(l) None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or any Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of Depositary records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any Depositary records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for transfers of beneficial interests in the Securities or any transactions between the Depositary and beneficial owners.

Section 2.5 Change of Control.

(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the 2023 Notes of any series, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the 2023 Notes of such series (as described in Sections 2.3(e), 2.3(f) or 2.3(g)), the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the 2023 Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s 2023 Notes on the terms set forth below. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2023 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail (or, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) a notice to Holders of the 2023 Notes and the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2023 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

8


(i) accept for payment all 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes properly tendered; and

(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2023 Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes being repurchased.

(c) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all 2023 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2023 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 2.5, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.5 by virtue of any such conflict.

(e) In addition to the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture, the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the 2023 Notes: any default in the payment of any Change of Control Payment in respect of the 2023 Notes as when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. Such additional Event of Default is expressly included in this Supplemental Indenture for the benefit of, and shall be solely applicable to, the Securities established by this Supplemental Indenture.

PERRIGO COMPANY

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture dated as of May 16, 2013, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated as of May 16, 2013, by and between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”), to which the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference, is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $            .

The Securities are redeemable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the Indenture to be affected at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of all the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

No holder of any beneficial interest in this Security held on its behalf by a Depositary or a nominee of such Depositary shall have any rights under the Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such Depositary or nominee may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary as Holder of any Security.

This Security may be transferred or exchanged upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) or interest or any Additional Amounts, if any, on this Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

All capitalized terms used in this Security and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
