shall be subject to the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be so indemnified under applicable law, EHSI shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse EHSI) for all such amounts paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that Indemnitee would not be permitted to be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse EHSI for any Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee’s undertaking to repay such Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free.
Section 8.Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.
(a)    Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of any written notice, summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of Expenses covered under this Agreement. The written notification to the Company shall include a description of the nature of the Proceeding, the facts underlying the Proceeding, and documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company hereunder will not relieve EHSI from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any rights under this Agreement. The Secretary of the Company shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board and EHSI in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
(b)    The Company and EHSI will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
Section 9.Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.
(a)    Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 8(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made by the Reviewing Party, who shall be: (i) if a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) shall have occurred, Independent Counsel, retained pursuant to Section 9(c); or (ii) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) selected by a majority vote of the

7


Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or (B) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, Independent Counsel, retained by the Company and EHSI (who shall make such determination in the form of a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee). Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Reviewing Party, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or Expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Reviewing Party shall be borne by EHSI (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification).
(b)    In the event that Independent Counsel is retained by the Company and EHSI pursuant to Section 9(a), written notice of the selection shall be provided promptly to Indemnitee. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement, legal counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
(c)    EHSI agrees that if there is a Change in Control of the Company (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control) then with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or the Charter Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to any Proceeding, EHSI shall seek legal advice only from Independent Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such Independent Counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company, EHSI and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under the laws of the State of Delaware. EHSI agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel and to indemnify fully such Independent Counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
Section 10.Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a)    In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Reviewing Party shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the laws of the State of Delaware, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement, and EHSI shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the laws of the State of Delaware, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by any person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption.
(b)    Subject to Section 11(d), if the Reviewing Party shall not have made a determination within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request thereof, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the laws of the State of Delaware, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be

8


entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the person, persons or entity making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating thereto; and provided, further, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 10(b) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement.
(c)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct, act in good faith and in a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful.
(d)    Actions of Others. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of the Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 11.Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a)    Subject to Section 11(d), in the event that (i) the advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 7 of this Agreement, (ii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 9(a) of this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iii) the payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Section 2 or 3 within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request thereof, or (iv) EHSI or any other person takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or Proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of his/her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses.
(b)    Any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial on the merits and EHSI shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses.
(c)    If a determination shall have been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, EHSI shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 11, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material

9


fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
Section 12.Non-exclusivity; Insurance; Subrogation; Other Payments.
(a)    The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter Documents, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of the Board, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in the laws of the State of Delaware, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Charter Documents and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall, by this Agreement, enjoy the greater benefits so afforded by such change. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Charter Documents, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy the greater benefits regardless of whether contained herein or in the Charter Documents. No amendment or alteration of the Charter Documents or any other agreement shall adversely affect the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.
(b)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such claim or of the commencement of a Proceeding, as the case may be, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.
(c)    In the event of any payment under this Agreement, EHSI shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable EHSI to bring suit to enforce such rights. EHSI shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.
(d)    EHSI’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of any Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has

10


actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Section 13.Actions of the Company. To the extent that this Agreement contemplates actions to be taken by the Company or EHSI, any officer engaging in such actions shall not be a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought.
Section 14.Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of: (a) ten (10) years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or an officer of the Company or in other Corporate Status due to service as a director or an officer of the Company or (b) one (1) year after the final termination of any Proceeding then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement relating thereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon EHSI and its successors and assigns, and EHSI agrees to assign this Agreement to any purchaser of substantially all of the assets and to secure the agreement of such purchaser to assume this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his/her heirs, executors and administrators.
Section 15.Reliance as Safe Harbor. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any action or omission to act undertaken (a) in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board, or by any other person as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence, or (b) on behalf of the Company in furtherance of the interests of the Company in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of legal counsel or accountants, provided such legal counsel or accountants were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.
Section 16.Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, void, illegal or otherwise unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, by a court of competent jurisdiction: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal, void or otherwise unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

11


Section 17.Merger. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter Documents and the laws of the State of Delaware, and shall not be deemed a substitute thereof, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.
Section 18.Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver. In the event EHSI or any of its subsidiaries enters into an indemnification agreement with another director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any of its subsidiaries containing a term or terms more favorable to Indemnitee than the terms contained herein (as determined by Indemnitee), Indemnitee shall be afforded the benefit of such more favorable term or terms and such more favorable term or terms shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in full herein. As promptly as practicable following the execution by EHSI or the relevant subsidiary of each indemnity agreement with any such other director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary (i) EHSI shall send a copy of the indemnity agreement to Indemnitee, and (ii) if requested by Indemnitee, EHSI shall prepare, execute and deliver to Indemnitee an amendment to this Agreement containing such more favorable term or terms.

All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed by certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received, for each party, at the address indicated on the signature page of this Agreement, or at such other address as each party shall provide to the other party.
Section 20.Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws and/or rules. EHSI and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), or in any other state or federal court in the United States of America with subject matter and personal jurisdiction, but not in any court in any other country, (ii) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (iii) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
