16. Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

17. Investment Representations. Each Lender represents and warrants to Borrower that:

17.1 Lender is relying on the information provided in the Disclosure Documents or otherwise communicated to Lender in writing by Borrower. Lender has not relied on any statement or representations inconsistent with those contained in the Disclosure Documents. Lender has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the executive officers and directors of Borrower, or one or more of its officers, concerning Borrower and to obtain additional information, to the extent possessed or obtainable without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the information in the Disclosure Documents. All such questions have been answered to Lender’s satisfaction;

17.2 Lender understands that the Shares are being offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or qualification under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, or under the laws of other states, in reliance upon the exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements for non-public offerings. Lender acknowledges and understands that the availability of the aforesaid exemptions depends in part upon the accuracy of certain of the representations, declarations and warranties contained herein, which Lender hereby makes with the intent that they may be relied upon by Borrower and its officers and directors in determining Lender’s suitability to acquire the Shares. Lender understands and acknowledges that no federal, state or other agency has reviewed or endorsed the offering of the Shares or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the offering or completeness of the information in the Disclosure Documents;

17.3 Lender understands that the Shares may not be offered, sold, or transferred in any manner unless subsequently registered under the Act, or unless there is an exemption from such registration available for such offer, sale or transfer;

17.4 Lender has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to enable Lender to utilize the information contained in the Disclosure Documents, or otherwise made available to Lender to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

17.5 Lender is acquiring the Shares solely for Lender’s own account and for long-term investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares; and

17.6 Lender is an “accredited investor,” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

18. Registration Rights.

18.1 Borrower agrees, at its expense, upon written request from the Lenders, to use commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Act, the Shares and to take such other actions as may be necessary to allow the Shares to be freely tradable, without restrictions, in compliance with all regulatory requirements. A written request for registration shall specify the quantity of the Shares intended to be sold, the plan of distribution and the identity of the sellers, which may include the Lender and assignees of its rights hereunder (collectively, “Selling Securities Holders”), and whether the registration shall be pursuant to an underwritten public offering or a “shelf’ registration pursuant to Rule 415 (or similar rule that may be adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission). Borrower shall not be obligated to file more than two such registration statements, other than registration statements on Form S-3. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts keep such registration statements effective for a period of at least nine months, except that registration statements on Form S-3 shall be kept effective for at least three years (or such lesser period as the parties may agree, but in no event beyond the completion of the distribution or distributions being made pursuant thereto). Borrower shall utilize Form S-3 if it qualifies for such use. Borrower shall make all filings required with respect to the registration statements and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such filings to become effective, so that the Shares being registered shall be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for distribution of the Shares covered by the registration statement. Borrower will furnish to the Selling Securities Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act and such other related documents as the Selling Securities Holders may reasonably request in order to effect the sale of the Shares. To effect any offering pursuant to a registration statement under this Section, Borrower shall enter into an agreement containing customary representations and warranties, and indemnification and contribution provisions, all for the benefit of Selling Securities Holders, and, in the case of an underwritten public offering. an underwriting agreement with an investment banking firm selected by the Lender and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, containing such customary representations and warranties, and indemnification and contribution provisions Borrower shall have no obligation to make any cash settlement or payment to the Lenders or any holder of Shares or to issue any additional Shares in the event that Borrower is unable to effect or

maintain in effect the registration of the Shares under the Act or any state securities law despite Borrower’s commercially reasonable efforts so to do.

18.2 If, at any time, Borrower proposes to register any of its securities under the Act (otherwise than pursuant to Section 18.1 above or on a Form S-8 if such form cannot be used for registration of the Shares pursuant to its terms), Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, give written notice to the Lender. Borrower shall include in such registration statement the Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Securities Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the offering of Borrower’s securities is to be made through underwriters, Borrower shall not be required to include the Shares if and to the extent that the managing underwriter reasonably believes in good faith that such inclusion would materially adversely affect such offering unless the Selling Securities Holders agree to postpone their sales until 10 days after the distribution is completed.

18.3 Borrower shall pay the cost of the registration statements filed pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including counsel’s fees and expenses in connection therewith), printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, internal expenses of Borrower, listing fees and expenses, and fees and expenses of Borrower’s counsel, independent accountants and other persons retained or employed by Borrower. Selling Securities Holders shall pay any underwriters discounts applicable to the Shares.

19. Legends. The Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall bear an appropriate legend, conspicuously disclosing the restrictions on transfer under the Act until the same are registered for sale under the Act. Borrower agrees that upon the sale of the Shares pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption, upon the presentation of the certificates containing such a legend to it’s transfer agent, it will remove such legend. Borrower further agrees to remove the legend at such time as registration under the Act shall no longer be required.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

Lender also shall have all other rights, powers, and remedies available under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, or accorded by law or at equity.

(b) No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right, whether before or after an Event of Default, shall impair any such right or shall be construed to be a waiver of any right or default, and the acceptance of any past-due amount at any time by the Lender shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts then or thereafter due and payable. The Lender shall not be deemed, by any act or omission, to have waived any of Lender's rights or remedies under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

(f) It is expressly agreed that if this Note is referred to an attorney or if suit is brought to collect this Note or any amount due under this Note, or to enforce or protect any rights conferred upon Lender by this Note then Borrower promises and agrees to pay on demand all costs, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender in the enforcement of Lender's rights and remedies under this Note, and such other agreements.

(h) This Note shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law.

(i) No provision of this Note shall be construed or so operate as to require the Borrower to pay interest at a greater rate than the maximum allowed by applicable state or federal law. Should any interest or other charges paid or payable by the Borrower in connection with this Note or the Loan result in the computation or earning of interest in excess of the maximum allowed by applicable state or federal law, then any and all such excess shall be and the same is hereby waived by Lender, and any and all such excess paid shall be credited automatically against and in reduction of the outstanding principal balance due of the Loan, and the portion of said excess which exceeds such principal balance shall be paid by Lender to the Borrower.

Any sale, contract to sell, pledge, conveyance, hypothecation, alienation, encumbrance, disposition, assignment, or other transfer of any of the Collateral or any alteration, modification, or amendment of any of the Collateral in a manner that would delay or reduce royalty payments, or the grant of any grace period or extension of time for the performance of any obligation due for the benefit of Debtor or Secured Party under or concerning any of the Collateral made, permitted, or suffered without Secured Party’s prior written consent shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.

6. Additional Covenants of Debtor. In addition to all other covenants and agreements of Debtor set forth in this Agreement, Debtor agrees to (a) give Secured Party thirty (30) days prior written notice of any change in Debtor’s name, state of incorporation or organization, or place of business, or, if Debtor has more than one place of business, its head office or office in which Debtor’s records relating to the Collateral are kept; (b) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may affect Debtor’s title to or Secured Party’s interest in any Collateral; and (c) to keep separate, accurate, and complete records of the Collateral, and to provide Secured Party with such records and such other reports and information relating to Collateral as Secured Party may request from time to time.

7. Certain Notifications and Distributions With Respect To Collateral. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the rights set forth in this Section. Secured Party may at any time, and from time to time, notify Hospira or any successor account debtor that (a) an account or instrument constituting Collateral has been assigned to Secured Party, and (b) all distributions and payments and the performance of all obligations in any way related to the Collateral are to be made directly to Secured Party. If Debtor receives any payments of money, securities, or any tangible or intangible property on account of or with respect to any of the Collateral at any time during which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such payments will be received by Debtor in trust for, and immediately paid over to Secured Party. Any collections received by Secured Party or received by Debtor and delivered to Secured Party shall be applied to the Secured Obligations, first to the expenses of collection, second to the payment of accrued interest, and third to the payment of principal; provided, that any amounts remaining after payment in full of all expenses, interest, and principal shall be returned to Debtor. Secured Party shall have the right to receive, receipt for, endorse, assign, deposit, and deliver, in Secured Party’s name or in the name of Debtor, any and all checks, notes, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money constituting proceeds of or otherwise relating to the Collateral. Debtor hereby authorizes Secured Party to affix, by facsimile signature or otherwise, the general or special endorsement of Debtor, in such manner as Secured Party shall deem advisable, to any such instrument in the event the same has been delivered to Secured Party without appropriate endorsement, and Secured Party and any collecting bank are hereby authorized to consider such an endorsement as being by Debtor to the same extent as though it were manually executed by Debtor, regardless of by whom or under what circumstances or by what authority such facsimile signature or other endorsement is actually affixed, without duty of inquiry or responsibility as to such matters, and Debtor hereby waives demand, presentment, protest, and notice of protest or dishonor and all other notices of every kind and nature with respect to any such instrument.

8. Rights Upon Event of Default.

In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Secured Party shall have the following rights and remedies, all of which may be exercised with or without further notice to Debtor: (i) to directly receive any and all payments and distributions of money, securities or any tangible or intangible property on or in any way related to the Collateral; (ii) to

16. Waivers by Debtor. Debtor expressly waives any right to require Secured Party to (a) proceed against any person, (b) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust Collateral or any part thereof, or (c) pursue any other remedy in Secured Party’s power; and Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other person or entity, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Debtor or any other person or entity. Debtor consents and agrees that Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness of this Agreement: (i) accept new or additional instruments, documents, or agreements in exchange for or relative to any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) accept partial payments on or partial performance of any or all of the Secured Obligations; (iii) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for any or all of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof; (iv) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, and enforce any security or guaranties; (v) apply any Collateral or other security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Secured Party may determine;(vi) consent to the transfer of any Collateral or other security for any or all of the Secured Obligations; and (vii) bid and purchase at any sale of Collateral.
