(ix) (A) all Indemnification Obligations owed to any Indemnified Persons in accordance with Section 5.19(b)(i) of the Chapter 11 Plan; provided, that, with respect to Indemnification Obligations related to the GUC Trust Litigation Consideration (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan), the Buyers shall only assume Indemnification Obligations (i) owed to any Indemnified Person and (ii) solely to the extent of any defense costs (and not to satisfy any judgment or settlement); provided, further, that, all Indemnification Obligations shall be excess over and will not contribute with all valid and collectible insurance, whenever purchased, whether such insurance is stated to be primary, contributing, excess, contingent or otherwise; and (B) to pay, defend, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless any directors (including any Persons in analogous roles under applicable Law), managers, officers, employees, or agents of the Endo Companies from and against any and all Liability to the extent arising out of, resulting from, or attributable to any non-action or action such parties or entities take, cause to be taken, or cause to be done in relation to any Consent, Permit, or Regulatory Approvals, including, but not limited to, making or amending any filings, submissions, notices, communications or otherwise appearing before any Governmental Authority as required for any such Consent, Permit, or Regulatory Approval in accordance with Section 9.2 of this Agreement and 5.19(b)(ii) of the Chapter 11 Plan;

For avoidance of doubt, the Intercompany Receivables in respect of the loans granted by Finco I to PFPL; and (b) loans granted by Finco II to PFPL and PAT, which were subsequently transferred by Finco II to Finco I, shall not be considered as Excluded Assets.
37
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Endo Companies hereby acknowledge and agree that the Buyers are not assuming, nor are in any way responsible for, the Excluded Liabilities. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall in no way expand the rights or remedies of any third party against the Buyers or the Endo Companies as compared to the rights and remedies that such third party would have had against the Endo Companies or the Buyers absent the Bankruptcy Cases or the Buyers’ assumption of the applicable Assumed Liabilities. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, the Buyers are not assuming and shall not be liable for any Liabilities of the Endo Companies.
Section 2.4 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyers are not assuming any Liability that is not an Assumed Liability (the “Excluded Liabilities”), and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Assumed Liabilities” shall expressly exclude the following Liabilities of the Sellers, all of which shall be retained by the Sellers:
(a) those liabilities listed in Section 2.4(a) of the Disclosure Letter;
(b) any and all Liabilities for Excluded Taxes;
(c) any and all Liabilities of the Sellers under any Excluded Contract whether accruing prior to, at, or after the Closing Date;
(d) any and all Liabilities (i) retained by the Sellers pursuant to Section 5.4 or the Chapter 11 Plan or (ii) arising in respect of or relating to any Business Employee to the extent arising prior to Closing except any Liabilities assumed by Buyers pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 5.4;
(e) any and all Liabilities, arising or accrued at any time, in any way attributable to the employment or service of former employees, directors or consultants of the Endo Companies or any current or former Subsidiary of the Endo Companies who do not become Transferred Employees, except for (i) any Liabilities relating to the Assumed Plans, and (ii) the Buyers’ obligation to provide COBRA continuation coverage as described in Section 5.4(k);
(f) any Indebtedness of the Sellers (but not of the Specified Subsidiaries); provided, that (i) any Liabilities of the type described in Section 2.3(a)(v) and Section 2.3(a)(vi) shall be assumed by the Buyers and (ii) any Indebtedness of the Sellers set forth in Section 2.4(f) of the Disclosure Letter shall be assumed by the Buyers;

(l) any and all Liabilities or obligations arising out of or relating to any of the Endo Companies having been in violation of any applicable Canadian Laws (including any Canadian consumer protection Laws or Canadian Information Privacy and Security Laws) at any time prior to Closing, except to the extent such Liabilities or obligations are Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims, or Priority Tax Claims.
Section 2.5 Consents to Certain Assignments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall not constitute an agreement to transfer or assign any asset, permit, claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention under any agreement or Law to which any Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Sellers or, upon transfer, the Buyers under such asset, permit, claim or right, unless the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code permits and/or the Confirmation Order authorizes the assumption and assignment of such asset, permit, claim, or right irrespective of the consent or lack thereof of a third party. If, with respect to any Transferred Asset, such consent is not obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Confirmation Order, then such Transferred Asset shall not be transferred hereunder, and, without prejudice to any of the conditions to the obligations of the Buyers as set forth in Section 7.3 hereof, the Closing shall proceed with respect to the remaining Transferred Assets; provided that nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall require any Seller, the Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates to make any payment (other than as required in the applicable contract or permit or in the Chapter 11 Plan) or initiate any Action (other than Actions for relief from the Bankruptcy Court) to transfer any Transferred Asset as contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
39
(b) If (i) notwithstanding the applicable provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Confirmation Order and the commercially reasonable efforts of the Sellers and the Buyers, any consent is not obtained prior to Closing and as a result thereof the Buyers shall be prevented by a third party from receiving the rights and benefits with respect to a Transferred Asset intended to be transferred hereunder, (ii) any attempted assignment of a Transferred Asset would adversely affect the rights of the Sellers thereunder so that the Buyers would not in fact receive all the rights and benefits contemplated or (iii) any Transferred Asset is not otherwise capable of sale and/or assignment (after giving effect to the Confirmation Order and the Bankruptcy Code), then, in each case, during the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers shall, subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required, at the written request of the Buyers, cooperate with the Buyers in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which the Buyers would, to the extent practicable, obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under such asset and assume the economic burdens and obligations with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement, including by subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to the applicable Buyer. Without limiting the foregoing, during the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers shall promptly pay to the Buyers when received all monies received by the applicable Sellers under such Transferred Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder and the Buyers shall indemnify, defend, hold harmless and promptly pay the Sellers for all Liabilities of the Sellers associated with such arrangement in accordance with the terms and conditions of such arrangements.
Section 2.6 Contract Designation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in the Chapter 11 Plan or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Chapter 11 Plan, as of and subject to the occurrence of the effective date of the Chapter 11 Plan (the “Effective Date”), all Contracts (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any insurance policies and binders that are Transferred Assets and any settlement agreements and leases with respect to real property) related to the Transferred Assets and/or the Business or otherwise used, or held for use, in connection with the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities and/or the Business, in each case excluding any Contracts in relation to the business, assets and properties of the Specified Subsidiaries (each, an “Executory Contract”) shall be deemed Transferred Contracts unless such contract or lease (i) was previously rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; or (ii) is identified for rejection on the Rejection Schedule (as defined in the Chapter 11 Plan).
(b) The Endo Companies previously served the Cure Notice to all counterparties to any Executory Contracts which described the monetary amounts that must be paid and nonmonetary obligations that otherwise must be satisfied, including pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, in order for the Endo Companies to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, the Transferred Contracts to the Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement (“Undisputed Cure Claims”). To the extent a counterparty to an Executory Contract objects or otherwise challenges the Undisputed Cure Claims determined by the Endo Companies and asserts that a different monetary amount must be paid and/or nonmonetary obligations otherwise must be satisfied, including pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, in order for the Endo Companies to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, such Executory Contract to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) pursuant to this Agreement, the difference between the Undisputed Cure Claims determined by the Endo Companies and such amounts and/or nonmonetary obligations determined by such counterparty shall be referred to as the “Disputed Cure Claims.” The procedures governing Disputed Cure Claims are set forth in Section 7.3 of the Chapter 11 Plan.
40
(c) No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Buyers may, in their sole discretion, designate in writing any Executory Contract as a Transferred Contract to be assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, to the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement or designate in writing any previously designated Transferred Contract as an Excluded Contract; provided, that, with respect to any newly designated Transferred Contracts, the Endo Companies shall promptly (x) file and serve notice on the applicable counterparties setting forth the Endo Companies’ intention to assume or assume and assign, as applicable, such Executory Contracts to the applicable Buyer or Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) (which notice shall include the applicable proposed Cure Claims) and (y) file or otherwise make any necessary motions before the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of such assumption and assignment. Upon request of the Buyers, the Endo Companies will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Buyers with (i) copies of each Contract and (ii) information as to the Liabilities under each Contract sufficient for the Buyer to make a reasonably informed assessment whether to designate any Contract as an Excluded Asset. For clarity, subject to Section 2.6(b), any Executory Contract not designated by the Buyers as a Transferred Contract pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be automatically designated as an Excluded Contract. Subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date and consummation of the Closing, the Sellers shall pay the Cure Claims (including the Undisputed Cure Claims) and cure any and all other undisputed defaults and breaches under the Transferred Contracts so that such Transferred Contracts may be assumed or assumed and assigned, as applicable, by the applicable Endo Company and assigned to the applicable Buyer or Buyers or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) in accordance with the provisions of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and this Agreement; provided that, (A) the Buyers shall pay any Disputed Cure Claim associated with the assumption of a Transferred Contract that is an Executory Contract pursuant to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court or mutual agreement between the Endo Companies, the Buyers and the counterparty to the applicable Transferred Contract which has not been resolved as of the Closing, and (B) such payment shall, in the case of any Cure Claim, be made as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing and, in the case of any Disputed Cure Claim, pursuant to an Order of the Bankruptcy Court provided, that the parties do not reach a negotiated settlement regarding such Disputed Cure Claim. To the extent any Transferred Contract is subject to a Cure Claim, the Sellers shall pay such Cure Claim directly to the applicable counterparty. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyers shall only assume, and shall only be responsible for, Contracts designated by them as Transferred Contracts.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Executory Contract shall not be a Transferred Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by the Sellers and assigned to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) to the extent that such Executory Contract (i) expires by its terms (and is not extended) on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by the Sellers and assigned to the applicable Buyer or the Specified Subsidiaries (as applicable) as a Transferred Contract hereunder or (ii) requires any (x) approval, consent, ratification, permission, waiver or authorization, or an Order of the Bankruptcy Court that deems or renders the foregoing unnecessary (each of the foregoing, a “Consent”) or (y) Permit (other than, and in addition to, that of the Bankruptcy Court), in the case of each of (x) and (y), in order to permit the sale or transfer to the applicable Buyer of the applicable Seller’s rights under such Executory Contract in
41
accordance with applicable Law, and such Consent or Permit has not been obtained. In the event that any Executory Contract that would otherwise have been assigned to the Buyers is deemed not to be assigned pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 2.6(d), the Closing shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VII, nonetheless take place subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and, thereafter, through the earliest of (w) such time as such Consent or Permit is obtained, (x) the expiration of the term of such Executory Contract in accordance with its current terms, (y) the execution of a replacement Executory Contract by the Buyers, and (z) the end of the Wind-Down Period, the Sellers and the Buyers shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such Consent or Permit as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (B) cooperate in good faith in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement proposed by the Buyers, including subcontracting, licensing, or sublicensing to the Buyers any or all of any Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to any such Executory Contract, under which (1) the Buyers shall receive the claims, rights, remedies and benefits under, or arising pursuant to, the terms of such Executory Contract with respect to which the Consent and/or Permit has not been obtained and (2) subject to receiving any such claims, rights, remedies and benefits, the Buyers shall thereafter assume and bear all Assumed Liabilities with respect to such Executory Contract from and after the Closing (as if such Executory Contract had been transferred to the Buyers as of the Closing) in accordance with this Agreement (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). Upon satisfying any requisite Consent or Permit requirement applicable to such Executory Contract after the Closing, such Executory Contract shall promptly be transferred and assigned to the applicable Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Bankruptcy Code, and otherwise without any further additional consideration. Without limitation of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Endo Companies shall cooperate with the Buyers in connection with obtaining any Consent, Permit, Regulatory Approval, including by providing the Buyers with reasonable access to and facilitating discussions with the applicable counterparties (provided that the Buyers shall provide Sellers a reasonable opportunity to consult with the Buyers, and, if reasonably practicable, an opportunity to be present (but not participate) at any meeting) in respect of such Consents, Permit or Regulatory Approval and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyers with obtaining such Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, with respect to any Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval reasonably required for the Buyers to operate the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business, the Endo Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, sell, assign, transfer, convey or make or cause to be obtained, sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or made, by or for the benefit of the Buyers, any such Consent, Permit and/or Regulatory Approval or filing or application therefore, as required pursuant to Law, as reasonably required for the Buyers to continue the Business after the Closing in the Ordinary Course of Business, and the Buyers shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Endo Companies in connection therewith as reasonably requested by Sellers, in each case to the extent obtaining or making any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval or filing or application therefor is allowed to occur prior to the Closing pursuant to applicable Law. If any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval is not obtained prior to the Closing, then, until the earlier of such time as (i) such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval is obtained by the Endo Companies and transferred (or permitted to be transferred) to the Buyers or (ii) the Buyers separately obtain any such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval (sufficient to conduct the business of the Endo Companies in the Ordinary Course of Business), the Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to
42
obtain, or cause to be obtained, and transfer to the Buyers such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval, and the Buyers shall provide reasonable cooperation to Sellers, subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required. Upon obtaining the relevant Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval, each Seller, as applicable, shall, promptly sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyers such Consent, Permit or Regulatory Approval for no additional consideration. All reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable prior to Closing in connection with transferring any Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals as contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Buyers. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, it is acknowledged and agreed that any obligations hereunder of the Endo Companies in respect of the Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals procured or required for the Business of the Indian Subsidiaries and the Indian HoldCo shall be: (A) limited to providing to the Buyers information, documents and such other cooperation as may be reasonably requested by the Buyers; and (B) only in respect of Consents, Permits or Regulatory Approvals, which pursuant to Law, require any action to, approval of, or notification to, the relevant Governmental Authority in relation to acquisition of the Transferred Equity Interests by the Buyers.

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, upon reasonable request, the Endo Companies shall afford the Buyers and their Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all of the properties, offices and other facilities, Books and Records (including Tax records, documents and materials related to any Regulatory Approvals, Product Approvals, and Transaction Steps and the consummation thereof) of the Endo Companies, and shall furnish the Buyers and their Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information, and provide reasonable access, upon reasonable request, to all the officers, key employees, accountants and other Representatives of the Endo Companies as the Buyers may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Endo Companies shall not be required to disclose any information to the Buyers or their Representatives if such disclosure
78
would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any attorney-client or other legal privilege or contravene any applicable Laws; provided that the Endo Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a reasonable alternative means of accessing any such information in a manner that would not result in the waiver of any legal privilege or violation of applicable Laws.
(b) After the Closing Date and until the end of the Wind-Down Period, upon reasonable request, the Endo Companies shall afford the Buyers and their Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Books and Records (including Tax records, Regulatory Approvals and Product Approvals) of the Endo Companies and the Buyers shall afford the Endo Companies and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Books and Records.

Until the Closing, each Party hereto shall promptly notify the other Parties hereto in writing of any fact, change, condition, circumstance or occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event of which it is aware that will or is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement becoming incapable of being satisfied.
Section 5.4 Employee Matters.
(a) The Endo Companies shall update the Employee Census as of five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. Within ten (10) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Endo Companies shall provide the Buyers with a list of any applicable individuals (on a no-name basis where required by applicable Law) who are expected to be Qualified Leave Recipients as of the Closing Date, including the Qualified Leave Recipient’s employee identification number, type of leave and their respective expected date of return, if known, and shall update that list from time to time through the Closing Date as necessary.
(b) Prior to the Closing, the Buyers shall provide (or cause one of their Affiliates to provide) to each Offer Employee an offer of employment for such position and with such responsibilities that are no less favorable than each Offer Employee’s current position and current responsibilities with the Endo Companies and such other terms as set forth in Section 5.4(h), in each case to commence on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Buyers shall assume the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, to the extent any Offer Employee is subject to the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the terms and conditions of employment of any Offer Employee subject to the Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Each Offer Employee who accepts an offer of employment made pursuant to this Section 5.4 and who does not terminate employment with the Endo Companies prior to the Closing Date shall be an “Offer and Acceptance Employee”. Each offer of employment made pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be contingent upon the Closing and the issuance of the Confirmation Order. The Endo Companies and the Buyers anticipate that the Automatic Transfer Employees will transfer by operation of Law under Canadian Labor Laws, and, subject to any specific exemptions under applicable local Laws, the contracts of employment of the Automatic Transfer Employees shall have effect from the Closing Date as if originally made between the Buyers (or an Affiliate of the Buyers as the case may be) and the Automatic Transfer Employee; provided, however, that with respect to all Automatic Transfer Employees employed in Canada, their transfer and continued employment as of and from the Closing Date with the Buyers or an Affiliate of the Buyers, including all terms and conditions of employment, will be in accordance
79
with Canadian Labor Laws and in any event no less favorable than currently in place and as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. The Buyers and their Affiliates as applicable agree to perform, discharge and fulfil their obligations as successor employer as required by applicable Canadian Labor Laws with respect to the Automatic Transfer Employees in Canada whose employment is transferred by operation of Canadian Labor Laws on Closing. The Buyers and their Affiliates as applicable shall recognize the periods of employment of all Transferred Employees for all purposes on the same basis and to the same extent as recognized by the Sellers. Each of the Endo Companies shall procure the delivery to the Automatic Transfer Employees of such information as is required to notify the Automatic Transfer Employees of the transfer of their employment in accordance with Canadian Labor Laws. The Buyers shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Endo Companies to facilitate the discharge of their obligations in the preceding sentence, and each Party shall provide the other Party with such information as such Party may request to allow them to perform their obligations under Canadian Labor Laws.
(c) With respect to all Transferred Employees who are Insiders, on the Closing Date, all then-effective employment agreements shall revest in or be assumed by or assumed and assigned to the Buyers or, if no employment agreement is then in effect for any Insiders, the Buyers shall execute new employment agreements which provide terms of employment, including base salaries, employee benefits and severance protections to such Insiders that are no less favorable than such Insiders’ most recent employment agreements and arrangements with the Endo Companies as adjusted to reflect increases in base salaries and target incentive levels or opportunities prior to the Closing Date, as applicable. Additionally, on the Closing Date, the Buyers will include all Insiders in the short- and long-term incentive programs for 2024 with (i) target short- and long-term incentive levels and opportunities that are in each case no less favorable than such levels and opportunities that were most recently communicated in writing to the applicable Insider or used to determine 2023 prepayments (including such prepayments that were made in 2022 in respect of 2023 compensation); and (ii) eligibility for full-year 2024 incentives that are not pro-rated.
(d) On or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide a list of the name (or employee identification number where no-name disclosure is required by Law) and site of employment of any and all employees of Sellers who have experienced, or will experience, an employment loss or layoff as defined by the WARN Act, or any other similar applicable state, provincial or local Law, within ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall update this list up to and including the Closing Date. For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyers shall not engage in any conduct that would result in an employment loss or layoff for a sufficient number of employees of Buyers which, if aggregated with any such conduct on the part of the Sellers prior to the Closing Date, would trigger the WARN Act or any other similar applicable state, provincial or local Law, to the extent that such conduct would result in liability for Sellers (for greater certainty, including any “mass layoff”, “plant closing”, “group termination” or “collective dismissal” with respect to the Business under any of the foreign Laws).
(e) After the date hereof, Buyers and the Endo Companies shall cooperate in good faith to effect the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Plans and funding arrangements related thereto from the Endo Companies to the Buyers or their Affiliates, as applicable, effective as of the Closing, including all assets and Liabilities related to such Assumed Plans, in accordance with the Chapter 11 Plan. As of the Closing, Buyers shall assume the Assumed Plans, including all assets and Liabilities related to such Assumed Plans.
80
(f) Buyers and the Endo Companies shall cooperate in good faith to (i) effect the payment of accrued but unpaid base salary and other wages, paid time off, and other amounts required to be paid to Business Employees under applicable Law in connection with the Closing, (ii) determine whether to treat Buyers and any of their Affiliates as a “successor employer” and the Endo Companies as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to Business Employees for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (iii) to determine whether to avoid, to the extent possible, the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each Business Employee for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.
(g) The Buyers shall or shall cause one of their Affiliates to pay, at the times such amounts are due, all unpaid base wages and base salaries and other accrued compensation, employee expenses, incentives and benefits, in respect of Transferred Employees, excluding workers’ compensation claims for injuries arising prior to the Closing, which are earned or accrued on or at any time prior to Closing.
(h) Subject to the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as applicable, Buyers shall provide, or cause one of their Affiliates to provide, for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee with: (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable to the base salary or wage rate provided to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) short- and long-term target incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable to the short- and long-term target incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Transferred Employee based on their target incentive compensation for 2022, as effective immediately prior to filing of the Petitions, (iii) other compensation and benefits (excluding any one-time or special bonus payments that do not constitute target incentive compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the other compensation and benefits provided to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (iv) recognition of all prior service with the Endo Companies for all purposes under the Assumed Plans on the same basis as recognized by the Sellers immediately prior to the Closing Date.
(i) On the Closing Date, the Buyers acknowledge that Endo, Inc. shall adopt a management incentive plan (the “MIP”) which will provide for an equity reserve equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) of Endo, Inc.’s fully diluted equity measured immediately after Closing, inclusive of the MIP (the “MIP Reserve”), to be issued in the form of equity-based awards to certain Transferred Employees comprised of management and other key employees of the Business. No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyers acknowledge that Endo, Inc. will grant equity awards to MIP participants equal to seventy-two and two-tenths percent (72.2%) of the MIP Reserve subject to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, performance metrics and vesting schedules) to be determined by Endo Inc.’s board of directors.
81
(j) To the extent permitted by Law or the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement, all accrued and unused vacation and paid time off of the Transferred Employees accrued as of the Closing Date shall, effective as of the Closing Date (or for a Qualified Leave Recipient, the applicable return to work date) or, if later, the date on which such Transferred Employee becomes an employee of the Buyers, be transferred to and assumed by the Buyers and the Buyers shall honor such accrued vacation on the same basis as under the Endo Companies’ vacation policy as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, which vacation policy would be provided by the Endo Companies to the Buyers provided under Section 5.4(e).
(k) The Buyers shall (i) offer and provide COBRA continuation coverage for all (i) Business Employees and their respective spouses and dependents and (ii) assume all health plan coverage obligations under Section 4980B of the Code with respect to all “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.
(l) Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement or other obligation of the Buyers and their Affiliates hereunder, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and participation (excluding, with respect to benefit accrual, retiree welfare benefits and defined benefit pension benefits) under any employee benefit plans of the Buyers or one of their Affiliates in which Transferred Employees participate after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Buyer Plans”), the Buyers shall credit each Transferred Employee with his or her years of service with the Endo Companies before the Closing Date to the same extent as such Transferred Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under the comparable Employee Plans in which such Transferred Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing (such Seller Plans, the “Seller Plans”), except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits.
(m) For purposes of each Buyer Plan providing medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Transferred Employee, the Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of such Buyer Plan for such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents (unless such exclusions or requirements were applicable under the Seller Plans). In addition, the Buyers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any co-payments, deductible and other eligible expenses incurred by such Transferred Employee and/or his or her covered dependents under any Seller Plan providing, medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision benefits during the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs to be credited for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Transferred Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Buyer Plan in which he or she participates, provided that Sellers timely provide the Buyers such information as they reasonably requests to comply with such obligation.
(n) In accordance with Section 5.18(g) of the Chapter 11 Plan, the Buyers shall or shall cause one of their Affiliates to assume the Collective Bargaining Agreement immediately following the Closing.
(o) Effective as of the Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Buyers or one of their Affiliates shall employ those foreign nationals working in the United States in non-immigrant visa status (the “Alien Employees”), under terms and conditions such that the Buyers qualify as a “successor-in-interest” under applicable United States immigration laws effective as of the Closing Date, and the Buyers agree to assume all immigration-related liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such Alien Employees.
82
(p) The Endo Companies shall, effective as of the Closing, terminate the employment of any Offer Employee who does not become an Offer and Acceptance Employee. The Endo Companies shall also advise any Automatic Transfer Employee who refuses to be employed by or continue employment with the Buyers or their Affiliates, that their employment with the Endo Companies ceases effective as of the Closing.
(q) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and the Specified Subsidiaries only and shall not be construed to grant any rights, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, to any person who is not a Party to this Agreement or a Specified Subsidiary, nor shall any provision of this Agreement be deemed to be the adoption of, or an amendment to, any employee benefit plan, as that term is defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or otherwise to limit the right of the Buyers or Endo Companies to amend, modify or terminate any such employee benefit plan or to modify the terms and conditions of any individual’s employment. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed to (i) prohibit any amendments to or termination of any employee benefit plans or (ii) prohibit the termination or change in terms of employment of any employee (including any Transferred Employee) as permitted under applicable Law. Nothing herein, expressed or implied, shall confer upon any employee (including any Business Employee or Transferred Employee) any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period) of any nature or kind whatsoever, under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 5.5 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.
(a) Each of the Parties shall take, in accordance with the covenants set forth in Sections 3 and 4 of the Restructuring Support Agreement, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to confirm Buyers’ ownership of the Specified Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets as promptly as practicable, including to obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals and effecting all necessary registrations, notices and filings, including all necessary waivers, consents and approvals from customers and other parties; provided that, except for the filing of the Chapter 11 Plan and any other pleadings before the Bankruptcy Court as contemplated in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall require any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates to make any payment or initiate any Action to obtain consent to the transfer of any Specified Equity Interest or Transferred Asset as contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence and in each case subject to this Section 5.5, the Parties shall take any and all actions that are necessary or advisable, and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate with one another prior to the Closing to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders and avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person, including consenting to any divestiture or other structural or conduct relief or undertakings as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Buyers’ ownership and operation of the Transferred Assets and the Business or of the Buyers’ ownership to the Specified Equity Interests immediately following the Closing; (ii) to the extent not delivered prior to the date hereof, as soon as practicable following the date hereof deliver all necessary notices and filings (including any notification and report form

The Endo Companies shall pay all filing fees and other charges for the filing under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law by the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of this Section 5.5(a) apply solely to the Endo Companies and Buyers, and such obligations do not apply to (and Buyers shall not be obligated under this Section 5.5(a) to make any requests to) the Required Holders, other holders of Secured Debt, or any other party with an interest in the Buyers that is not itself a Buyer under this Agreement; provided, that, Buyers shall cause Required Holders to provide any information reasonably necessary for Buyers to comply with their obligations under this Section 5.5(a).

The Endo Companies agree that the transfer of the Specified Equity Interests in the Indian Subsidiaries by PPI and Par LLC to the Indian HoldCo and Operand, respectively, shall be completed upon receiving the acknowledgement or approval (as applicable) of the Competition Commission of India in connection with such transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any action is required to be taken under both the Restructuring Support Agreement and this Agreement, the efforts standard set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement shall govern.
84
(b) Each of the Parties shall promptly notify the other Parties of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority. No Party shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any notices, filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting. The Parties will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting or similar periods under applicable Law. Subject to applicable Law, the Parties will provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(c) From time to time prior to or at the Closing, the Endo Companies and the Buyers shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further conveyances, notices, assumptions and releases and such other instruments, and shall take such further actions, as may be necessary or appropriate to vest in the Buyers all the right, title, and interest in, to or under the Specified Equity Interests and the Transferred Assets, to provide the Buyers and the Sellers all rights and obligations to which they are entitled and subject pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and to otherwise make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Subject to and without limiting Section 5.5(a), each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the obligations imposed upon it in this Agreement to be duly complied with and to cause all conditions precedent to such obligations to be satisfied.
(d) Except as specifically required by this Agreement, the Buyers will not take any action, or refrain from taking any action, the effect of which would be to delay or impede the (x) ability of the Parties to consummate the Plan Transaction, (y) entry of the Confirmation Order or (z) implementation of the Chapter 11 Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyers shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any business of any Person or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to, or the consummation of, such acquisition, merger or consolidation could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, order, declaration or approval of any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the purchase and sale of the Specified Equity Interests and Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an order prohibiting the purchase and sale of the Specified Equity Interests and Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise, or (iv) delay or prevent the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Specified Equity Interests and Transferred Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

Buyers hereby waive and agree not to assert (1) any claim that Skadden and/or ALG has a conflict of interest in any representation described in this Section 9.25(a) or (2) any confidentiality obligation with respect to any communication between Skadden and/or ALG and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation.
(b) Buyers hereby agree that as to all communications (whether before, at or after the Closing) between Skadden and/or ALG and any Designated Person that relate in any way to the Current Representation, the attorney-client privilege and all rights to any other evidentiary privilege, and the protections afforded to information relating to representation of a client under applicable rules of professional conduct, the Current Representation belong to Sellers and may be controlled by the Endo Companies and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyers or any of their representatives and Buyers hereby agree that they shall not seek to compel disclosure to Buyers or any of their Representatives of any such communication that is subject to attorney client privilege, or any other evidentiary privilege.
