(1) This calculation is based on 299,108,984 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 11, 2014 as reported in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 26, 2014.


ITEM 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Allergan, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 2525 Dupont Drive, Irvine, CA 92612.

 

ITEM 2. Identity and Background.

(a) – (c); (f) This Schedule 13D is being filed by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., a corporation continued under the laws of British Columbia, Canada (“Valeant”), and Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Valeant (“Valeant USA” and together with Valeant, the “Reporting Persons”). The Reporting Persons have entered into a joint filing agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The Reporting Persons are multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device companies that develop, manufacture, and market a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices). The address of Valeant’s principal business and principal office is 2150 St. Elzéar Blvd. West, Laval, Quebec, Canada, H7L 4A8B, and the address of Valeant USA’s principal business and principal office is 700 Route 202/206 North Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807.

The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted and citizenship of each of the directors and executive officers of Valeant and Valeant USA is set forth in Schedule I hereto incorporated herein by reference.

(d) – (e) None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Pursuant to the agreements described in Item 6 below, Valeant USA contributed $75.9 million of its working capital to PS Fund 1, LLC (“PS Fund 1”), a company formed by Pershing Square. Pershing Square has informed the Reporting Persons that PS Fund 1 used those funds, together with funds contributed by Pershing Square, to purchase the securities that are the subject of this Schedule 13D. As used herein, “Pershing Square” means Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliates.

 

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Valeant currently intends to propose a merger in which the Issuer’s shareholders will receive a combination of cash and Valeant common shares. Valeant has not yet determined the amount of cash and number of Valeant common shares it will offer, but it currently expects the cash component will total around $15 billion. Barclays and Royal Bank of Canada have indicated they are prepared to deliver financing commitments covering the cash portion of the transaction at the time Valeant makes an offer.


Although Valeant currently expects to make an offer, it is under no obligation and provides no assurance it will do so. If Valeant fails to make an offer before May 2, 2014, Pershing Square will have the right to terminate the letter agreement described in Item 6 below and wind up PS Fund 1.

In the course of pursuing a combination with the Issuer or otherwise, the Reporting Persons may consider, propose or take one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Percentage interests in shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D are based on 299,108,984 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 11, 2014 as reported in the Issuer’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 26, 2014. As a result of the agreements described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed members of a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with Pershing Square. The Reporting Persons are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning the Reporting Persons contained herein, but are not responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning Pershing Square.

(a) Neither Reporting Person directly owns any securities of the Issuer. However, as a result of the agreements described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Pershing Square. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in the shares of Common Stock reported herein except to the extent it exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to those shares.

Pershing Square has informed the Reporting Persons that it beneficially owns 28,878,538 shares of Common Stock, or 9.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. These shares include 597,431 shares that PS Fund 1 owns directly, 3,450,000 shares of Common Stock underlying forward purchase contracts and an additional 24,831,107 shares that PS Fund 1 has the right to acquire under American-style call options.

(b) As a result of the agreements described in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote of all shares owned by PS Fund 1, and may be deemed to share the power to dispose or direct the disposition of 597,431 shares of Common Stock owned by PS Fund 1. Each Reporting Person disclaims shared power to vote or direct the vote of any shares of Common Stock except to the extent it exercises voting power with respect to those shares, and each Reporting Person disclaims shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of any shares of Common Stock except to the extent it exercises dispositive power with respect to those shares.

(c) No transactions in shares of Common Stock or options or other derivatives relating to shares of Common Stock were effected by the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons named in Item 2 above during the sixty days prior to the date of this Schedule 13D. Pershing Square has informed the Reporting Persons that Exhibit 99.2 (supplied by Pershing Square) describes all transactions in shares of Common Stock and options or other derivatives relating to shares of Common Stock effected by Pershing Square in the past 60 days.


(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons and except for the respective rights and interests of Valeant USA and Pershing Square in PS Fund 1, no person other than PS Fund 1 is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities reported in this Item 5.

(e) Not applicable.

 

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On February 25, 2014, Valeant and Pershing Square entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed that:

 

    Valeant and Pershing Square will become members in a newly formed jointly owned entity (which thereafter became known as PS Fund 1) and that entity will be the exclusive entity through which Pershing Square will acquire Issuer equity,

 

    Valeant will contribute $75.9 million to the entity, Pershing Square will contribute in its discretion additional amounts to the entity and the entity will purchase equity in the Issuer,

 

    Valeant will not, while Valeant, Pershing Square and/or the entity may be a group, acquire beneficial ownership of Issuer equity, except in a business combination transaction with the Issuer or as a result of transactions by Pershing Square, the entity or any of their respective affiliates,

 

    the entity will dissolve following the earliest to occur of several events, including the consummation of a business combination transaction with the Issuer or at such time that Valeant informs Pershing Square or the Issuer that is no longer interested in pursuing a business combination transaction with the Issuer,

 

    income, gain and loss on $75.9 million in value of shares of Common Stock purchased by the entity will be allocated to Valeant and the remaining net profit realized by the entity will be allocated to Pershing Square, except that Valeant will have a right to 15% of the net profits otherwise allocable to Pershing Square if, before dissolution and at a time when a Valeant business combination proposal for the Issuer is outstanding, a proposal for a third party business combination with the Issuer is outstanding or made,

 

    Valeant will consult with Pershing Square before making any material decisions relating to a business combination with the Issuer,

 

   

Pershing Square will direct the management of the entity (including the manner and timing of purchases and sales of Issuer equity) and will generally decide how the entity votes any securities it owns, except that until the Termination Time (as defined in the letter agreement) the entity will vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of a proposal by Valeant to acquire the Issuer and other proposals supported by Valeant and


 

against proposals reasonably likely to impair the ability of Valeant to consummate a business combination with the Issuer, and, subject to limited exceptions, will not sell or otherwise reduce its economic ownership in Issuer equity,

 

    at the election of Valeant, immediately prior to consummation of a Valeant business combination with the Issuer, Pershing Square will purchase for $400 million Valeant common shares at a per share price reflecting a 15% discount to the then current market price,

 

    if Valeant and the Issuer consummate a business combination transaction that permits stockholders of the Issuer to elect to receive Valeant common shares, Pershing Square will cause the entity to elect to receive Valeant common shares for all shares of Common Stock over which it controls that election, and

 

    if Valeant and the Issuer consummate a business combination transaction, Pershing Square will, on the date of consummation, hold Valeant common shares with a then current value of at least $1.5 billion and, for a period of at least one year after that consummation, it will not sell Valeant common shares unless, after giving effect to the sale, it continues to own at least $1.5 billion in value of Valeant common shares (and during that one year period it will not hedge its investment in that minimum number of shares).

Pershing Square formed PS Fund 1 and, pursuant to and in accordance with the letter agreement, Valeant USA and Pershing Square entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of PS Fund 1 that generally reflected the understandings set forth in the letter agreement. The foregoing summary of the letter agreement and the amended and restated limited liability company agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual language of those agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 99.3 and 99.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the other persons identified in Item 2 above has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

(together with its controlled affiliates, and including any successor thereto, the “Company”) executed in connection with a potential transaction related to Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

  1. Formation of Co-Bidder Entity; Acquisition of Allergan Equity.

(a) Pershing Square and the Company will, promptly following the date of this letter agreement, become members in a newly formed jointly owned entity (the “Co-Bidder Entity”) that will be governed in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement and other customary provisions, which shall purchase Allergan Equity, including the purchase of $75.9 million in value of shares of Allergan Common Stock whose gain or loss will be allocated to the Company (the “Company Allocated Shares”) and additional shares of Allergan Common Stock subject to the next sentence and the last sentence of this paragraph. The Co-Bidder Entity shall not purchase any Allergan Equity in a manner that triggers a requirement to file a Notification and Report Form (the “HSR Form”) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or a Statement on Schedule 13D with respect to Allergan Common Stock (the “Schedule 13D”) without the Company’s prior consent. If the Company shall not have provided such consent within 30 days after receipt of a written request from Pershing Square, Pershing Square may terminate this letter agreement and dissolve the Co-Bidder Entity.


The Company will contribute the $75.9 million to the Co-Bidder Entity in immediately available funds on the second Business Day following the earlier of (x) the 60th day after the date hereof and (y) the date upon which Pershing Square provides notice that the Co-Bidder Entity owns Allergan Equity (including derivatives convertible into Allergan Common Stock) representing beneficial or economic ownership of 4% of the outstanding Allergan Common Stock. The number of Company Allocated Shares shall be equal to (i) $75.9 million divided by (ii) the weighted average price per share of Allergan Common Stock paid by the Co-Bidder Entity for Allergan Common Stock between the date of formation of the Co-Bidder Entity through and including the earlier of (x) and (y) above. Pershing Square shall make such other contributions to the Co-Bidder Entity from time to time in its discretion as may be required to purchase the Allergan Equity it decides that the Co-Bidder Entity should acquire.

(b) On the date the Schedule 13D is filed by the Co-Bidder Entity or Pershing Square, as applicable, related to Allergan (the “Disclosure Date”) or as promptly as possible thereafter, Pershing Square shall cause the Co-Bidder Entity to file an HSR Form and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause the expiration or termination of any waiting period thereunder.

(c) Pershing Square agrees that the Co-Bidder Entity will be the exclusive person or entity through which Pershing Square, or any of its affiliates, shall become the beneficial owner of Allergan Equity and that, at the Company’s request, it will update the Company with respect to any purchases or other transactions of Allergan Equity by the Co-Bidder Entity.

(d) Prior to making any material decision relating to a Company Transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any proxy contest, proxy solicitation, written consent solicitation or other action relating to or potentially affecting the composition of the board of directors of Allergan), the Company will consult with Pershing Square and will consider in good faith Pershing Square’s comments on such prospective actions; provided that the parties acknowledge that no steps have been taken towards a tender or exchange offer for securities of Allergan and the parties agree that the consent of both Pershing Square and the Company shall be required for launching such a tender offer or an exchange offer. If a Company Transaction is being pursued by the Company through a tender or exchange offer or a merger or any related proxy or other solicitation prior to the Termination Time, each of the Company, Pershing Square and the Co-Bidder Entity will be identified as co-bidders or soliciting persons, respectively.

(e) Pershing Square will direct the management of the Co-Bidder Entity, including, subject to this Section 1 and Section 4(b), the manner and timing of purchases and sales of Allergan Equity, and any vote with respect to the Allergan Equity, it being understood that, until the Termination Time, the Co-Bidder Entity will vote all of its shares of Allergan Common Stock (i) in favor of a Qualifying Transaction Proposal and other proposals supported by the Company and (ii) against any proposal which would be reasonably likely to impair the ability to consummate the Company Transaction.

  2. Acquisition Financing and Post-Acquisition Matters.

(a) Immediately prior to the consummation of a Company Transaction, at the Company’s election, Pershing Square shall contribute to the funding of the consideration payable under the Company Transaction through the payment to the Company’s designated wholly owned merger subsidiary of $400,000,000 in immediately available funds, and the Company shall cause to be delivered to Pershing Square, the number of common shares, no par value, of the Company (“Company Common Shares”) equal to (i) $400,000,000 divided by (ii) a price per Company Common Share equal to the market price for purposes of the Toronto Stock Exchange requirements on the date of exercise of the Company’s election, less a discount of 15 percent, provided that the Company shall have received all necessary governmental, regulatory and stockholder approvals in connection with such contribution.

(b) If a Company Transaction is consummated that permits the shareholders of Allergan to elect to receive consideration in the form of either cash or Company Common Shares in respect of their Allergan Common Stock, Pershing Square will cause the Co-Bidder Entity to elect to receive Company Common Shares for all the Allergan Common Stock over which it controls such election.

(c) If a Company Transaction is consummated, as of the date of consummation of the Company Transaction, Pershing Square will, directly or indirectly, hold a number of Company Common Shares equal to at least $1.5 billion divided by the Market Price of the Company Common Shares on the date of such consummation. Thereafter, for a period of one year following the consummation of the Company Transaction, Pershing Square will not, directly or indirectly, sell or transfer or otherwise dispose of any Company Common Shares which it beneficially owns or any economic interest therein unless, after giving effect to such disposition, and calculated at the time of such disposition, its investment in the Company Common Shares is no less than the number of Company Common Shares equal to $1.5 billion divided by the Market Price of the Company Common Shares on the date of such disposition, and, during such one-year period, Pershing Square will not, directly or indirectly, hedge its investment in such minimum number of Company Common Shares. As used herein, “Market Price” of Company Common Shares on any day means the average of the volume weighted average prices of the Company Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on each of the five trading days preceding such day. The Company and Pershing Square shall enter into a mutually acceptable registration rights agreement that provides reasonable and customary demand registration rights, at the Company’s expense, with respect to all of Pershing Square’s share holdings in the Company.

(d) The Company agrees that, except as expressly provided by this letter agreement, at any time during which the Company and Pershing Square and/or the Co-Bidder Entity may be deemed a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), it shall not, and shall cause its Representatives and affiliates not to, acquire beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(1) of the Exchange

Act) of Allergan Equity, except as a result of the consummation of a Company Transaction or as a result of transactions by Pershing Square, the Co-Bidder Entity or any of their respective affiliates.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this letter agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this letter agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the party incurring such cost or expense.

 

  3. Dissolution and Profit Sharing.

(a) The Co-Bidder Entity shall dissolve at the earliest of (i) the parties’ mutual agreement to dissolve the Co-Bidder Entity, (ii) the consummation of a Company Transaction, (iii) the Company’s election, by written notice to Pershing Square, following the closing of a Third Party Transaction, (iv) the sale by the Co-Bidder Entity of all of the Allergan Equity owned by it following the Disclosure Date, (v) the termination of this letter agreement pursuant to Section 1, and (vi) the termination of this letter agreement as a result of the Termination Time occurring pursuant to Section 5(a), 5(b) or 5(c) (the “Dissolution Date”), at which time (A) the Co-Bidder Entity’s assets shall be valued (with publicly traded securities valued based on the closing price of the securities on the first business day prior to the Dissolution Date), (B) there shall be allocated to the Company’s capital account, all of the income, gains and losses on the Company Allocated Shares and, if prior to the Dissolution Date a Company Transaction shall not have been consummated and a Third Party Transaction Proposal is made or outstanding at a time when a Qualifying Transaction Proposal or any other acquisition proposal by the Company is outstanding, an amount equal to 15% of the Net Transaction Profits in respect of Allergan Equity other than the Company Allocated Shares, and (C) the Co-Bidder Entity shall thereupon liquidate and distribute its remaining assets pro rata in accordance with its capital accounts within ten (10) calendar days after the Dissolution Date (it being understood that the Co-Bidder Entity will distribute 15% of the Net Transaction Profits to the Company in cash and/or securities in the same form and in the same proportion that it owns and that there will be no distributions from the Co-Bidder Entity prior to the Dissolution Date).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a business combination that is consummated involving Allergan and the Company, the Company shall not be entitled to an allocation of any Net Transaction Profits other than those arising from the Company Allocated Shares.

(c) The Co-Bidder Entity shall not enter into a transaction involving any person or entity affiliated with Pershing Square with a view to avoiding or minimizing the making of any payment required to be made under this Section 3.

 

  4. Securities Matters.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2 of the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary and subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, the Company hereby consents to the purchase of, and other transactions in or relating to, the Allergan Equity by the Co-Bidder Entity, whether directly or indirectly.

(b) Subject to Section 5 below, other than (i) converting derivative positions into Allergan Common Stock, (ii) in a Company Transaction, (iii) with the written consent of the Company, (iv) subject to Section 2(c), after a vote by the shareholders of Allergan on a Company Transaction, or (v) prior to the earlier of (A) the making of a Qualified Transaction Proposal and (B) ten (10) calendar days before the Disclosure Date, the Co-Bidder Entity may not sell or otherwise reduce its economic ownership in Allergan Equity.

(a) The Manager, affiliates of the Manager and any of their respective members, managers, equity holders, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers, representatives or agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, shall have no liability to any Member or the Company for (a) any actions or inactions arising out of or in connection with the Company, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company unless such action or inaction was taken or not taken in bad faith or constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct or violated the terms hereof or of the Relationship Agreement, or (b) losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) and amounts paid in settlement of any actual or threatened claim, proceeding or action, whether judicial, administrative, investigative or otherwise (each, a “Loss” or, collectively, “Losses”) due to the action or inaction or to the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any broker or agent of the Company, provided that such broker or agent was selected, engaged and retained by the Company with reasonable care. Each of the Indemnified Persons may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of Company’s affairs and shall be fully protected and justified in any action or inaction which is taken in accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel and/or accountants, provided that such counsel and/or accountants were selected with reasonable care. For purposes of clarification, the Company (and not any Indemnified Person) shall be responsible for any losses resulting from trading errors and similar human errors, absent bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 17 shall not be construed (i) so as to provide for the exculpation of any Indemnified Person for any liability (including liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such liability may not be waived, modified or limited under applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 17 to the fullest extent permitted by law or (ii) to waive or release the Manager from any liabilities arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Agreement or the Relationship Agreement.

Section 18. Indemnification.

(a) Each Indemnified Person, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, shall be indemnified by the Company from and against any Losses sustained by reason of (a) any action or inaction or alleged action or inaction arising out of or in connection with the Company, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company, provided that such action or inaction or alleged action or inaction was not performed or omitted in bad faith and did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Indemnified Person and did not constitute a violation of the terms hereof or of the Relationship Agreement by such Indemnified Person, or (b) the negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any broker or agent of the Company, provided that such broker or agent was selected, engaged and retained with reasonable care. For purposes of clarification, the Company (and not any Indemnified Person) shall be responsible for any losses resulting from trading errors and similar human errors, absent bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(b) The Valeant Member, affiliates of the Valeant Member and any of their respective members, managers, equity holders, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers, representatives or agents (for purposes of Section 18(c) only, such Persons shall be included as “Indemnified Persons”), to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, shall be indemnified by the Company from and against any Losses sustained by reason of any breach of, or inaccuracy of, Section 19 of this Agreement. The indemnification provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 18(b) shall not relate to any matter other than Section 19 and shall not affect the calculation of Net Transaction Profits.

(c) The provision of advances from the Company’s capital to an Indemnified Person for reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the defense of any action or proceeding that is entitled to indemnification under this Section 18 is permissible, in the sole discretion of the Manager, provided that such Indemnified Person undertakes to repay the advanced funds to the Manager if it is ultimately determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to such indemnification under Section 18.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 18 shall not be construed so as to provide for the indemnification of an Indemnified Person for any liability (including liability under Federal securities laws which, under certain circumstances, impose liability even on Persons that act in good faith), to the extent (but only to the extent) that such indemnification would be in violation of applicable law, but shall be construed so as to effectuate the provisions of this Section 18 to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(e) If United States withholding tax is imposed on the Company or any other Member by reason of income allocated or cash distributed to a Member (the “Indemnifying Member”), the Indemnifying Member agrees to indemnify the Company or such other Members, respectively.

(f) None of the information provided by any Member (in the case of the Valeant Member, including by Valeant Parent) to any other Member for inclusion in any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the securities commission of any province of Canada or any other regulatory filing made by any Member (in the case of the Valeant Member, including by Valeant Parent) in connection with the pursuit of transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Relationship Agreement, will, at the respective times of the filing of such documents, at any time such documents are amended or supplemented or at the time of any distribution or dissemination of such documents, as applicable, contain any statement that, in light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to any material fact required to be stated therein or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Each Member (in the case of the Valeant Member, including Valeant Parent) shall indemnify the other Members and each of such Members’ respective members, managers, equity holders, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers, representatives or agents from and against any Losses sustained by reason of its breach of the first sentence of this Section 18(f).

Section 19. Representation. Each of the Manager and the Company represents to the Valeant Member that the Company was formed solely for the purpose described in Section 3(a) and, since the date of its formation, has not engaged in any activities, acquired any assets or incurred any liabilities, except for activities conducted, assets acquired and liabilities incurred which would be permissible for it to conduct, acquire or incur under Section 3(a).

Section 20. Affiliate Transactions. The Company shall not enter into a transaction involving any person or entity affiliated with the Manager that would reduce any payment required to be made under Section 3 of the Relationship Agreement.

Section 21. Notice. Each notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person, by registered or certified mail, by Federal Express or similar overnight courier service, by electronic mail (e-mail) or by facsimile. All notices to the Company shall be addressed to its principal office and place of business (if delivered personally or by post). All notices addressed to the Manager shall be addressed to 888 Seventh Avenue, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10019. All notices addressed to the Valeant Member shall be addressed to 700 Route 202/206 North Bridgewater, New Jersey 08807.

Section 22. Third Party Rights. Except for the provisions of Sections 17 and 18, the provisions of this Agreement are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or other Person (other than the Members in their capacities as such) to which any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise have a claim against or dealings with) the Company or any Member, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no such creditor or other Person shall obtain any rights under any of such provisions (whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise) or shall by reason of any such provisions have a right to make any claim in respect to any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) including any debt, liability or obligation against the Company or any Member.

Section 23. No Fiduciary Duty. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on the Manager or any Member, or any of their respective affiliates, or any of the Manager’s or any Member’s or their respective affiliate’s members, managers, equity holders, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers, representatives or agents (collectively, the “Released Persons”). Furthermore, each of the Members and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties with respect to the Company that, absent such waiver, may be implied by applicable law, including the Act, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligation of each Released Person to each other and to the Company in respect of the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the Relationship Agreement are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Relationship Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement and the Relationship Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Released Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Released Person. Whenever in this Agreement or the Relationship Agreement a Released Person is permitted or required to make a decision (including a decision that is in such Released Person’s discretion or under a grant of similar authority or latitude), the Released Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Released Person desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other person (other than in all cases as expressly provided by this Agreement or the Relationship Agreement). Whenever in this Agreement a Released Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Released Person’s good faith, the Released Person shall act under such express standard as interpreted for contract law purposes and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other applicable law.

Section 24. Integration. This Agreement, the Relationship Agreement and the letter agreement, dated February 9, 2014, between the Manager and Valeant Parent constitute the

entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith.

Section 25. Headings. The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and are not to be considered in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement. References to “Section” in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the indicated Section of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Section 26. Counterparts. Counterparts may be executed through the use of separate signature pages or in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the parties executing such counterparts had all executed one counterpart. Each party understands and agrees that any portable document format (PDF) file, facsimile or other reproduction of its signature on any counterpart shall be equal to and enforceable as its original signature and that any such reproduction shall be a counterpart hereof that is fully enforceable in any court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction.

Section 27. Choice of Law. Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any of the parties hereto, the parties expressly agree that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be entirely performed in such state and, without limitation thereof, that the Act as now adopted or as may be hereafter amended shall govern all limited liability company aspects of this Agreement.
