Repayment of the loans will be due 60 days after the Closing Date in the case of the Cash Bridge Credit Agreement and 360 days after the Closing Date in the case of the Debt Bridge Credit Agreement. As of September 28, 2013, no loans were outstanding under the Bridge Credit Agreements.

The Permanent Credit Agreements provide senior unsecured financing in aggregate principal amounts of $1.0 billion under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (provided through tranche 1 in the amount of $300 million maturing as of the second anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date and tranche 2 in the amount of $700 million maturing as of the fifth anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date) and up to $600 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement that will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Acquisition Closing Date. Obligations of PCL under the Permanent Credit Agreements are guaranteed by Perrigo, certain domestic subsidiaries of Perrigo and, following completion of the Elan Acquisition, by Elan and certain subsidiaries of Elan. Both tranches of the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be funded as of the Acquisition Closing Date, and funding under the Revolving Credit Agreement will become available as of the Acquisition Closing Date. Amounts outstanding under each of the Permanent Credit Agreements will bear interest at PCL’s option (a) at the alternative base rate or (b) the eurodollar rate plus, in either case, applicable margins as set forth in the Permanent Credit Agreements. As of September 28, 2013, no loans were outstanding under the Permanent Credit Agreements. PCL capitalized $8,406,012 related to deferred financing and expensed $186,667 related to interest expense that was paid by Perrigo. The deferred financing fees were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and relate to the Permanent Credit Agreements.
