3.1 Generally.

For purposes of calculating severance benefits pursuant to this Section 3, any reduction in an Employee’s annual base salary or annual target bonus during the Change in Control Protection Period shall be disregarded.

3.2 Tier I Employees. Subject to Section 3.7 and Section 5 hereof, the Company shall pay to each Tier I Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of his or her then annual base salary plus his or her annual target bonus for the year in which the Severance occurs.

Control Protection Period. For the avoidance of doubt, such payment shall not include an amount in respect of COBRA premiums.

3.4 Health & Dental Benefit Continuation. Subject to Section 3.7 and Section 5 hereof, in the case of each Eligible Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period, commencing on the date immediately following such Eligible Employee’s Severance Date and continuing for the period set forth below (the “Welfare Benefit Continuation Period”), the Company shall provide to each such Eligible Employee and anyone entitled to claim under or through such employee all Company-paid benefits under any group health plan and dental plan of the Company (as in effect immediately prior to such employee’s Severance Date or, if more favorable to such employee, immediately prior to the Change in Control) for which employees of the Company are eligible, to the same extent as if such employee had continued to be an employee of the Company during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period. To the extent that such employee’s participation in Company benefit plans is not practicable, the Company shall arrange to provide, at the Company’s sole expense, such employee and anyone entitled to claim under or through such employee with equivalent health and dental benefits under an alternative arrangement during the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period. The coverage period for purposes of the group health continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code shall commence at the expiration of the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period.

3.6 Legal Fees. The Company shall reimburse each Eligible Employee whose termination of employment occurs during the Change in Control Protection Period for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by such Eligible Employee in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit provided under Section 3 of this Plan (other than any such fees and expenses incurred in pursuing any claim determined by an arbitrator or by a court of competent jurisdiction to be frivolous or not to have been brought in good faith).

3.7 Release. No Eligible Employee who incurs a Severance during the Change in Control Protection Period shall be eligible to receive any payments or other benefits under the Plan unless he or she first executes a written release substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule A and does not revoke such release within the time permitted therein for such revocation. Such release and waiver of claims must be signed within twenty-one (21) days (or such longer period as mandated by applicable employment laws) following the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date.

3.8 Payment of Benefits. Subject to Section 7.11 hereof, all payments required to be made hereunder to an Eligible Employee shall be made in a cash lump sum on the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date, or, if later, on the eighth (8^th) day following the expiration of the release consideration period required by applicable law; provided, however, that in each case the release contemplated by Section 3.7 has been executed and has become non-revocable prior to any payment hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent the Eligible Employee incurs a Severance following a Change in Control but prior to a change in ownership or control of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, amounts payable to any Eligible Employee hereunder, to the extent not in excess of the amount that the Eligible Employee would have received under Section 2 of this Plan or any other pre-Change-in-Control severance plan or arrangement with the Company had such plan or arrangement been applicable, shall be paid at the time and in the manner provided by such plan or arrangement and the remainder shall be paid to the Eligible Employee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.8.

4.2 The Plan Administrator may delegate any of its duties hereunder to such person or persons from time to time as it may designate.

4.3 The Plan Administrator is empowered, on behalf of the Plan, to engage accountants, legal counsel and such other personnel as it deems necessary or advisable to assist it in the performance of its duties under the Plan. The functions of any such persons engaged by the Plan Administrator shall be limited to the specified services and duties for which they are engaged, and such persons shall have no other duties, obligations or responsibilities under the Plan. Such persons shall exercise no discretionary authority or discretionary control respecting the management of the Plan. All reasonable expenses thereof shall be borne by the Company.


SECTION 5.		EXCISE TAX.

If any payment or benefit received or to be received by an Eligible Employee (including any payment or benefit received pursuant to the Plan or otherwise) would be (in whole or part) subject to the excise tax described in Section 4999 of Code, then, to the extent necessary to make such payments and benefits not subject to such excise tax, payments and benefits provided hereunder shall be reduced by the Plan Administrator in consultation with the Eligible Employee.


SECTION 6.		PLAN MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION.

The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Board at any time; provided, however, that (i) no termination or amendment may reduce the benefits or payments under the Plan to an Eligible Employee if the Eligible Employee’s Severance Date has occurred prior to such termination or amendment and (ii) during the pendency of the Potential Change in Control (and for a period of six months thereafter), as well as during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Plan may not be terminated, nor may the Plan be amended if such amendment would in any manner be adverse to the interests of any Eligible Employee (it being understood, however, that clause (ii) shall not preclude the Plan from being amended to bring it into compliance with Section 409A of the Code). During the periods referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, but not during any other period, any reduction in an Eligible Employee’s Pay Grade or any redesignation of any such employee to a less favorable tier shall be disregarded for purposes of the Plan.


SECTION 7.		GENERAL PROVISIONS.

7.1 Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, in whole or in part, either directly or by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation by execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or in any manner; no attempted assignment or transfer thereof shall be effective; and no right or interest of any Eligible Employee under the Plan shall be liable for, or subject to, any obligation or liability of such Eligible Employee. When a payment is due under this Plan to a severed employee who is unable to care for his or her affairs, payment may be made directly to his or her legal guardian or personal representative.

7.2 If the Company or any domestic subsidiary thereof is obligated by law or by contract to pay severance pay, a termination indemnity, notice pay, or the like, or if the Company or any domestic subsidiary thereof is obligated by law to provide advance notice of separation (“Notice Period”), then any severance pay hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of any such severance pay, termination indemnity, notice pay or the like, as applicable, and by the amount of any compensation received during any Notice Period.

7.3 Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Eligible Employee, or any person whomsoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, and all Eligible Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

7.4 If any provision of this Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

7.5 This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties, including each Eligible Employee, present and future, and any successor to the Company. If a severed employee shall die while any amount would still be payable to such severed employee hereunder if the severed employee had

continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the executor, personal representative or administrators of the severed employee’s estate.

7.6 The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

7.7 The Plan shall not be funded. No Eligible Employee shall have any right to, or interest in, any assets of any Company which may be applied by the Company to the payment of benefits or other rights under this Plan.

7.8 Any notice or other communication required or permitted pursuant to the terms hereof shall have been duly given when delivered or mailed by United States Mail, first class, postage prepaid, addressed to the intended recipient at his, her or its last known address.

7.9 This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the extent not preempted by federal law, which shall otherwise control.

7.10 All benefits hereunder shall be reduced by applicable withholding and shall be subject to applicable tax reporting, as determined by the Plan Administrator.

7.11 Conditions to Payment and Acceleration; Section 409A of the Code. The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Eligible Employee shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Plan and no payments shall be due to the Eligible Employee under this Plan until such Eligible Employee would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of this Plan, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described herein that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment (or death, if earlier). To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Eligible Employee under this Plan shall be paid to the Eligible Employee on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Eligible Employee) during any one year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year; provided, however, that with

respect to any reimbursements for any taxes which the Eligible Employee would become entitled to under the terms of the Plan, the payment of such reimbursements shall be made by the Company no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Eligible Employee remits the related taxes.

If an extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant before the end of the initial ninety (90)-day period.

This notice of extension will describe the special circumstances necessitating the additional time and the date by which the Plan Administrator is to render his or her decision on the application. If written notice of denial of the application for benefits is not furnished within the specified time, the application shall be deemed to be denied. The applicant will then be permitted to appeal the denial in accordance with the Review Procedure described below.

8.3 Request for a Review. Any person (or that person’s authorized representative) for whom an application for benefits is denied (or deemed denied), in whole or in part, may appeal the denial by submitting a request for a review to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the application is denied (or deemed denied). The Plan Administrator will give the applicant (or his or her representative) an opportunity to review pertinent documents in preparing a request for a review and submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. A request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to:

Plan Administrator
c/o Mylan Inc.
1500 Corporate Drive
Canonsburg, PA 15317

With a copy to:
Senior Vice President and Global General Counsel
Mylan Inc.
1500 Corporate Drive
Canonsburg, PA 15317

A request for review must set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters that the applicant feels are pertinent. The Plan Administrator may require the applicant to submit additional facts, documents or other material as he or she may find necessary or appropriate in making his or her review.

8.4 Decision on Review. The Plan Administrator will act on each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request, unless special circumstances require an extension of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days), for processing the request for a review. If an extension for review is required, written notice of the extension will be furnished to the applicant within the initial sixty (60)-day period. The Plan Administrator will give prompt, written notice of his or her decision to the applicant. In the event that the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, the notice will outline, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant, the specific Plan provisions upon which the decision is based. If written notice of the Plan Administrator’s decision is not given to the applicant within the time prescribed in this Section 8.4 the application will be deemed denied on review.

8.5 Rules and Procedures. The Plan Administrator may establish rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as necessary and appropriate in carrying out his or her responsibilities in reviewing benefit claims. The Plan Administrator may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial (or deemed denial) of benefits to do so at the applicant’s own expense.

8.6 Exhaustion of Remedies. No legal action for benefits under the Plan may be brought until the claimant (i) has submitted a written application for benefits in accordance with the procedures described by Section 8.1 above, (ii) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied (or the application is deemed denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to act on it within the established time period), (iii) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with the appeal procedure described in Section 8.3 above and (iv) has been notified in writing that the Plan Administrator has denied the appeal (or the appeal is deemed to be denied due to the Plan Administrator’s failure to take any action on the claim within the time prescribed by Section 8.4 above).
