WHEREAS, Upjohn Inc. has changed its name from “Upjohn Inc.” to “Viatris Inc.”, and all references to “Upjohn Inc.” in the Indenture and the Notes are deemed to be references to Viatris Inc.; and

3. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, member, partner, officer, employee or equityholder of the Issuer or any of the Guarantors will have any liability for any of the Issuer’s or such Guarantor’s obligations under the Notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantee or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation (other than the Guarantors in respect of their respective Guarantees and the Company in respect of the Notes).

In entering into this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to the benefit of every provision of the Indenture relating to the conduct of or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee.

8. RATIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE; SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE PART OF THE INDENTURE. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, including, without limitation, Section 7.06 thereof, shall remain in full force and effect.
