These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: the expected benefits of our acquisitions and other transactions, such as cost savings, operating synergies and growth potential of the Company; business plans and prospects, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products; exposure to foreign currency exchange rate changes and interest rate changes; the outcome of contingencies, such as certain litigation and regulatory

In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Although we have indicated above certain of these statements set out herein, all of the statements in this Form 10-K that contain forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements.

Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, factors and assumptions regarding the items outlined above. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things, the following:

• the challenges and difficulties associated with managing the rapid growth of our Company and a larger, more complex business;

• the introduction of generic competitors of our brand products;

• the introduction of products that compete against our products that do not have patent or data exclusivity rights, which products represent a significant portion of our revenues;

• our ability to compete against companies that are larger and have greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as other competitive factors, such as technological advances achieved, patents obtained and new products introduced by our competitors;

• our ability to identify, acquire, close and integrate acquisition targets successfully and on a timely basis;

• factors relating to the integration of the companies, businesses and products acquired by the Company (including the integration relating to our recent acquisitions of Solta Medical, Inc.

• factors relating to our ability to achieve all of the estimated synergies from our acquisitions, including from our recent acquisition of B&L (which we anticipate will be greater than $850 million), as a result of cost-rationalization and integration initiatives. These factors may include greater than expected operating costs, the difficulty in eliminating certain duplicative costs, facilities and functions, and the outcome of many operational and strategic decisions, some of which have not yet been made;

• our ability to secure and maintain third party research, development, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements;

• our eligibility for benefits under tax treaties and the continued availability of low effective tax rates for the business profits of certain of our subsidiaries;

• our substantial debt and debt service obligations and their impact on our financial condition and results of operations;

• our future cash flow, our ability to service and repay our existing debt and our ability to raise additional funds, if needed, in light of our current and projected levels of operations, acquisition activity and general economic conditions;

• interest rate risks associated with our floating debt borrowings;

• the outcome of legal proceedings, investigations and regulatory proceedings;

• the risk that our products could cause, or be alleged to cause, personal injury and adverse effects, leading to potential lawsuits and/or withdrawals of products from the market;

• the availability of and our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance coverage and/or our ability to cover or insure against the total amount of the claims and liabilities we face;

• the difficulty in predicting the expense, timing and outcome within our legal and regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada and other regulatory approvals, legal and regulatory proceedings and settlements thereof, the protection afforded by our patents and other intellectual and proprietary property, successful generic challenges to our products and infringement or alleged infringement of the intellectual property of others;

• the results of continuing safety and efficacy studies by industry and government agencies;

• the availability and extent to which our products are reimbursed by government authorities and other third party payors, as well as the impact of obtaining or maintaining such reimbursement on the price of our products;

• the impact of price control restrictions on our products, including the risk of mandated price reductions;

• the success of preclinical and clinical trials for our drug development pipeline or delays in clinical trials that adversely impact the timely commercialization of our pipeline products, as well as factors impacting the commercial success of our currently marketed products, which could lead to material impairment charges;

PART I

Item 1. Business

Biovail Corporation (“Biovail”) was formed under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 18, 2000, as a result of the amalgamation of TXM Corporation and Biovail Corporation International. Biovail was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) effective June 29, 2005. On September 28, 2010 (the “Merger Date”), Biovail completed the acquisition of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Valeant”) through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2010, with Valeant surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Biovail (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, Biovail was renamed “Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.”

Effective August 9, 2013, we continued from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the Province of British Columbia, meaning that we became a company registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia as if we had been incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”), we are referring to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Introduction

We are a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices), which are marketed directly or indirectly in over 100 countries. In the Developed Markets segment, we focus most of our efforts in the eye health, dermatology, and neurology therapeutic classes. In the Emerging Markets segment, we focus primarily on branded generics, OTC products, and medical devices. We are diverse not only in our sources of revenue from our broad drug and medical device portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and geographic segments we serve.

Business Strategy

Our strategy is to focus the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes that offer attractive growth opportunities while maintaining our lower selling, general and administrative cost model and decentralized operating structure. We have an established portfolio of durable products with a focus in the eye health and dermatology therapeutic areas. We believe these areas are particularly attractive given that many of the products in these areas:

Another critical element of our strategy is business development. We have completed numerous transactions over the past few years to expand our portfolio offering and geographic footprint, including, among others, the acquisitions of Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”) and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Medicis”). We will continue to pursue value-added business development opportunities as they arise.

The growth of our business is further augmented through our lower risk research and development model. This model allows us to advance certain development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and development expense. This is achieved primarily as follows:

• have potential for strong operating margins and solid growth;

• are marked by a higher insured and self-pay component than other therapeutic areas and are less dependent on increasing government reimbursement pressures;

• have limited patent risk;

• have the potential for line extensions and life-cycle management opportunities; and

• are smaller on an individual basis, and therefore typically not the focus of larger pharmaceutical companies.

• focusing our efforts on niche therapeutic areas such as eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, including life-cycle management programs for currently marketed products; and

Page 13: 10-K filed

• acquiring dossiers and registrations for branded generic products, which require limited manufacturing start-up and development activities.

Page 14: 10-K filed

In addition to selective acquisitions and product development, our strategy also involves deploying cash through debt repayments and repurchases, as well as share buybacks.

We believe this strategy will allow us to maximize both the growth rate and profitability of the Company and to enhance shareholder value.

Acquisitions

We have completed a number of transactions to expand our product portfolio including, among others, the following acquisitions of businesses and product rights in 2013: B&L, Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (“Obagi”), Natur Produkt International, JSC (“Natur Produkt”) and certain assets from Eisai Inc. (“Eisai”). In addition, in January 2014, we acquired Solta Medical Inc (“Solta Medical”).

For more information regarding our acquisitions, see note 3, note 4 and note 27 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Segment Information

As a result of our acquisition strategy and continued growth, impacted by the December 2012 Medicis acquisition, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), began to manage the business differently, which necessitated a realignment of the segment structure, effective in the first quarter of 2013. Pursuant to this change, we now have two operating and reportable segments: (i) Developed Markets, and (ii) Emerging Markets. Accordingly, we have restated prior period segment information to conform to the current period presentation. Comparative segment information for 2013, 2012, and 2011 is presented in note 26 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Our current product portfolio comprises approximately 1,500 products.

Developed Markets

The Developed Markets segment consists of (i) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products, as well as alliance and contract service revenues, in the areas of eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, (ii) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired, and (iii) pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and Japan.

Trademarks, Patents and Proprietary Rights

We rely on a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality policies and procedures and patent, trademark, copyright and trade secrecy laws to protect the proprietary aspects of our technology and business. Our policy is to vigorously protect, enforce and defend our rights to our intellectual property and proprietary rights, as appropriate.

Trademarks

We believe that trademark protection is an important part of establishing product and brand recognition. We own or license a number of registered trademarks and trademark applications in the U.S., Canada and in certain other countries throughout the world. U.S. federal registrations for trademarks remain in force for 10 years and may be renewed every 10 years after issuance, provided the mark is still being used in commerce. Trademark registrations in Canada remain in force for 15 years and may be renewed every 15 years after issuance, provided that, as in the case of U.S. federal trademark registrations, the mark is still being used in commerce. Other countries generally have similar but varying terms and renewal policies with respect to trademarks registered in those countries.

Data and Patent Exclusivity

We rely on a combination of regulatory and patent rights to protect the value of our investment in the development of our products.

A patent is the grant of a property right which allows its holder to exclude others from, among other things, selling the subject invention in, or importing such invention into, the jurisdiction that granted the patent. In the U.S., Canada and the European Union, generally patents expire 20 years from the date of application. We have obtained, acquired or in-licensed a number of patents and patent applications covering key aspects of our principal products. In the aggregate, our patents are of material importance to our business taken as a whole. However, we do not consider any single patent material to our business as a whole.

In the U.S., the Hatch-Waxman Act provides non-patent regulatory exclusivity for five years from the date of the first FDA approval of a new drug compound in a New Drug Application (“NDA”). The FDA, with one exception, is prohibited during those five years from accepting for filing a generic, or ANDA, that references the NDA. In reference to the foregoing exception, if a patent is indexed in the FDA Orange Book for the new drug compound, a generic may file an ANDA four years from the NDA approval date if it also files a Paragraph IV Certification with the FDA challenging the patent. Protection under the Hatch-Waxman Act will not prevent the filing or approval of another full NDA. However, the NDA applicant would be required to conduct its own pre-clinical and adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to independently demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

A similar data exclusivity scheme exists in the European Union (“EU”), whereby only the pioneer drug company can use data obtained at the pioneer’s expense for up to eight years from the date of the first approval of a drug by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) and no generic drug can be marketed for ten years from the approval of the innovator product. Under both the U.S. and the EU data exclusivity programs, products without patent protection can be marketed by others so long as they repeat the clinical trials necessary to show safety and efficacy. Canada employs a similar data exclusivity regulatory regime for innovative drugs.

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a drug intended to treat a disease or condition that affects populations of fewer than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. or a disease whose incidence rates number more than 200,000 where the sponsor establishes that it does not realistically anticipate that its product sales will be sufficient to recover its costs. The sponsor that obtains the first marketing approval for a designated orphan drug for a given rare disease is eligible to receive marketing exclusivity for use of that drug for the orphan indication for a period of seven years.

Proprietary Know-How

We also rely upon unpatented proprietary know-how, trade secrets and technological innovation in the development and manufacture of many of our principal products. We protect our proprietary rights through a variety of methods, including

Page 21: 10-K filed

5

Page 22: 10-K filed

confidentiality agreements and proprietary information agreements with vendors, employees, consultants and others who may have access to proprietary information.

Government Regulations

Government authorities in the U.S., at the federal, state and local level, in Canada, in the EU and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products and medical devices. As such, our products and product candidates are subject to extensive regulation both before and after approval. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a product candidate, product recall, product seizure, interruption of production, operating restrictions, suspension or withdrawal of product approval, injunctions or criminal prosecution.

Prior to human use, FDA approval must be obtained in the U.S., approval by Health Canada must be obtained in Canada, EMA approval (drugs) or a CE Marking (devices) must be obtained for countries that are part of the EU and approval must be obtained from comparable agencies in other countries prior to manufacturing or marketing new pharmaceutical products or medical devices.

Regulation by other federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), and state and local authorities in the U.S., and by comparable agencies in certain foreign countries, is also required. In the U.S., the FTC, the FDA and state and local authorities regulate the advertising of medical devices, prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs and cosmetics. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended (“FDCA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, the testing, manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, sale, distribution, advertising and promotion of our products. The FDA requires a Boxed Warning (sometimes referred to as a “Black Box” Warning) for products that have shown a significant risk of severe or life-threatening adverse events and similar warnings are also required to be displayed on the product in certain other jurisdictions.

Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products and medical devices are required to comply with manufacturing regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and quality system management requirements, enforced by the FDA and Health Canada, in the U.S. and Canada respectively, and similar regulations enforced by regulatory agencies in other countries. In addition, we are subject to price control restrictions on our pharmaceutical products in many countries in which we operate.

We are also subject to extensive U.S. federal and state health care marketing and fraud and abuse regulations, such as the federal False Claims Act, federal and provincial marketing regulation in Canada and similar regulations in foreign countries in which we may conduct our business. The federal False Claims Act imposes civil and criminal liability on individuals or entities who submit (or cause the submission of) false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government. The U.S. federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons or entities from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending, or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Due to recent legislative changes, violations of the Anti-Kickback Statute also carry potential federal False Claims Act liability. In addition, in the U.S., companies may not promote drugs or medical devices for “off-label” uses - that is, uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those that were approved or cleared by the FDA - and “off-label promotion” has also formed the predicate for False Claims Act liability resulting in significant financial settlements. These and other laws and regulations, rules and policies may significantly impact the manner in which we are permitted to market our products. If our operations are found to be in violation of any of these laws, regulations, rules or policies or any other law or governmental regulation, or if interpretations of the foregoing change, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

Environmental Regulation

Our facilities and operations are subject to national, federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations in both the U.S. and countries outside the U.S., including those governing the discharges of substances into the air, water and land, the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes, wastewater and solid waste, the cleanup of properties affected by known pollutants and other environmental matters. Certain of our development and manufacturing activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Existing environmental protection legislation and regulations, and compliance therewith, have had no material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Capital expenditures for property, facility operations and equipment for environmental control facilities were not material during fiscal year 2013, and we have no current plans to invest in material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities for the fiscal years 2014 or 2015.

Marketing and Customers

Our top four geographic markets by country, based on 2013 revenue, are: the U.S. and Puerto Rico, Canada, Poland and Russia, which represent 55%, 7%, 5% and 4% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

The following table identifies external customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013 :

No other customer generated over 10% of our total revenues.

We currently promote our pharmaceutical products to physicians, hospitals, pharmacies and wholesalers through our own sales force and sell through wholesalers. In some limited markets, we additionally sell directly to physicians, hospitals and large drug store chains and we sell through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our marketing program for pharmaceuticals, we use direct mailings, advertise in trade and medical periodicals, exhibit products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.

Competition

Competitive Landscape for Products and Products in Development

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are highly competitive. Our competitors include specialty and other large pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, biotechnology companies, OTC companies and generic manufacturers, in the U.S., Canada, the EU and in other countries in which we market our products. The market for eye health products is very competitive, both across product categories and geographies. In addition to larger diversified pharmaceutical and medical device companies, we face competition in the eye health market from mid-size and smaller, regional and entrepreneurial companies with fewer products in niche areas or regions. The dermatology competitive landscape is highly fragmented, with a large number of mid-size and smaller companies competing in both the prescription sector and the OTC and cosmeceutical sectors.

Our competitors are pursuing the development and/or acquisition of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and OTC products that target the same diseases and conditions that we are targeting in eye health, dermatology, aesthetics, neurology and other therapeutic areas. Academic and other research and development institutions may also develop products or technologies that compete with our products, which technologies and products may be acquired or licensed by our competitors. These competitors may have greater financial, R&D or marketing resources than we do. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both. Most new products that we introduce must compete with other products already on the market or products that are later developed by competitors.

We sell a broad range of products, and competitive factors vary by product line and geographic area in which the products are sold. The principal methods of competition for our products include quality, efficacy, market acceptance, price, and marketing and promotional efforts.

Generic Competition

We face increased competition from manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products when patents covering certain of our currently marketed products expire or are successfully challenged. Generic versions are generally significantly less expensive than branded versions, and, where available, may be required in preference to the branded version under third party reimbursement programs, or substituted by pharmacies. Manufacturers of generic pharmaceuticals typically invest far less in research and development than research-based pharmaceutical companies and therefore can price their products significantly lower than branded products. Accordingly, when a branded product loses its market exclusivity, it normally faces intense price competition from generic forms of the product. To successfully compete for business with managed care and pharmacy benefits management organizations, we must often demonstrate that our products offer not only medical benefits but also cost advantages as compared with other forms of care.

A number of our products already face generic competition, including Cesamet®, BenzaClin®, Cardizem® CD and Wellbutrin XL® (both

in the U.S. and Canada), all of which had generic competitors during 2013. In April 2013, a generic version

Page 26: 10-K filed

of Zovirax® ointment was introduced by Mylan Inc, and, in August 2013, a generic competitor to Retin-A Micro® was launched. In addition, certain of our products face the expiration of their patent and regulatory exclusivity in 2014 or in later years, following which we anticipate generic competition of these products, including Vanos® for which a generic competitor was launched in January 2014.

In addition, for a number of our products, we have commenced infringement proceedings against potential generic competitors in the U.S. and Canada. If we are not successful in these proceedings, we may face increased generic competition for these products. See note 24 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional details regarding such potential infringement proceedings.

Manufacturing

We currently operat e 38 manufacturing plants worldwide. All of our manufacturing facilities that require certification from the FDA, Health Canada or foreign agenci es have obtained such approval.

We also subcontract the manufacturing of certain of our products, including products manufactured under the rights acquired from other pharmaceutical companies. Generally, acquired products continue to be produced for a specific period of time by the selling company. During that time, we integrate the products into our own manufacturing facilities or initiate toll manufacturing agreements with third parties.

Products representing the majority of our product sales are produced by third party manufacturers under toll manufacturing arrangements.

In some cases, the principal raw materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredient, used by us (or our third party manufacturers) for our various products are purchased in the open market or are otherwise available from several sources. However, some of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and other raw materials are currently available from a single source and others may in the future become available from only one source. In addition, in some cases, only a single source of such active pharmaceutical ingredient is identified in filings with regulatory agencies, including the FDA, and cannot be changed without prior regulatory approval. Any disruption in the supply of any such active pharmaceutical ingredient or other raw material or an increase in the cost of such material could adversely impact our ability to manufacture such products, the ability of our third party manufacturers to supply us with such products, or our profitability. We attempt to manage the risks associated with reliance on single sources of active pharmaceutical ingredient or other raw materials by carrying additional inventories or, where possible, developing second sources of supply.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013 , we had approximately 17,200 employees. These employees included approximately 8,100 in production, 6,400 in sales and marketing, 1,700 in general and administrative positions and 1,000 in research and development (including regulatory affairs and quality assurance). Collective bargaining exists for some employees in a number of markets. We consider our relations with our employees to be good and have not experienced any work stoppages, slowdowns or other serious labor problems that have materially impeded our business operations.

Product Liability Insurance

We have product liability insurance to cover damages resulting from the use of our products. Product liability insurance is expensive and, in the future, may be difficult to obtain or may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result of the difficulties and costs of acquiring insurance, we may reevaluate and change the types and levels of product liability insurance coverage that we purchase and we may also make the decision to self-insure some of, a significant portion of or all of our product liability risk.

Seasonality of Business

Historically, revenues from our business tend to be weighted toward the second half of the year. Sales in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on consumer and customer purchasing patterns associated with healthcare reimbursement programs. Further, the third quarter “back to school” period impacts demand for certain of our dermatology products. H owever, as we continue our strategy of selective acquisitions to expand our product portfolio, there are no assurances that these historical trends will continue in the future.

Geographic Areas

Page 27: 10-K filed

A significant portion of our revenues is generated from operations or otherwise earned outside the U.S. and Canada. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions including possible nationalization or expropriation. Changes in the relative values of currencies may materially affect our results of operations. For a discussion of these risks, see Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Form 10-K.

See note 26 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for detailed information regarding revenues by geographic area.

In 2013, a material portion of our revenue and income was earne d in Bermuda, Ireland, Luxembourg and Switzerland, which have low tax rates. See Item 1A., Risk Factors in this Form 10-K relating to tax rates.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Form 10-K, including those risks set forth under the heading entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”, and in other documents that we file with the SEC and the CSA, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the risks or uncertainties actually occur or develop, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the market value of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

Competitive Risks

We operate in extremely competitive industries. If competitors develop or acquire more effective or less costly pharmaceutical products or medical devices for our target indications, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are extremely competitive. Our success and future growth depend, in part, on our ability to acquire, license or develop products that are more effective than those of our competitors or that incorporate the latest technologies and our ability to effectively manufacture and market those products. Many of our competitors, particularly larger pharmaceutical and medical device companies, have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do. Many of our competitors spend significantly more on research and development related activities than we do. Others may succeed in developing or acquiring products that are more effective or less costly than those currently marketed or proposed for development by us. In addition, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection with respect to potentially competitive products and may also establish exclusive collaborative or licensing relationships with our competitors. These competitors and the introduction of competing products (that may be more effective or less costly than our products) could make our products less competitive or obsolete, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We have faced generic competition in the past and expect to face additional generic competition in the future. Generic competition of our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Upon the expiration or loss of patent protection for our products, or upon the “at-risk” launch (despite pending patent infringement litigation against the generic product) by a generic competitor of a generic version of our products (which may be sold at significantly lower prices than our products), we could lose a significant portion of sales of that product in a very short period, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Products representing a significant amount of our revenue are not protected by patent or data exclusivity rights or are nearing the end of their exclusivity period.

A significant number of the products we sell have no meaningful exclusivity protection via patent or data exclusivity rights or are protected by patents or regulatory exclusivity periods that will be expiring in the near future. These products represent a significant amount of our revenues. Without exclusivity protection, competitors face fewer barriers in introducing competing products. The introduction of competing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Acquisition-related Risks

We have grown at a very rapid pace. Our inability to properly manage or support this growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We have grown very rapidly over the past few years as a result of our acquisitions. This growth has put significant demands on our processes, systems and people. We have made and expect to make further investments in additional personnel, systems and internal control processes to help manage our growth. If we are unable to successfully manage and support our rapid growth and the challenges and difficulties associated with managing a larger, more complex business, this could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and the market value of our common stock could decline.

10

Page 29: 10-K filed

We may be unable to identify, acquire, close or integrate acquisition targets successfully.

Part of our business strategy includes acquiring and integrating complementary businesses, products, technologies or other assets, and forming strategic alliances, joint ventures and other business combinations, to help drive future growth. We may also in-license new products or compounds. Acquisitions or similar arrangements may be complex, time consuming and expensive. In some cases, we move very rapidly to negotiate and consummate the transaction, once we identify the acquisition target. We may not consummate some negotiations for acquisitions or other arrangements, which could result in significant diversion of management and other employee time, as well as substantial out-of-pocket costs. In addition, there are a number of risks and uncertainties relating to our closing transactions. If such transactions are not completed for any reason, we will be subject to several risks, including the following: (i) the market price of our common shares may reflect a market assumption that such transactions will occur, and a failure to complete such transactions could result in a negative perception by the market of us generally and a decline in the market price of our common shares; and (ii) many costs relating to the such transactions may be payable by us whether or not such transactions are completed.

If an acquisition is consummated (such as our recent acquisitions of B&L and Solta Medical), the integration of the acquired business, product or other assets into our Company may also be complex and time-consuming and, if such businesses, products and assets are not successfully integrated, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits, cost-savings or growth opportunities. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process include the following:

Furthermore, as was the case with the recent B&L Acquisition, we have incurred, and may incur in the future, restructuring and integration costs and a number of non-recurring transaction costs associated with these acquisitions, combining the operations of the Company and the acquired company and achieving desired synergies. These fees and costs may be substantial. Non-recurring transaction costs include, but are not limited to, fees paid to legal, financial and accounting advisors, filing fees and printing costs. Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration of the businesses of the Company and the acquired company. There can be no assurance that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the acquired business, will offset the incremental transaction-related costs over time. Therefore, any net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, the long term or at all.

Finally, these acquisitions and other arrangements, even if successfully integrated, may fail to further our business strategy as anticipated or to achieve anticipated benefits and success, expose us to increased competition or challenges with respect to our products or geographic markets, and expose us to additional liabilities associated with an acquired business, product, technology or other asset or arrangement. Any one of these challenges or risks could impair our ability to realize any benefit from our acquisition or arrangement after we have expended resources on them.

Our recent acquisition of B&L involved certain additional risks. We entered into a new business area in connection with the B&L Acquisition, which business may not be successful or which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

With the B&L Acquisition, we have significantly increased our involvement in the eye health industry and we have entered into a number of new business areas, including vision care and surgical eye care, and will be developing and commercializing a range of new products. We may not be successful in these new areas and business units and this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. In addition, B&L has a number of pipeline products that may not align with our lower-risk R&D model, which may result in increased costs, lower success rates or a rationalization of certain projects, each of which may adversely affect our financial results.

Tax-related Risks

• integrating personnel, operations and systems, while maintaining focus on selling and promoting existing and newly-acquired products;

• coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;

• distracting management and employees from operations;

• retaining existing customers and attracting new customers;

• maintaining the business relationships the acquired company has established, including with healthcare providers; and

• managing inefficiencies associated with integrating the operations of the Company.

Page 30: 10-K filed

Our effective tax rates may increase.

11

Page 31: 10-K filed

We have operations in various countries that have differing tax laws and rates. Our tax reporting is supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting will be, and the historic tax reporting of each of Valeant and Biovail is, subject to audit by domestic and foreign authorities. Our effective tax rate may change from year to year based on changes in the mix of activities and income earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate; changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions; changes in the tax treaties between various countries in which we operate; changes in our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties; and changes in the estimated values of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such changes could result in a substantial increase in the effective tax rate on all or a portion of our income.

Our provision for income taxes is based on certain estimates and assumptions made by management. Our consolidated income tax rate is affected by the amount of net income earned in our various operating jurisdictions, the availability of benefits under tax treaties, and the rates of taxes payable in respect of that income. We enter into many transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course of business in respect of which the tax treatment is not entirely certain. We therefore make estimates and judgments based on our knowledge and understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and tax treaties to our business, in determining our consolidated tax provision. For example, certain countries could seek to tax a greater share of income than will be provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation authorities may differ from the estimates and assumptions that we may use in determining our consolidated tax provisions and accruals. This could result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated income tax provision, financial condition and the net income for the period in which such determinations are made.

Our deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and any related valuation allowances are affected by events and transactions arising in the ordinary course of business, acquisitions of assets and businesses, and non-recurring items. The assessment of the appropriate amount of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets is dependent upon several factors, including estimates of the realization of deferred income tax assets, which realization will be primarily based on forecasts of future taxable income. Significant judgment is applied to determine the appropriate amount of valuation allowance to record. Changes in the amount of any valuation allowance required could materially increase or decrease our provision for income taxes in a given period.

Debt-related Risks

We have incurred significant indebtedness, which may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and limit our ability to implement elements of our growth strategy.

We have incurred significant indebtedness, primarily in connection with our acquisitions (including our acquisition of B&L). We may also incur additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs, subject to certain restrictions under our indebtedness, which would increase our total debt. This additional debt may be substantial. Our indebtedness may restrict the manner in which we conduct business and limit our ability to implement elements of our growth strategy. Some restrictions could include:

Our current corporate credit rating is Ba3 for Moody’s Investors Service and BB- for Standard and Poor’s. A downgrade may increase our

• limitations on our ability to obtain additional debt financing on favorable terms or at all;

• instances in which we are unable to meet the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements or to generate cash sufficient to make required debt payments, which circumstances would have the potential of resulting in the acceleration of the maturity of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness (which we may not have the ability to pay);

• the allocation of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our debt, thus reducing the amount of our cash flow available for other purposes, including operating costs and capital expenditures that could improve our competitive position and results of operations;

• requiring us to issue debt or equity securities or to sell some of our core assets (subject to certain restrictions under our existing indebtedness), possibly on unfavorable terms, to meet payment obligations;

• compromising our flexibility to plan for, or react to, competitive challenges in our business and the pharmaceutical and medical device industries;

• the possibility that we are put at a competitive disadvantage relative to competitors that do not have as much debt as us, and competitors that may be in a more favorable position to access additional capital resources; and

• limitations on our ability to execute business development activities to support our strategies.

cost of borrowing and may negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital.

12

Page 33: 10-K filed

To service our debt, we will be required to generate a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, and any failure to meet our debt service obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend principally upon our future operating performance. As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, may affect our ability to make payments on our debt. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, we may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring our debt, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Repayment of our indebtedness is dependent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries include non-U.S. subsidiaries that may be prohibited by law or other regulations from distributing funds to us and/or we may be subject to payment of repatriation taxes and withholdings. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries or receive cash via cash repatriation strategies for services rendered and intellectual property, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness.

We are exposed to risks related to interest rates.

Our senior secured credit facilities bear interest based on U.S. dollar London Interbank Offering Rates, or U.S. Prime Rate, or Federal Funds effective rate. Thus, a change in the short-term interest rate environment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. As of December 31, 2013, we do not have any outstanding interest rate swap contracts.

Risks related to the International Scope of our Business

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to risks arising from the international scope of our operations.

We conduct a significant portion of our business outside the U.S. and Canada and, in light of our growth strategy, we anticipate continuing to expand our operations into new countries, including emerging markets. We sell our pharmaceutical and medical device products in many countries around the world. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including, among other things:

• difficulties in coordinating and managing foreign operations, including ensuring that foreign operations comply with foreign laws as well as U.S. laws applicable to U.S. companies with foreign operations, such as export laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA;

• price and currency exchange controls;

• credit market uncertainty;

• political and economic instability;

• compliance with multiple regulatory regimes;

• less established legal and regulatory regimes in certain jurisdictions, including as relates to enforcement of anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and the reliability of the judicial systems;

• differing degrees of protection for intellectual property;

• unexpected changes in foreign regulatory requirements, including quality standards and other certification requirements;

Page 34: 10-K filed

13

• new export license requirements;

• adverse changes in tariff and trade protection measures;

Page 35: 10-K filed

Any of these factors, or any other international factors, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Due to the large portion of our business conducted in currency other than U.S. dollars, we have significant foreign currency risk.

We face foreign currency exposure on the translation into U.S. dollars of the financial results of our operations in Europe, Canada, Australia, Latin America, Asia and Africa. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same currency revenue in relation to same currency expenses. As a result, both favorable and unfavorable foreign currency impacts to our foreign currency-denominated operating expenses are mitigated to a certain extent by the natural, opposite impact on our foreign currency-denominated revenue. In addition, the repurchase of principal under our U.S. dollar denominated debt may result in foreign exchange gains or losses for Canadian income tax purposes. One half of any foreign exchange gains or losses will be included in our Canadian taxable income. Any foreign exchange gain will result in a corresponding reduction in our available Canadian tax attributes.

The general business and economic conditions in those countries in which we conduct business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We may be impacted by general economic conditions and factors over which we have no control, such as changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency rates, lack of liquidity in certain markets and volatility in capital markets. Similarly, adverse economic conditions impacting our customers or uncertainty about global economic conditions could cause purchases of our products to decline, which would adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Moreover, our projected revenues and operating results are based on assumptions concerning certain levels of customer spending. Any failure to attain our projected revenues and operating results as a result of adverse economic or market conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Employment-related Risks

We must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives and other key employees, and failure to do so could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We must continue to retain, motivate and recruit executives, including our Chief Executive Officer, J. Michael Pearson, and other key employees. A failure by us to retain and motivate executives and other key employees could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Risks related to Intellectual Property and Legal Proceedings

The Company may fail to obtain, maintain, enforce or defend the intellectual property rights required to conduct its business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

• differing labor regulations;

• potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;

• restrictive governmental actions;

• possible nationalization or expropriation;

• restrictions on the repatriation of funds;

• differing local practices, customs and cultures, some of which may not align or comply with our company practices or U.S. laws and regulations;

• difficulties with licensees, contract counterparties, or other commercial partners; and

• differing local product preferences and product requirements.

Page 36: 10-K filed

We strive to acquire, maintain and defend patent, trademark and other intellectual property protections over our products and the processes used to manufacture these products. However, we may not be successful in obtaining such protections, or the patent, trademark and intellectual property rights we do obtain may not be sufficient in breadth and scope to fully protect our products or prevent competing products, or such patent and intellectual property rights may be susceptible to third party challenges.

14

Page 37: 10-K filed

The failure to obtain, maintain, enforce or defend such intellectual property rights, for any reason, could allow third parties to manufacture and sell products that compete with our products or may impact our ability to develop, manufacture and market our own products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

For certain of our products and manufacturing processes, we rely on trade secrets and other proprietary information, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and partners. We also attempt to enter into agreements whereby such employees, consultants, advisors and partners assign to us the rights in any intellectual property they develop. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of such information and disputes may still arise with respect to the ownership of intellectual property. The disclosure of such proprietary information or the loss of such intellectual property rights may impact our ability to develop, manufacture and market our own products or may assist competitors in the development, manufacture and sale of competing products, which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues, financial condition or results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We may also incur substantial costs and resources in applying for and prosecuting these patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights and in defending or litigating these rights against third parties.

We may become involved in infringement actions which are uncertain, costly and time-consuming and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

The pharmaceutical and medical device industries historically have generated substantial litigation concerning the manufacture, use and sale of products and we expect this litigation activity to continue. As a result, we expect that patents related to our products will be routinely challenged, and our patents may not be upheld. In order to protect or enforce patent rights, we may initiate litigation against third parties. If we are not successful in defending an attack on our patents and maintaining exclusive rights to market one or more of our products still under patent protection, we could lose a significant portion of sales in a very short period. We may also become subject to infringement claims by third parties and may have to defend against charges that we violated patents or the proprietary rights of third parties. If we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, we could lose our right to develop, manufacture or sell products, including our generic products, or could be required to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. The outcomes of infringement actions are uncertain and infringement actions are costly and divert technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

In addition, in the U.S., it has become increasingly common for patent infringement actions to prompt claims that antitrust laws have been violated during the prosecution of the patent or during litigation involving the defense of that patent. Such claims by direct and indirect purchasers and other payers are typically filed as class actions. The relief sought may include treble damages and restitution claims. Similarly, antitrust claims may be brought by government entities or private parties following settlement of patent litigation, alleging that such settlements are anti-competitive and in violation of antitrust laws. In the U.S. and Europe, regulatory authorities have continued to challenge as anti-competitive so-called “reverse payment” settlements between branded and generic drug manufacturers. We may also be subject to other antitrust litigation involving competition claims unrelated to patent infringement and prosecution. A successful antitrust claim by a private party or government entity against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

If our products cause, or are alleged to cause, serious or widespread personal injury, we may have to withdraw those products from the market and/or incur significant costs, including payment of substantial sums in damages, and we may be subject to exposure relating to product liability claims.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to significant product liability and other claims in the event that the use of our products caused, or is alleged to have caused, adverse effects. Furthermore, our products may cause, or may appear to have caused, adverse side effects (including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug has been administered to patients for some time. The withdrawal of a product following complaints and/or incurring significant costs, including the requirement to pay substantial damages in personal injury cases or product liability cases, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Our product liability insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our claims and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage at a reasonable cost in the future, or we may elect to self-insure.

We are involved in various legal proceedings that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We are involved in several legal proceedings and may be involved in litigation in the future. These proceedings may be complex and extended and may occupy the resources of our management and employees. These proceedings may also be costly

Page 38: 10-K filed

15

Page 39: 10-K filed

to prosecute and defend and may involve substantial awards or damages payable by us if not found in our favor. We may also be required to pay substantial amounts or grant certain rights on unfavorable terms in order to settle such proceedings. Defending against or settling such claims and any unfavorable legal decisions, settlements or orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. For more information regarding legal proceedings, see note 24 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Development and Regulatory Risks

The successful development of our pipeline products is highly uncertain and requires significant expenditures and time. The failure to commercialize certain of our pipeline products could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We currently have a number of pipeline products in development. We and our development partners, as applicable, conduct extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy in humans of our pipeline products in order to obtain regulatory approval for the sale of our pipeline products. Preclinical studies and clinical trials are expensive, complex, can take many years and have uncertain outcomes. Only a small number of our research and development programs may actually result in the commercialization of a product. We will not be able to commercialize our pipeline products if preclinical studies do not produce successful results or if clinical trials do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans. Furthermore, success in preclinical studies or early-stage clinical trials does not ensure that later stage clinical trials will be successful nor does it ensure that regulatory approval for the product candidate will be obtained. In addition, the process for the completion of pre-clinical and clinical trials and the regulatory approval submission process are lengthy and may be subject to a number of delays for various reasons, which will delay the commercialization of any successful product. If our development projects are not successful or are significantly delayed, we may not recover our substantial investments in the pipeline product and our failure to bring these pipeline products to market on a timely basis, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Obtaining necessary government approvals is time consuming and not assured.

FDA and Health Canada approval must be obtained in the U.S. and Canada, respectively, EMA approval (drugs) and CE Marking (devices) must be obtained in countries in the EU and similar approvals must be obtained from comparable agencies in other countries, prior to marketing or manufacturing new pharmaceutical and medical device products for use by humans. Obtaining such regulatory approvals for new products and devices and manufacturing processes can take a number of years and involves the expenditure of substantial resources. Even if such products appear promising in development stages, regulatory approval may not be achieved and no assurance can be given that we will obtain approval in those countries where we wish to commercialize such products. Nor can any assurance be given that if such approval is secured, the approved labeling will not have significant labeling limitations, including limitations on the indications for which we can market a product, or require onerous risk management programs. Furthermore, from time to time, changes to the applicable legislation or regulations may be introduced that change these review and approval processes for our products, which changes may make it more difficult and costly to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals.

Our marketed drugs will be subject to ongoing regulatory review.

Following initial regulatory approval of any products we or our partners may develop or acquire, we will be subject to continuing regulatory review by various government authorities in those countries where our products are marketed or intended to be marketed, including the review of adverse drug events and clinical results that are reported after product candidates become commercially available. The research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products and medical devices will also be subject to extensive ongoing regulatory requirements. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements in those countries where our products are sold, we could lose our marketing approvals or be subject to fines or other sanctions. In addition, incidents of adverse drug reactions, unintended side effects or misuse relating to our products could result in additional regulatory controls or restrictions, or even lead to the regulatory authority requiring us to withdraw the product from the market. Further, if faced with these incidents of adverse drug reactions, unintended side effects or misuse relating to our products, we may elect to voluntarily implement a recall or market withdrawal of our product. A recall or market withdrawal, whether voluntary or required by a regulatory authority, may involve significant costs to us, potential disruptions in the supply of our products to our customers and reputational harm to our products and business, all of which could harm our ability to market our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Also, as a condition to granting marketing approval of a product, the applicable regulatory agencies may require a company to conduct additional clinical trials, the results of which could result in the subsequent loss of marketing approval, changes in product labeling or new or increased concerns about side effects or efficacy of a product.

Page 41: 10-K filed

Our marketing, promotional and pricing practices, as well as the manner in which sales forces interact with purchasers, prescribers and patients, are subject to extensive regulation and any material failure to comply could result in significant sanctions against us.

The marketing, promotional, and pricing practices of pharmaceutical and medical device companies, as well as the manner in which companies’ in-house or third-party sales forces interact with purchasers, prescribers, and patients, are subject to extensive regulation, enforcement of which may result in the imposition of civil and/or criminal penalties, injunctions, and/or limitations on marketing practice for our products. Many companies, including us, have been the subject of claims related to these practices asserted by federal authorities. These claims have resulted in fines and other consequences. We are now operating under a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) that requires us to maintain a comprehensive compliance program governing our sales, marketing and government pricing and contracting functions. Material failures to comply with the CIA could result in significant sanctions against us, including monetary penalties and exclusion from federal health care programs. Companies may not promote drugs for “off-label” uses - that is, uses that are not described in the product's labeling and that differ from those approved by the FDA, Health Canada, EMA or other applicable regulatory agencies. A company that is found to have improperly promoted off-label uses may be subject to significant liability, including civil and administrative remedies as well as criminal sanctions. In addition, management's attention could be diverted from our business operations and our reputation could be damaged.

For certain of our products, we depend on reimbursement from third party payors and a reduction in the extent of reimbursement could reduce our product sales and revenue.

Sales of certain of our products are dependent, in part, on the availability and extent of reimbursement from government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations of the costs of our products and our continued participation in such programs. Changes in government regulations or private third-party payors’ reimbursement policies may reduce reimbursement for our products and adversely affect our future results.

Failure to be included in formularies developed by managed care organizations and other organizations may negatively impact the utilization of our products, which could harm our market share and could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Managed care organizations and other third-party payors try to negotiate the pricing of medical services and products to control their costs. Managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers typically develop formularies to reduce their cost for medications. Formularies can be based on the prices and therapeutic benefits of the available products. Due to their lower costs, generic products are often favored. The breadth of the products covered by formularies varies considerably from one managed care organization to another, and many formularies include alternative and competitive products for treatment of particular medical conditions. Failure to be included in such formularies or to achieve favorable formulary status may negatively impact the utilization and market share of our products. If our products are not included within an adequate number of formularies or adequate reimbursement levels are not provided, or if those policies increasingly favor generic products, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Manufacturing and Supply Risks

If we or our third-party manufacturers are unable to manufacture our products or the manufacturing process is interrupted due to failure to comply with regulations or for other reasons, the interruption of the manufacture of our products could adversely affect our business. Other manufacturing and supply difficulties or delays may also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our manufacturing facilities and those of our contract manufacturers must be inspected and found to be in full compliance with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”), quality system management requirements or similar standards before approval for marketing. Our failure or that of our contract manufacturers to comply with cGMP regulations, quality system management requirements or similar regulations outside of the U.S. can result in enforcement action by the FDA or its foreign counterparts, including, but not limited to, warning letters, fines, injunctions, civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production or importation, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approval for approved or in-market products, refusal of the government to renew marketing applications or approve pending applications or supplements, suspension of ongoing clinical trials, imposition of new manufacturing requirements, closure of facilities and criminal prosecution. These enforcement actions could lead to a delay or suspension in production, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our manufacturing and other processes use complicated and sophisticated equipment, which sometimes requires a significant amount of time to obtain and install. Manufacturing complexity, testing requirements and safety and security processes combine to increase the overall difficulty of manufacturing these products and resolving manufacturing problems that we may encounter.

Page 42: 10-K filed

17

Page 43: 10-K filed

Although we endeavor to properly maintain our equipment (and require our contract manufacturers to properly maintain their equipment), including through on-site quality control and experienced manufacturing supervision, and have key spare parts on hand, our business could suffer if certain manufacturing or other equipment, or all or a portion of our or their facilities, were to become inoperable for a period of time. This could occur for various reasons, including catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes or other natural disasters, explosions, environmental accidents, pandemics, quarantine, equipment failures or delays in obtaining components or replacements, construction delays or defects and other events, both within and outside of our control. We could experience substantial production delays or inventory shortages in the event of any such occurrence until we or they repair such equipment or facility or we or they build or locate replacement equipment or a replacement facility, as applicable, and seek to obtain necessary regulatory approvals for such replacement. Any interruption in our manufacture of products could adversely affect the sales of our current products or introduction of new products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

In addition, if we fail to properly forecast demand for, or to maintain an adequate supply of, raw materials or finished product, this could result in supply interruptions or inventory shortages, which could adversely affect the sales of our products or the effective launch of new products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

The supply of our products to our customers (or, in some case, supply from our contract manufacturers to us) is subject to and dependent upon the use of transportation services. Disruption of transportation services (including as a result of weather conditions) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline. In addition, any prolonged disruption in the operations of our existing distribution facilities, whether due to technical, labor or other difficulties, weather conditions, equipment malfunction, contamination, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, destruction of or damage to any facility or other reasons, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

For some of our finished products and raw materials, we obtain supply from one or a limited number of sources. If we are unable to obtain components or raw materials, or products supplied by third parties, our ability to manufacture and deliver our products to the market would be impeded, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Some components and raw materials used in our manufactured products, and some finished products sold by us, are currently available only from one or a limited number of domestic or foreign suppliers. In the event an existing supplier fails to supply product on a timely basis and/or in the requested amount, supplies product that fails to meet regulatory requirements, becomes unavailable through business interruption or financial insolvency or loses its regulatory status as an approved source or we are unable to renew current supply agreements when such agreements expire and we do not have a second supplier, we may be unable to obtain the required components, raw materials or products on a timely basis or at commercially reasonable prices. We attempt to mitigate these risks by maintaining safety stock of these products, but such safety stock may not be sufficient. A prolonged interruption in the supply of a single-sourced raw material, including the active pharmaceutical ingredient, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Furthermore, we rely on these third party manufacturers to obtain and maintain the required approvals of their facilities and to maintain their facilities and equipment in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While we attempt to build in certain contractual obligations on such third party manufacturers, we may not be able to ensure that such third parties comply with these obligations, with the result that the approval and/or production of our products may be delayed or interrupted. In addition, these third party manufacturers may have the ability to increase the supply price payable by us for the manufacture and supply of our products, in some cases without our consent. Our dependence upon others to manufacture our products may adversely affect our profit margins and our ability to obtain approval for and produce our products on a timely and competitive basis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Commercialization and Distribution Risks

Our approved products may not achieve or maintain expected levels of market acceptance.

Even if we are able to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical and medical device products, generic or branded, the success of these products is dependent upon achieving and maintaining market acceptance. Commercializing products is time consuming, expensive and unpredictable. There can be no assurance that we will be able to, either by ourselves or in collaboration with our partners or through our licensees or distributors, successfully commercialize new products or gain market acceptance for such products. New product candidates that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market

Page 44: 10-K filed

18

Page 45: 10-K filed

or may have only limited or no commercial success. Levels of market acceptance for our new products could be impacted by several factors, some of which are not within our control, including but not limited to the:

Further, the market perception and reputation of our products and their safety and efficacy are important to our business and the continued acceptance of our products. Any negative publicity about our products, such as the discovery of safety issues with our products, adverse events involving our products, or even public rumors about such events, may have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate (or are perceived to implicate) an entire class of products or the withdrawal or recall of such similar products could have an adverse effect on sales of our products. Accordingly, new data about our products, or products similar to our products, could cause us reputational harm and could negatively impact demand for our products due to real or perceived side effects or uncertainty regarding safety or efficacy and, in some cases, could result in product withdrawal.

If our products fail to gain, or lose, market acceptance, our revenues would be adversely impacted which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Our business may be impacted by seasonality, which may cause our operating results and financial condition to fluctuate.

Demand for certain of our products may be impacted by seasonality. Historically, revenues from our business tend to be weighted toward the second half of the year. Sales in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on consumer and customer purchasing patterns associated with healthcare reimbursement programs. Further, the third quarter “back to school” period impacts demand for certain of our dermatology products. This seasonality may cause our operating results to fluctuate. However, as we continue our strategy of selective acquisitions to expand our product portfolio, there are no assurances that these historical trends will continue in the future.

We have entered into distribution agreements with other companies to distribute certain of our products at supply prices based on net sales. Declines in the pricing and/or volume, over which we have no or limited control, of such products, and therefore the amounts paid to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Certain of our generic products and certain of our other products are the subject of various agreements, pursuant to which we manufacture and sell products to other companies, which distribute such products at a supply price typically based on net sales. Our ability to control pricing and volume of these products is limited and, in some cases, these companies make all distribution and pricing decisions independently of us. If the pricing or volume of such products declines, our revenues would be adversely impacted which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We may experience declines in sales volumes or prices of certain of our products as the result of the concentration of sales to wholesalers and the continuing trend towards consolidation of such wholesalers and other customer groups and this could have a material adverse

• safety, efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness of our products compared to products of our competitors;

• scope of approved uses and marketing approval;

• availability of patent or regulatory exclusivity;

• timing of market approvals and market entry;

• availability of alternative products from our competitors;

• acceptance of the price of our products;

• effectiveness of our sales forces and promotional efforts;

• the level of reimbursement of our products;

• acceptance of our products on government and private formularies;

• ability to market our products effectively at the retail level or in the appropriate setting of care; and

• the reputation of our products

Page 46: 10-K filed

impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

19

Page 47: 10-K filed

For certain of our products, a significant portion of our sales are to a relatively small number of customers. If our relationship with one or more of such customers is disrupted or changes adversely or if one or more of such customers experience financial difficulty or other material adverse change in their businesses, it could materially and adversely affect our sales and financial results, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

In addition, wholesalers and retail drug chains have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation. This consolidation may result in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business. The result of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Risks related to Specific Legislation and Regulations

We are subject to various laws and regulations, including “fraud and abuse” laws, anti-bribery laws, environmental laws and privacy and security regulations, and a failure to comply with such laws and regulations or prevail in any litigation related to noncompliance could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Pharmaceutical and medical device companies have faced lawsuits and investigations pertaining to violations of health care “fraud and abuse” laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”) and other state and federal laws and regulations. We are subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse. The AKS prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving remuneration to induce or in return for purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for the purchase, lease or order of any healthcare item or service reimbursable under federally financed healthcare programs. This statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements between pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers, on the one hand, and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers and other health care related professionals, on the other hand. Due to recent legislative changes, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the AKS constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the false claims statutes. More generally, the federal False Claims Act, among other things, prohibits any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federal government. Pharmaceutical and medical device companies have been prosecuted or faced civil liability under these laws for a variety of alleged promotional and marketing activities, including engaging in off-label promotion that caused claims to be submitted for non-covered off-label uses.

We also face increasingly strict data privacy and security laws in the U.S. and in other countries, the violation of which could result in fines and other sanctions. The United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General recommends and increasingly states require pharmaceutical companies to have comprehensive compliance programs. In addition, the Physician Payment Sunshine Act enacted in 2010 imposes reporting and disclosure requirements on device and drug manufacturers for any “transfer of value” made or distributed to prescribers and other healthcare providers. Failure to submit this required information may result in significant civil monetary penalties. While we have developed corporate compliance programs based on what we believe to be current best practices, we cannot assure you that we or our employees or agents are or will be in compliance with all applicable federal, state or foreign regulations and laws. If we are in violation of any of these requirements or any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant criminal and civil fines and penalties, exclusion from federal healthcare programs or other sanctions.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption and in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of which may be state controlled, in a manner that is different than in the U.S. and Canada. We cannot assure you that our internal control policies and procedures will protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in criminal or civil penalties or remedial measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We are subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment, safety matters, regulation of chemicals and product safety in the countries where we manufacture and sell our products or otherwise operate our business. These requirements include regulation of the handling, manufacture, transportation, use and disposal of materials, including the discharge of pollutants into the environment. In the normal course of our business, hazardous substances may be released into the environment, which could cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and which could subject us to remediation obligations regarding contaminated soil and groundwater or potential liability for damage claims. Under certain laws, we may be required to remediate contamination at certain of our properties regardless of whether the contamination was caused by us or by previous occupants of

20

the property or by others. In recent years, the operations of all companies have become subject to increasingly stringent legislation and regulation related to occupational safety and health, product registration and environmental protection. Such legislation and regulations are complex and constantly changing, and future changes in laws or regulations may require us to install additional controls for certain of our emission sources, to undertake changes in our manufacturing processes or to remediate soil or groundwater contamination at facilities where such cleanup is not currently required.

We are also subject to various privacy and security regulations, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (as amended, “HIPAA”). HIPAA mandates, among other things, the adoption of uniform standards for the electronic exchange of information in common health care transactions (e.g., health care claims information and plan eligibility, referral certification and authorization, claims status, plan enrollment, coordination of benefits and related information), as well as standards relating to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information, which require the adoption of administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect such information. In addition, many states have enacted comparable laws addressing the privacy and security of health information, some of which are more stringent than HIPAA. Failure to comply with these laws can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties. The costs of compliance with these laws and the potential liability associated with the failure to comply with these laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Legislative or regulatory reform of the healthcare system may affect our ability to sell our products profitably and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

In the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our products profitably. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Health Care Reform Act”) may affect the operational results of companies in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, including the Company and other healthcare related industries, by imposing on them additional costs. Effective January 1, 2010, the Health Care Reform Act increased the minimum Medicaid drug rebates for pharmaceutical companies, expanded the 340B drug discount program, and made changes to affect the Medicare Part D coverage gap, or "donut hole". The law also revised the definition of "average manufacturer price" for reporting purposes, which has the potential to affect the amount of our Medicaid drug rebates to states. Beginning in 2011, the law imposed a significant annual fee on companies that manufacture or import branded prescription drug products. Finally, the law imposed an annual tax on manufacturers of certain medical devices. The Health Care Reform Act also added substantial new provisions affecting compliance, some of which, such as the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, may require us to modify our business practices with health care practitioners.

We are unable to predict the future course of federal or state health care legislation. A variety of federal and state agencies are in the process of implementing the Health Care Reform Act, including through the issuance of rules, regulations or guidance that materially affect our business. The risk of our being found in violation of these rules and regulations is increased by the fact that many of them have not been fully interpreted by applicable regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of interpretations. The Health Care Reform Act and further changes to health care laws or regulatory framework that reduce our revenues or increase our costs could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Other Risks

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate.

Our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for a number of reasons. The following events or occurrences, among others, could cause fluctuations in our financial performance from period to period:

• development and launch of new competitive products;

• the timing and receipt of FDA approvals or lack of approvals;

• costs related to business development transactions;

• changes in the amount we spend to promote our products;

• delays between our expenditures to acquire new products, technologies or businesses and the generation of revenues from those acquired products, technologies or businesses;

Page 50: 10-K filed

21

• changes in treatment practices of physicians that currently prescribe certain of our products;

Page 51: 10-K filed

As a result, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of results from operations, or any other similar period-to-period comparisons, should not be construed as reliable indicators of our future performance. The above factors may cause our operating results to fluctuate and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In any quarterly period, our results may be below the expectations of market analysts and investors, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

We have significant goodwill and other intangible assets and potential impairment of goodwill and other intangibles may significantly impact our profitability.

Goodwill and intangible assets represent a significant portion of our total assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are subject to an impairment analysis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. If an impairment exists, we would be required to take an impairment charge with respect to the impaired asset. Events giving rise to impairment are difficult to predict and are an inherent risk in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. As a result of the significance of goodwill and intangible assets, our financial condition and results of operations in a future period could be negatively impacted should such an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets occur, which could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

We may incur substantial costs with respect to pension and other healthcare benefits provided to B&L employees.

B&L had established certain pension and other benefits plans, pursuant to which they provided pension and current and post-retirement medical and other health and welfare benefits to their employees. Following the B&L Acquisition, we have assumed the obligations under these plans (some of which are underfunded). We will incur costs with respect to these pension and other healthcare benefits, and these costs may increase substantially in the future.

Dividends

No dividends were declared or paid in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

While our Board of Directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, as amended and our bond indentures include restrictions on the payment of dividends.

See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Selected Financial Information — Cash Dividends”, for additional details about our dividend payments.

Restrictions on Share Ownership by Non-Canadians

There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or in our organizational documents on the right of foreigners to hold or vote securities of our Company, except that the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (the “Investment Canada Act”) may require review and approval by the Minister of Industry (Canada) of certain acquisitions of “control” of our Company by a “non-Canadian”.

Investment Canada Act

An acquisition of control of a Canadian business by a non-Canadian is either reviewable (a “Reviewable Transaction”), in which case it is subject to both a reporting obligation and an approval process, or notifiable, in which case it is subject to only a post-closing reporting obligation. In the case of a Reviewable Transaction, the non-Canadian acquirer must submit an application for review with the prescribed information. The responsible Minister is then required to determine whether the Reviewable Transaction is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, taking into account the assessment factors specified in the Investment Canada Act and any written undertakings that may have been given by the non-Canadian acquirer.

In March 2009, the Investment Canada Act was amended to provide that any investment by a non-Canadian in a Canadian business, even where control has not been acquired, can be reviewed on grounds of whether it may be injurious to national security. Where an investment is determined to be injurious to national security, Cabinet can prohibit closing or, if closed, can order the investor to divest control. Short of a prohibition or divestment order, Cabinet can impose terms or conditions on the investment or can require the investor to provide binding

undertakings to remove the national security concern.

Competition Act

25

Page 56: 10-K filed

Part IX of the Competition Act (Canada) (the “Competition Act”) requires that a pre-merger notification filing be submitted to the Commissioner of Competition (the “Commissioner”) in respect of certain classes of merger transactions that exceed certain prescribed thresholds. If a proposed transaction exceeds such thresholds, subject to certain exceptions, the notification filing must be submitted to the Commissioner and the statutory waiting period must expire or be terminated early or waived by the Commissioner before the transaction can be completed.

All mergers, regardless of whether they are subject to Part IX of the Competition Act, are subject to the substantive mergers provisions under Section 92 of the Competition Act. In particular, the Commissioner may challenge a transaction before the Competition Tribunal where the transaction prevents or lessens, or is likely to prevent or lessen, competition substantially in a market. The Commissioner may not make an application to the Competition Tribunal under Section 92 of the Competition Act more than one year after the merger has been substantially completed.

Exchange Controls

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no Canadian restrictions on the repatriation of capital or earnings of a Canadian public company to non-resident investors. There are no laws in Canada or exchange restrictions affecting the remittance of dividends, profits, interest, royalties and other payments to non-resident holders of our securities, except as discussed in “Taxation” below.

Taxation

Canadian Federal Income Taxation

The following discussion is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a holder of our common shares who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Income Tax Regulations (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) deals at arm’s-length with, and is not affiliated with, our Company, beneficially owns its common shares as capital property, does not use or hold such common shares in a business carried on or deemed to be carried on in Canada, and has not entered into, with respect to their Shares, a “derivative forward agreement” as defined in the Act, and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Canadian Tax Act and the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980, as amended) (the “U.S. Treaty”), is resident in the U.S., is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and is eligible for benefits under the U.S. Treaty (a “U.S. Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in the summary, may apply to a non-resident holder that is an insurer that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an “authorized foreign bank” as defined in the Canadian Tax Act.

The U.S. Treaty includes limitation on benefits rules that restrict the ability of certain persons who are resident in the U.S. to claim any or all benefits under the U.S. Treaty. Furthermore, limited liability companies (“LLCs”) that are not taxed as corporations pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) do not generally qualify as resident in the U.S. for purposes of the U.S. Treaty. Under the U.S. Treaty, a resident of the U.S. who is a member of such an LLC and is otherwise eligible for benefits under the U.S. Treaty may generally be entitled to claim benefits under the U.S. Treaty in respect of income, profits or gains derived through the LLC. Residents of the U.S. should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their eligibility for benefits under the U.S. Treaty, having regard to these rules.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the U.S. Treaty and the Canadian Tax Act and our understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the U.S. Treaty and the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate changes in law or administrative policies and assessing practices, whether by judicial, regulatory, administrative or legislative decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax legislation or considerations, which may differ from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice generally or to any particular holder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

Gains on Disposition of Common Shares

In general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on capital gains arising on the disposition of such holder’s common shares unless the common shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the U.S. Holder and are not “treaty-protected property”.

26

Page 57: 10-K filed

As long as the common shares are then listed on a “designated stock exchange”, which currently includes the NYSE and TSX, the common shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Holder, unless (a) at any time during the 60-month period preceding the disposition, the U.S. Holder, persons not dealing at arm’s length with such U.S. Holder or the U.S. Holder together with all such persons, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company and more than 50% of the fair market value of the common shares was derived, directly or indirectly, from any combination of (i) real or immoveable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource property” (as such term is defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource property” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), or (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties whether or not the property exists, or (b) the common shares are otherwise deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Common shares will be treaty-protected property where the U.S. Holder is exempt from income tax under the Canadian Tax Act on the disposition of common shares because of the U.S. Treaty. Common shares owned by a U.S. Holder will generally be treaty-protected property where the value of the common shares is not derived principally from real property situated in Canada, as defined in the U.S. Treaty.

Dividends on Common Shares

Dividends paid or credited on the common shares or deemed to be paid or credited on the common shares to a U.S. Holder that is the beneficial owner of such dividends will generally be subject to non-resident withholding tax under the Canadian Tax Act and the U.S. Treaty at the rate of (a) 5% of the amounts paid or credited if the U.S. Holder is a company that owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of our voting stock, or (b) 15% of the amounts paid or credited in all other cases. The rate of withholding under the Canadian Tax Act in respect of dividends paid to non-residents of Canada is 25% where no tax treaty applies.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

In formation required under this Item will be included in our definitive proxy statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders expected to be filed with the SEC no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K (the “2014 Proxy Statement”), and such required information is incorporated herein by reference.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Company and Affiliated Purchases

On November 19, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2012 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 15, 2012, we could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The 2012 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 14, 2013.

On November 21, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2013 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 22, 2013, we may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of our convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The 2013 Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 21, 2014 or at such time as we complete our purchases.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, we repurchased 507,957 of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $35.7 million. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, we did not make any purchases of our senior notes or common shares under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program or the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.

COMPANY PROFILE

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices), which are marketed directly or indirectly in over 100 countries. In the Developed Markets segment, we focus most of our efforts in the eye health, dermatology and neurology therapeutic classes. In the Emerging Markets segment, we focus primarily on branded generics, OTC products, and medical devices. We are diverse not only in our sources of revenue from our broad drug and medical device portfolio, but also among the therapeutic classes and geographic segments we serve.

Effective August 9, 2013, we continued from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the Province of British Columbia, meaning that we became a company registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia as if we had been incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. As a result of this continuance, our legal domicile became the Province of British Columbia, the Canada Business Corporations Act ceased to apply to us and we became subject to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (BCBCA).

On August 5, 2013, we acquired Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated May 24, 2013. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, B&L became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Valeant”), our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “B&L Acquisition”). B&L is a global eye health company that focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and marketing of eye health products, including contact lenses, contact lens care solutions, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic surgical products. We believe we will continue to grow the B&L business due primarily to the expected growth of the overall eye health market and the introduction of new products. Further, we are integrating the B&L business into our decentralized structure which will allow us to continue to realize operational efficiencies and cost synergies. For more information regarding the B&L Acquisition, see note 3 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Our strategy is to focus the business on core geographies and therapeutic classes that offer attractive growth opportunities while maintaining our lower selling, general and administrative cost model and decentralized operating structure. We have an established portfolio of durable products with a focus in the eye health and dermatology therapeutic areas. We believe these areas are particularly attractive given that many of the products in these areas:

• have potential for strong operating margins and solid growth;

• are marked by a higher insured and self-pay component than other therapeutic areas and are less dependent on increasing government reimbursement pressures;

• have limited patent risk;

• have the potential for line extensions and life-cycle management opportunities; and

Another critical element of our strategy is business development. We have completed numerous transactions over the past few years to expand our portfolio offering and geographic footprint, including, among others, the acquisitions of B&L and Medicis

• are smaller on an individual basis, and therefore typically not the focus of larger pharmaceutical companies.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Medicis”). We will continue to pursue value-added business development opportunities as they arise.

The growth of our business is further augmented through our lower risk research and development model. This model allows us to advance certain development programs to drive future commercial growth, while minimizing our research and development expense. This is achieved primarily as follows:

In addition to selective acquisitions and product development, our strategy also involves deploying cash through debt repayments and repurchases, as well as share buybacks.

We believe this strategy will allow us to maximize both the growth rate and profitability of the Company and to enhance shareholder value.

We measure our success through total shareholder return and, on that basis, as of February 21, 2014, the market price of our common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has increased approximately 460%, and the market price of our common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has increased approximately 500%, since the Company’s (then named Biovail Corporation (“Biovail”)) acquisition of Valeant on September 28, 2010 (the “Merger”), as adjusted for the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share (the “post-Merger special dividend”).

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Since 2011, we have completed several transactions to expand our product portfolio, including, among others, the following acquisitions and dispositions.

30

• focusing our efforts on niche therapeutic areas such as eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, including life-cycle management programs for currently marketed products; and

• acquiring dossiers and registrations for branded generic products, which require limited manufacturing start-up and development activities.

(1) The B&L Acquisition included acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets of $418.3 million related to the development of (i) various vision care products, such as the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra), (ii) various pharmaceutical products, such as latanoprostene bunod, a nitric oxide-donating prostaglandin for reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension, and (iii) various surgical products. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. In determining fair value for latanoprostene bunod and the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra), we assumed that material cash inflows for these products would commence in 2016 and 2014, respectively. In September 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra), and the product was launched in February 2014. As of December 31, 2013, we estimated that we will incur remaining development costs, including certain milestone payments, of approximately $90 million, in the aggregate, to complete the development of the IPR&D assets.

(2) The Medicis Acquisition (as defined below) included acquired IPR&D assets of $159.8 million related to the development of several programs, including Luliconazole Cream, Metronidazole 1.3%, and other dermatology and aesthetics programs. The projected cash flows were adjusted for the probability of successful development and commercialization of the products. In determining fair value for these assets, we assumed that significant cash inflows for these products would commence in 2015. In November 2013, the FDA approved the NDA for Luliconazole, which triggered the commencement of amortization. On April 30, 2013, the Company agreed to sell the worldwide rights in its Metronidazole 1.3% Vaginal Gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, to Actavis Specialty Brands for approximately $55 million, which includes upfront and certain

milestone payments, and minimum royalties for the first three years of commercialization. As of December 31, 2013, we estimated that we will incur remaining

development costs of approximately $25 million, in the aggregate, to complete the development of these IPR&D assets.

For more information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions, see note 3, note 4 and note 27 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

PRODUCTS IN DEVELOPMENT

The following products, among others, are currently or were in clinical development during 2013:

B&L Acquisition

With the B&L Acquisition in August 2013, we added several ongoing projects to our research and development portfolio, including:

Medicis Acquisition

With the acquisition of Medicis in December 2012 (the “Medicis Acquisition”), we added several ongoing projects to our research and development portfolio, including:

Other

We also have a number of dermatology product candidates in development including:

• The next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra), with MoistureSeal™ technology, was approved by the FDA in September 2013 and was launched in February 2014. MoistureSeal™ is a unique combination of material chemistry and production process that has been shown to retain moisture throughout the day, which can help reduce blurriness or visual fluctuations associated with lens dryness.

• Biotrue® ONEday lens is made from the bio-inspired material HyperGel™ that mimics the actions of the natural tear film, matches the water content of the eye, and meets the oxygen needs of the eye for daily wear of contact lenses. A multi-focal version of the Biotrue® ONEday lens was approved by the FDA in December 2013 and is targeted for launch in 2014.

• Latanoprostene bunod, a nitric-oxide donating prostaglandin, is being developed for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The product is in Phase 3 testing.

• Brimonidine tartrate 0.025% is being developed as an ocular redness reliever. Phase 2 studies have demonstrated fast onset and long-lasting efficacy, with low potential for rebound redness. The product is in Phase 3 testing.

• Luliconazole, a new imidazole, antimycotic cream for the treatment of tinea cruris, pedis and corporis. The NDA was submitted to the FDA on December 11, 2012. The FDA approved the NDA for Luliconazole under the name Luzu™ in November 2013, and the product is targeted for launch in early 2014.

• Metronidazole 1.3%, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis. In April 2013, we agreed to sell the worldwide rights for Metronidazole 1.3% to Actavis Specialty Brands. The rights to Metronidazole 1.3% are expected to be transferred to Actavis Specialty Brands at or shortly following the time of FDA approval of the product NDA, when and if obtained. In May 2013, we filed the NDA in the U.S. For more information see note 27 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

• Several unique formulation development programs focused on improving the tolerability of existing acne vulgaris treatments, as well as a number of aesthetics programs.

• IDP-108 (efinaconazole), to be marketed as Jublia ® , a novel triazole compound, is an antifungal targeted to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails primarily in older adults. Valeant holds an exclusive license from Kaken Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., to commercialize efinaconazole in North America, Central America, South America and the European Union.

The mechanism of antifungal activity appears similar to other antifungal triazoles, i.e., ergosterol synthesis inhibition. Jublia ® was approved in Canada in October 2013, and we are targeting a launch in Canada in the second quarter of 2014. We filed the NDA in the U.S. in July 2012. As announced in May 2013, we received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA regarding our NDA for Jublia ® . We are in the process of addressing the issues raised by the FDA in its letter.

RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION

In connection with the B&L and Medicis acquisitions, as well as the Merger and other smaller acquisitions, we have implemented cost-rationalization and integration initiatives to capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures included:

B&L Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The complementary nature of the Company and B&L businesses has provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. In total, we have identified greater than $850 million of cost synergies on an annual run rate basis that we expect to achieve by the end of 2014. This amount does not include potential revenue synergies or the potential benefits of incorporating B&L’s operations into the Company’s corporate structure.

We estimate that we will incur total costs that are approximately half of the estimated annual synergies of greater than $850 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2014. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $364.2 million (including (i) $181.3 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $14.1 million of acquisition-related costs, and (iii) $168.8 million of integration expenses) have been incurred through December 31, 2013. The estimate of total costs to be incurred primarily includes: employee termination costs payable to approximately 2,500 employees of the Company and B&L who have been or will be terminated as a result of the B&L Acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. These estimates do not include charges of $48.5 million and $4.3 million recognized and paid in the third quarter of 2013 related to the previously cancelled B&L’s performance-based options and the acceleration of unvested stock options for B&L employees as a result of the B&L Acquisition, respectively.

Medicis Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The complementary nature of the Company and Medicis businesses has provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. In total, we have realized over $300 million of cost synergies on a run rate basis as of December 31, 2013.

We estimated that we will incur total costs of less than $250 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which were substantially completed by the end of 2013. However, certain costs may still be incurred in 2014. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $181.3 million (including (i) $109.2 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $32.2 million of acquisition-related costs, which excludes $24.2 million of acquisition-related costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to royalties to be paid to Galderma S.A. on sales of Sculptra®, and (iii) $39.9 million of integration expenses) have been incurred through December 31, 2013. The estimated costs primarily include: employee termination costs payable to approximately 750 employees of the Company and Medicis who have been terminated as a result of the Medicis Acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. These estimates do not include a charge of $77.3 million recognized and paid in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to the

• Topical and other life-cycle management projects, including IDP-118.

• workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

• closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

• leveraging research and development spend; and

• procurement savings.

acceleration of unvested stock options, restricted stock awards, and share appreciation rights for Medicis employees that was triggered by the change in control.

Page 68: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Merger-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The complementary nature of the Biovail and Valeant businesses provided an opportunity to capture significant operating synergies from reductions in research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses. In total, we realized approximately $350 million of annual cost synergies as of December 31, 2012. Approximately $315 million of cost synergies were realized in 2011, and the full amount of $350 million was realized in 2012.

See note 6 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for detailed information summarizing the major components of costs incurred in connection with our B&L, Medicis, and Merger acquisition-related initiatives through December 31, 2013.

U.S. HEALTHCARE REFORM

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Act contains several provisions that impact our business. Provisions of the Act include: (i) an increase in the minimum Medicaid rebate to states participating in the Medicaid program from 15.1% to 23.1% on covered drugs; (ii) the extension of the Medicaid rebate to Managed Care Organizations that dispense drugs to Medicaid beneficiaries; and (iii) the expansion of the 340(B) Public Health Services drug pricing program, which provides outpatient drugs at reduced rates, to include additional hospitals, clinics, and healthcare centers.

Commencing in 2011, the legislation requires that drug manufacturers provide a 50% discount to Medicare beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap. In addition, commencing in 2011, a new fee has been assessed on prescription drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). This fee is calculated based upon each entity’s relative share of total applicable branded prescription drug sales to specified U.S. government programs for the preceding calendar year. The aggregate industry wide fee is expected to total $28.0 billion through 2019, ranging from $2.5 billion to $4.1 billion annually.

Additional provisions of the Act will be implemented in the next several years. In 2013, federal subsidies began to be phased in for brand-name prescription drugs filled in the Medicare Part D cover gap. Also in January 2013, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued final regulations to implement the physician payment disclosure provisions of the Act, which requires pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers to disclose publicly certain payments to physicians. The law requires the medical device industry to subsidize healthcare reform in the form of a 2.3% excise tax on U.S. sales of most medical devices beginning in 2013. In 2014, the Act’s private health insurance exchanges will begin to operate along with the mandate on individuals to purchase health insurance. The Act also allows states to expand Medicaid coverage with most of the expansion’s cost paid for by the federal government. While some states have decided to pursue such expansions, others have indicated they will not do so or are still considering doing so.

The Act did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operation in 2013, 2012 or 2011. In 2013, 2012 and 2011, we made total payments of $2.4 million, $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the annual fee assessed on prescription drug manufacturers and importers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified U.S. government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid). We also incurred costs of $28.8 million, $9.8 million and $6.0 million on Medicare Part D utilization incurred by beneficiaries whose prescription drug costs cause them to be subject to the Medicare Part D coverage gap (i.e., the “donut hole”) in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Under the legislation, the total cost incurred by us for the medical device excise tax during 2013 was $4.2 million.

While the Supreme Court upheld the core provisions of the Act, additional challenges to various provisions of the Act continue to work their way through the courts. We cannot predict at this time what impact these challenges will have on our business. Similarly, we cannot predict how the numerous regulations and requirements still to be proposed or finalized by the Administration and the states will impact our business.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $2.5 million in 2013, primarily related to the performance of joint ventures acquired in connection with the B&L Acquisition.

Cash Dividends

No dividends were declared or paid in 2013, 2012 or 2011. While our Board of Directors will review our dividend policy from time to time, we currently do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the covenants contained in the Third Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) and our bond indentures include restrictions on the payment of dividends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Reportable Segments

As a result of our acquisition strategy and continued growth, impacted by the December 2012 Medicis Acquisition, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), began to manage the business differently in 2013, which necessitated a realignment of the segment structure, effective in the first quarter of 2013. Pursuant to this change, we now have two operating and reportable segments: (i) Developed Markets, and (ii) Emerging Markets. Accordingly, we have restated prior period segment information to conform to the current period presentation. The following is a brief description of our segments as of December 31, 2013:

Revenues By Segment

Our primary sources of revenues are the sale of pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical devices, as well as contract services. The following table displays revenues by segment for each of the last three years, the percentage of each segment’s revenues compared with total revenues in the respective year, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment’s revenues. Percentages may not sum due to rounding.

• a decrease of $16.8 million in loss on extinguishment of debt, as described below under “Results of Operations — Non-Operating Income (Expense) — Loss on Extinguishment of Debt”.

• Developed Markets consists of (i) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products, as well as alliance and contract service revenues, in the areas of eye health, dermatology and podiatry, aesthetics, and dentistry, (ii) sales in the U.S. of pharmaceutical products indicated for the treatment of neurological and other diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired, and (iii) pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and Japan.

• Emerging Markets consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products and branded pharmaceuticals, OTC products, and medical device products. Products are sold primarily in Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Poland and Russia), Asia, Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets), Africa and the Middle East.

Total revenues increased $1,052.9 million , or 43% , to $3,480.4 million in 2012, compared with $2,427.5 million in 2011, mainly attributable to the effect of the following factors:

• in the Developed Markets segment:

• the incremental product sales revenue of $2,051.0 million (which includes a negative foreign currency exchange impact of $12.5 million), in the aggregate, from all 2012 acquisitions and all 2013 acquisitions, primarily from (i) the 2012 acquisitions of Medicis (mainly driven by Solodyn®, Restylane®, Dysport®, Vanos®, Ziana® and Perlane® product sales), OraPharma (mainly driven by Arestin® product sales), certain assets of J&J North America (mainly driven by Ambi®, Shower to Shower® and Purpose® product sales) and certain assets of QLT (Visudyne® product sales); and (ii) the 2013 acquisitions of B&L (driven by Lotemax® Gel, PreserVision® and SofLens® Daily Disposable Contact Lenses product sales), and Obagi (mainly driven by Nu-Derm® and Obagi-C® product sales); and

• an increase in product sales from the existing business (excluding the declines described below) of $163.4 million, or 7%, in 2013, driven by growth of the core dermatology brands, including CeraVe® and Acanya®.

• decrease in product sales of $293.9 million in 2013, primarily related to a decline in sales of the Zovirax® franchise, Retin-A Micro®, BenzaClin® and Cesamet® due to generic competition. As a result of the approval of a generic Zovirax® ointment in April 2013, we anticipate a continuing decline in Zovirax® ointment revenues in the future, and such declines could be material. Refer to note 5 to the 2013 Financial Statements for details regarding Zovirax® agreements entered into in April 2013 with Actavis, Inc. (“Actavis”). We also anticipate a continuing decline in sales of Retin-A Micro®, BenzaClin® and Cesamet® due to continued generic erosion, however the rate of decline is expected to decrease in the future, and these brands are expected to represent a declining percentage of total revenues primarily due to anticipated growth in other parts of our business and recent acquisitions;

• a decrease in alliance and royalty revenue of $59.8 million, primarily related to the $45.0 million milestone payment received from GSK in connection with the launch of Potiga® recognized in the second quarter of 2012 that did not similarly occur in 2013;

• a negative impact from divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $44.8 million in 2013;

• a negative foreign currency exchange impact on the existing business of $19.9 million in 2013; and

• a decrease in service revenue of $5.1 million in 2013, primarily due to lower contract manufacturing revenue from the Laval, Quebec facility, which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Dermik business from Sanofi in December 2011.

• in the Emerging Markets segment:

• the incremental product sales revenue of $415.6 million (which includes a negative foreign currency exchange impact of $9.7 million), in the aggregate, from all 2012 acquisitions and all 2013 acquisitions, primarily from (i) the 2012 acquisitions of certain assets of Gerot Lannach and Atlantis and (ii) the 2013 acquisition of B&L (driven by ReNu Multiplus®, SofLens® and SofLens® Daily Disposable Contact Lenses product sales) and Natur Produkt; and

• an increase in product sales from the existing business of $107.8 million, or 11%, in 2013 driven by growth in Poland and Russia.

• a negative impact from divestitures, discontinuations and supply interruptions of $23.0 million in 2013; and

Segment Profit

Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs, in-process research and development impairments and other charges and other expense, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing segment financial performance. In addition, share-based compensation is not allocated to segments, since the amount of such expense depends on company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

The following table displays profit by segment for each of the last three years, the percentage of each segment’s profit compared with corresponding segment revenues in the respective year, and the dollar and percentage change in the dollar amount of each segment’s profit. Percentages may not add due to rounding.

• an increase in service revenue of $28.8 million in 2012, primarily from contract manufacturing revenue from the Laval, Quebec facility, which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Dermik business from Sanofi in December 2011.

• a decrease in product sales of $115.9 million, in the aggregate, primarily related to a decline in sales of Cardizem® CD, Cesamet®, Ultram® ER, Diastat® and Wellbutrin XL® due to the impact of generic competition;

• a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $58.6 million in 2012, including a decrease of $42.8 million in 2012 related to IDP-111 royalty revenue as a result of the sale of IDP-111 in February 2012;

• alliance revenue of $40.0 million recognized in the second quarter of 2011, related to the milestone payment received from GSK in connection with the launch of Trobalt®; and

Cost of Alliance and Service Revenues

Cost of alliance and services revenues reflects the costs associated with providing contract services to, and generating alliance revenue from, external customers.

Cost of alliance and service revenues decreased $5.8 million , or 9% , to $58.8 million in 2013, compared with $64.6 million in 2012, primarily due to lower contract manufacturing revenue from the Laval, Quebec facility, which was acquired as part of the acquisition of the Dermik business from Sanofi in December 2011.

Cost of alliance and service revenues increased $52.3 million to $64.6 million in 2012, compared with $12.3 million in 2011, primarily due to the inclusion of cost of service revenue from Dermik of $35.7 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include: employee compensation costs associated with sales and marketing, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, and other administrative functions; outside legal fees and consultancy costs; product promotion expenses; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of corporate facilities and equipment; and other general and administrative costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $549.1 million , or 73% , to $1,305.2 million in 2013, compared with $756.1 million in 2012, primarily due to:

As a percentage of revenue, Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 23% in 2013 as compared to 22% in 2012, primarily due to timing of costs incurred and realization of synergies from the B&L Acquisition. The increase in 2013 was also impacted by the net incremental compensation expense of $15.5 million recognized in the second quarter of 2013 (equates to 0.3% of 2013 revenue) described in the preceding paragraph.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $183.6 million , or 32% , to $756.1 million in 2012, compared with $572.5 million in 2011 (as a percentage of revenue, Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 22% in 2012 as compared to 24% in 2011), primarily due to:

• increased sales of Xenazine® which has a lower margin than the rest of the neurology portfolio;

• decreased sales of Cesamet® in Canada which has a higher margin than the rest of our portfolio; and

• the impact of higher acquisition accounting adjustments of $19.5 million, to $78.8 million in 2012, compared with $59.3 million in 2011, related to acquired inventories that were subsequently sold in 2012.

• increased expenses in our Developed Markets segment ($367.8 million) primarily driven by the acquisitions of new businesses within the segment, including the B&L and Medicis acquisitions, partially offset by the realization of cost synergies;

• increased expenses in our Emerging Markets segment ($155.2 million), primarily driven by the acquisitions of new businesses within this segment, including the B&L Acquisition, partially offset by the realization of cost synergies; and

• net incremental compensation expense of $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 related to certain equity awards held by current non-management directors which were modified from units settled in common shares to units settled in cash. See note 17 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information.

• increased expenses in our Developed Markets segment ($172.9 million) and Emerging Markets segment ($51.7 million), primarily driven by the acquisitions of new businesses within these segments.

• decreases of $24.9 million in share-based compensation expense charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012,

primarily due to the vesting of performance stock units as a result of achieving specified performance criteria recognized in 2011 and the impact of the stock option modification recognized in the first quarter of 2011, partially offset by an incremental charge of $4.8 million in 2012 as some of our performance-based RSU grants triggered a partial payout as a result of achieving certain share price appreciation conditions. Refer to note 17 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Expenses related to research and development programs include: employee compensation costs; overhead and occupancy costs; depreciation of research and development facilities and equipment; clinical trial costs; clinical manufacturing and scale-up costs; and other third-party development costs.

Research and development expenses increased $77.7 million , or 98% , to $156.8 million in 2013, compared with $79.1 million in 2012, primarily due to spending on programs acquired in the B&L Acquisition, including latanoprostene bunod and the next generation silicone hydrogel lens (Bausch + Lomb Ultra), partially offset by lower spending on ezogabine/retigabine reflecting the U.S. launch in the second quarter of 2012. See note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information relating to the B&L Acquisition.

Research and development expenses increased $13.4 million, or 20%, to $79.1 million in 2012, compared with $65.7 million in 2011, primarily reflecting spending for a Phase 4 study for Wellbutrin XL® and life-cycle management programs, partially offset by lower spending on ezogabine/retigabine reflecting the U.S. launch in the second quarter of 2012 and the IDP-108 program (an antifungal targeted to treat onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the fingernails and toenails).

Amortization and Impairments of Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets increased $973.1 million , or 105% , to $1,902.0 million in 2013, compared with $928.9 million in 2012, primarily due to (i) a net increase of $525.1 million for ezogabine/retigabine, as the impairment charge of $551.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 was partially offset by lower amortization for ezogabine/retigabine of $26.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, (ii) the amortization of the Medicis, B&L, Eisai and Obagi identifiable intangible assets of $351.9 million, in the aggregate, in 2013, (iii) impairment charges of $31.5 million related to the write-down of the carrying values of assets held for sale related to certain suncare and skincare brands sold primarily in Australia, to their estimated fair value less costs to sell in 2013, (iv) $22.2 million related to the write-off of the carrying value of the Opana® intangible asset in 2013, (v) an increase in the write-offs of $16.9 million, in the aggregate, in 2013, primarily related to the discontinuation of certain products in the Brazilian, Canadian, and Polish markets, and (vi) $10.0 million related to the write-off of certain OTC skincare products in the U.S. in 2013.

As part of our ongoing assessment of potential impairment indicators related to our finite-lived and indefinite-lived intangible assets, we will closely monitor the performance of our product portfolio. If our ongoing assessments reveal indications of impairment, we may determine that an impairment charge is necessary and such charge could be material.

Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets increased $371.1 million, or 67%, to $928.9 million in 2012, compared with $557.8 million in 2011, primarily due to (i) the amortization of the iNova, Dermik, Ortho Dermatologics, OraPharma, Sanitas, Gerot Lannach, PharmaSwiss and Medicis identifiable intangible assets of $210.5 million, in the aggregate, in 2012, (ii) higher amortization of ezogabine/retigabine of $109.8 million in 2012, which was reclassified from IPR&D to a finite-lived intangible asset in December 2011, (iii) impairment charges of $31.3 million related to the write-down of the carrying values of intangible assets related to certain suncare and skincare brands sold primarily in Australia, which were classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2012, to their estimated fair values less costs to sell, (iv) an $18.7 million impairment charge related to the write-down of the carrying value of the Dermaglow® intangible asset, which was classified as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2012, to its estimated fair value less costs to sell, and (v) impairment charges of $13.3 million related to the discontinuation of certain products in the Brazilian and Polish markets.

Restructuring, Integration and Other Costs

We recognized restructuring, integration, and other costs of $514.8 million in 2013, compared with $344.4 million and $97.7 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily related to the B&L and Medicis acquisitions and other acquisitions. Refer to note 6 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

In -Process Research and Development Impairments and Other Charges

In-process research and development impairments and other charges represents impairments and other costs associated with compounds, new indications, or line extensions under development that have not received regulatory approval for marketing at the time of acquisition. IPR&D acquired through an asset acquisition is written off at the acquisition date if the assets have no alternative future use. IPR&D acquired in a business combination is capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets (irrespective of whether these assets have an alternative future use) until completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. Costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D assets are expensed as incurred.

In 2013, we recorded charges of $153.6 million , primarily due to the write-off of (i) $93.8 million relating to the modified-release

(“Aton”) acquisition in May 2010, mainly related to the termination of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program, (iii) $14.4 million related to the termination of the Mapracorat development program, and (iv) $8.8 million related to a Xerese® life-cycle product. Refer note 12 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information.

In 2012, we recorded charges of $189.9 million, primarily due to (i) $133.4 million for the write-off of an acquired IPR&D asset related to the IDP-107 dermatology program, which was acquired in September 2010 as part of the Merger, (ii) an impairment charge of $24.7 million related to a Xerese® life-cycle product, (iii) $12.0 million related to a payment to terminate a research and development commitment with a third party, (iv) $5.0 million related to an upfront payment to acquire the North American rights to Emervel®, and (v) $5.0 million related to the IDP-108 program, including an upfront payment to expand our rights to IDP-108 to include additional territories as well as a milestone payment. Refer note 12 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information.

In 2011, we recorded charges of $109.2 million primarily related to the impairment of acquired IPR&D assets relating to the A002, A004, and A006 programs acquired as part of the Aton acquisition in 2010, as well as the IDP-109 and IDP-115 dermatology programs ($105.2 million). The impairment charges were triggered in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to unfavorable study results, feedback received from the FDA which would result in the incurrence of higher costs to perform additional studies, reassessment of risk and the probability of success, and/or pipeline prioritization decisions resulting in the re-allocation of our resources to other research and development (“R&D”) programs.

Acquisition-Related Costs

Acquisition-related costs decreased $42.2 million , or 54% , to $36.4 million in 2013, compared with $78.6 million in 2012, reflecting higher expenses incurred in 2012 related to the Medicis and OraPharma acquisitions and other 2012 acquisitions, partially offset by acquisition activities in 2013 primarily related to the B&L and Obagi acquisitions. See note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information regarding business combinations.

Acquisition-related costs increased $45.6 million, or 138%, to $78.6 million in 2012, compared with $33.0 million in 2011, reflecting increased acquisition activity during 2012, primarily driven by costs associated with the Medicis Acquisition. The Medicis Acquisition costs included $39.2 million of expenses incurred with respect to an agreement with Galderma S.A (“Galderma”) which, among other things, resolved all claims asserted in Galderma’s pending litigation related to our acquisition of Medicis. Refer to note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

In 2013, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration gain of $29.3 million . The net gain was primarily driven by:

In 2012, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration gain of $5.3 million, primarily driven by (1) a net gain of $10.3 million related to the iNova acquisition due to changes in the estimated probability of achieving the related milestones, partially offset by (2) a net loss of $6.5 million related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into in June 2011, due to fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money, partially offset by changes in the projected revenue forecast. Refer to note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

In 2011, we recognized an acquisition-related contingent consideration gain of $11.0 million, primarily driven by the changes in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration as follows: (1) a gain of $13.2 million and $9.2 million related to the PharmaSwiss and Aton acquisitions, respectively, partially offset by (2) a loss of $11.2 million related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into in June 2011.

• a net gain related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into with Meda Pharma SARL (“Meda”) in June 2011. In April 2013, Mylan Inc. launched a generic Zovirax® ointment, which was earlier than we previously anticipated. Also, in April 2013, we entered into an agreement with Actavis to launch the authorized generic ointment for Zovirax®. Refer to note 5 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further information regarding the agreement with Actavis. As a result of analysis in the third quarter of 2013 of performance trends since the generic entrant, we adjusted the projected revenue forecast, resulting in an acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain of $20.0 million in 2013; and

• a net gain of $6.9 million, which resulted from the termination, in the third quarter of 2013, of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program, which impacted the probability associated with potential milestone payments. Refer to note 7 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further information.

Other expense includes: legal settlements and related fees and gains/losses from the sale of non-core assets.

In 2013, we recorded charges in other expense of $234.4 million , primarily due to (i) a charge of $142.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 related to a settlement agreement with Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Anacor”), (ii) a charge of $50.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to AntiGrippin® litigation , and (iii) a loss of $10.2 million related to the sale of certain skincare products sold primarily in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2013. Refer to note 4 and note 24 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details related to the divestiture of certain skincare products sold in Australia, and the Anacor settlement and AntiGrippin® litigation, respectively.

In 2012, we recorded charges in other expense of $59.3 million , primarily due to legal settlement charges of $56.8 million, mainly related to a settlement of antitrust litigation and the associated legal fees. Refer to note 24 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

In 2011, we recorded charges of $6.6 million , primarily due to (i) the legal settlement charges of $11.8 million primarily due to the settlement of litigation and disputes related to revenue-sharing arrangements with, or other payment obligations to, third parties, partially offset by (ii) a gain of $5.3 million on the out-license of the product rights for Cloderm® in 2011. Refer to note 4 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $362.7 million , or 75% , to $844.3 million in 2013, compared with $481.6 million in 2012, primarily reflecting the following:

As a result of the financing obtained in connection with the B&L Acquisition, we expect an increase in interest expense in future years. Refer to note 14 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Interest expense increased $147.1 million, or 44%, to $481.6 million in 2012, compared with $334.5 million in 2011, primarily reflecting the following:

connection with the financing of the Medicis Acquisition. Refer to note 14 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Those factors were partially offset by:

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2013, we recognized losses of $65.0 million , related primarily due to (i) the redemption of 6.50% senior notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) in December 2013, (ii) the repricing of our Series D tranche B term loan facility and our Series C of the tranche B term loan facility on February 21, 2013, and (iii) the redemption of 9.875% senior notes assumed in connection with the B&L Acquisition in the third quarter of 2013 (see note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information). Refer to note 19 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

In 2012, we recognized losses of $20.1 million, mainly on refinancing of our term loan B facility on October 2, 2012 and the settlement of the 5.375% Convertible Notes.

In 2011, we recognized losses of $36.8 million, primarily related to the repurchase of a portion of the 5.375% Convertible Notes ($31.6 million) and the share settlement of the 4.0% Convertible Notes ($4.7 million). Refer to note 16 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details.

Foreign Exchange and Other

Foreign exchange and other decreased $29.2 million , or 148% , to a loss of $9.5 million in 2013, compared with a gain of $19.7 million in 2012, primarily due to (i) the $29.4 million gain realized in 2012 on an intercompany loan that was not designated as permanent in nature that did not similarly occur in 2013, (ii) an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $8.3 million on an intercompany financing arrangement in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by (iii) the translation gains on intercompany loans in 2013.

Foreign exchange and other gain decreased $6.8 million, or 26%, to $19.7 million in 2012, compared with $26.6 million in 2011. The gain in 2012 was primarily due to a gain of $29.4 million related to an intercompany loan that was not designated as permanent in nature, and therefore the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates was recognized in our consolidated statements of (loss) income. This was partially offset by the translation losses from our European operations in 2012.

Gain on Investments, Net

In 2013, we recognized gain on investment, net of $5.8 million . The gain on investment, net was primarily driven by a realized gain of $4.0 million on the sale of an equity investment acquired as part of the Medicis Acquisition in December 2012.

In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, we invested $60.0 million to acquire shares of common stock of Cephalon. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, we disposed of our entire equity investment in Cephalon for net proceeds of $81.3 million, which resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million that was recognized in earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

Income Taxes

The following table displays the dollar amount of the current and deferred provisions for income taxes for each of the last three years, and

• a decrease of $10.7 million in 2012, related to the repurchases and the settlement of 5.375% senior convertible notes due 2014 (the “5.375% Convertible Notes”);

• a decrease of $10.0 million in 2012 due to the repayment of our previous term loan A facility in the first quarter of 2011;

• a decrease of $4.8 million in 2012 due to an adjustment to amortization of debt issuance costs related to a prior period; and

• a decrease of $4.4 million in 2012 related to the redemption of 4.0% convertible subordinated notes due 2013 (the “4% Convertible Notes”) in the second quarter of 2011.

In 2013, our effective tax rate was impacted by (i) income earned in jurisdictions with a lower statutory rate than in Canada; (ii) the increase in liabilities for uncertain tax positions; (iii) taxable losses in Canada for which no tax benefit will be recognized; (iv) non-deductible stock based compensation and realized foreign exchange gains where a full valuation allowance is recorded against tax loss carryforwards, (v) acquisitions, primarily the B&L Acquisition, which included the expansion of our business into a significant amount of new taxing jurisdictions; and (vi) losses in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than in Canada. Our consolidated foreign rate differential reflects the net total of the tax cost or benefit of income earned or losses incurred in jurisdictions outside of Canada as compared to the net total of the tax cost or benefit of such income (on a jurisdictional basis) at the Canadian statutory rate. Tax costs below the Canadian statutory rate generate a beneficial foreign rate differential as do tax benefits generated in jurisdictions where the statutory tax rate exceeds the Canadian statutory tax rate. It is not expected that the net total of the foreign rate differentials generated in each jurisdiction in which we operate will bear a direct relationship to the net total amount of foreign income (or loss) earned outside of Canada.

In the third quarter of 2013, we assessed the realizability of the U.S. foreign tax credits based on an update to the expectations of future foreign source income in light of the B&L Acquisition. It was determined that it was more likely than not that these credits would not be realizable and as such a valuation allowance was established against them.

In each of the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, we assessed the realizability of a portion of our deferred tax assets related to operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. In 2011, management determined that U.S. federal losses previously subject to a valuation allowance due to limitation restrictions should be written off and the corresponding valuation allowance reversed as of December 31, 2011. In Canada, we released valuation allowance against a portion of the deferred tax assets in respect of our Canadian tax attributes recognized to the extent of deferred tax liabilities from acquisition. We do not believe, due to the purchase price paid for the B&L Acquisition, that any potential 382 limitation to be applied to the acquired B&L net operating losses will have an impact on their realizability. In determining the amount of the valuation allowance that was necessary, we considered the amount of U.S. tax loss carryforwards, Canadian tax loss carryforwards, scientific research and experimental development pool, and investment tax credits that we would more likely than not be able to utilize based on future sources of income.

Fourth Quarter of 2013 Compared to Fourth Quarter of 2012

Results of Operations

Total revenues increased $1,077.5 million , or 109% , to $2,063.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $986.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting the following factors:

Those factors were partially offset by:

Net income attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. was $123.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with net loss attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. of $89.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, reflecting the following factors:

Those factors were partially offset by:

• incremental product sales revenue of $153.4 million, in the aggregate, from all 2012 acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily from the Medicis Acquisition. We also recognized incremental product sales revenue of $945.0 million, in the aggregate, from all 2013 acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily from the B&L, Natur Produkt, and Obagi acquisitions. The incremental product sales revenue from the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions includes a negative foreign exchange impact of $12.7 million, in the aggregate, in the fourth quarter of 2013; and

• incremental product sales revenue of $92.2 million in 2013, related to growth from the existing business (excluding the declines in Developed Markets segment described below), driven by sales of (i) Elidel® and Arestin®, (ii) orphan products (Syprine® and Mephyton®), and (iii) recently launched authorized generic products.

• decrease in product sales in the Developed Markets segment of $77.7 million, in the aggregate, in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily related to a decline in sales of the Retin-A Micro®, Zovirax® franchise and BenzaClin® due to generic competition;

• a negative impact from divestitures and discontinuations of $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013;

• a decrease in alliance revenue of $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily in our Developed Markets segment; and

• an increase in contribution (product sales revenue less cost of goods sold, exclusive of amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets) of $643.6 million , mainly related to the incremental contribution of B&L, Medicis, and Natur Produkt;

• a decrease of $92.9 million in restructuring, integration and other costs. Refer to note 6 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details;

• a decrease of $40.6 million in acquisition-related costs, primarily reflecting higher costs for the Medicis Acquisition in the prior year;

• an increase in the recovery of income taxes of $17.6 million primarily due to an increased amortization addback related to large increases in the intangible book basis pursuant to various acquisitions during 2013; and

• a decrease of $15.2 million in in-process research and development impairments and other charges mainly due to charges in the prior year that did not similarly occur in the fourth quarter of 2013, including (i) an impairment charge of $24.7 million related to a Xerese® life-cycle product, (ii) $5.0 million related to an upfront payment to acquire the North American rights to Emervel®, and (iii) $5.0 million related to an upfront payment to expand our rights to IDP-108 to include additional territories.

Cash Flows From Operations

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $211.9 million , to $279.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $67.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, primarily due to:

Those factors were partially offset by:

• an increase of $100.0 million in interest expense, primarily related to higher debt balances, driven by new borrowings during the period (as described below under “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources — Financial Assets (Liabilities)”);

• an increase of $79.3 million in charges in other expense primarily due to (i) a charge of $50.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to AntiGrippin® litigation and (ii) a loss of $10.2 million related to the sale of certain skincare products sold primarily in Australia in the fourth quarter of 2013. Refer to note 4 and note 24 to the 2013 Financial Statements for further details related to the divestiture of certain skincare products sold in Australia and the AntiGrippin® litigation, respectively;

• an increase of $62.5 million in amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets primarily related to (i) the amortization of the B&L, Medicis, Obagi and Eisai identifiable intangible assets of $139.9 million, in the aggregate, in the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by (ii) lower amortization of $54.8 million related to the legacy Valeant identifiable intangible assets, and (iii) lower amortization of $26.5 million related to the immediate-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine due to the impairment of this asset in the third quarter of 2013. Refer to note 7 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information regarding impairment charges;

• an increase of $39.3 million in research and development expenses primarily due to spending on new programs acquired in the B&L Acquisition. See note 3 to the 2013 Financial Statements for additional information relating to the B&L acquisition;

• a decrease of $32.7 million in acquisition-related contingent consideration gain primarily driven by the contingent consideration net gain recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to the iNova acquisition, primarily due to changes in the estimated probability of achieving the milestones;

• an increase of $17.8 million in loss on extinguishment of debt mainly driven by the redemption of the 2016 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2013; and

• a decrease of $11.5 million in contribution from (i) alliance and royalty revenue and (ii) service revenue (alliance and royalty revenue and service revenue less cost of alliance and service revenue) primarily due to a decrease in alliance revenue from Sculptra® in the fourth quarter of 2013.

• the inclusion of cash flows from the operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 from (i) the 2012 acquisitions, primarily the Medicis Acquisition and (ii) all 2013 acquisitions, primarily the acquisitions of B&L, Natur Produkt and Obagi;

• incremental cash flows from continued growth in the existing business;

• lower payments of $38.5 million related to restructuring, integration and other costs in the fourth quarter of 2013; and

• an increase of $31.4 million due to a correcting adjustment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013 for the B&L acquisition related to a misclassification between cash and accounts payable. As this adjustment did not have a material impact on our previously reported consolidated financial statements, we have not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements. As such, the resulting $31.4 million understatement of cash flows from operations in the third quarter of 2013 (which was offset by a corresponding overstatement of cash flows from investing activities) was corrected in the fourth quarter of 2013.

• an increase in investment in working capital of $212.3 million primarily related to (i) an increase in accounts receivable, reflecting the growth of the business as well as the unfavorable impact from mix between geographies and businesses and (ii) the impact of the changes related to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business;

• an increase in payments of legal settlements and related fees of $163.9 million mainly related to a settlement agreement with Anacor.

• On February 21, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement to effectuate a repricing of our existing Series D tranche B term loan facility (“Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility”) and Series C tranche B term loan facility (the “Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility”) by the issuance of $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion in new incremental term loans (the “Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility” and “Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”, respectively). In connection with the repricing of the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility, we paid a prepayment premium of approximately $23.0 million, equal to 1.0% of the refinanced term loans under the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $21.4 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

• On June 6, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Credit Agreement to implement certain revisions in connection with the B&L Acquisition. The amendment provided for certain revisions in connection with, among other things, the formation of VPII Escrow Corp., the offering of the senior unsecured notes by VPII Escrow Corp., the equity offering, the waiver of certain closing conditions and/or requirements in connection with the incurrence of incremental term loans and/or establishment of incremental revolving commitments related to the B&L Acquisition and the consummation of the B&L Acquisition.

• On June 26, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, allow for the increase in commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the extension of the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility from April 20, 2016 to April 20, 2018, and to amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement. On July 15, 2013, the increase in commitments and maturity extension under the Revolving Credit facility was completed, with commitments increased by $550.0 million to $1.0 billion.

• On June 27, 2013, we priced new incremental term loan facilities in the aggregate principal amount of $4,050.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan Facilities”) under our existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Incremental Term Loan Facilities consist of (1) $850.0 million of tranche A term loans, maturing on April 20, 2016 (the “Series A-2 Tranche A Term Loan Facility”), and (2) $3,200.0 million of tranche B term loans maturing on August 5, 2020 (the “Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). The Incremental Term Loan Facilities closed on August 5, 2013, concurrent with the closing of the B&L Acquisition.

• On July 12, 2013, VPII Escrow Corp. (the “VPII Escrow Issuer”), our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $1,600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the August 2018 Notes and $1,625.0 million aggregate principal amount of the July 2021 Notes in a private placement. At the time of the closing of the B&L Acquisition, (1) the VPII Escrow Issuer was voluntarily liquidated and all of its obligations were assumed by, and all of its assets were distributed to us, (2) we assumed all of the VPII Escrow Issuer’s obligations under the August 2018 Notes and July 2021 Notes and the related indenture and (3) the funds previously held in escrow were released to us and were used to finance the B&L Acquisition as described above.

• On September 17, 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to effectuate a repricing of the Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility by issuance of $1,287.0 million and $990.0 million in new incremental term loans (the “Series D-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility” and “Series C-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”, respectively). Term loans under the Series D-1 Tranche B Term loan Facility and Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series D-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C-2 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, respectively.

• In connection with the B&L Acquisition, we assumed B&L’s outstanding long-term debt, including current portion, of approximately $4,209.9 million at the B&L Acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the Company settled the majority of the assumed long-term debt. As of December 31, 2013 , B&L’s outstanding long-term debt is comprised of the following debentures: (i) 7.125% senior notes, due August 1, 2028, with outstanding principal amount of $11.7 million and (ii) 6.56% senior notes, due August 12, 2026, with outstanding principal amount of less than $0.1 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we repaid the amounts outstanding under the Japanese yen-denominated variable-rate backed secured revolving credit facility (the “Japanese Revolving Credit Facility”) assumed in connection with the B&L Acquisition. In January 2014, the Company terminated the Japanese Revolving Credit Facility.

• On December 2, 2013, we issued $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.625% senior notes due 2021 (the “December 2021 Notes”) in a private placement. The net proceeds of the December 2021 Notes offering were used principally to finance the redemption of all of the 2016 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2013 (as described under the table above).

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

For more information regarding our long-term debt, see note 14 and note 27 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

The senior notes issued by us are our senior unsecured obligations and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The senior notes issued by our subsidiary Valeant are senior unsecured obligations of Valeant and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by us and each of our subsidiaries (other than Valeant) that is a guarantor under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Certain of the future subsidiaries of the Company and Valeant may be required to guarantee the senior notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $5,080.9 million and total liabilities of $3,538.0 million as of December 31, 2013, and net revenues of $1,689.1 million and net loss from operations of $632.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash, cash collected from customers, funds available from our Revolving Credit Facility, issuances of long-term debt and issuances of equity. We believe these sources will be sufficient to meet our current liquidity needs. We have no material commitments for expenditures related to property, plant and equipment. Since part of our business strategy is to expand through strategic acquisitions, we may be required to seek additional debt financing, issue additional equity securities or sell assets, as necessary, to finance future acquisitions or for other general corporate purposes. Our current corporate credit rating is Ba3 for Moody’s Investors Service and BB- for Standard and Poor’s. A downgrade may increase our cost of borrowing and may negatively impact our ability to raise additional debt capital.

As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all of our covenants related to our outstanding debt. As of December 31, 2013, our short-term portion of long-term debt consisted of $204.8 million , in the aggregate, primarily in term loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, due in quarterly installments. We believe our existing cash and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to cover these short-term debt maturities as they become due.

Securities Repurchase Programs

See note 16 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for detailed information regarding our various securities repurchase programs.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLI GATIONS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material future effect on our results of operations, financial condition, capital expenditures, liquidity, or capital resources.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2013 :

61

• On December 20, 2013, we entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement to allow for the extension of the maturity of all or a portion of the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loans and Series A-2 Tranche A Term Loans outstanding from April 20, 2016 to October 20, 2018 (as extended, the “Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility”). Some of the lenders exchanged and/or converted a portion or all of their existing term loans outstanding under the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility and Series A-2 Tranche A Term Loan Facility into the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility. In addition, several existing lenders increased their term loans outstanding under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility for an aggregate amount of $33.0 million.

• On February 6, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement to reprice and refinance the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility by the issuance of $2,950.0 million in new incremental term loans (the “Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). Term loans under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and proceeds from the additional Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility issuance described below.

• Concurrently, on February 6, 2014, we and certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement for the issuance of $225.6 million in incremental term loans under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility. Proceeds from this transaction were used to repay part of the term loans outstanding under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility. In addition, on February 6, 2014, in connection with Amendment No. 8, an additional $1.5 million of the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility was exchanged and/or converted into the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility.

The above table does not reflect (i) contingent payments related to contingent milestone payments to third parties as part of certain development, collaboration and license agreements and (ii) acquisition-related contingent consideration. See note 25 of notes to consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K for additional information related to these contingent payments.

Also excluded from the above table is a liability for uncertain tax positions totaling $177.8 million . This liability has been excluded because we cannot currently make a reliable estimate of the period in which the liability will be payable, if ever.

OUTSTANDING SHARE DATA

Our common shares are listed on the TSX and the NYSE under the ticker symbol “VRX”.

On June 24, 2013, we issued 27,058,824 of our common shares. See 2013 Financial Statements for additional information relating to the equity issuance.

At February 21, 2014, we had 334,869,413 issued and outstanding common shares. In addition, we had 8,604,521 stock options and 920,974 time-based RSUs that each represent the right of a holder to receive one of the Company’s common shares, and 1,263,311 performance-based RSUs that represent the right of a holder to receive up to 300% of the RSUs granted. A maximum of 2,978,654 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARK ET RISK

Our business and financial results are affected by fluctuations in world financial markets, including the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate movements. We evaluate our exposure to such risks on an ongoing basis, and seek ways to manage these risks to an acceptable level, based on management’s judgment of the appropriate trade-off between risk, opportunity and cost. We may use derivative financial instruments from time to time as a risk management tool and not for trading or speculative purposes. Currently, we do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments whose value is subject to market price risk.

Inflation; Seasonality

We are subject to price control restriction on our pharmaceutical products in the majority of countries in which we now operate. As a result, our ability to raise prices in a timely fashion in anticipation of inflation may be limited in some markets.

Historically, revenues from our business tend to be weighted toward the second half of the year. Sales in the fourth quarter tend to be higher based on consumer and customer purchasing patterns associated with healthcare reimbursement programs. Further, the third quarter “back to school” period impacts demand for certain of our dermatology products. However, as we continue our strategy of selective acquisitions

Foreign Currency Risk

Page 123: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

In 2013, a majority of our revenue and expense activities and capital expenditures were denominated in U.S. dollars. We have exposure to multiple foreign currencies, including, among others, the Euro, Russian ruble, Polish zloty, Canadian dollar, and Japanese yen. Our operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls and fluctuations in the relative values of currencies. In addition, to the extent that we require, as a source of debt repayment, earnings and cash flows from some of our operations located in foreign countries, we are subject to risk of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to all other currencies in which we operate, which may materially affect our results of operations. Where possible, we manage foreign currency risk by managing same currency revenues in relation to same currency expenses. As of December 31, 2013, a 1% increase in foreign currency exchange rates would have impacted our shareholders’ equity by approximately $46.1 million.

In 2012 and 2011, the repurchase of $18.7 million and $205.0 million principal amount of the U.S. dollar-denominated 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, resulted in a foreign exchange gain for Canadian income tax purposes of approximately $1.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively. The 2012 payment represents the settlement of the 5.375% Convertible Notes outstanding balance. In 2012, the repurchase of principal amount of the U.S. dollar denominated Revolving Credit Facility resulted in a foreign exchange gain of $8.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, the aggregate unrealized foreign exchange loss on the translation of the remaining principal amount of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes was approximately $377.8 million ($300.9 million and $76.9 million, respectively). Additionally, as of December 31, 2013, the unrealized foreign exchange gain on certain intercompany balances was equal to $227.9 million. One-half of any realized foreign exchange gain or loss will be included in our Canadian taxable income. Any resulting gain will result in a corresponding reduction in our available Canadian Non-Capital Losses, Scientific Research and Experimental Development Pool, and/or Investment Tax Credit carryforward balances. However, the repayment of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the intercompany loans denominated in U.S. dollars does not result in a foreign exchange gain or loss being recognized in our consolidated financial statements, as these statements are prepared in U.S. dollars.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently do not hold financial instruments for speculative purposes. Our financial assets are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to their short duration. The primary objective of our policy for the investment of temporary cash surpluses is the protection of principal, and accordingly, we generally invest in high quality, money market investments and time deposits with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. As it is our intent and policy to hold these investments until maturity, we do not have a material exposure to interest rate risk.

As of December 31, 2013, we had $9,721.6 million and $7,915.3 million principal amount of issued fixed rate debt and variable rate debt, respectively, that requires U.S. dollar repayment. The estimated fair value of our issued fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2013 was $10,421.3 million. If interest rates were to increase by 100 basis-points, the fair value of our long-term debt would decrease by approximately $305.0 million. If interest rates were to decrease by 100 basis-points, the fair value of our long-term debt would increase by approximately $244.0 million. We are subject to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt as changes in interest rates could adversely affect earnings and cash flows. A 100 basis-points increase in interest rates, based on 3-month LIBOR, would have an annualized pre-tax effect of approximately $51.7 million in our consolidated statements of (loss) income and cash flows, based on current outstanding borrowings and effective interest rates on our variable rate debt. While our variable-rate debt may impact earnings and cash flows as interest rates change, it is not subject to changes in fair value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those policies and estimates that are most important and material to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and which require management’s most subjective and complex judgments due to the need to select policies from among alternatives available, and to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in our business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors we use to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially impacted.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product sales revenue when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, the timing of which is based on the specific contractual terms with each customer. In most instances, transfer of title as well as the risks and rewards of ownership occurs upon delivery of the product to the customer. Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated cash discounts, allowances, returns, rebates, and chargebacks, as well as

Page 124: 10-K filed

Page 125: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

distribution fees paid to certain of our wholesale customers. We establish these provisions concurrently with the recognition of product sales revenue.

In connection with the Medicis Acquisition, which was completed in December 2012, we acquired several brands, including the following aesthetics products: Dysport®, Perlane®, and Restylane®. In 2012, consistent with legacy Medicis’ historical approach, we recognized revenue on those products upon shipment from McKesson, our primary U.S. distributor of aesthetics products, to physicians. As part of our integration efforts, we implemented new strategies and business practices in the first quarter of 2013, particularly as they relate to rebate and discount programs for these aesthetics products. As a result of these changes, the criteria for revenue recognition are achieved upon shipment of these products to McKesson, and, therefore, we began, in the first quarter of 2013, recognizing revenue upon shipment of these products to McKesson.

Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, we rely on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by our commercialization counterparties. We make adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with our revenue recognition policy and our methodology for estimating returns, rebates, and chargebacks related to our own direct product sales.

We continually monitor our product sales provisions and evaluate the estimates used as additional information becomes available. We make adjustments to these provisions periodically to reflect new facts and circumstances that may indicate that historical experience may not be indicative of current and/or future results. We are required to make subjective judgments based primarily on our evaluation of current market conditions and trade inventory levels related to our products. This evaluation may result in an increase or decrease in the experience rate that is applied to current and future sales, or an adjustment related to past sales, or both.

Product Sales Provisions

The following table presents the activity and ending balances for our product sales provisions for each of the last three years.

Use of Information from External Sources

In the U.S., we use information from external sources to estimate our product sales provisions. We have data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where we do not have data sharing agreements, we use third party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. Third party data with respect to prescription demand and inventory levels are subject to the inherent limitations of estimates that rely on information from external sources, as this information may itself rely on certain estimates and reflect other limitations.

Our inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel do not vary substantially, as our distribution agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. limit the aggregate amount of inventory they can own to between ½ and 1½ months of supply

of our products. The inventory data from these wholesalers is provided to us in the aggregate by product rather than by specific lot number, which is the level of detail that would be required to determine the original sale date and remaining shelf life of the inventory.

Some European countries base their rebates on the government’s unbudgeted pharmaceutical spending and we use an estimated allocation factor against our actual invoiced sales to project the expected level of reimbursement. We obtain third party information that helps us to monitor the adequacy of these accruals. If our estimates are not indicative of actual unbudgeted spending, our results could be materially affected.

Cash Discounts and Allowances

We offer cash discounts for prompt payment and allowances for volume purchases to customers. Provisions for cash discounts are estimated at the time of sale and recorded as direct reductions to accounts receivable and revenue. Provisions for allowances are recorded in accrued liabilities. We estimate provisions for cash discounts and allowances based on contractual sales terms with customers, an analysis of unpaid invoices, and historical payment experience. Estimated cash discounts and allowances have historically been predictable and less subjective, due to the limited number of assumptions involved, the consistency of historical experience, and the fact that we generally settle these amounts within one month of incurring the liability.

Returns

Consistent with industry practice, we generally allow customers to return product within a specified period before and after its expiration date, excluding our European businesses which generally do not carry a right of return. Our product returns provision is estimated based on historical sales and return rates over the period during which customers have a right of return. We utilize the following information to estimate our provision for returns:

In determining our estimates for returns, we are required to make certain assumptions regarding the timing of the introduction of new products and the potential of these products to capture market share. In addition, we make certain assumptions with respect to the extent and pattern of decline associated with generic competition. To make these assessments, we utilize market data for similar products as analogs for our estimates. We use our best judgment to formulate these assumptions based on past experience and information available to us at the time. We continually reassess and make the appropriate changes to our estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available to us. A change of 1% in the estimated return rates would have impacted our pre-tax earnings by approximately $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our estimate for returns may be impacted by a number of factors, but the principal factor relates to the level of inventory in the distribution channel. When we are aware of an increase in the level of inventory of our products in the distribution channel, we consider the reasons for the increase to determine if the increase may be temporary or other-than-temporary. Increases in inventory levels assessed as temporary will not differ from our original estimates of our provision for returns. Other-than-temporary increases in inventory levels, however, may be an indication that future product returns could be higher than originally anticipated, and, as a result, we may need to adjust our estimate for returns. Some of the factors that may suggest that an increase in inventory levels will be temporary include:

• historical return and exchange levels;

• external data with respect to inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel;

• external data with respect to prescription demand for our products;

• remaining shelf lives of our products at the date of sale; and

• estimated returns liability to be processed by year of sale based on an analysis of lot information related to actual historical returns.

• recently implemented or announced price increases for our products;

• new product launches or expanded indications for our existing products; and

• timing of purchases by our wholesale customers.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Rebates and Chargebacks

We are subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and managed-care pricing programs in the U.S. The largest of these rebates is associated with sales covered by Medicaid. We participate in state government-managed Medicaid programs, as well as certain other qualifying federal and state government programs whereby discounts and rebates are provided to participating government entities. Medicaid rebates are generally billed 45 days after the quarter, but can be billed up to 270 days after the quarter in which the product is dispensed to the Medicaid participant. As a result, our Medicaid rebate provision includes an estimate of outstanding claims for end-customer sales that occurred but for which the related claim has not been billed and/or paid, and an estimate for future claims that will be made when inventory in the distribution channel is sold through to plan participants. Our calculation also requires other estimates, such as estimates of sales mix, to determine which sales are subject to rebates and the amount of such rebates. A change of 1% in the volume of product sold through to plan participants would have impacted our pre-tax earnings by approximately $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Periodically, we adjust the Medicaid rebate provision based on actual claims paid. Due to the delay in billing, adjustments to actual claims paid may incorporate revisions of that provision for several periods.

Managed Care rebates relate to our contractual agreements to sell products to managed care organizations and pharmacy benefit managers at contractual rebate percentages in exchange for volume and/or market share. Managed Care rebates were $147.7 million, $139.1 million and $27.9 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Chargebacks relate to our contractual agreements to sell products to group purchasing organizations and other indirect customers at contractual prices that are lower than the list prices we charge wholesalers. When these group purchasing organizations or other indirect customers purchase our products through wholesalers at these reduced prices, the wholesaler charges us for the difference between the prices they paid us and the prices at which they sold the products to the indirect customers.

In estimating our provisions for rebates and chargebacks, we consider relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs and contractual sales terms with managed-care providers and group purchasing organizations. We estimate the amount of our product sales subject to these programs based on historical utilization levels. Changes in the level of utilization of our products through private or public benefit plans and group purchasing organizations will affect the amount of rebates and chargebacks that we are obligated to pay. We continually update these factors based on new contractual or statutory requirements, and any significant changes in sales trends that may impact the percentage of our products subject to rebates or chargebacks.

The amount of rebates and chargebacks has become more significant as a result of a combination of deeper discounts due to the price increases we implemented in each of the last three years, changes in our product portfolio due to recent acquisitions and increased Medicaid utilization due to existing economic conditions in the U.S. Our estimate for rebates and chargebacks may be impacted by a number of factors, but the principal factor relates to the level of inventory in the distribution channel.

Rebate provisions are based on factors such as timing and terms of plans under contract, time to process rebates, product pricing, sales volumes, amount of inventory in the distribution channel and prescription trends. Accordingly, we generally assume that adjustments made to rebate provisions relate to sales made in the prior years due to the delay in billing. However, we assume that adjustments made to chargebacks are generally related to sales made in the current year, as we settle these amounts within a few months of original sale. Our adjustments to actual in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material to our revenues or earnings.

Consumer Rebates and Loyalty Programs are rebates we offer on many of our products. We generally account for these programs by establishing an accrual based on our estimate of the rebate and loyalty incentives attributable to a sale. We accrue our estimates on historical experience and other relevant factors. We adjust our accruals periodically throughout each quarter based on actual experience and changes in other factors, if any, to ensure the balance is fairly stated. The provision balance for consumer rebates and loyalty programs was $113.6 million, $66.8 million and $7.2 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the provision balance as of December 31, 2013 was due to the launch of physician rebate incentive program for the aesthetic brands. The increase in the provision balance as of December 31, 2012 was due to the acquisition of the Medicis products. The total provision balance related to Solodyn®, Ziana®, Restylane® and Perlane® was $60.0 million as of December 31, 2012.

• increasing price competition from generic competitors; and

• recent changes to the U.S. National Drug Codes (“NDC”) of our products, which could result in a period of higher returns related to products with the old NDC, as our U.S. customers generally permit only one NDC per product for identification and tracking within their inventory systems.

Acquisitions

66

Page 131: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

We have completed several acquisitions of companies, as well as acquisitions of certain assets of companies. To determine whether such acquisitions qualify as business combinations or asset acquisitions, we make certain judgments, which include assessment of the inputs, processes, and outputs associated with the acquired set of activities. If we determine that the acquisition consists of inputs, as well as processes that when applied to those inputs have the ability to create outputs, the acquisition is determined to be a business combination. In instances where the acquired set of activities does not include all of the inputs and processes used by the seller in operating the business, we make judgments as to whether market participants would be capable of acquiring the business and continuing to produce outputs, for example, by integrating the business with their own inputs and processes. If we conclude that market participants would have this capability, the acquisition is determined to be business combination.

In a business combination, we account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred. The operating results of the acquired business are reflected in our consolidated financial statements after the date of acquisition. Amounts allocated to acquired IPR&D are recognized at fair value and initially characterized as indefinite-lived intangible assets, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to each class of asset acquired and liability assumed can materially impact our results of operations. As part of our valuation procedures, we typically consult an independent advisor. There are several methods that can be used to determine fair value. For intangible assets, we typically use an excess earnings or relief from royalty method. The excess earnings method starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. These cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in the excess earnings method include:

The relief from royalty method involves estimating the amount of notional royalty income that could be generated if the intangible asset was licensed to a third party. The fair value of the intangible asset is the net present value of the prospective stream of the notional royalty income that would be generated over the expected useful life of the intangible asset. Values derived using the relief from royalty method are based on royalty rates observed for comparable intangible assets.

We believe the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions, however, these assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. We will finalize these amounts as we obtain the information necessary to complete the measurement processes. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates may result in retrospective adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition dates. These changes could be significant. We will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.

Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment, as different types of intangible assets will have different useful lives and certain assets may even be considered to have indefinite useful lives. Useful life is the period over which the intangible asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. We determine the useful lives of intangible assets based on a number of factors, such as legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, and the effects of obsolescence, anticipated demand, existence or absence of competition, and other economic factors on useful life. We determined that the B&L corporate trademark has an indefinite useful life as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful life of this intangible asset.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

• the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, adjusted for the probability of technical success of products in the IPR&D stage;

• the amount and timing of projected costs to develop IPR&D into commercially viable products;

• the discount rate selected to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows; and

• an assessment of the asset’s life-cycle and the competitive trends impacting the asset, including consideration of any technical, legal, regulatory, or economic barriers to entry.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Some of the business combinations that we have consummated include contingent consideration to be potentially paid based upon the occurrence of future events, such as sales performance and the achievement of certain future development, regulatory and sales milestones. Acquisition-related contingent consideration associated with a business combination is initially recognized at fair value and then remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The estimates of fair value contain uncertainties as they involve assumptions about the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria, projections of future financial performance, and assumed discount rates. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria. A change in any of these assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Intangible Assets

We evaluate potential impairments of amortizable intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions or business combinations if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. Our evaluation is based on an assessment of potential indicators of impairment, such as:

Impairment exists when the carrying amount of an amortizable intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. A discounted cash flow analysis is typically used to determine fair value using estimates and assumptions that market participants would apply. Some of the estimates and assumptions inherent in a discounted cash flow model include the amount and timing of the projected future cash flows, and the discount rate used to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. In addition, an intangible asset’s expected useful life can increase estimation risk, as longer-lived assets necessarily require longer-term cash flow forecasts, which for some of our intangible assets can be up to 25 years. In connection with an impairment evaluation, we also reassess the remaining useful life of the intangible asset and modify it, as appropriate.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including IPR&D and the B&L corporate trademark, are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of their fair value to carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test. In particular, we will continue to monitor closely the progression of our R&D programs, including IDP-108 (efinaconazole), Latanoprostene bunod and Metronidazole 1.3% (which in the aggregate represent the majority of our IPR&D asset balance), as their likelihood of success is contingent upon the achievement of future development milestones, some of which are currently expected to occur as early as 2014. Refer to “Products in Development” above for additional information regarding our R&D programs.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. The fair value of a reporting unit refers to the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants. We operate in two operating/reportable segments: Developed Markets and Emerging Markets. The Developed Markets segment consists of four reporting units based on geography, namely (i) U.S., (ii) Canada and Australia, (iii) Western Europe, and (iv) Japan. The Emerging Markets segment consists of three reporting units based on geography, namely (i) Central/Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, (ii) Latin America, and (iii) Asia/South Africa. We conducted our annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013. We estimated the fair values of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require us to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on our results of operations. We determined that none of the goodwill associated with our reporting units was impaired.

• an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset. For example, a successful challenge of our patent rights resulting in earlier than expected generic competition;

• an adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used or is expected to be used. For example, a decision not to pursue a product line-extension strategy to enhance an existing product due to changes in market conditions and/or technological advances; or

• current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of an asset. For example, the introduction of a competing product that results in a significant loss of market share.

Page 135: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The estimated fair values of each reporting unit substantially exceeded their carrying values at the date of testing. We applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit, which at such date, would not have triggered additional impairment testing and analysis. The goodwill recognized for the B&L Acquisition, which to date has been recorded provisionally, will be tested for impairment within twelve months of the acquisition date.

An interim goodwill impairment test in advance of the annual impairment assessment may be required if events occur that indicate an impairment might be present. For example, a substantial decline in our market capitalization, unexpected adverse business condition, economic factors and unanticipated competitive activities may signal that an interim impairment test is needed. Accordingly, among other factors, we monitor changes in our share price between annual impairment tests to ensure that our market capitalization continues to exceed the carrying value of our consolidated net assets. We consider a decline in our share price that corresponds to an overall deterioration in stock market conditions to be less of an indicator of goodwill impairment than a unilateral decline in our share price reflecting adverse changes in our underlying operating performance, cash flows, financial condition, and/or liquidity. In the event that our market capitalization does decline below its book value, we would consider the length and severity of the decline and the reason for the decline when assessing whether potential goodwill impairment exists. We believe that short-term fluctuations in share prices may not necessarily reflect underlying values.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings, contractual indemnities, product and environmental liabilities, and tax matters. We are required to accrue for such loss contingencies if it is probable that the outcome will be unfavorable and if the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We disclose contingent liabilities when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred. We are often unable to develop a best estimate of loss, in which case the minimum amount of loss, which could be zero, is recorded. We evaluate our exposure to loss based on the progress of each contingency, experience in similar contingencies, and consultation with our legal counsel. We re-evaluate all contingencies as additional information becomes available. Given the uncertainties inherent in complex litigation and other contingencies, these evaluations can involve significant judgment about future events. The ultimate outcome of any litigation or other contingency may be material to our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. For a discussion of our current legal proceedings, see note 24 to the 2013 Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

We have operations in various countries that have differing tax laws and rates. Our tax structure is supported by current domestic tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting is subject to audit by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Our effective tax rate may change from year to year based on changes in the mix of activities and income allocated or earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions, changes in tax treaties between various countries in which we operate, changes in our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties, and changes in the estimated values of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Such changes could result in an increase in the effective tax rate on all or a portion of our income and/or any of our subsidiaries.

Our provision for income taxes is based on a number of estimates and assumptions made by management. Our consolidated income tax rate is affected by the amount of income earned in our various operating jurisdictions, the availability of benefits under tax treaties, and the rates of taxes payable in respect of that income. We enter into many transactions and arrangements in the ordinary course of business in which the tax treatment is not entirely certain. We must therefore make estimates and judgments based on our knowledge and understanding of applicable tax laws and tax treaties, and the application of those tax laws and tax treaties to our business, in determining our consolidated tax provision. For example, certain countries could seek to tax a greater share of income than has been provided for by us. The final outcome of any audits by taxation authorities may differ from the estimates and assumptions we have used in determining our consolidated income tax provisions and accruals. This could result in a material effect on our consolidated income tax provision, results of operations, and financial condition for the period in which such determinations are made.

Our income tax returns are subject to audit in various jurisdictions. Existing and future audits by, or other disputes with, tax authorities may not be resolved favorably for us and could have a material adverse effect on our reported effective tax rate and after-tax cash flows. We record liabilities for uncertain tax positions, which involve significant management judgment. New laws and new interpretations of laws and rulings by tax authorities may affect the liability for uncertain tax positions. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may differ from our estimates. To the extent that our estimates differ from amounts eventually assessed and paid our income and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.

Page 137: 10-K filed

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

We assess whether it is more likely than not that we will realize the tax benefits associated with our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance for assets that are not expected to result in a realized tax benefit. A significant amount of judgment is used in this process, including preparation of forecasts of future taxable income and evaluation of tax planning initiatives. If we revise these forecasts or determine that certain planning events will not occur, an adjustment to the valuation allowance will be made to tax expense in the period such determination is made.

Share-Based Compensation

We recognize employee share-based compensation, including grants of stock options and RSUs, at estimated fair value. As there is no market for trading our employee stock options, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate stock option fair values, which requires certain assumptions related to the expected life of the stock option, future stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. The expected life of the stock option is based on historical exercise and forfeiture patterns. Effective January 1, 2012, we estimated the expected volatility of our common stock by using implied volatility in market traded options. Our decision to use implied volatility was based upon the availability of actively traded options on our common stock and our assessment that implied volatility is more representative of future stock price trends than our previously used assumption of historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate at the time of grant for U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock option. Dividend yield is based on the stock option’s exercise price and expected annual dividend rate at the time of grant. Changes to any of these assumptions, or the use of a different option-pricing model, such as the lattice model, could produce a different fair value for share-based compensation expense, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

We determine the fair value of each RSU granted based on the trading price of our common shares on the date of grant, unless the vesting of the RSU is conditional on the attainment of any applicable performance goals, in which case we use a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Monte Carlo simulation model utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved. Changes to any of these inputs could materially affect the measurement of the fair value of the performance-based RSUs.

Employee Benefits

Our benefits plans include defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and a participatory defined benefit postretirement plan. The determination of defined benefit pension and postretirement plan obligations and their associated expenses requires the use of actuarial valuations to estimate the benefits employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Inherent in these valuations are economic assumptions including expected returns on plan assets, discount rates at which liabilities could be settled, rates of increase in healthcare costs, rates of future compensation increases as well as employee demographic assumptions such as retirement patterns, mortality and turnover. The actuarial assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower turnover rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants. Actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions used are recorded as actuarial gains and losses. Net actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10 percent of the greater of the plan’s projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of assets are amortized to earnings over the shorter of the estimated future service period of the plan participants or the period until any anticipated final plan settlements. We review the assumptions annually (and more frequently if a significant event occurs) and make any necessary changes.

Our U.S. defined benefit pension plan recognized net actuarial gains of $11.3 million in 2013, reflecting an actual return on plan assets exceeding expected returns and a higher discount rate. Our Ireland plans recognized net actuarial gains of $11.7 million in 2013, reflecting a higher discount rate and the actual returns on plan assets exceeding expected returns.

The following is a discussion of the most significant assumptions used in connection with our employee benefit plans . The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was developed based on a capital markets model that uses expected asset class returns, variance and correlation assumptions. The expected asset class returns were developed starting with current Treasury (for the U.S. pension plan) or Eurozone (for the Ireland pension plans) government yields and then adding corporate bond spreads and equity risk premiums to develop the return expectations for each asset class. The expected asset class returns are forward-looking. The variance and correlation assumptions are also forward-looking. They take into account historical relationships, but are adjusted to reflect expected capital market trends. The expected return on plan assets for the Company’s U.S. pension plan was 7.50% and for the postretirement benefit plan was 5.50%. The expected return for the postretirement plan is based on the expected return for the U.S. pension plan reduced by 2.00% to reflect an estimate of additional administrative expenses. The expected return on plan assets for the Company’s Ireland pension plans was 6.00%.

The 2014 expected rate of return for the U.S. pension plan and postretirement plan will remain at 7.50% and 5.50%, respectively. The 2014 expected rate of return for the Ireland pension benefit plans will also remain at 6.00%.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the benefit plan liabilities could be effectively settled considering the timing of expected payments for plan participants. The discount rates for the U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans and the Ireland pension plans, which comprise approximately 89% of our benefit plan obligations, were based on models that calculate a discount rate as an average of semi-annual spot rates weighted by the estimated projected plan cash flows. The models for the U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plans were derived from pricing and yield information on high quality non-callable U.S. corporate bonds.

Due to the long-term nature of the Ireland pension plans projected cash flows and the lack of long-term high quality corporate bonds in the Eurozone, the model for the Ireland pension plans was derived from pricing and yield information on Eurozone treasury bonds. An option-adjusted spread was added to the resulting Eurozone treasury yield curve to produce a proxy to high quality corporate bonds. The discount rate used for the U.S. pension and postretirement plans at December 31, 2013 was 4.70% and 4.30%, respectively. The discount rate used for the Ireland plans at December 31, 2013 was 4.00%.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the U.S. pension and postretirement plan and Ireland plan obligations and expenses to changes in the above assumptions, assuming all other assumptions remain constant.

Typically, an important estimate associated with the postretirement plan is the assumed healthcare cost trend rate. Employer contributions to the postretirement plan for medical and prescription drug benefits for participants retiring after March 1, 1989 were frozen as of January 1, 2010, which significantly reduced our exposure to future healthcare costs. Additionally, the postretirement plan was amended in 2013 to eliminate medical coverage for individuals retiring on or after January 1, 2014. The

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Information regarding the adoption of new accounting guidance is contained in note 2 to the 2013 Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Adopted as of December 31, 2013

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice in presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new guidance, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforward that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance is effective prospectively, but allows optional retrospective adoption (for all periods presented), for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance will not impact our financial position or results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Caution regarding forward-looking information and statements and “Safe-Harbor” statements under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company’s consolidated operations except for the operations of B&L and Natur Produkt (together, the “Acquired Companies”), which represented approximately 25% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, and assets associated with the Acquired Companies represented approximately 9% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2013.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-3 of the 2013 Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation thereof by our management, including the CEO and CFO, during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

SCHEDULE II — VALUATION AND QUALIFYING ACCOUNTS (All dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)

For each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the increase in the amounts charged to costs and expenses with respect to the allowance for inventory obsolescence was driven primarily by integration-related portfolio and manufacturing rationalization initiatives and growth in the business.

With respect to the allowance for inventory obsolescence, the $33.4 million in 2013 charged to other accounts represents obsolescence reserves assumed as part of acquisitions consummated during the year, with the most significant contributor being the B&L acquisition, which closed in August 2013. The $26.3 million in 2012 charged to other accounts represents obsolescence reserves assumed as part of acquisitions consummated during the year, with the most significant contributors being the QLT, Medicis, and Eyetech Inc. acquisitions, which closed on September 24, 2012, December 11, 2012, and February 13, 2012, respectively. The $2.7 million in 2011 charged to other accounts represents obsolescence reserves assumed as part of acquisitions consummated during the year, with the most significant contributor being the Sanitas acquisition, which closed on August 19, 2011. These assumed reserves were included as part of the purchase price allocations as of the respective acquisition dates, therefore, such amounts were not charged to costs and expenses.

With respect to the deferred tax valuation allowance, the $139.0 million in 2013 charged to other accounts represents valuation allowances assumed as part of acquisitions consummated during the year, with the most significant contributor being the B&L acquisition.

REPORTS OF MANAGEMENT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Financial Statements

The Company’s management is responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management selects appropriate accounting policies and uses its judgment and best estimates to report events and transactions as they occur. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Financial information included throughout this Annual Report is prepared on a basis consistent with that of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been engaged by the Company’s shareholders to audit the consolidated financial statements.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibility for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the consolidated financial statements. The Board of Directors carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit and Risk Committee. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee are outside Directors. The Audit and Risk Committee considers, for review by the Board of Directors and approval by the shareholders, the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has full and free access to the Audit and Risk Committee.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial rep orting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company’s consolidated operations except for the operations of Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated and Natur Produkt International, JSC (together, the“Acquired Companies”), which the Company acquired through purchase business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Acquired Companies represented approximately 25% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, and assets associated with the Acquired Companies represented approximatel y 9% of the Company’s consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2013.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report on page F-3 herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and Directors of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of (loss) income, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2013 appearing under item 15(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in the Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated and Natur Produkt International, JSC (together, the “Acquired Companies”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 because the Acquired Companies were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2013. We have also excluded the Acquired Companies from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. The Acquired Companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total revenues represent 9% and 25%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. /s/ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP Florham Park, New Jersey February 28, 2014

In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2011 appearing under Item 15(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (the “Company”) is a multinational, specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of branded, generic and branded generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) products, and medical devices (contact lenses, intraocular lenses, ophthalmic surgical equipment, and aesthetics devices), which are marketed directly or indirectly in over 100 countries. Effective August 9, 2013, the Company continued from the federal jurisdiction of Canada to the Province of British Columbia, meaning that the Company became a company registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia as if it had been incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. As a result of this continuance, the legal domicile of the Company became the Province of British Columbia, the Canada Business Corporations Act ceased to apply to the Company and the Company became subject to the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (BCBCA).

On August 5, 2013, the Company acquired Bausch & Lomb Holdings Incorporated (“B&L”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) dated May 24, 2013, with B&L surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Valeant”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “B&L Acquisition”).

On December 11, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (“Medicis”) through a wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 2, 2012, with Medicis surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Medicis Acquisition”).

For further information regarding the B&L Acquisition and the Medicis Acquisition, see note 3 titled “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS”.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in United States (“U.S.”) dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), applied on a consistent basis.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The Company has entered into collaboration and license arrangements with other entities for various products under development. These arrangements typically include upfront and contingent milestone and royalty payments. There were no material arrangements determined to be variable interest entities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

In addition, the Company has made a reclassification to the 2012 and 2011 consolidated statements of (loss) income for the presentation of proceeds from the out-license or sale of non-core products to conform to the current year presentation. To enhance comparability of the Company’s revenues and expenses from period to period and to the Company’s peers, the Company no longer records the proceeds on the sale of non-core products as Alliance and royalty revenue, with the associated costs, including the carrying amount of related assets, recorded as Cost of alliance and service revenues. Rather, effective in 2013, the Company nets the proceeds with the carrying amount of related assets and records a gain/loss on sale within Other expense. As of result of this change, the Company’s 2012 and 2011 consolidated statements of (loss) income include the following reclassifications related to (i) the sale of 1% clindamycin and 5% benzoyl peroxide gel (“IDP-111”), a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5% fluorouracil cream (“5-FU”), an authorized generic of Efudex® in February 2012 and (ii) the out-license of Cloderm Cream, 0.1% in March 2011:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

For further information regarding the sale of IDP-111 and 5-FU and the out-license of Cloderm Cream, 0.1%, see Note 4 titled “Acquisitions and Dispositions”. The reclassifications described above did not have a material impact on the Company’s previously reported results of operations and had no impact on the Company’s previously reported financial position and cash flows.

Acquisitions

Acquired businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value, with limited exceptions. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recognized at fair value and initially characterized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset, irrespective of whether the acquired IPR&D has an alternative future use. If the acquired net assets do not constitute a business, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. In an asset acquisition, the amount allocated to acquired IPR&D with no alternative future use is charged to expense at the acquisition date.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include: provisions for product returns, rebates and chargebacks; useful lives of amortizable intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; expected future cash flows used in evaluating intangible assets for impairment; reporting unit fair values in testing goodwill for impairment; provisions for loss contingencies; provisions for income taxes, uncertain tax positions and realizability of deferred tax assets; and the allocation of the purchase price of acquired assets and businesses, including the fair value of contingent consideration. Under certain product manufacturing and supply agreements, management relies on estimates for future returns, rebates and chargebacks made by the Company’s commercialization counterparties. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in the Company’s business and new information as it becomes available. If historical experience and other factors used by management to make these estimates do not reasonably reflect future activity, the Company’s consolidated financial statements could be materially impacted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity periods. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on estimated discounted future cash flows and assessment of the probability of occurrence of potential future events. The fair values of marketable securities and long-term debt are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated discounted future cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include certificates of deposit, treasury bills, certain money-market funds and term deposits with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable.

The Company invests its excess cash in high-quality, money market instruments and term deposits with varying maturities, but typically less than three months. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its cash or cash equivalents.

In 2012, the Company’s marketable securities portfolio included the investment in auction rate floating securities (student loans) and the investment in equity securities acquired in connection with the Medicis Acquisition. The investment in auction rate floating securities had a maximum term to maturity of 34 years. In 2013, the Company sold its entire investment in auction rate securities assumed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition. In 2011, the Company’s marketable securities portfolio included investment-grade corporate enterprise fixed income debt securities that matured within one year.

The Company’s accounts receivable primarily arise from product sales in the U.S. and Europe and primarily represent amounts due from wholesale distributors, retail pharmacies, government entities and group purchasing organizations. Outside of the U.S., concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, which are typically unsecured, are limited due to the number of customers using the Company’s products, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of customers and does not require collateral. The Company monitors economic conditions, including volatility associated with international economies, and related impacts on the relevant financial markets and its business, especially in light of sovereign credit issues. The credit and economic conditions within Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece, among other members of the European Union, have deteriorated. These conditions have increased, and may continue to increase, the average length of time that it takes to collect on the Company’s accounts receivable outstanding in these countries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for potential credit losses based on the aging of accounts receivable, historical bad debts experience, and changes in customer payment patterns. Accounts receivables balances are written off against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company’s three largest U.S. wholesaler customers accounted for 47% and 42% of net trade receivables, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 , the Company’s net trade receivable balance from Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal amounted to $84.5 million and $5.6 million , respectively, of which the majority has been outstanding for less than 90 days. The increase in the receivables balance for such countries was driven by the B&L Acquisition, which was consummated in August 2013. The portion of the net trade receivable from these countries that is past due more than 90 days amounted to $18.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and is primarily comprised of public hospitals. Based on analysis of bad debts experience and assessment of historical payment patterns for such customers, the Company determined that the substantial majority of such balance was collectible and, as such, the reserve established on the balance was not significant. The Company has not experienced any significant losses from uncollectible accounts in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013 .

Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, work in process, and finished goods, which are valued at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. Cost for work in process and finished goods inventories includes materials, direct labor, and an allocation of overheads. Market for raw materials is replacement cost, and for work in process and finished goods is net realizable value.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of inventories on a regular basis, taking into account such factors as historical and anticipated future sales compared with quantities on hand, the price the Company expects to obtain for products in their respective markets compared with historical cost and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred on assets under construction are capitalized as construction in progress. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, commencing when the assets become available for productive use, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings Up to 40 years

Machinery and equipment 3 - 20 years

Other equipment 3 - 10 years

Equipment on operating lease Up to 5 years

Leasehold improvements and capital leases Lesser of term of lease or 10 years

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

____________________________________

Sale of Non-core Products

The Company nets the proceeds on the sale or out-license of non-core products with the carrying amount of the related assets and records a gain/loss on sale within Other expense. Any contingent payments that are potentially due to the Company as a result of these sales are recorded when realizable.

IPR&D

The fair value of IPR&D acquired through a business combination is capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the related research and development activities. When the related research and development is completed, the asset will be assigned a useful life and amortized.

The fair value of an IPR&D intangible asset is determined using an income approach. This approach starts with a forecast of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset over its estimated useful life. The net cash flows reflect the asset’s stage of completion, the probability of technical success, the projected costs to complete, expected market competition, and an assessment of the asset’s life-cycle. The net cash flows are then adjusted to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted future cash flows.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, including acquired IPR&D, are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances between annual tests indicate that the asset may be impaired. Impairment losses on indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized based solely on a comparison of the fair value of the asset to its carrying value, without consideration of any recoverability test.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment.

Product brands 1 - 25 years

Corporate brands (1) 4 - 20 years

Product rights 1 - 15 years

Partner relationships 2 - 9 years

Out-licensed technology and other 3 - 10 years

(1) Corporate brands useful lives shown in the table above does not include the B&L corporate trademark, which has an indefinite useful life and is not amortizable. See note 3 “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS” for further information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

The Company operates in the following operating/reportable segments: Developed Markets and Emerging Markets. The Developed Markets segment consists of four reporting units based on geography, namely (i) U.S., (ii) Canada and Australia, (iii) Western Europe, and (iv) Japan. The Emerging Markets segment consists of three reporting units based on geography, namely (i) Central/Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa, (ii) Latin America, and (iii) Asia/South Africa. The Company estimated the fair values of its reporting units using a discounted cash flow analysis approach. These calculations contain uncertainties as they require the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows and the appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk inherent in the future cash flows. A change in any of these estimates and assumptions could produce a different fair value, which could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test and determined that none of the goodwill associated with its reporting units was impaired. The goodwill recognized for the B&L Acquisition, which to date has been recorded provisionally, will be tested for impairment within twelve months of the acquisition date.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are reported at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are recorded in other long-term assets. Amortization expense is included in interest expense.

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to market risks, including foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes, nor does it enter into trades for which there is no underlying exposure. Derivative financial instruments are recorded as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as hedging transactions, either as cash flow, net investment, or fair value hedges. Depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of a hedged item are either offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Company did not hold any derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2013 or 2012 .

Foreign Currency Translation

The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, and at the average exchange rate for the reporting period for revenue and expense accounts. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses on transactions occurring in a currency other than an operation’s functional currency are recognized in net income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Product Sales

Product sales revenue is recognized when title has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership, the timing of which is based on the specific contractual terms with each customer. In most instances, transfer of title as well as the risks and rewards of ownership occurs upon delivery of the product to the customer. Amounts received from customers as prepayments for products to be shipped in the future are recorded in deferred revenue.

Revenue from product sales is recognized net of provisions for estimated discounts, allowances, returns, rebates, chargebacks and distribution fees paid to certain of our wholesale customers. The Company offers discounts for prompt payment and other incentive allowances to customers. Provisions for discounts and allowances are estimated based on contractual sales terms with customers and historical payment experience. The Company allows customers to return product within a specified period of time before and after its expiration date. Provisions for returns are estimated based on historical return levels, taking into account additional available information on competitive products and contract changes. The Company has data sharing agreements with the three largest wholesalers in the U.S. Where

Page 178: 10-K filed

the Company does not have data sharing agreements, it uses third party data to estimate the level of product inventories and product demand at wholesalers and retail pharmacies. The Company reviews its methodology and adequacy of the provision for returns on a quarterly basis, adjusting for changes in

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

assumptions, historical results and business practices, as necessary. The Company is subject to rebates on sales made under governmental and commercial rebate programs, and chargebacks on sales made to government agencies, retail pharmacies and group purchasing organizations. Provisions for rebates and chargebacks are estimated based on historical experience, relevant statutes with respect to governmental pricing programs, and contractual sales terms.

In connection with the Medicis Acquisition, which was completed in December 2012, the Company acquired several brands, including the following aesthetics products: Dysport®, Perlane®, and Restylane®. In 2012, consistent with legacy Medicis’ historical approach, the Company recognized revenue on those products upon shipment from McKesson, the Company’s primary U.S. distributor of aesthetics products, to physicians. As part of its integration efforts, the Company implemented new strategies and business practices in the first quarter of 2013, particularly as they relate to rebate and discount programs for these aesthetics products. As a result of these changes, the criteria for revenue recognition are achieved upon shipment of these products to McKesson, and, therefore, the Company began, in 2013, recognizing revenue upon shipment of these products to McKesson.

The Company is party to manufacturing and supply agreements with a number of commercialization counterparties in the U.S. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company’s supply prices for its products are determined after taking into consideration estimates for future returns, rebates, and chargebacks provided by each counterparty. The Company makes adjustments as needed to state these estimates on a basis consistent with this policy and its methodology for estimating returns, rebates and chargebacks related to its own direct product sales.

Alliance and Royalty

The Company earns royalties and profit share revenue as a result of the licensing of product rights to third parties. Royalties and profit share revenue are earned at the time the related product is sold by the licensee based on the terms of the specific licensing agreement and when the Company has no future obligations with respect to the royalty or profit share. The Company relies on financial information provided by licensees to estimate the amounts due to it under the related agreements.

Service and Other

Contract manufacturing service revenue is recognized when title of the manufactured products has transferred to the customer and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership.

Research and development service revenue attributable to the performance of contract services is recognized as the services are performed, under the proportionate performance method of revenue recognition. Performance is measured based on units-of-work performed relative to total units-of-work contracted. Units-of-work is generally measured based on hours spent.

Research and Development Expenses

Costs related to internal research and development programs, including costs associated with the development of acquired IPR&D, are expensed as goods are delivered or services are performed. Under certain research and development arrangements with third parties, the Company may be required to make payments that are contingent on the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. Before a product receives regulatory approval, milestone payments made to third parties are expensed when the milestone is achieved. Milestone payments made to third parties after regulatory approval is received are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the approved product.

Amounts due from third parties as reimbursement of development activities conducted under certain research and development arrangements are recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

Legal Costs

Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Legal costs expensed are reported net of expected insurance recoveries. A claim for insurance recovery is recognized when the claim becomes probable of realization.

Advertising Costs

Page 180: 10-K filed

Advertising costs comprise product samples, print media and promotional materials. Advertising costs related to new product launches are expensed on the first use of the advertisement. As of December 31, 2013, advertising costs of $8.8 million were recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2012,

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

advertising costs recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet were not material.

Advertising costs expensed in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $277.3 million , $157.6 million and $106.3 million , respectively. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted share units (“RSUs”), at estimated fair value. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock option or RSU grants on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the individual stock option or RSU grant, which generally equals the vesting period. Stock option and RSU forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Share-based compensation is recorded in cost of goods sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring and other costs, as appropriate.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Acquisition-related contingent consideration, which consists primarily of potential milestone payments and royalty obligations, is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at its acquisition date estimated fair value, in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations result from several factors including changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving specified milestone criteria. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in fair value measurement accounting.

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes standby fees and the amortization of debt discounts and deferred financing costs. Interest costs are expensed as incurred, except to the extent such interest is related to construction in progress, in which case interest is capitalized. The capitalized interest recorded in 2013 was not material. The Company did not capitalize any interest costs in 2012 and 2011 due to immateriality.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to remain unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.

The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions are classified as long-term unless expected to be paid within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, are recorded in the provision for income taxes and classified with the related liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period after giving effect to dilutive potential common shares for stock options, RSUs and convertible debt, determined using the treasury stock method.

Page 183: 10-K filed

VALEANT PHARMACEUTICALS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

Comprehensive income comprises net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized temporary holding gains and losses on available-for-sale investments and certain pension and other postretirement benefit plan adjustments. Accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as claims and assessments arising from litigation and other legal proceedings, contractual indemnities, product and environmental liabilities, and tax matters. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available.

If no accrual is made for a loss contingency because one of the previous two conditions are not met, the Company will disclose contingent liabilities when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred.

Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors various retirement and pension plans, including defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and a participatory defined benefit postretirement plan. The determination of defined benefit pension and postretirement plan obligations and their associated expenses requires the use of actuarial valuations to estimate the benefits employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those benefits. Inherent in these valuations are economic assumptions including expected returns on plan assets, discount rates at which liabilities could be settled, rates of increase in healthcare costs, rates of future compensation increases as well as employee demographic assumptions such as retirement patterns, mortality and turnover. The actuarial assumptions used may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower turnover rates or longer or shorter life spans of participants. Actual results that differ from the actuarial assumptions used are recorded as actuarial gains and losses. Net actuarial gains and losses that exceed 10 percent of the greater of the plan’s projected benefit obligations or the market-related value of assets are amortized to earnings over the shorter of the estimated future service period of the plan participants or the period until any anticipated final plan settlements. The Company reviews the assumptions annually (and more frequently if a significant event occurs) and makes any necessary changes.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance intended to simplify indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing, by allowing an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of an asset is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50%. This guidance is effective for annual and interim tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning December 15, 2012. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance did not impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate the diversity in practice in presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new guidance, unrecognized tax benefits will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforward that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the unrecognized tax benefits. The guidance is effective prospectively, but allows optional

retrospective adoption (for all periods presented), for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. As this guidance relates to presentation only, the adoption of this guidance will not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s business strategy involves selective acquisitions with a focus on core geographies and therapeutic classes.

(a) Business combinations in 2013 included the following:

B&L

Description of the Transaction

On August 5, 2013, the Company acquired B&L, pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated May 24, 2013 (as amended), among the Company, Valeant, Stratos Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant (“Merger Sub”), and B&L. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, B&L became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant. At the effective time of this merger, each share of B&L common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to such effective time, other than any dissenting shares and any shares held by B&L, Valeant, Merger Sub or any of their subsidiaries, was converted into the right to receive its pro rata share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest, of an aggregate purchase price equal to $8.7 billion minus B&L’s existing indebtedness for borrowed money (which was paid off by Valeant in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement) and related fees and costs, minus certain of B&L’s transaction expenses, minus certain payments with respect to certain cancelled B&L performance-based options (which were not outstanding immediately prior to such effective time), plus the aggregate exercise price applicable to B&L’s outstanding options immediately prior to such effective time, and plus certain cash amounts, all as further described in the Merger Agreement. The B&L Acquisition was financed with debt and equity issuances (see note 14 titled “LONG-TERM DEBT” for additional information). Each B&L restricted share and stock option, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to such effective time, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in the case of restricted shares or, in the case of stock options, the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such stock option.

B&L is a global eye health company that focuses primarily on the development, manufacture and marketing of eye health products, including contact lenses, contact lens care solutions, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals and ophthalmic surgical products.

A New Drug Application (“NDA”) for Luliconazole was submitted to the FDA on December 11, 2012. In November 2013, the FDA approved the NDA for Luliconazole, which triggered the commencement of amortization. A multi-period excess earnings methodology (income approach) was primarily used to determine the estimated fair values of the acquired IPR&D assets. The projected cash flows from these assets were adjusted for the probabilities of successful development and commercialization of each project. Risk-adjusted discount rates of 10% - 11% were used to present value the projected cash flows. On April 30, 2013, the Company agreed to sell the worldwide rights in its Metronidazole 1.3% Vaginal Gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, to Actavis Specialty Brands for approximately $55 million , which includes upfront and certain milestone payments, and minimum royalties for the first three years of commercialization.

The measurement period adjustments were made to reflect facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date, and did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date. These adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements.

(e) The IPR&D assets primarily relate to the development of Arestin® ER, which is indicated for oral hygiene use and Arestin® Peri-Implantitis, which is indicated for anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial use.

(f) Effective June 18, 2012, the Company terminated the credit facility agreement, repaid the assumed debt outstanding and cancelled the undrawn credit facilities.

(g) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

• cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations of OraPharma with those of the Company;

• the value of the continuing operations of OraPharma’s existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

• intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, OraPharma’s assembled workforce).

• On October 2, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. (“J&J ROW”) for a purchase price of $41.7 million , relating to the rights in various ex-North American territories to the OTC consumer brands Caladryl® and Shower to Shower®.

• On September 28, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Companies, Inc. (“J&J North America”) for a purchase price of $107.3 million , relating to the U.S. and Canadian rights to the OTC consumer brands Ambi®, Caladryl®, Corn Huskers®, Cortaid®, Purpose® and Shower to Shower®.

• On September 24, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from QLT Inc. and QLT Ophthalmics, Inc. (collectively, “QLT”) relating to Visudyne®, which is used to treat abnormal growth of leaky blood vessels in the eye caused by wet age-related macular degeneration. The consideration paid included up-front payments of $62.5 million for the assets related to the rights to the product in the U.S. and $50.0 million for the assets related to the rights to the product outside the U.S. The Company may pay a series of contingent payments of up to $20.0 million relating to non-U.S. royalties and development milestones for QLT’s laser program in the U.S. In addition, the Company will pay royalties on sales of potential new indications for Visudyne® in the U.S. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $7.9 million as of the acquisition date. During 2013, the assumptions used for determining the fair value of the contingent consideration have been adjusted to reflect a lower estimated probability of achieving the milestones, which resulted in a net gain of $7.5 million which was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

• On May 23, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from University Medical Pharmaceuticals Corp. (“University Medical”), a specialty pharmaceutical company located in the U.S. focused on skincare products, including the rights to University Medical’s main brand AcneFree™, a retail OTC acne treatment. The consideration includes up-front payments of $65.0 million , and the Company may pay a series of contingent consideration payments of up to $40.0 million if certain net sales milestones are achieved. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $1.5 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2013 , the assumptions used for determining fair value of the contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those used at the acquisition date.

• On May 2, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Atlantis Pharma (“Atlantis”), a branded generics pharmaceutical company located in Mexico, for up-front payments of $65.5 million (MXN $847.3 million ), and the Company placed an additional $8.9 million (MXN $114.7 million ) into an escrow account. The amounts in escrow will be paid to the sellers only if certain regulatory milestones are achieved and therefore such amounts were treated as contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $7.6 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2013 , the assumptions used for determining fair value of the contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those used at the acquisition date. Since the acquisition date, certain amounts have been released from escrow to the sellers, reducing the escrow balance to $8.2 million as of December 31, 2013 . The escrow balance is treated as restricted cash and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Atlantis has a broad product portfolio, including products in gastro, analgesics and anti-inflammatory therapeutic categories.

• On March 13, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets from Gerot Lannach, a branded generics pharmaceutical company based in Austria. The Company made an up-front payment of $164.0 million ( €125.0 million ), and the Company may pay a series of contingent consideration payments of up to $19.7 million ( €15.0 million ) if certain net sales milestones are achieved. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $16.8 million as of the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2013 , the assumptions used for determining fair value of the contingent consideration have not changed significantly from those used at the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2013 , the Company made contingent consideration payments of $20.1 million ( €15.0 million ), in the aggregate. There are no remaining contingent consideration payments under this arrangement. As part of the transaction, the Company also entered into a ten -year exclusive supply agreement with Gerot Lannach for the acquired products. Approximately 90% of sales relating to the acquired assets are in Russia, with sales also made in certain Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries including Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Gerot Lannach’s largest product is acetylsalicylic acid, a low dose aspirin.

• On February 1, 2012, the Company acquired Probiotica Laboratorios Ltda. (“Probiotica”), which markets OTC sports nutrition products and other food supplements in Brazil, for a purchase price of $90.5 million (R $158.0 million ).

• During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company completed other smaller acquisitions which are not material individually or in the aggregate. These acquisitions are included in the aggregated amounts presented below.

with guidance for loss contingencies and uncertain tax positions. Under the Company’s contractual arrangement with Probiotica, there is no limitation on the amount or

value of indemnity claims that can be made by the Company; however there is a time restriction of either two or five years, depending on the nature of the claim.

Approximately $12.9 million (R $22.5 million ) of the purchase price for the Probiotica transaction from the date of acquisition had been placed in escrow in accordance

with the indemnification provisions, of which 50% was released to the sellers in February 2013. The Company expects the total amount of such indemnification assets to

be collectible from the sellers.

The amount of the goodwill from the J&J North America, QLT and University Medical acquisitions has been allocated to the Company’s Developed Markets segment. The amount of goodwill from the J&J ROW, Probiotica, Atlantis and Gerot Lannach acquisitions has been allocated to the Company’s Emerging Markets segment.

(c) Business combinations in 2011 included the following:

iNova

Description of the Transaction

On December 21, 2011, the Company acquired iNova from Archer Capital, Ironbridge Capital and other minority management shareholders. The Company made upfront payments of $656.7 million (AUD $657.9 million ) and the Company may pay a series of potential milestones of up to $59.9 million (AUD $60.0 million ) based on the success of pipeline activities, product registrations and overall revenue. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $44.5 million as of the acquisition date, for a total fair value of consideration transferred of $701.2 million . For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized a net gain of $5.5 million and $10.3 million , respectively, primarily due to changes in the estimated probability of achieving the milestones. The net gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statement of (loss) income.

In connection with the transaction, in November and December 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy AUD $625.0 million , which were settled on December 20, 2011. The Company recorded a $16.4 million foreign exchange gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

iNova sells and distributes a range of prescription and OTC products in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and South Africa, including leading therapeutic weight management brands such as Duromine®/Metermine®, as well as leading OTC brands in the cold and cough area, such as Difflam®, Duro-Tuss® and Rikodeine®.

Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

F- 31

(g) The goodwill relates primarily to the Probiotica acquisition. Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects that the Probiotica’s goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded from the J&J ROW, J&J North America, QLT, University Medical, Atlantis and Gerot Lannach acquisitions represents primarily the cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits expected to result from combining the operations with those of the Company. Probiotica’s goodwill recorded represents the following:

• the Company’s expectation to develop and market new product brands and product lines in the future;

• the value associated with the Company’s ability to develop relationships with new customers;

• the value of the continuing operations of Probiotica’s existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had

acquired all of the net assets separately); and

• intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Probiotica’s assembled workforce).

of Sanitas) for approximately $27.4 million . As a result of this purchase, the Company owned 30,593,656 shares or approximately 98.4% of Sanitas as of September 15, 2011.

On September 22, 2011, the Company received approval from the Securities Commission of the Republic of Lithuania to conduct the mandatory tender offer through squeeze out procedures (the “Squeeze Out”) at a price per one ordinary share of Sanitas equal to €10.06 , which requested that all minority shareholders sell to the Company the ordinary shares of Sanitas owned by them ( 512,264 ordinary shares, or 1.6% of Sanitas).

As the Company maintained a controlling financial interest in Sanitas during the Tender Offer, the additional ownership interest of 6.4% acquired in Sanitas was accounted for as an equity transaction between owners. The noncontrolling interest in Sanitas of approximately 1.6% to be acquired through the Squeeze Out procedures was classified as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as it was mandatorily redeemable. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2013 was immaterial.

Sanitas has a broad branded generics product portfolio consisting of 390 products in nine countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Russia and Lithuania. Sanitas has in-house development capabilities in dermatology, hospital injectables and ophthalmology, and a pipeline of internally developed and acquired dossiers.

Elidel®/Xerese®

On June 29, 2011, the Company entered into a license agreement with Meda Pharma SARL (“Meda”) to acquire the exclusive rights to commercialize both Elidel® Cream and Xerese® Cream in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. In addition, the Company and Meda have the right to undertake development work in respect of Elidel® and Xerese® products. The Company made an upfront payment to Meda of $76.0 million with an obligation to pay a series of potential milestone payments of up to $16.0 million and guaranteed royalties totaling $120.0 million in the aggregate through 2011 and 2012. Thereafter, the Company will pay a double-digit royalty to Meda on net sales of Elidel®, Xerese® and Zovirax®, including additional minimum royalties of $120.0 million in the aggregate during 2013-2015. The Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GlaxoSmithKline (“GSK”) in the first quarter of 2011 (as described in note 4).

The Elidel®/Xerese® transaction has been accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of the upfront and contingent consideration, inclusive of minimum and variable royalty payments, was determined to be $437.7 million as of the acquisition date. As the majority of the contingent consideration relates to future royalty payments, the amount ultimately to be paid under this arrangement will be dependent on the future sales levels of Elidel®, Xerese®, and Zovirax®. In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the royalty payments associated with this transaction are treated as part of the consideration paid for the business, and therefore the Company will not recognize royalty expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income for these products. The royalty payments are being recorded as a reduction to the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company made $44.5 million , $88.0 million and $28.5 million , respectively, of acquisition-related contingent consideration payments, including royalties and milestones, related to this transaction. In January 2014, the Company made additional royalty payments totaling $10.0 million .

In April 2013, Mylan Inc. launched a generic Zovirax® ointment, which was earlier than we previously anticipated. Also, in April 2013, we entered into an agreement with Actavis, Inc. (“Actavis”) to launch the authorized generic ointment for Zovirax®. Refer to note 5 titled “COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS” for further information regarding the agreement with Actavis. As a result of analysis in the third quarter of 2013 of performance trends since the generic entrant, the Company adjusted the projected revenue forecast, resulting in an acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain of $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 . For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized a net loss of $6.5 million primarily driven by fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money, partially offset by changes in the projected revenue forecast. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a

(e) Goodwill is calculated as the difference between the acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred and the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents the following:

• the value of the continuing operations of Sanitas’ existing business (that is, the higher rate of return on the assembled net assets versus if the Company had acquired all of the net assets separately); and

• intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition (for instance, Sanitas’ assembled workforce).

The total fair value of the consideration transferred was assigned to product brands intangible assets ( $406.4 million ), acquired IPR&D assets ( $33.5 million ) and a net deferred income tax liability ( $(2.2) million ). The product brands intangible assets have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately eight years. The acquired IPR&D asset relates to the development of a Xerese® life-cycle product. The projected cash flows from the acquired IPR&D asset were adjusted for the probability of successful development and commercialization of the product. In determining the fair value of this asset, we used a risk-adjusted discount rate of 13% to present value the projected cash flows. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recognized an IPR&D impairment charge of $24.7 million related to this asset due to higher projected development spend and revised timelines for potential commercialization. See note 12 titled “INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL” for further information regarding IPR&D asset impairments recognized in 2012.

PharmaSwiss

Description of the Transaction

On March 10, 2011, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of PharmaSwiss S.A. (“PharmaSwiss”), a privately-owned branded generics and OTC pharmaceutical company based in Zug, Switzerland. As of the acquisition date, the total consideration transferred to effect the acquisition of PharmaSwiss comprised cash paid of $491.2 million ( €353.1 million ) and the rights to contingent consideration payments of up to $41.7 million ( €30.0 million ) if certain net sales milestones of PharmaSwiss were achieved for the 2011 calendar year. The fair value of the contingent payments was determined to be $27.5 million as of the acquisition date. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $13.2 million due to changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration. The gain was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. In May 2012, the Company made a contingent consideration payment of $12.4 million ( €10.0 million ) based on the net sales results for the 2011 calendar year. There are no remaining contingent consideration payments under this arrangement.

In connection with the transaction, in February 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency forward-exchange contracts to buy €130.0 million , which were settled on March 9, 2011. The Company recorded a $5.1 million gain on the settlement of these contracts, which was partially offset by a foreign exchange loss of $2.4 million recognized on the remaining €220.0 million bought to finance the transaction. The net foreign exchange gain of $2.7 million was recognized in Foreign exchange and other in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

PharmaSwiss is an existing partner to several large pharmaceutical and biotech companies offering regional expertise in such functions as regulatory, compliance, sales, marketing and distribution, in addition to developing its own product portfolio. Through its business operations, PharmaSwiss offers a broad product portfolio in seven therapeutic areas and operations in 19 countries throughout Central and Eastern Europe, including Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, as well as in Greece and Israel.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

The decline in pro forma revenues in the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to (i) lower sales of the Zovirax® franchise, Retin-A Micro®, BenzaClin® and Cesamet® due to generic competition and (ii) lower alliance and royalty revenue resulting from a milestone payment recognized in the second quarter of 2012 from GSK in connection with the launch of Potiga® (see note 5 titled “COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS” for further information). These declines were partially offset by growth from the remaining business.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information of the Company and the acquired businesses described above. Except to the extent realized in the year ended December 31, 2013, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits that the Company may achieve as a result of these acquisitions, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and other benefits. In addition, except to the extent recognized in the year ended December 31, 2013, the unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the costs to integrate the operations of the Company with those of the acquired businesses.

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the 2013 acquisitions and the 2012 acquisitions been completed on January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2011, respectively. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information does not purport to project the future results of operations of the Company. The unaudited pro forma information reflects primarily the following adjustments:

In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Medicis in December 2012, the Company assumed an agreement with Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc. (“Hyperion”). Under the terms of this agreement, Hyperion exercised an option in the second quarter of 2013 to acquire worldwide rights to Buphenyl® from the Company for cash proceeds of $19.0 million . There was no gain or loss associated with this transaction.

Divestitures of IDP-111 and 5-FU

In connection with the acquisition of the Dermik, the Company was required by the FTC to divest IDP-111, a generic version of BenzaClin®, and 5-FU, an authorized generic of Efudex®.

In February 2012, the Company sold the IDP-111 and 5-FU products. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recognized $7.9 million and $19.8 million of impairment charges related to the write-down of the carrying values of the IDP-111 and 5-FU intangible assets, respectively, to their estimated fair values, less costs to sell. In connection with the sale of the IDP-111 and 5-FU, the Company realized $66.3 million of cash proceeds in the first quarter of 2012, which resulted in a loss on sale of $2.6 million . The loss on sale was included in Other expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. See Reclassifications under note 2 titled “Significant Accounting Policies”for further information related to the presentation in the consolidated statements of (loss) income of the proceeds received.

Cloderm®

In March 2011, the Company out-licensed the product rights to Cloderm® Cream, 0.1%, in the U.S. to Promius Pharma LLC, an affiliate of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, in exchange for a $36.0 million up-front payment, which was received in early April 2011, and future royalty payments. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a gain on sale of $5.3 million , which was included in Other expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. See Reclassifications under note 2 titled “Significant Accounting Policies” for further information related to the presentation in the consolidated statements of (loss) income of the proceeds received.

Zovirax®

In February 2011 and March 2011, the Company acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights, respectively, to non-ophthalmic topical formulations of Zovirax® from GSK. Pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreements, the Company paid GSK an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash for both the U.S. and Canadian rights. The Company had been marketing Zovirax® in the U.S. since January 1, 2002, under a 20 -year exclusive distribution agreement with GSK, which distribution agreement terminated following the closing of the U.S. transaction. The Company has entered into new supply agreements and new trademark license agreements with GSK with respect to the U.S. and Canadian territories.

This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase of identifiable intangible assets. Accordingly, the purchase price (including costs of acquisition) was allocated to the product brand intangible asset, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of 11 years. In addition, the Company reclassified the $91.4 million unamortized carrying amount of the original exclusive distribution agreement from product rights to the product brand intangible asset, to be amortized over the same 11 -year estimated useful life.

See note 5 titled “COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS” for information regarding the agreement with Actavis to launch the authorized generic ointment for Zovirax®.

Collaboration Agreements Assumed in Connection with the B&L Acquisition

In connection with the B&L Acquisition in August 2013, the Company assumed several research and development licensing and collaboration agreements, including, among others, the arrangements described below. As part of the Company’s integration efforts, these agreements will be evaluated, which could result in future contract termination costs incurred by the Company.

Worldwide Licensing Agreement for Latanoprostene Bunod

In March 2010, B&L entered into a development and licensing agreement with NicOx, which granted B&L exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize, for certain indications, products containing latanoprostene bunod, a nitric oxide donating compound for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

If the Company elects to exercise the option to acquire the incremental rights described above, the Company will make an additional payment to Bristol-Myers in an amount to be determined based on net sales performance of the products. The majority of the $83.3 million in payments was allocated, based on relative fair values, to the value of the option, which is included in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining portion was allocated to intangible assets, other current assets, and inventory.

Development and License Agreement with a specialty pharmaceutical company

On March 30, 2012, Medicis entered into a Development and License Agreement with a specialty pharmaceutical company pursuant to which Medicis obtained exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of an investigational drug targeted at certain topical skin applications. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may pay up to $80.0 million upon the achievement of certain research, development and regulatory milestones and up to $120.0 million upon the achievement of certain sales-based milestones, as well as royalties on future sales.

GSK License and Collaboration Agreement

In October 2008, Valeant closed the worldwide License and Collaboration Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) with GSK to develop and commercialize a first-in-class neuronal potassium channel opener for treatment of adult epilepsy patients with refractory partial onset seizures and its backup compounds, with a generic name of ezogabine in the U.S. and retigabine in all other countries. Pursuant to the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Valeant granted co-development rights and worldwide commercialization rights to GSK.

Valeant agreed to share equally with GSK the development and pre-commercialization expenses of ezogabine/retigabine in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Puerto Rico (the “Collaboration Territory”). Following the launch of an ezogabine/retigabine product, the Company will share equally in the profits of ezogabine/retigabine in the Collaboration Territory. In addition, Valeant granted GSK an exclusive license to develop and commercialize retigabine in countries outside of the Collaboration Territory and certain backup compounds to ezogabine/retigabine worldwide. GSK is responsible for all expenses outside of the Collaboration Territory and will solely fund the development of any backup compound. The Company receives up to a 20% royalty on net sales of retigabine outside of the Collaboration Territory. In addition, if backup compounds are developed and commercialized by GSK, GSK will pay the Company royalties of up to 20% of net sales of products based upon such backup compounds.

In connection with the first sale of Potiga® in the U.S. (which occurred in April 2012), GSK paid the Company a $45.0 million milestone payment, and the Company will share up to 50% of the net profits from the sale of Potiga®. In addition, in connection with the first sale of Trobalt® by GSK in the European Union (which occurred in May 2011), GSK paid the Company a $40.0 million milestone payment and pays up to a 20% royalty on net sales of the product. As substantive uncertainty existed at the inception of the Collaboration Agreement as to whether the milestones would be achieved because of the uncertainty involved with obtaining regulatory approval, no amounts were previously recognized for these potential milestone payments. The milestone payments (1) relate solely to past performance of the Company, (2) are reasonable relative to the other deliverables and payment terms within the Collaboration Agreement, and (3) are commensurate with the Company’s efforts in collaboration with GSK to achieve the milestone events and the increase in value of ezogabine/retigabine. Accordingly, the milestones are considered substantive, and the milestone payments are being recognized by the Company as alliance and royalty revenue upon achievement. In the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $45.0 million and $40.0 million of milestone payments from GSK in connection with the launches of Potiga® and Trobalt®, respectively.

The Company’s rights to ezogabine/retigabine are subject to an asset purchase agreement between Meda Pharma GmbH & Co. KG (“Meda Pharma”) and Xcel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was acquired by Valeant in 2005 (the “Meda Pharma Agreement”). Under the Meda Pharma Agreement, the Company is required to make certain milestone and royalty payments to Meda Pharma. Within the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand, any royalty payments to Meda Pharma will be shared by the Company and GSK. In the rest of the world, the Company will be responsible for the payment of these royalties to Meda Pharma from the royalty payments it receives from GSK.

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $551.6 million related to ezogabine/retigabine (immediate-release formulation) and fully impaired an IPR&D asset relating to a modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine, which resulted in a charge of $93.8 million .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

In connection with the B&L and Medicis acquisitions as well as the Company’s (then named Biovail Corporation (“Biovail”)) acquisition of Valeant on September 28, 2010 (the “Merger”) and other smaller acquisitions, the Company has implemented cost-rationalization and integration initiatives to capture operating synergies and generate cost savings across the Company. These measures included:

B&L Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The Company estimates that it will incur total costs that are approximately half of the estimated annual synergies of greater than $850 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2014. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $364.2 million (including (i) $181.3 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $14.1 million of acquisition-related costs, and (iii) $168.8 million of integration expenses) have been incurred through December 31, 2013 . The estimate of total costs to be incurred primarily includes: employee termination costs payable to approximately 2,500 employees of the Company and B&L who have been or will be terminated as a result of the B&L Acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. These estimates do not include charges of $48.5 million and $4.3 million recognized and paid in the third quarter of 2013 related to B&L’s previously cancelled performance-based options and the acceleration of unvested stock options for B&L employees as a result of the B&L Acquisition, respectively.

The following table summarizes the major components of restructuring costs incurred in connection with B&L Acquisition-related initiatives through December 31, 2013 :

___________________________________

Medicis Acquisition-Related Cost-Rationalization and Integration Initiatives

The Company estimated that it will incur total costs of less than $250 million in connection with these cost-rationalization and integration initiatives, which were substantially completed by the end of 2013. However, certain costs may still be incurred in 2014. Since the acquisition date, total costs of $181.3 million (including (i) $109.2 million of restructuring expenses, (ii) $32.2 million of acquisition-related costs, which excludes $24.2 million of acquisition-related costs recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 related to royalties to be paid to Galderma S.A. on sales of Sculptra®, and (iii) $39.9 million of integration expenses) have been incurred through December 31, 2013 . The estimated costs primarily include: employee termination costs payable to approximately 750 employees of the Company and Medicis who have been terminated as a result of the Medicis Acquisition; IPR&D termination costs related to the transfer to other parties of product-development programs that did not align with our research and development model; costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees; and contract termination and lease cancellation costs. These estimates do not include a charge of $77.3 million recognized and

• workforce reductions across the Company and other organizational changes;

• closing of duplicative facilities and other site rationalization actions company-wide, including research and development facilities, sales offices and corporate facilities;

• leveraging research and development spend; and

• procurement savings.

With respect to the Merger, facility closure costs included in the table above included charges of $10.2 million and $9.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for the remaining operating lease obligations related to the Company’s vacated Mississauga, Ontario corporate office facility.

As described in note 26, restructuring costs are not recorded in the Company’s reportable segments.

Other Restructuring and Integration-Related Costs

In the year ended December 31, 2013 , in addition to restructuring costs associated with the Company’s B&L and Medicis Acquisition-related initiatives shown in the tables above, the Company incurred an additional $257.1 million of other restructuring, integration-related and other costs including (i) $190.1 million of integration consulting, duplicate labor, transition service, and other costs, (ii) $39.1 million of facility closure costs, (iii) $15.1 million of severance costs and (iv) $12.8 million of other costs, including non-personnel manufacturing integration costs. These costs primarily related to (i) B&L and Medicis integration costs, as well as integration and restructuring costs for other smaller acquisitions, (ii) intellectual property migration and the global consolidation of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, and (iii) systems integration initiatives. The Company made payments of $296.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 (in addition to the $138.3 million and $35.0 million of payments related to B&L and Medicis restructuring, respectively, shown in the tables above).

In the year ended December 31, 2012 , in addition to restructuring costs associated with the Company’s Medicis Acquisition-related and Merger-related initiatives shown in the tables above, the Company incurred an additional $167.0 million of other restructuring, integration-related and other costs, in the aggregate, including (i) $73.5 million of integration consulting, duplicate labor, transition service, and other, (ii) $57.6 million of severance costs, (iii) $18.3 million of other costs, including non-personnel manufacturing integration costs and (iv) $17.6 million of facility closure costs. The Company also made payments of $147.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 (in addition to the $155.3 million and $26.6 million of payments related to Medicis and Merger restructuring, respectively, shown in the tables above). In the year ended December 31, 2011, in addition to restructuring costs associated with the Company’s Merger-related initiatives shown in the table above, the Company incurred $50.8 million of integration-related costs, of which $37.5 million had been paid as of December 31, 2011 (in addition to the $55.6 million of payments related to the Merger restructuring, shown in the table above). The costs in 2012 and 2011 were primarily related to the acquisitions of Medicis, Dermik, iNova, Sanitas, OraPharma, Ortho Dermatologics, Afexa, PharmaSwiss, and a U.S. restructuring in 2012 focused primarily on a reduction in the prescription dermatology field force, the global consolidation of the Company’s manufacturing facilities, and systems integration initiatives.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2013 .

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs include (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based; and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

____________________________________

For the year ended December 31, 2012, a net gain of $5.3 million was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The Acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain was primarily driven by (i) a net gain of $10.3 million related to the iNova acquisition, primarily due to changes in the estimated probability of achieving the milestones, partially offset by (ii) a net loss of $6.5 million related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement, primarily driven by fair value adjustments to reflect accretion for the time value of money, partially offset by changes in the projected revenue forecast.

During the year ended December 31, 2013 , the Company sold its entire investment in auction rate floating securities assumed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition in December 2012 (as described in note 3) and realized a gain of $1.9 million .

As of December 31, 2012 , the Company also held investments in auction rate floating securities assumed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition, which were classified as available-for-sale securities and reflected at fair value (Level 3).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

As of December 31, 2013 , the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition included:

(i) an intangible asset within the Company’s Developed Markets segment, related to ezogabine/retigabine (immediate-release formulation) which is co-developed and marketed under a collaboration agreement with GSK. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $551.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. In addition, the Company fully impaired an IPR&D asset, within the Company’s Developed Markets segment, relating to a modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine, which resulted in a charge of $93.8 million . The $93.8 million write-off was recognized in the third quarter of 2013 in In-process research and development impairments and other charges in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. These impairment charges were driven by analysis of expected future cash flows based on the communication

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2013 , a net gain of $29.3 million was recognized as Acquisition-related contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain was primarily driven by a net gain related to the Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement entered into with Meda in June 2011 (the “Elidel®/Xerese®/Zovirax® agreement”). In April 2013, Mylan Inc. launched a generic Zovirax® ointment, which was earlier than we previously anticipated. Also, in April 2013, we entered into an agreement with Actavis to launch the authorized generic ointment for Zovirax®. Refer to note 5 titled “COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS” for further information regarding the agreement with Actavis. As a result of analysis in the third quarter of 2013 of performance trends since the generic entrant, the Company adjusted the projected revenue forecast, resulting in an acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain of $20.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2013 . Also contributing to the acquisition-related contingent consideration net gain was a net gain of $6.9 million which resulted from the termination, in the third quarter of 2013, of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program acquired by Valeant as part of Aton Pharma, Inc. (“Aton”) acquisition in May 2010, which impacted the probability associated with potential milestone payments. The termination of this program also resulted in an IPR&D impairment charge in the third quarter of 2013, as described in note 12 titled “INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL” .

will not launch the product in certain other planned territories. Per the terms of the collaboration agreement, GSK controls all sales force promotion for the product. Such changes are expected to have a significant impact on future cash flows of ezogabine/retigabine. The adjusted carrying amount of the ezogabine/retigabine (immediate-release formulation) of $45.1 million was equal to its estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs. As a result of the events noted above, the Company believes that the value of the modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine to a market participant would be zero.

(ii) assets held for sale within the Company’s Developed Markets segment, related to certain suncare and skincare brands, including inventory on hand, sold primarily in Australia. The Company recognized additional impairment charges of $31.5 million in 2013 for these brands in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The additional impairment charges, which were recognized primarily in the first quarter, were driven by assessment of offers received and analysis of updated market data. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold the skincare brands that were classified as held for sale (see note 4 titled “ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS” for further information). With respect to the remaining suncare brands, the plan of sale changed in the fourth quarter of 2013, and the Company no longer intends to sell these assets. Consequently, the carrying amount of $5.6 million , in the aggregate, for the remaining brands, is no longer classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2013; and

(iii) an intangible asset within the Company’s Developed Markets segment, related to Cortaid®, a dermatological product sold in the U.S. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $5.7 million in 2013 for this brand in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The impairment charge was driven by discontinuations of the product by certain retailers. The adjusted carrying amount of $1.0 million for this asset was equal to its estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs.

As of December 31, 2012 , the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition included:

(i) an IPR&D asset related to a Xerese® life-cycle product. The Company recognized an impairment charge in 2012 of $24.7 million in In-process research and development impairments and other charges related to this asset due to higher projected development spend and revised timelines for potential commercialization. The adjusted carrying amount of $8.8 million as of December 31, 2012 for this asset was equal to its estimated fair value, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs;

(ii) intangible assets related to certain suncare and skincare brands sold primarily in Australia, which are classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2012 of $31.3 million for these brands in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. These charges included an allocation of goodwill of $12.8 million based on the relative fair value of these brands as compared to the total fair value of the Australia reporting unit. The adjusted carrying amount of $60.5 million for these assets as of December 31, 2012, in the aggregate, was equal to their estimated fair values less costs to sell, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs; and

(iii) intangible asset related to the Dermaglow® product classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized impairment charges in 2012 of $18.7 million for the Dermaglow® product in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The adjusted carrying amount of $2.2 million for this asset as of December 31, 2012 was equal to its estimated fair value less costs to sell, which was determined using discounted cash flows and represents Level 3 inputs.

In addition, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a write-off of $10.0 million related to certain OTC skincare products in the U.S. (included in the Company’s Developed Markets segment) due to the discontinuation of the products. The Company does not believe these programs have value to a market participant.

In the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a write-off of $22.2 million related to Opana®, a pain relief medication approved in Canada (included in the Company’s Developed Markets segment), due to production issues arising in the first quarter of 2013. These production issues resulted in higher spending projections and delayed commercialization timelines which, in turn, triggered the Company’s decision to suspend its launch plans. The Company does not believe this program has value to a market participant.

These impairment charges were recognized in Amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company wrote off an IPR&D asset of $93.8 million relating to a modified-release formulation of ezogabine/retigabine. For further information regarding this write-off, see note 7 titled “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS”.

In addition, in the third quarter of 2013, the Company wrote-off IPR&D assets of $27.3 million , in the aggregate, due to the write-off of IPR&D assets acquired by Valeant as part of Aton acquisition in May 2010, mainly related to the termination of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program (Developed Markets segment) in the third quarter of 2013. The Company does not believe these programs have value to a market participant.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recognized an IPR&D impairment charge of $24.7 million related to a Xerese® life-cycle product (Developed Markets segment) due to higher projected development spend and revised timelines for potential commercialization. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company wrote off an IPR&D asset of $133.4 million , relating to the IDP-107 program (Developed Markets segment), which was acquired in September 2010 as part of the Merger. Through discussion with various internal and external Key Opinion Leaders, the Company completed its analysis of the Phase 2 study results for IDP-107 during the third quarter of 2012. This led to the Company’s decision in the third quarter of 2012 to terminate the program and fully impair the asset. As attempts to identify a partner for the program were not successful, the Company continues to not believe the program has value to a market participant. In addition, in the second quarter of 2012, the Company wrote off $4.3 million relating to the termination of the MC5 program (Developed Markets segment) acquired as part of the Ortho Dermatologics acquisition in 2011 described in note 3.

The write offs of the IPR&D assets were recorded in In-process research and development impairments and other charges in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

In addition, a $12.0 million payment in the third quarter of 2012 to terminate a research and development commitment with a third party was included in In-process research and development impairments and other charges in the consolidated statements of (loss) income.

For further information regarding asset impairment charges, see note 7 titled “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS”.

The increase in intangible assets, net in 2013 primarily reflects the acquisition of the B&L, Obagi, Eisai and Natur Produkt identifiable intangible assets (as described in note 3) partially offset by amortization, the intangible impairments described above and the negative impact of foreign currency exchange.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , amortization and impairments of finite-lived intangible assets were recorded as follows:

(1) In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $551.6 million related to ezogabine/retigabine (immediate-release formulation) which is co-developed and marketed under a collaboration agreement with GSK. For further information regarding this asset impairment charge, see note 7 titled “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS”.

(2) In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company wrote-off (i) an IPR&D asset of $14.4 million related to the termination of the Mapracorat development program (included in both the Emerging Markets and Developed Markets segments), acquired by the Company as part of B&L Acquisition, resulting from analysis of Phase 3 study results and (ii) an IPR&D asset of $8.8 million related to a Xerese® life-cycle product (Developed Markets segment) due to assessment of market data and evaluation of development risk. The Company does not believe these programs have value to a market participant.

(3) Represents the B&L corporate trademark, which has an indefinite useful life and is not amortizable. See note 3 “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS” for further information.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On February 13, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into the Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions and investors. Between February 13, 2012 and December 31, 2012, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a series of joinder agreements to, among other things, (i) increase the existing tranche B term loan facility (the “Tranche B Term Loan Facility”) through new incremental term loans, (ii) reprice and refinance the Tranche B Term Loan Facility (such repriced Tranche B Term Loan Facility, the “Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility”), and (iii) increase the amount of commitments under the revolving credit facility provided under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In connection with the repricing and refinancing of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $17.6 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. In addition, in connection with the Medicis acquisition, the Company on December 11, 2012, issued $1.0 billion in a new Series C of the Tranche B Term Loans (the “Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). As of December 31, 2012, the Credit Agreement provided for a $450.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, including a sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and a sublimit for swing line loans, a $2.225 billion senior secured tranche A term loan facility (the “Tranche A Term Loan Facility”), a $1.3 billion senior secured Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and a $1.0 billion senior secured Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

On January 24, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement to reprice the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, (as so amended, the “Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility”) and the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a base rate or (b) a LIBO rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The initial applicable margin for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche A Term Loan Facility was 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings. As amended, the applicable margins for the Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility each were reduced by 0.75% . Interest rates for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility are subject to increase or decrease quarterly based on leverage ratios. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the effective rate of interest on the Company’s borrowings under the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility was 2.46% per annum. In 2013, the Company made a voluntary prepayment of the scheduled March 2014 amortization payment applicable to the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility, resulting in a principal reduction of $106.3 million .

On February 21, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement to effectuate a repricing of the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility by the issuance of $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion in new incremental term loans (the “Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility” and “Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”, respectively). Term loans under the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility, respectively. The applicable margins for borrowings under the Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility are 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.75% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings, subject to a 0.75% LIBO rate floor and a 1.75% base rate floor. The term loans under the Series D-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Series C-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility mature on February 13, 2019 and December 11, 2019, respectively, began amortizing quarterly on March 31, 2013 at an annual rate of 1.0% and have terms consistent with the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility, respectively. In connection with the repricing of the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility, the Company paid a prepayment premium of approximately $23.0 million , equal to 1.0% of the refinanced term loans under the Series D Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $21.4 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Incremental Term Loan Facilities, the August 2018 Notes, the July 2021 Notes and the equity were utilized to fund (i) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) B&L’s obligation to repay all outstanding loans under certain of its existing credit facilities, (iii) B&L’s tender offer for or discharge or irrevocable call for redemption and deposit of cash to effect such discharge or redemption of B&L’s 9.875% Senior Notes due 2015 and (iv) certain transaction expenses. In connection with the Commitment Letter, the Company incurred approximately $37.3 million in fees, which were recognized as deferred financing costs. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company expensed $24.2 million of deferred financing costs associated with the Commitment Letter to Interest expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. The remaining $13.1 million of deferred financing costs was expensed to Interest expense in the third quarter of 2013 upon closing of the August 2018 Notes and July 2021 Notes on July 12, 2013.

In connection with the acquisition of Medicis, the Company and its subsidiary, Valeant, entered into a commitment letter, dated as of September 2, 2012, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to provide up to $2.75 billion through a bridge loan facility. On September 11, 2012, the Company and Valeant entered into an amended and restated commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and other financial institutions. Subsequently, the Company obtained $2.75 billion in financing through a syndication of $1.0 billion in the Series C Tranche B Term Loan Facility under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the issuance of the 6.375% Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion . Consequently, the commitment under the commitment letter to provide the bridge loan facility was not utilized and terminated on December 11, 2012, concurrently with the closing of the Medicis Acquisition. As a result, the Company wrote off of $8.0 million of deferred financing costs in the year ended December 31, 2012 .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

On June 10, 2009, the Company issued $350.0 million principal amount of 5.375% senior convertible notes due August 1, 2014 (the “5.375% Convertible Notes”).

On June 29, 2012, the Company distributed a notice of redemption to holders of the Company’s 5.375% Convertible Notes to redeem all of the outstanding 5.375% Convertible Notes on August 2, 2012 (the “Redemption Date”), at a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. On August 1, 2012, all of the outstanding 5.375% Convertible Notes were converted by holders, and on September 5, 2012, they were settled 100% in cash in the aggregate amount of $62.1 million .

Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 5.375% Convertible Notes was $16.0 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $18.3 million . The difference of $2.3 million between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The difference of $43.8 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $18.3 million and the aggregate purchase price of $62.1 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $0.2 million and $43.6 million , respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company repurchased $1.1 million and $205.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $4.0 million and $623.3 million , respectively.

4.0% Convertible Notes

In connection with the Merger in September 2010, the Company assumed $225.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of Valeant’s 4.0% Convertible Notes and call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes.

All of the outstanding 4.0% Convertible Notes were converted into 17,782,764 common shares of the Company, at a conversion rate of 79.0667 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represented a conversion price of approximately $12.65 per share. Immediately prior to settlement, the carrying amount of the liability component of the 4.0% Convertible Notes was $221.3 million and the estimated fair value of the liability component was $226.0 million . The difference of $4.7 million between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the liability component was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011. The difference of $666.0 million between the estimated fair value of the liability component of $226.0 million and the aggregate fair value of the common shares issued to effect the settlement of $892.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $226.0 million and $440.0 million , respectively.

With respect to Valeant’s call option agreements in respect of the shares underlying the conversion of $200.0 million principal amount of the 4.0% Convertible Notes, these agreements consisted of purchased call options on 15,813,338 common shares, which matured on May 20, 2011, and written call options on the identical number of shares, which matured on August 18, 2011. As of the Merger Date, these call options were to be settled in common shares of the Company. In June 2011, 11,479,365 common shares were received on the net-share settlement of the purchased call options, which common shares were subsequently cancelled.

In September 2011, Valeant amended the written call option agreements so that Valeant could elect to settle all or some of the written call options in cash. In the third quarter of 2011, Valeant paid $66.9 million in cash and issued 7,518,595 of its common shares on a net-share basis to settle the written call options. In October 2011, 961,461 common shares were issued on a net-share basis to complete the settlement of the written call options.

In connection with the B&L Acquisition completed on August 5, 2013, the Company assumed all of B&L’s benefit obligations and related plan assets. This includes defined benefit plans and a participatory defined benefit postretirement medical and life insurance plan, which covers a closed grandfathered group of legacy B&L U.S. employees and employees in certain other countries. The U.S. defined benefit accruals were frozen as of December 31, 2004 and benefits that were earned up to December 31, 2004 were preserved. Participants continue to earn interest credits on their cash balance. The most significant non-U.S. plans are two defined benefit plans in Ireland, which comprise approximately 80% of the benefit obligations of the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans as of the B&L Acquisition date. Both Ireland plans were closed to future service benefit accruals in 2011. All of the pension benefits that were earned prior to the closure of the plans

were preserved; however, the only additional benefits that accrue are annual salary and inflation increases. The postretirement benefit plan was amended effective

January 1, 2005 to eliminate employer contributions after age 65 for participants who did not meet the minimum requirements of age and service on that date. The employer contributions for medical and prescription drug benefits for participants retiring after March 1, 1989 were frozen effective January 1, 2010.

In addition, outside of the U.S., a limited group of Valeant employees are covered by defined benefit pension plans. The Company assumed all of Valeant’s defined benefit obligations and related plan assets in connection with the Merger.

The Company uses December 31 as the year-end measurement date for all of its defined benefit pension plans and the postretirement benefit plan.

Accounting for Pension Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefit Plan

The Company recognizes on its balance sheet an asset or liability equal to the over- or under-funded benefit obligation of each defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plan. Actuarial gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost are recognized, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income.

Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013 are unrecognized actuarial gains of $11.2 million and $12.7 million related to the Company’s U.S. pension benefit plan and the non-U.S. pension benefit plans, respectively. Also included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2013 are unrecognized prior service credits of $27.9 million , resulting from a negative plan amendment, as discussed below, and unrecognized actuarial gains of $1.0 million related to the U.S. postretirement benefit plan. Of the December 31, 2013 amounts, the Company expects to recognize $2.5 million of unrecognized prior service credits in net periodic benefit cost during 2014.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost

The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plan for the year ended December 31, 2013 :

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 , the net periodic cost, which relates to the legacy Valeant defined benefit plans in Mexico, was not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Information for the pension benefit plans that are underfunded on a projected benefit obligation basis (versus underfunded on an accumulated benefit basis as in the table above) is presented in the following table:

The Non-U.S. Plans’ accumulated benefit obligation for both the funded and underfunded pension benefit plans was $201.5 and $5.1 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

The Company’s policy for funding its pension benefit plans is to make contributions that meet or exceed the minimum statutory funding requirements. These contributions are determined based upon recommendations made by the actuary under accepted actuarial principles. In 2014, the Company expects to contribute $10.8 million and $8.5 million to the U.S and Non-U.S. pension benefit plans, respectively.

The Company plans to use postretirement benefit plan assets to fund postretirement benefit plan benefit payments in 2014.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments

Future benefit payments over the next 10 years for the pension benefit plans and the postretirement benefit plan, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:

____________________________________

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was developed based on a capital markets model that uses expected asset class returns, variance and correlation assumptions. The expected asset class returns were developed starting with current Treasury (for the U.S. pension plan) or Eurozone (for the Ireland pension plans) government yields and then adding corporate bond spreads and equity risk premiums to develop the return expectations for each asset class. The expected asset class returns are forward-looking. The variance and correlation assumptions are also forward-looking. They take into account historical relationships, but are adjusted to reflect expected capital market trends. The expected return on plan assets for the Company’s U.S. pension plan for 2013 was 7.50% and for the postretirement benefit plan was 5.50% . The expected return for the postretirement plan is based on the expected return for the U.S. pension plan reduced by 2.0% to reflect an estimate of additional administrative expenses. The expected return on plan assets for the Company’s Ireland pension plans was 6.0% .

The discount rate used to determine benefit obligations represents the current rate at which the benefit plan liabilities could be effectively settled considering the timing of expected payments for plan participants.

The 2014 expected rate of return for the U.S. pension benefit plan and the U.S. postretirement benefit plan will remain at 7.50% percent and 5.50% , respectively. The 2014 expected rate of return for the Ireland pension benefit plans will also remain at 6.0% .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

The investment strategy underlying pension plan asset allocation is to manage the assets of the plan to provide for the long-term liabilities while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits. Pension plan assets are diversified to protect against large investment losses and to reduce the probability of excessive performance volatility. Diversification of assets is achieved by allocating funds to various asset classes and investment styles within asset classes, and retaining investment management firm(s) with complementary investment philosophies, styles and approaches.

The Company’s pension plan assets are managed by outside investment managers using a total return investment approach, whereby a mix of equity and debt securities investments are used to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets. A significant portion of the assets of the U.S. and Ireland pension plans have been invested in equity securities, as equity portfolios have historically provided higher returns than debt and other asset classes over extended time horizons. Correspondingly, equity investments also entail greater risks than other investments. Equity risks are balanced by investing a significant portion of plan assets in broadly diversified fixed income securities.

Fair Value of Plan Assets

The Company measured the fair value of plan assets based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an olderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy described in note 7 titled “FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS”.

The table below presents total plan assets by investment category as of December 31, 2013 and the classification of each investment category within the fair value hierarchy with respect to the inputs used to measure fair value:

(1) Cash equivalents consisted primarily of term deposits and money market instruments. The fair value of the term deposits approximates their carrying amounts due to their short term maturities. The money market instruments also have short maturities and are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.

(2) Commingled funds are not publicly traded. The underlying assets in these funds are publicly traded on the exchanges and have readily available price quotes. The Ireland pension plans held approximately 85% of the non-U.S. commingled funds in 2013. The commingled funds held by the U.S. and Ireland pension plans are primarily invested in index funds.

(3) The underlying assets in the fixed income funds are generally valued using the net asset value per fund share, which is derived using a market approach with inputs that include broker quotes, benchmark yields, base spreads and reported trades.

(4) The insurance policies held by the postretirement benefit plan consist of variable life insurance contracts whose fair value is their cash surrender value. Cash surrender value is the amount currently payable by the insurance company upon surrender of the policy. The cash surrender value is based principally on the net asset values of the underlying trust funds, adjusted by annuity factors incorporating mortality, plan expenses and income reinvestment. The trust funds are commingled funds that are not publicly traded. The underlying assets in these funds are primarily publicly traded on exchanges and have readily available price quotes.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors defined contribution plans in the U.S., Ireland and certain other countries. Under these plans, employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries to the plans, and the Company matches a portion of the employee contributions. The Company contributed $16.4 million , $2.8 million and $2.1 million to these plans in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the Company’s costs associated with the defined contribution plans in 2013 was driven by the plans assumed as part of the B&L Acquisition.

Securities Repurchase Programs

On November 4, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a securities repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company could make purchases of our common shares, convertible notes and/or senior notes, from time to time, up to an aggregate maximum value of $1.5 billion , subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. On August 29, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved an increase of $300.0 million under its securities repurchase program (the “2010 Securities Repurchase Program”). As a result, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company was able to repurchase up to $1.8 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other notes or shares that were issued prior to the completion of the program. The 2010 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 7, 2011.

On November 3, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2011 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 8, 2011, the Company could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares. The 2011 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 7, 2012.

On November 19, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2012 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 15, 2012, the Company could make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2012 Securities Repurchase Program terminated on November 14, 2013.

On November 21, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new securities repurchase program (the “2013 Securities Repurchase Program”). Under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program, which commenced on November 22, 2013, the Company may make purchases of up to $1.5 billion of its convertible notes, senior notes, common shares and/or other future debt or shares, subject to any restrictions in the Company’s financing agreements and applicable law. The 2013 Securities Repurchase Program will terminate on November 21, 2014 or at such time as the Company completes its purchases. The amount of securities to be purchased and the timing of purchases under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program may be subject to various factors, which may include the price of the securities, general market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, alternate investment opportunities and restrictions under our financing agreements and applicable law.

Repurchase of 5.375% Convertible Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2012, under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased $1.1 million principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes for a purchase price of $4.0 million . The carrying amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes purchased was $1.0 million (net of related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the estimated fair value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes exclusive of the conversion feature was $1.1 million . The difference of $0.1 million between the net carrying amount and the estimated fair value was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19). The difference of $2.9 million between the estimated fair value of $1.1 million and the purchase price of $4.0 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $0.2 million and $2.7 million , respectively. The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt discount amounted to $0.1 million , and is included as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The remaining portion of the payment of $3.9 million is presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows as an outflow from financing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program and the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased $203.8 million and $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $619.4 million and $3.9 million , respectively. The carrying amount of the 5.375% Convertible Notes purchased was $177.6 million (net of $5.6 million of related unamortized deferred financing costs) and the estimated fair value of the 5.375% Convertible Notes exclusive of the conversion feature was $209.2 million . The difference of $31.6 million between the net carrying amount and the estimated fair value was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt (as described in note 19). The difference of $414.1 million between the estimated fair value of $209.2 million and the purchase price of $623.3 million resulted in charges to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $33.2 million and $380.9 million , respectively. The portion of the purchase price attributable to accreted interest on the debt discount amounted to $9.8 million , and is included as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The remaining portion of the payment of $613.5 million is presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as an outflow from financing activities.

In addition to the ValueAct repurchases, in the year ended December 31, 2011, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program and the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased 1,800,000 and 1,534,857 of its common shares, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $74.5 million and $65.1 million , respectively. These common shares were subsequently cancelled. As a result, in 2011, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program and 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased, in the aggregate, 13,664,599 and 1,534,857 of its common shares, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $574.1 million and $65.1 million , respectively. The excess of the cost of the common shares repurchased over their assigned value of $374.4 million was charged to accumulated deficit.

Redemption of Senior Notes

During the year ended December 31, 2011, under the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program and 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, the Company also redeemed $10.0 million and $89.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s senior notes, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $9.9 million and $88.7 million , respectively.

Total Repurchases

In connection with the 2010 Securities Repurchase Program, through the termination date of November 7, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately $1.5 billion , in the aggregate, of its convertible notes, senior notes and common shares.

During 2011, the Company repurchased approximately $157.7 million , in the aggregate, of its convertible notes, senior notes and common shares under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program.

During 2012, under the 2011 Securities Repurchase Program, through the termination date of November 7, 2012, the Company repurchased approximately $284.7 million , in the aggregate, of its convertible notes and common shares.

During 2013, the Company had repurchased approximately $35.7 million , in the aggregate, of its common shares under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program through the termination date of November 14, 2013.

During 2013, the Company did not make any purchases of our senior notes or common shares under the 2013 Securities Repurchase Program.

Additional Repurchases outside the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program

In addition to the repurchases made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company repurchased an additional 217,294 of its common shares on behalf of certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors, in connection with the share settlement of certain deferred stock units and restricted stock units held by such directors following the termination of the applicable equity program. These common shares were subsequently transferred to such directors. These common shares were repurchased for an aggregate purchase price of $19.9 million . The excess of the purchase price over the carrying value of the common shares repurchased of $15.6 million was charged to the accumulated deficit. As the common shares were repurchased on behalf of certain of the Company’s directors, these repurchases were not made under the 2012 Securities Repurchase Program.

Issuance of Common Stock

On June 24, 2013, the Company completed, pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. and Goldman Sachs Canada, Inc., a public offering for the sale of 27,058,824 of its common shares, no par value, at a price of $85.00 per share, or aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion . In connection with the issuance of these new common shares, the Company incurred approximately $30.7 million of issuance costs, which has been reflected as reduction to the gross proceeds from the equity issuance.

In May 2011, shareholders approved the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) which replaced the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan for future equity awards granted by the Company. The Company transferred the shares available under the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan to the Plan under which the Company is authorized to grant up to 6,846,310 shares of its

The following table summarizes the components and classification of share-based compensation expense related to stock options and RSUs:

____________________________________

In the second quarter of 2013, certain equity awards held by current non-management directors were modified from units settled in common shares to units settled in cash, which changed the classification from equity awards to liability awards. The resulting reduction in share-based compensation expense of $5.8 million was more than offset by incremental compensation expense of $21.3 million recognized in the second quarter of 2013, which represents the fair value of the awards settled in cash. As the modified awards were fully vested and paid out, no additional compensation expense will be recognized in subsequent periods.

The decrease in share-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was also driven by the impact of forfeitures and the accelerated vesting that was triggered in the prior year related to certain performance-based RSU awards.

The Company recognized $24.2 million , $12.5 million , and $26.5 million of tax benefits from stock options exercised in the year ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 respectively.

Stock Options

All stock options granted by the Company under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under its 2007 Equity Compensation Plan is not to be less than the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (or, for participants subject to U.S. taxation, on the single trading day immediately preceding the date of grant, whichever is greater). All stock options granted by the Company under the 2011 Plan expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2011 Plan will not be less than the closing price per common share on the national securities exchange on which the common shares are principally traded (currently, the NYSE) for the last preceding date on which there was a sale of such common shares on such exchange. Stock options granted will vest 25% on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries from the date of grant.

The fair values of all stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 were estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Share-based compensation expense $ 45,478 $ 66,236 $ 94,023

(1) On March 9, 2011, the Company’s compensation committee of the Board of Directors approved an equitable adjustment to all stock options outstanding as of that date for employees and directors as of such date, in connection with the post-Merger special dividend of $1.00 per common share declared on November 4, 2010 and paid on December 22, 2010. As the Company’s stock option awards do not automatically adjust for dividend payments, this adjustment was treated as a modification of the terms and conditions of the outstanding options. The incremental fair value of the modified awards was determined to be $15.4 million , of which $9.2 million related to vested options, which was expensed as of March 9, 2011 as follows: cost of goods sold ( $0.2 million ), selling, general and administrative expenses ( $8.8 million ) and research and development expenses ( $0.2 million ). The remaining $6.2 million is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period of the unvested options.

(2) During 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded an incremental charge of $4.3 million and $4.8 million , respectively, to selling, general and administrative expenses as some of the Company’s performance-based RSU grants triggered a partial payout as a result of achieving certain share price appreciation conditions.

____________________________________

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model used by the Company to calculate stock option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradeable, fully transferable stock options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company’s stock option awards. This model also requires highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time until exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2013 :

The weighted-average fair values of all stock options granted in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $30.47 , $19.57 and $13.65 , respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $30.4 million , $25.1 million and $31.7 million , respectively. Proceeds received on the exercise of stock options in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $10.0 million , $23.0 million and $41.7 million , respectively.

As of December 31, 2013 , the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options amounted to $61.8 million , which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 3.2 years. The total fair value of stock options vested in 2013 was $26.0 million ( 2012 — $36.1 million ; 2011 — $35.4 million ).

RSUs

RSUs vest on the third anniversary date from the date of grant, unless provided otherwise in the applicable unit agreement, subject to the attainment of any applicable performance goals specified by the Board of Directors. If the vesting of the RSUs is conditional upon the attainment of performance goals, any RSUs that do not vest as a result of a determination that a holder of RSUs has failed to attain the prescribed performance goals will be forfeited immediately upon such determination. RSUs are credited with dividend equivalents, in the form of additional RSUs, when dividends are paid on the Company’s common shares. Such additional RSUs will have the same vesting dates and will vest under the same terms as the RSUs in respect of which such additional RSUs are credited.

To the extent provided for in a RSU agreement, the Company may, in lieu of all or a portion of the common shares which would otherwise be provided to a holder, elect to pay a cash amount equivalent to the market price of the Company’s common shares on the vesting date for each vested RSU. The amount of cash payment will be determined based on the average market price of the Company’s common shares on the vesting date. The Company’s current intent is to settle vested RSUs through the issuance of common shares.

Time-Based RSUs

Each vested RSU without performance goals (“time-based RSU”) represents the right of a holder to receive one of the Company’s common shares. The fair value of each RSU granted is estimated based on the trading price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.

approximately 1.4 years. The total fair value of time-based RSUs vested in 2013 was $15.2 million ( 2012 — $18.0 million ; 2011 — $16.2 million ).

Performance-Based RSUs

Each vested RSU with performance goals (“performance-based RSU”) represents the right of a holder to receive a number of the Company’s common shares up to a specified maximum. For performance-based RSUs issued prior to the Merger, performance was measured based on shareholder return relative to an industry comparator group. For performance-based RSUs issued subsequent to the Merger, performance is determined based on the achievement of certain share price appreciation conditions. If the Company’s performance is below a specified performance level, no common shares will be paid.

The fair value of each performance-based RSU granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to estimate the probability that the performance condition will be achieved.

The fair values of performance-based RSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2013 , 2012 and 2011 were estimated with the following assumptions:

____________________________________

The following table summarizes non-vested performance-based RSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2013 :

As of December 31, 2013 , the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested performance-based RSUs amounted to $76.8 million , which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.7 years. A maximum of 2,832,187 common shares could be issued upon vesting of the performance-based RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2013 .

DSUs

The amount of compensation deferred was converted into DSUs based on the volume-weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (for directors subject to U.S. taxation, the calculation may be based on the greater of the five -day or one -day volume-weighted trading price). The Company recognizes compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares increases, and reduces compensation expense throughout the deferral period to the extent that the trading price of its common shares decreases.

who did not remain on the Board of Directors of the Company have been redeemed, entitling each departing director to a payment of the cash value of his DSUs.

Effective May 16, 2011 (the “Modification Date”), the Board of Directors of the Company modified the existing DSUs held by current directors from units settled in cash to units settled in common shares, which changed these DSUs from a liability award to an equity award. Accordingly, as of the Modification Date, the Company reclassified the $9.3 million aggregate fair value of the 182,053 DSUs held by current directors from accrued liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In the period from January 1, 2011 to the Modification Date, the Company recorded $3.6 million of compensation expense related to the change in the fair value of the DSUs held by current directors. As the modified DSUs were fully vested, no additional compensation expense will be recognized after the Modification Date. The DSUs held by former directors of Biovail were not affected by the modification and were to continue to be cash settled. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized $0.8 million of compensation expense in restructuring and integration costs related to the change in the fair value of DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail. As of December 31, 2012, there were 17,219 DSUs still held by former directors of Biovail. The remaining 17,219 DSUs were redeemed for cash in February 2013.

The following table summarizes DSU activity during the year ended December 31, 2013 :

____________________________________

Effective May 16, 2011, in lieu of grants of DSUs, unless the Company determines otherwise, non-management directors will receive their annual equity compensation retainer in the form of stock units, which will vest immediately upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company on the first anniversary of the date upon which the director ceases to be a director of the Company. In addition, a non-management director may elect to receive some or all of his or her cash retainers in additional units, which will be vested upon grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company when the director ceases to be a director of the Company (unless a different payment is elected in accordance with the procedures established by the Company).

Effective May 30, 2012, the Company changed the vesting and settlement features of stock units granted to non-management directors, such that, for all new stock units granted to non-management directors after such date, such stock units will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant and will be settled in common shares of the Company upon vesting. In addition, for stock units awarded to non-management directors prior to May 30, 2012 in connection with such directors’ annual equity compensation, the settlement date was changed and such stock units will now be settled in common shares of the Company.

The components of gain on investments, net for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

In March 2011, in connection with an offer to acquire Cephalon, Inc. (“Cephalon”), the Company had invested $60.0 million to acquire 1,034,908 shares of common stock of Cephalon, which represented 1.366% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Cephalon as of March 14, 2011. On May 2, 2011, Cephalon announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. and, consequently, the Company disposed of its entire equity investment in Cephalon for net proceeds of $81.3 million , which resulted in a net realized gain of $21.3 million recognized in earnings in the second quarter of 2011.

____________________________________

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient domestic and foreign taxable income in the years that the temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance has been provided for the portion of the deferred tax assets that the Company determined is more likely than not to remain unrealized based on estimated future taxable income and tax planning strategies. In 2013, the valuation allowance increased by $353.1 million . The net increase in valuation allowance resulted from an increase in valuation allowance associated with historic foreign tax credits generated by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries and acquired valuation allowance from B&L. In 2012, the valuation allowance decreased by $4.2 million . The net decrease in valuation allowance resulted from an increase in deferred tax liabilities arising from acquisitions and unrealized foreign exchange gains on intercompany loans, offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for Canadian tax loss carryforwards for the year ended December 31, 2012. Given the Company’s history of pre-tax losses and expected future losses in Canada, the Company determined there was insufficient objective evidence to release the remaining valuation allowance against Canadian tax loss carryforwards, International Tax Credits (“ITC”) and pooled Scientific Research and Experimental Development Tax Incentive (“SR&ED”) expenditures.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had accumulated losses of approximately $717.9 million (2012 - $397.5 million ) available for federal and provincial tax purposes in Canada. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $42.3 million (2012 - $44.9 million ) of unclaimed Canadian ITCs, which expire from 2017 to 2032. These losses and ITCs can be used to offset future years’ taxable income and federal tax, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, the Company had pooled SR&ED expenditures amounting to approximately $232.1 million (2012 - $255.6 million ) available to offset against future years’ taxable income from its Canadian operations, which may be carried forward indefinitely. As in past years, a full valuation allowance has been maintained against the net Canadian deferred tax assets of $253.6 million (2012 - $122.0 million ).

As of December 31, 2013, the Company has accumulated tax losses of approximately $1,955.1 million (2012 - $1,011.7 million ) for federal purposes in the U.S. which expire from 2021 to 2034. While the losses are subject to multiple annual loss limitations restrictions, the Company believes that the recoverability of the deferred tax assets associated with those losses is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $60.3 million (2012 - $21.3 million ) of U.S. research and development credits, which

had approximately $136.4 million in foreign tax credits recognized on tax returns which are not expected to be utilized before their expirations due to a lack of foreign source income and therefore a full valuation allowance has been maintained. The Company’s accumulated losses are subject to annual limitations as a result of previous ownership changes that have occurred. Included in the $1,955.1 million of tax losses is approximately $22.5 million of losses related to the exercise of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards.

The Company accrues for U.S. tax on the unremitted earnings of the foreign subsidiaries owned by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. In addition, the Company provides for the tax on the unremitted earnings of its direct foreign affiliates except for its direct U.S. subsidiaries. The Company continues to assert that the unremitted earnings of its U.S. subsidiaries will be permanently reinvested and not repatriated to Canada. As of December 31, 2013, the Company estimates there would be no Canadian tax liability attributable to the permanently reinvested U.S. earnings.

As of December 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits (including interest and penalties) was $247.5 million (2012 - $128.0 million ), of which $153.4 million (2012 - $88.8 million ) would affect the effective tax rate. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a $132.4 million (2012 - $29.1 million ) increase and a $12.8 million (2012 - $3.4 million ) net decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in the current and prior years, respectively.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2013, approximately $46.4 million (2012 - $24.3 million ) was accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. In the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized approximately $5.7 million (2012 - $1.3 million ) interest and penalties.

The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries file federal income tax returns in Canada, the U.S., and other foreign jurisdictions, as well as various provinces and states in Canada and the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries have open tax years primarily from 2005 to 2012 with significant taxing jurisdictions including Canada, and the U.S. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations, and tax treaties, as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenues and expenses, or the sustainability of income tax positions of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain of these tax years are expected to remain open indefinitely.

In 2012, Valeant and its subsidiaries closed the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audits through the 2010 tax year. Additionally, Valeant closed the examination by the Australian Tax Office for the 2010 tax year. Valeant remains under examination for various state tax audits in the U.S. for years 2002 to 2010. The Company is currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for years 2005 to 2006 and remains open to examination for years 2005 and later. In February 2013 the Company has received a proposed audit adjustment for the years 2005 through 2007. The Company disagrees with the adjustments and has filed a Notice of Objection. The total proposed adjustment will result in a loss of tax attributes which are subject to a full valuation allowance and will not result in material change to the provision for income taxes.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:

The Company estimates approximately $8.7 million of the above unrecognized tax benefits will be realized during the next 12 months.

Certain unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded as a reduction of deferred tax assets. In addition, certain unrecognized tax benefits are fully offset by tax attributes for which a full valuation allowance exists.

The Company effected an internal reorganization in December 2013 to streamline and integrate certain aspects of its operations. As part of this internal reorganization, the Company migrated certain of its intellectual property to Luxembourg. This is consistent with the evolution of the Company’s business and leverages the Company’s prior reorganization.

The Company effected an internal reorganization in July 2012 to streamline certain aspects of its operations. As part of this internal reorganization, the Company migrated certain of its intellectual property from Barbados to Bermuda and moved certain of its operational and managerial functions from Barbados to certain European jurisdictions (including Ireland). This is consistent with the evolution of the Company’s business and the Company expects that this internal reorganization will enable the Company to better leverage its existing and future resources on a worldwide basis and support the Company’s international expansion.

From time to time, the Company becomes involved in various legal and administrative proceedings, which include product liability, intellectual property, commercial, antitrust, governmental and regulatory investigations, and related private litigation. There are also ordinary course employment-related issues and other types of claims in which the Company routinely becomes involved, but which individually and collectively are not material.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, nor can it estimate the amount of loss, or range of loss, if any, that may result from these proceedings. An adverse outcome in certain of these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause the market value of its common shares to decline.

From time to time, the Company also initiates actions or files counterclaims. The Company could be subject to counterclaims or other suits in response to actions it may initiate. The Company cannot reasonably predict the outcome of these proceedings, some of which may involve significant legal fees. The Company believes that the prosecution of these actions and counterclaims is important to preserve and protect the Company, its reputation and its assets.

Governmental and Regulatory Inquiries

On May 16, 2008, Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BPI”), the Company’s former subsidiary, entered into a written plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office (“USAO”) for the District of Massachusetts whereby it agreed to plead guilty to violating the U.S. Anti-Kickback Statute and pay a fine of $22.2 million .

In addition, on May 16, 2008, the Company entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the USAO whereby the USAO agreed to decline prosecution of Biovail in exchange for continuing cooperation and a civil settlement agreement and pay a civil penalty of $2.4 million . A hearing before the U.S. District Court in Boston took place on September 14, 2009 and the plea was approved.

In addition, as part of the overall settlement, Biovail entered into a Corporate Integrity Agreement (“CIA”) with the Office of the Inspector General and the Department of Health and Human Services on September 11, 2009. The CIA requires the Company to have a compliance program in place and to undertake a set of defined corporate integrity obligations for a five -year term. The CIA also includes requirements for an annual independent review of these obligations. Failure to comply with the obligations under the CIA could result in financial penalties.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Medicis, several purported holders of then public shares of Medicis filed putative class action lawsuits in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Arizona Superior Court against Medicis and the members of its Board of Directors, as well as one or both of Valeant and Merlin Merger Sub (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Medicis Acquisition). The Delaware actions (which were instituted on September 11, 2012 and October 1, 2012, respectively) were consolidated for all purposes under the caption In re Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 7857-CS (Del. Ch.). The Arizona action (which was instituted on September 11, 2012) bears the caption Swint v. Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, et. al., Case No. CV2012-055635 (Ariz. Sup. Ct.). The actions all alleged, among other things, that the Medicis directors breached their fiduciary duties because they supposedly failed to properly value Medicis and caused materially misleading and incomplete information to be disseminated to Medicis’ public shareholders, and that Valeant and/or Merlin Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. The actions also sought, among other things, injunctive and other equitable relief, and money damages. On November 20, 2012, Medicis and the other named defendants in the Delaware action signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to settle the Delaware action and resolve all claims asserted by the purported class. The parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement on November 25, 2013. The settlement is subject to court approval. Defendants have provided notice of the settlement to members of the proposed class and the Delaware Court of Chancery scheduled a settlement hearing for February 26, 2014. In connection with the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs intend to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Delaware action. Plaintiffs’ request for attorneys’ fees and expenses will be considered by the Delaware Court of Chancery at the settlement hearing. The plaintiff in the Arizona action agreed to dismiss her complaint. On January 15, 2013, the Arizona Superior Court issued an order granting the parties' joint stipulation to dismiss the Arizona action.

Obagi Shareholder Class Actions

Prior to the acquisition of all of the outstanding common stock of Obagi, the following complaints were filed: (i) a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, dated March 22, 2013, and amended on April 1, 2013 and on April 8, 2013, captioned Michael Rubin v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al.; (ii) a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, dated March 22, 2013, and amended on March 27, 2013, captioned Gary Haas v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al.; and (iii) a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, dated March 27, 2013, captioned Drew Leonard v. Obagi Medical Products, Inc., et al. Each complaint is a purported shareholder class action and names as defendants Obagi and the members of the Obagi Board of Directors. The two complaints filed in California also name Valeant and Odysseus Acquisition Corp. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Obagi acquisition) as defendants. The plaintiffs’ allegations in each action are substantially similar. The plaintiffs allege that the members of the Obagi Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Obagi’s stockholders in connection with the sale of the company, and the California complaints further allege that Obagi, Valeant and Odysseus Acquisition Corp. aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duties. In support of their purported claims, the plaintiffs allege that the proposed transaction undervalued Obagi, involved an inadequate sales process and included preclusive deal protection devices. The plaintiffs in the Rubin case in Delaware and in the Haas case in California also filed amended complaints, which added allegations challenging the adequacy of the disclosures concerning the transaction. The plaintiffs sought damages and to enjoin the transaction, and also sought attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. On April 12, 2013, the defendants entered into an MOU with the plaintiffs in the actions pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the Superior Court of the State of California, pursuant to which Obagi and such parties agreed in principle, and subject to certain conditions, to settle those stockholder lawsuits. not to exceed a specified sum. After receiving notice that the parties had reached an agreement to settle the litigation, the Superior Court of the State of California scheduled a “Hearing on Order to Show Cause Re Dismissal”. On January 29, 2014, the court continued that hearing until May 1, 2014, pending completion of definitive documentation and approval proceedings in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. On February 6, 2014, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware issued an Order for Notice and Scheduling of Hearing on Settlement, preliminarily certifying the Rubin case as a non-opt out class action for settlement purposes, directing notice of the proposed settlement to members of the class, and setting a hearing to consider final approval of the settlement for April 30, 2014. In connection with the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs intend to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed a specified sum. Such amount will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the proposed settlement is not approved or the applicable conditions are not satisfied, the defendants will continue to vigorously defend these actions.

Solta Shareholder Class Actions

Prior to the Company’s completion of the acquisition of Solta, several purported holders of then public shares of Solta filed putative class action lawsuits in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, against Solta and the members of its board of directors, as well as the Company, Valeant, and Sapphire Subsidiary

Corp. (the wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant formed in connection with the Solta acquisition). The Delaware actions were consolidated for all purposes under the caption In re Solta Medical, Inc. Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 9170-CS (Del. Ch.). The California actions were filed under the captions Lathrop v. Covert, et al., Case No. HG13-707363 (Cal. Super.); Walter, et al. v. Solta Medical, Inc., et al., Case No. RG13-707659 (Cal. Super.); and Bushansky v. Solta Medical, Inc., et al., Case No. RG13-707997 (Cal. Super.). The plaintiffs’allegations in each action were substantially similar. The actions all alleged, among other things, that the directors of Solta breached their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Solta in connection with the Company's proposed acquisition of Solta. In support of their purported claims, the plaintiffs alleged that the proposed transaction did not appropriately value Solta, was the result of an inadequate process and included preclusive deal protection devices. The plaintiffs also alleged that the Schedule 14D-9 filed by Solta on December 23, 2013, in connection with the proposed transaction contained material omissions and misstatements. The complaints claimed that Solta, the Company, Valeant, and Sapphire Subsidiary Corp. aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The actions sought, among other things, injunctive and other equitable relief, and money damages. The plaintiffs also sought attorneys’ and expert fees and costs. While the defendants believed that each of the aforementioned lawsuits were without merit and that they had valid defenses to all claims, in an effort to minimize the cost and expense of any litigation relating to the lawsuits, on January 11, 2014, following arms-length negotiations, Solta and the other named defendants signed a memorandum of understanding to settle the actions and resolve all claims asserted by the purported stockholder classes. The settlement, which is subject to court approval and further definitive documentation, provides for a release and settlement by Solta’s stockholders of all claims against Solta and the other defendants and their respective affiliates and agents in connection with the Company's acquisition of Solta. In connection with the proposed settlement, the plaintiffs intend to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in an amount to be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Wellbutrin XL® Antitrust Class Actions

On April 4, 2008, a direct purchaser plaintiff filed a class action antitrust complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts against Biovail, its subsidiary Biovail Laboratories International SRL (“BLS”) (now Valeant International Bermuda), GlaxoSmithKline plc, and SmithKline Beecham Inc. (the latter two of which are referred to here as “GSK”) seeking damages and alleging that Biovail, BLS and GSK took actions to improperly delay FDA approval for generic forms of Wellbutrin XL®. In late May and early June 2008, additional direct and indirect purchaser class actions were also filed against Biovail, BLS and GSK in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, all making similar allegations. After motion practice, the complaints were consolidated, resulting in a lead direct purchaser and a lead indirect purchaser action, and the Court ultimately denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated complaints.

The Court granted direct purchasers’ motion for class certification, and certified a class consisting of all persons or entities in the United States and its territories who purchased Wellbutrin XL® directly from any of the defendants at any time during the period of November 14, 2005 through August 31, 2009. Excluded from the class are defendants and their officers, directors, management, employees, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and federal government entities. Further excluded from the class are persons or entities who have not purchased generic versions of Wellbutrin XL® during the class period after the introduction of generic versions of Wellbutrin XL®. The Court granted in part and denied in part the indirect purchaser plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.

After extensive discovery, briefing and oral argument, the Court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment on all but one of the plaintiffs’ claims, and deferred ruling on the remaining claim. Following the summary judgment decision, the Company entered into binding settlement arrangements with both plaintiffs’ classes to resolve all existing claims against the Company. The total settlement amount payable was $49.25 million . In addition, the Company agreed to pay up to $500,000 toward settlement notice costs. These charges were recognized in the second quarter of 2012 within Other expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income, the majority of which was paid in 2012 with the remainder paid in 2013. The settlements required Court approval. The direct purchaser class filed its motion for preliminary approval of its settlement on July 23, 2012. The hearing on final approval of that settlement took place on November 7, 2012, with the Court granting final approval to the settlement on that day. The hearing on final approval of the settlement with the indirect purchasers took place in June 2013, with the Court granting final approval to the settlement on July 22, 2013.

Solodyn® Antitrust Class Actions

On July 22, 2013, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776 & Participating Employers Health and Welfare Fund, filed a civil antitrust class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 2:13-CV-04235-JCJ, against Medicis, the Company and various manufacturers of generic forms of Solodyn®, alleging

that the defendants engaged in an anticompetitive scheme to exclude competition from the market for minocycline hydrochloride extended release tablets, a prescription drug for the treatment of acne marketed by Medicis under the brand name, Solodyn®. The plaintiff further alleges that the defendants orchestrated a scheme to improperly restrain trade, and maintain, extend and abuse Medicis' alleged monopoly power in the market for minocycline hydrochloride extended release tablets to the detriment of plaintiff and the putative class of end-payor purchasers it seeks to represent, causing them to pay overcharges. Plaintiff alleges violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2, and of various state antitrust and consumer protection laws, and further alleges that defendants have been unjustly enriched through their alleged conduct. Plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and, where applicable, treble, multiple, punitive and/or other damages, including attorneys' fees. Additional class action complaints making similar allegations against all defendants, including Medicis and the Company have been filed in various courts by other private plaintiffs purporting to represent certain classes of similarly-situated direct or end-payor purchasers of Solodyn® ( Rochester Drug Co-Operative, Inc. , Case No. 2:13-CV-04270-JCJ (E.D.

On August 29, 2013, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund voluntarily dismissed the class action complaint it had originally filed on August 1, 2013, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and on August 30, 2013, re-filed its class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Case No. 2:13-cv-05108). The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132 Health and Welfare Fund complaint makes similar allegations against all defendants, including Medicis and the Company, and seeks similar relief, to the other end-payor plaintiff complaints. On October 11, 2013, Medicis and the Company filed a motion with the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") seeking an order transferring and consolidating the thirteen putative class action cases for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The motion has been fully briefed and oral arguments before the JPML were heard on February 6, 2014. On February 25, 2014, the JPML ordered that the cases pending outside the District of Massachusetts be transferred to the District of Massachusetts, with the consent of that court, for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings with the actions already pending in that district. We are in the process of evaluating the claims and plan to vigorously defend these actions.

Watson APLENZIN® Litigation

On or about January 5, 2010, the Company's subsidiary, Valeant International (Barbados) SRL (now Valeant International Bermuda) ("VIB"), received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated January 4, 2010 from Watson Laboratories, Inc.-Florida (“Watson”), related to Watson’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filing for bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets, 174 mg and 348 mg, which correspond to the Company’s Aplenzin® Extended-release Tablets 174 mg and 348 mg products. Watson asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 7,241,805, 7,569,610, 7,572,935 and 7,585,897 which are listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for Aplenzin® are invalid or not infringed. VIB subsequently received from Watson a second Notice of Paragraph IV Certification for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,645,802 and 7,649,019, which were listed in the FDA’s Orange Book after Watson’s initial certification. Watson alleged these patents are invalid or not infringed. VIB filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Watson on February 18, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and on February 19, 2010, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, thereby triggering a 30 -month stay of the approval of Watson’s ANDA. The Delaware action dismissed without prejudice and the litigation proceeded in the Florida Court. VIB received a third Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson dated March 5, 2010, seeking to market its products prior to the expiration of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,662,407 and 7,671,094. VIB received a fourth Notice of Paragraph IV Certification from Watson on April 9, 2010. VIB filed a second Complaint against Watson in Florida Court on the third and fourth Notices on April 16, 2010. The two actions were consolidated into the first-filed case before the same judge. In the course of discovery, the issues were narrowed and only five of the patents remained in the litigation. Mandatory mediation was completed unsuccessfully on December 17, 2010. The trial in this matter was held in June 2011 and closing arguments were heard in September 2011. A judgment in this matter was issued on November 8, 2011. The Court found that Watson had failed to prove that VIB’ s patents at suit were invalid and granted judgment in favor of VIB. On February 23, 2012, the Court

granted VIB’s request for declaratory injunctive relief under 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(4)(A). On July 9, 2012, the Court denied VIB’s request for further injunctive relief under 35 U.S.C. 271(e)(4)(B) and/or 35 U.S.C. 283. Watson appealed the judgment. Oral arguments on the appeal were held on October 10, 2013. On October 16, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the decision of the District Court that Watson failed to prove that VIB’s patents were invalid.

Cobalt TIAZAC® XC Litigation

On or about August 17, 2012, VIB and Valeant Canada received a Notice of Allegation from Cobalt Pharmaceuticals Company (“Cobalt”) with respect to diltiazem hydrochloride 180 mg, 240 mg, 300 mg and 360 mg tablets, marketed in Canada by Valeant Canada as TIAZAC® XC. The patents in issue are Canadian Patent Nos. 2,242,224, and 2,307,547. Cobalt alleged that its generic form of TIAZAC® XC does not infringe the patents and, alternatively, that the patents are invalid. Following an evaluation of the allegations in the Notice of Allegation, an application for an order prohibiting the Minister of Health from issuing a Notice of Compliance to Cobalt was issued in the Federal Court of Canada on September 28, 2012 (Case No. T-1805-12). A motion to declare Cobalt’s Notice of Allegation to be null and void due to a conflict of interest on the part of Cobalt’s legal counsel was heard by a judge of the Federal Court on December 17, 2012. A decision was issued on June 12, 2013 dismissing the motion in part. In particular, VIB and Valeant were successful on their motion to disqualify Cobalt’s counsel; however, a declaration that Cobalt’s Notice of Allegation is null and void was not granted. Both parties appealed the decision (Case No. A-221-13) and the appeal and cross-appeal were heard on November 13, 2013 and, in a decision rendered on February 24, 2014, the Court of Appeal dismissed both the appeal and the cross-appeal. Cobalt brought a motion to dismiss the application in respect of Canadian Patent No. 2,242,224, but the motion was dismissed. Cobalt has filed an appeal (Case No. A-434-13), but no hearing date has been set. Cobalt also brought a motion to dismiss the application in respect of Canadian Patent No. 2,307,547. That motion is expected to be heard in June 2014, with the main application. Otherwise, the application is proceeding in the ordinary course. Cross-examinations are ongoing. A hearing in this matter is expected to take place in June 2014.

Banner TARGRETIN® Litigation

On or about August 26, 2011, Eisai received a Notice of Paragraph IV Certification dated August 25, 2011 from Banner Pharmacaps Inc. (“Banner”), related to Banner’s ANDA filing with the FDA for bexarotene capsules, 75 mg, which correspond to the Targretin® capsules. In the notice, Banner asserted that U.S. Patent Nos. 5,780,676 C1 (the “'676 Patent”) and 5,962,731 (the “'731 Patent”), which are listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for Targretin®, are either invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Banner’s manufacture, use, sale or offer to sell of Banner’s generic product for which the ANDA was submitted. At that time, Eisai held the U.S. rights to the Targretin® product, including the '676 patent and the '731 patent and the NDA for the Targretin® product. Eisai filed suit pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act against Banner on October 4, 2011, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 1:11-cv-901(GMS)), thereby triggering a 30 -month stay of the approval of Banner’s ANDA. In the suit, Eisai alleged infringement by Banner of one or more claims of the '676 Patent and the '731 Patent. On December 18, 2012, Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) was added as a defendant in the proceedings after Eisai was informed that Mylan had acquired certain rights in the ANDA. On February 20, 2013, the Company acquired from Eisai the U.S. rights to the Targretin® product, including the '676 patent and the '731 patent and the NDA for the Targretin® product, which were, in turn, transferred to the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Valeant Pharmaceuticals Luxembourg S.a.r.l. (“Valeant Luxembourg”). On April 24, 2013, the parties entered into a stipulation to add Valeant Luxembourg as a plaintiff in the proceedings. Fact discovery closed in June 2013. Document production with respect to Eisai was completed on April 11, 2013. Expert discovery, which began in July 2013, has been completed. On December 13, 2013, the parties executed a settlement agreement in this matter. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the pending litigation was dismissed, and Mylan and Banner will receive a license to begin selling their generic version of the product on July 9, 2015, or earlier under certain circumstances.

AntiGrippin® Litigation

Two suits have been brought against the Company's subsidiary, Natur Produkt, seeking lost profits in connection with the registration by Natur Produkt of its AntiGrippin trademark. The plaintiffs in these matters allege that Natur Produkt violated Russian competition law by preventing plaintiffs from producing and marketing their products under certain brand names. The first matter (Case No. A-56-23056/2013, Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg) was accepted for proceedings on June 24, 2013 and a hearing was held on November 28, 2013. In a decision dated December 4, 2013, the court found in favor of the plaintiff (AnviLab) and awarded the plaintiff lost profits in the amount of approximately $50 million . The $50 million charge was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013 in Other expense in the consolidated statements of (loss) income. Natur Produkt has appealed this decision. A hearing in the appeal proceeding is scheduled for March 16, 2014.

(“Watson”), related to Watson’s ANDA filing with the FDA for Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 1.2%/2.5%, for topical use, which corresponds to the Company’s Acanya® Gel product.

(“Perrigo”), related to Perrigo’s ANDA filing with the FDA for Clindamycin Phosphate and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, 1.2%/2.5%, which corresponds to the Company’s Acanya® Gel product. In the notice, Perrigo asserted that U.S. Patent No. 8,288,434 (the “'434 Patent”), which is listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for Acanya® Gel, is either invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by the commercial manufacture, use, sale or importation of Perrigo’s generic product for which the ANDA was submitted.

General Civil Actions

AWP Complaints

Complaints have been filed by the City of New York, the State of Alabama, the State of Mississippi, the State of Louisiana and a number of counties within the State of New York, claiming that BPI, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, made fraudulent misstatements concerning the “average wholesale price” (“AWP”) of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the plaintiffs for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies.

The City of New York and plaintiffs for all the counties in New York (other than Erie, Oswego and Schenectady) voluntarily dismissed BPI and certain others of the named defendants on a without prejudice basis. Similarly, the State of Mississippi voluntarily dismissed its claim against BPI and a number of defendants on a without prejudice basis.

In the case brought by the State of Alabama, the Company answered the State’s Amended Complaint. On October 16, 2009, the Supreme Court of Alabama issued an opinion reversing judgments in favor of the State in the first three cases that were tried against co-defendant companies. The Alabama Supreme Court also rendered judgment in favor of those defendants, finding that the State’s fraud-based theories failed as a matter of law. The court ordered all parties to this proceeding to attend mediation in December 2011. In February 2012, the matter settled for an all-inclusive payment in the amount of less than $0.1 million .

A Third Amending Petition for Damages and Jury Demand was filed on November 10, 2010 in Louisiana State Court by the State of Louisiana claiming that a former subsidiary of the Company, and numerous other pharmaceutical companies, knowingly inflated the AWP and “wholesale acquisition cost” of their prescription drugs, resulting in alleged overpayments by the State for pharmaceutical products sold by the companies. The State has subsequently filed additional amendments to its Petition, none of which materially affect the claims against the Company. In August 2013, the parties agreed to settle this matter for an all-inclusive payment in the amount of less than $0.3 million .

Afexa Class Action

On March 9, 2012, a Notice of Civil Claim was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia which seeks an order certifying a proposed class proceeding against the Company and a predecessor, Afexa (Case No. NEW-S-S-140954). The proposed claim asserts that Afexa and the Company made false representations respecting Cold-FX® to residents of British Columbia who purchased the product during the applicable period and that the proposed class has suffered damages as a result. The Company filed its certification materials on February 6, 2013 and a hearing on certification was held on September 3 to 6, 2013. An additional hearing day was scheduled for January 16, 2014. On November 8, 2013, the Plaintiff served an amended notice of civil claim which seeks to re-characterize the representation claims and broaden them from what was originally claimed. As a result, the hearing date scheduled for January 16, 2014 was cancelled and the parties are making submissions to address the impact of the amendments. Following the court’s determination, a revised certification hearing schedule will be set. The Company denies the allegations being made and is vigorously defending this matter.

Anacor Breach of Contract Proceeding

On or about October 29, 2012, the Company received notice from Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Anacor”) seeking to commence arbitration of a breach of contract dispute under a master services agreement dated March 26, 2004 between Anacor and Dow Pharmaceuticals (“Dow”) related to certain development services provided by Dow in connection with Anacor’s efforts to develop its onychomycosis nail-penetrating anti-fungal product. Anacor has asserted claims for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional interference with prospective business advantage and unfair competition. Anacor is seeking injunctive relief (for a certain period ending after the approval of the Company's pending new drug application for efinaconazole, its topical product candidate for the treatment of onychomycosis) and damages of at least $215.0 million . Following a hearing in July 2013 on a motion brought by the Company, the Arbitrator dismissed Anacor's claim for breach of fiduciary duty. Prior to the hearing on that motion, Anacor voluntarily agreed to dismiss its claims for conversion and interference with prospective business advantage.

A motion for a preliminary injunction was filed and a hearing for such motion had been set to begin on May 6, 2013. However, as announced on May 2, 2013, the Company agreed that the launch of efinaconazole, would not occur until after the September 2013

On October 17, 2013, the arbitrator issued an interim final award providing for the Company to make a one-time payment of $100.0 million in damages plus costs and fees to Anacor. Subsequently, on October 27, 2013, the Company and Anacor entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all outstanding disputes between them, including this arbitration with Dow and the arbitration and litigation with Medicis disclosed below. As part of the settlement agreement, Anacor and the Company agreed that the Company would pay Anacor a one-time payment of $142.5 million to settle all existing and future claims related to Anacor's intellectual property, confidential information and contractual rights. The $142.5 million charge was recognized in the third quarter of 2013 in Other expense in the consolidated statements of (loss)/income. The Company made such payment to Anacor in the fourth quarter of 2013 and, as a result, the arbitration has been withdrawn and the interim final award ordered by the arbitrator has been vacated. Nothing in the settlement agreement prevents the launch of efinaconazole (Jublia®).

Legacy Medicis Litigation

Anacor Arbitration and Litigation

On November 28, 2012, Anacor filed a claim for arbitration, alleging that Medicis had breached the research and development agreement between the parties relating to the discovery and development of boron-based small molecule compounds directed against a target for the potential treatment of acne (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Anacor is responsible for discovering and conducting the early development of product candidates which utilize Anacor’s proprietary boron chemistry platform, and Medicis will have an option to obtain an exclusive license for products covered by the Agreement. Anacor alleges in its claim that it is entitled to a milestone payment from Medicis due to its identification and development of a suitable compound to be advanced in the research collaboration. Medicis believed Anacor failed to meet the milestone requirements and, on May 18, 2012, provided notice to Anacor that Anacor has breached the Agreement. On December 11, 2012, Medicis filed a suit against Anacor in the Delaware Chancery Court (Case No. 8095-VCP) seeking declaratory and equitable relief, including specific performance under the Agreement, as well as a motion for preliminary injunction of the arbitration proceedings. Anacor filed a motion to dismiss this matter and a hearing was held on the motion on April 24, 2013. The Chancery Court rejected Anacor’s motion on August 12, 2013. As indicated above (under “- General Civil Actions - Anacor Breach of Contract Proceeding”), on October 27, 2013, the Company and Anacor entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all outstanding disputes between them, including these proceedings with Medicis. As further described above, as part of the settlement agreement, Anacor and the Company agreed to settle all existing and future claims related to Anacor's intellectual property, confidential information and contractual rights in exchange for a one-time payment by the Company to Anacor. The Company made such payment to Anacor and, as a result, the arbitration and litigation between Medicis and Anacor has been withdrawn.

Alkem Laboratories Limited Paragraph IV Patent Certification for Generic Versions of SOLODYN®

On October 29, 2012, Medicis received a Notice of Paragraph IV Patent Certification from Alkem Laboratories Limited (“Alkem”) advising that Alkem had filed an ANDA with the FDA for generic versions of SOLODYN® (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets in 45mg, 65mg, 90mg, 115mg and 135mg strengths. Alkem’s Paragraph IV Patent Certification alleges that Medicis’ U.S. Patent Nos. 5,908,838, 7,541,347, 7,544,373, 7,790,705, 7,919,483, 8,252,776 and 8,268,804 are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Alkem’s manufacture, use or sale of the products for which the ANDA was submitted. On December 5, 2012, Medicis filed suit against Alkem in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Case No. 12-1663(LPS)). On December 7, 2012, Medicis filed suit against Alkem in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The suits seek an adjudication that Alkem has infringed one or more claims of Medicis’ U.S. Patent Nos. 5,908,838, 7,790,705 and 8,268,804 (the “Patents”) by submitting to the FDA an ANDA for generic versions of SOLODYN® (minocycline HCl, USP) Extended Release Tablets in 45mg, 65mg, 90mg, 115mg and 135mg strengths. The relief requested includes requests for a permanent injunction preventing Alkem from infringing the asserted claims of the Patents by engaging in the manufacture, use, offer to sell, sale, importation or distribution of generic versions of SOLODYN before the expiration of the Patents. On November 7, 2013, Medicis and Alkem entered into a settlement agreement in this matter. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Alkem received a royalty-bearing license under the Patents from Medicis on entry dates terms that are consistent with those previously provided to generics.

Civil Investigative Demand from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission

On May 2, 2012, Medicis received a civil investigative demand from the FTC requiring that Medicis provide to the FTC information and documents relating to various settlement and other agreements with makers of generic SOLODYN® products following patent infringement claims and litigation, each of which was previously filed with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, and other efforts principally relating to SOLODYN®. On June 7, 2013, Medicis received an

additional civil investigative demand relating to such settlements, agreements and efforts. Medicis is cooperating with this investigative process. If, at the conclusion of this process, the FTC believes that any of the agreements or efforts violates antitrust laws, it could challenge Medicis through a civil administrative or judicial proceeding. If the FTC ultimately challenges the agreements, we would expect to vigorously defend in any such action.

Employment Matter

In September, 2011, Medicis received a demand letter from counsel purporting to represent a class of female sales employees alleging gender discrimination in, among others things, compensation and promotion as well as claims that the former management group maintained a work environment that was hostile and offensive to female sales employees. Related charges of discrimination were filed prior to the end of 2011 by six former female sales employees with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the “EEOC”). Three of those charges have been dismissed by the EEOC and the EEOC has made no findings of discrimination. Medicis engaged in mediation with such former employees. On March 19, 2013, Medicis and counsel for the former employees signed an MOU to settle this matter on a class-wide basis and resolve all claims with respect thereto. In connection with the agreed-upon settlement, Medicis would pay a specified sum and would pay the costs of the claims administration up to an agreed-upon fixed amount. Medicis would also implement certain specified programmatic relief. The parties have signed a definitive settlement agreement in this matter. On September 5, 2013, a putative class action was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the matter of Brown et al. v. Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation (No. 1:13-cv-01345-RJL) based on the allegations described above. Simultaneously with the filing of the Complaint, the parties filed a motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement. Among other things, the settlement agreement, if approved, will resolve all of the remaining related EEOC charges. No hearing on the motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement has been set.

Legacy B&L Litigation

MoistureLoc ™ Product Liability Lawsuits

Currently, B&L has been served or is aware that it has been named as a defendant in approximately 324 currently active product liability lawsuits (some with multiple plaintiffs) pending in a New York State Consolidated Proceeding described below as well as certain other U.S. state courts on behalf of individuals who claim they suffered personal injury as a result of using a contact lens solution with MoistureLoc™. Two consolidated cases were established to handle MoistureLoc™ claims. First, on August 14, 2006, the Federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created a coordinated proceeding in the Federal District Court for the District of South Carolina. Second, on January 2, 2007, the New York State Litigation Coordinating Panel ordered the consolidation of cases filed in New York State, and assigned the coordination responsibilities to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. There are approximately 320 currently active non-fusarium cases pending in the New York Consolidated Proceeding. On July 15, 2009, the New York State Supreme Court overseeing the New York Consolidated Proceeding granted B&L’s motion to exclude plaintiffs’ general causation testimony with regard to non-fusarium infections, which effectively excluded plaintiffs from testifying that MoistureLoc™ caused non-fusarium infections. On September 15, 2011, the New York State Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the Trial Court’s ruling. On February 7, 2012, the New York Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs’ additional appeal. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to renew the trial court’s ruling, and B&L cross-filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss all remaining claims. On May 31, 2013, the Trial Court denied Plaintiffs’motion to renew, and granted B&L’s motion for summary judgment, dismissing all remaining non-fusarium claims. On June 28, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal to the Trial Court’s ruling. A scheduling order for briefs and oral argument has not been issued by the court yet.

All matters under jurisdiction of the coordinated proceedings in the Federal District Court for the District of South Carolina have been dismissed, including individual actions for personal injury and a class action purporting to represent a class of consumers who suffered economic claims as a result of purchasing a contact lens solution with MoistureLoc™.

Currently B&L has settled approximately 629 cases in connection with MoistureLoc™ product liability suits. All but one U.S. based fusarium claims have now been resolved and there are less than five active fusarium claims involving claimants outside of the United States that remain pending. The parties in these active matters are involved in settlement discussions.

Subpoenas from the New York Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

On June 29, 2011, B&L received a subpoena from the New York Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding payments and communications between B&L and medical professionals related to its pharmaceutical products Lotemax® and Besivance®. The government has indicated that the subpoena was issued in connection with a civil investigation, and B&L is cooperating fully with the government’s investigation. B&L has heard of no additional

activity at this time, and whether the government’s investigation is ongoing or will result in further requests for information is unknown. B&L and the Company will continue to work with the Office of Inspector General regarding the scope of the subpoena and any additional specific information that may be requested.

Lease Commitments

The Company leases certain facilities, vehicles and equipment principally under operating leases. Rental expense related to operating lease agreements amounted to $51.9 million , $22.9 million and $18.1 million in 2013 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively. The increase in rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was driven primarily by new acquisitions during the year, including the B&L Acquisition.

Minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases for each of the five succeeding years ending December 31 and thereafter are as follows:

Other Commitments

The Company has commitments related to capital expenditures of approximately $53.0 million as of December 31, 2013 , primarily related to new manufacturing lines to support the growth of the contact lens business.

Under certain research and development agreements, the Company may be required to make payments contingent upon the achievement of specific developmental, regulatory, or commercial milestones. The Company may make contingent consideration payments of up to $200 million related to Valeant’s acquisition of Aton. However, these potential payments are based on further progression of the A007 (Lacrisert®) development program which was terminated during 2013. The Company could also pay contingent consideration related to business combinations of up to $74.0 million , $60.0 million , $59.9 million and $40.0 million related to acquisitions of OraPharma, Eisai, iNova and University Medical, respectively. Each of these arrangements is further described in note 3. In addition, as of December 31, 2013, the Company may pay potential milestone payments of up to $1,159.6 million, in the aggregate, to third-parties, primarily due to certain development, collaboration and license agreements as further described in note 5 titled “COLLABORATION AGREEMENTS”.

Indemnification Provisions

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnification provisions for product liability and other matters. These provisions are generally subject to maximum amounts, specified claim periods, and other conditions and limits. As of December 31, 2013 or 2012 , no material amounts were accrued for the Company’s obligations under these indemnification provisions. In addition, the Company is obligated to indemnify its officers and directors in respect of any legal claims or actions initiated against them in their capacity as officers and directors of the Company in accordance with applicable law. Pursuant to such indemnities, the Company is indemnifying certain former officers and directors in respect of certain litigation and regulatory matters.

Reportable Segments

As a result of the Company’s acquisition strategy and continued growth, impacted by the December 2012 Medicis Acquisition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), began to manage the business differently in 2013, which necessitated a realignment of the segment structure, effective in the first quarter of 2013. Pursuant to this change, the Company now has two operating and reportable segments: (i) Developed Markets, and (ii) Emerging Markets. Accordingly, the Company has restated prior period segment information to conform to the current period presentation. The following is a brief description of the Company’s segments:

diseases, as well as alliance revenue from the licensing of various products we developed or acquired, and (iii) pharmaceutical products, OTC products, and medical device products sold in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and Japan.

Segment profit is based on operating income after the elimination of intercompany transactions. Certain costs, such as restructuring and acquisition-related costs and other expense and in-process research and development impairments and other charges, are not included in the measure of segment profit, as management excludes these items in assessing financial performance.

Corporate includes the finance, treasury, tax and legal operations of the Company’s businesses and maintains and/or incurs certain assets, liabilities, expenses, gains and losses related to the overall management of the Company, which are not allocated to the other business segments. In addition, share-based compensation is considered a corporate cost, since the amount of such expense depends on Company-wide performance rather than the operating performance of any single segment.

F- 94

• Emerging Markets consists of branded generic pharmaceutical products and branded pharmaceuticals, OTC products, and medical device products. Products are sold primarily in Central and Eastern Europe (primarily Poland and Russia), Asia, Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina and exports out of Mexico to other Latin American markets), Africa and the Middle East.

Subsequent Events

Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility Repricing and Additional Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Borrowings

On February 6, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement to reprice and refinance the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility by the issuance of $2.95 billion in new incremental term loans (the “Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). Term loans under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility were either exchanged for, or repaid with the proceeds of, the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility and proceeds of the additional Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility issuance described below. The applicable margins for borrowings under the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility are 2.0% with respect to base rate borrowings and 3.0% with respect to LIBO rate borrowings, subject to a 1.75% base rate floor and a 0.75% LIBO rate floor. The Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility has terms consistent with the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility. Any prepayment of the Series E-1 Tranche B Term Loan Facility in connection with certain repricings or refinancings on or prior to August 6, 2014 will require a prepayment premium of 1.0% of such loans prepaid.

Concurrently, on February 6, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a joinder agreement for the issuance of $225.6 million in incremental term loans under the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility. Proceeds from this transaction were used to repay part of the term loans outstanding under the Series E Tranche B Term Loan Facility.

In addition, on February 6, 2014, in connection with Amendment No.8 an additional $1.5 million of the Series A-1 Tranche A Term Loan Facility was exchanged and/or converted into the Series A-3 Tranche A Term Loan Facility.

Solta Medical, Inc.

On January 23, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Solta Medical, Inc. (“Solta Medical”) for $2.92 per share in cash, or approximately $250 million , in the aggregate. All outstanding shares of common stock of Solta Medical, other than (i) shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or Valeant or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or Valeant immediately prior to the effective time of the merger or held by Solta Medical (other than on behalf of third parties) or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Solta Medical immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, all of which was cancelled and ceased to exist and (ii) shares that were held by stockholders of Solta Medical who properly exercised their appraisal rights under Delaware law, were canceled and converted into the right to receive cash equal to the $2.92 price per share, without interest (less any applicable withholding taxes). As a result of the completion of the merger, Solta Medical has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeant.

Solta Medical designs, develops, manufactures, and markets energy-based medical device systems for aesthetic applications. Solta Medical’s products include the Thermage CPT system that provides non-invasive treatment options using radiofrequency energy for skin tightening, the Fraxel repair system for use in dermatological procedures requiring ablation, coagulation, and resurfacing of soft tissue, the Clear + Brilliant® system to improve skin texture and help prevent the signs of aging skin, and the Liposonix® system that destroys unwanted fat cells resulting in waist circumference reduction.

Page 323: 10-K filed

The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the respective acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the closing of the acquisition, the valuation efforts and related acquisition accounting are incomplete at the time of filing of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continu ed) (All tabular dollar amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data)

of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired, including goodwill. In addition, because the acquisition accounting is incomplete, the Company is unable to provide the supplemental pro forma revenue and earnings for the combined entity, as the pro forma adjustments are expected to primarily consist of estimates for the amortization of identifiable intangible assets acquired and related income tax effects, which will result from the purchase price allocation and determination of the fair values for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Pending Transactions

PreCision Dermatology, Inc.

On January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire PreCision Dermatology, Inc. (“PreCision”) for $475 million in cash, plus an additional $25 million payable upon the achievement of a sales-based milestone. PreCision develops and markets a wide range of medical dermatology products, treating a number of topical disease states such as acne and atopic dermatitis with products such as Locoid®, Hylatopic®, Clindagel®, and BenzEFoam®. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2014.

Sale of Metronidazole 1.3%

On April 30, 2013, the Company agreed to sell the worldwide rights in its Metronidazole 1.3% Vaginal Gel antibiotic development product, a topical antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, to Actavis Specialty Brands for approximately $55 million , which includes upfront and certain milestone payments, and minimum royalties for the first three years of commercialization. In addition, royalties are payable to the Company beyond the initial 3 -year commercialization period. In the event of generic competition on Metronidazole 1.3%, should Actavis Specialty Brands choose to launch an authorized generic product, Actavis Specialty Brands would share the gross profits of the authorized generic with the Company. The rights to Metronidazole 1.3% are expected to be transferred to Actavis Specialty Brands at or shortly following the time of FDA approval of the product NDA, when and if obtained. The Company acquired Metronidazole 1.3% as part of the acquisition of Medicis in December 2012, and the carrying amount of the related IPR&D asset is $66.6 million as of December 31, 2013. Upon consummation of the transaction, the Company will recognize a loss within Other expense in the consolidated statement of (loss) income, as the Company will not recognize income from the contingent payments until such amounts are realizable.

benefits to which you may be entitled under any applicable disability plan of the Company. For purposes of this letter, “Disability” shall have the meaning assigned to such term the Plan.

(A) any material reduction in your duties or responsibilities as in effect as of the date hereof, (B) removal of you from the positions of Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer, or Head of Corporate and Business Development of the Company (and, following a Change in Control, removal from any of these positions of the ultimate parent company of the resulting entity), (C) your ceasing to be the most senior legal officer of the Company (and, following a Change in Control, ceasing to be the most senior legal officer of the ultimate parent company of the resulting entity), or (D) your ceasing to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (and, following a Change in Control, ceasing to report directly to the Chief Executive Officer of the ultimate parent company of the resulting entity).

Page 330: 10-K filed

January 13, 2014 Mr. Robert Chai-Onn Page 6 of 12

(h) Notice of Termination . With the exception of a termination described in Section 6(a), any termination of your employment by the Company or by you shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.

7. Accrued Obligations . Upon any termination of your employment during the Employment Term, you will be entitled to (i) payment of the earned and unpaid base salary and accrued and unpaid vacation time through the date of termination; (ii) reimbursement, within sixty (60) days following submission by you to the Company of appropriate supporting documentation, for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by you in accordance with Company policy prior to the date of your termination; provided claims for such reimbursement (accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation) are submitted to the Company within ninety (90) days following the date of your termination of employment; and (iii) such employee benefits, if any, to which you are entitled under the employee benefit plans of the Company under the terms of such plans (the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iii) hereof being referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”). The treatment of any deferred compensation or equity or equity-based award held by you upon termination shall be governed by the terms of the applicable plan and/or agreement (as modified by this letter agreement, if applicable).

8. Severance Benefits . If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, the Company shall have the following obligations:

(a) The Company will pay you an amount equal to two times the sum of your annual salary and target bonus, in each case as of the date

of your termination (without giving effect to any reduction thereto constituting Good Reason).

(b) In addition, the Company will pay you any bonus earned but unpaid in respect of any fiscal year preceding the Termination Date. The Company will also pay you a bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, as though you had continued in employment until the payment of bonuses by the Company to its executives for such fiscal year, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the lesser of (x) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive based on actual achievement against the stated performance objectives or (y) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive assuming that the applicable performance objectives for such fiscal year were achieved at “target”, and (B) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year

Page 331: 10-K filed

January 13, 2014 Mr. Robert Chai-Onn Page 7 of 12

through Termination Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 365; provided that, if your termination occurs at any time within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (or during the six months prior to a Change in Control if such termination was in contemplation of, and directly related to, the Change in Control), then in the foregoing calculation the amount under (A) shall be equal to (y). Any bonus payable to you under this Section 8(b) shall be paid in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs.

(c) The Company will provide you (and your dependents) with continued coverage under any health, medical, dental or vision program or policy in which you were eligible to participate at the time of your employment termination for 12 months following such termination on payment terms no less favorable to you and your dependents (including with respect to payment for the costs thereof) than those in effect immediately prior to such termination (it being understood that such programs or policies shall remain subject to change from time to time);

(d) The Company shall provide outplacement services through one or more outside firms of your choosing up to an aggregate of

$20,000, which services shall extend until the earlier of (i) 12 months following the termination of your employment or (ii) the date that you secure full time employment.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable award agreement, each of your options to acquire shares of Company

common vested and outstanding as of the Termination Date shall remain exercisable for one year following the Termination Date (but in no event beyond the expiration of the original term).

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay or provide any of the severance benefits provided for by Section 8 of this letter agreement and shall have no obligations to you in respect of the termination of your employment save and except for obligations that are expressly established by applicable employment standards legislation unless you execute and deliver, within 60 days of the date of your termination, and do not revoke, a general release in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and any revocation period set forth in the release has lapsed. Subject to the provisions of Section 11(b), the Company shall pay all cash severance benefits due within 10 business days following the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence. You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any severance payment provided for under this letter by seeking other employment or otherwise and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any compensation or benefits provided to you in any subsequent employment, except that the benefit continuation described in Section 8(c) may be reduced by the Company to the extent that you obtain replacement coverage following the Date of Termination.

Page 332: 10-K filed

January 13, 2014 Mr. Robert Chai-Onn Page 8 of 12

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the timing of your execution of the general release, directly or

indirectly, result in you designating the calendar year of payment, and if a payment that is subject to execution of the general release could be made in more than one taxable year, payment shall be made in the later taxable year.

9. Change in Control . For purposes of each equity award outstanding as of the date hereof, (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the applicable award agreement), a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to occur if and when the first of the following occurs:

(a) the acquisition (other than from the Company), by any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(c) or 14(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;

(b) the individuals who, as of the date hereof, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, and such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board;

(c) the closing of an amalgamation or similar business combination (each, an “Amalgamation”) involving the Company if (i) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Amalgamation, do not, as a result of such Amalgamation, own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such Amalgamation or (ii) immediately following the Amalgamation, the individuals who comprised the Board immediately prior thereto do not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation (or, if the entity resulting from such Amalgamation is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof);

(d) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the closing of an agreement for the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

Page 333: 10-K filed

January 13, 2014 Mr. Robert Chai-Onn Page 9 of 12

by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 409A”), a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A.

10. Covenant Not to Solicit .

(a) Covenant . To protect the confidential information and other trade secrets of the Company and its affiliates, you agree, during your employment with the Company or any of its affiliates and for a period of twelve (12) months after your cessation of employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, not to solicit, attempt to solicit, or participate in or assist in any way in the solicitation or attempted solicitation of any employees or independent contractors of the Company or any its affiliates.

It is the intent and desire of you and the Company (and its affiliates) that the restrictive provisions of Section 10(a) above be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies as applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.

You acknowledge that the Company or its affiliates will suffer irreparable injury, not readily susceptible of valuation in monetary damages, if you breach your obligations under Section 10(a). Accordingly, you agree that the Company and its affiliates will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to obtain injunctive relief against any breach or prospective breach by you of your obligations under Section 10(a) in any Federal or state court sitting in the State of New Jersey, or, at the Company’s (or its affiliate’s) election, in any other state or jurisdiction in which you maintain

Page 341: 10-K filed

January 2, 2013 Mr. Laizer Kornwasser Page 5 of 8

without advance notice, and with or without Cause or with or without Good Reason. This offer of employment does not constitute an express or implied agreement of continuing or long term employment.

• Severance Benefits . Notwithstanding the immediately preceding bullet paragraph, if your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, the Company shall have the following obligations:

(i) The Company will pay you an amount equal to the sum of (A) your annual salary as of the Termination Date, plus (B) your annual target bonus as of the Termination Date, provided that, if your termination occurs either in contemplation of a Change in Control or at any time within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, the Company shall instead pay you an amount equal to two times the sum of (A) your annual salary as of the Termination Date, plus (B) your annual target bonus as of the Termination Date. The “Termination Date” shall be the date specified as the effective date of the termination of your employment in any notice of termination of employment provided by the Company to you or accepted by the Company in the event of your giving notice of the termination of your employment.

(ii) The Company will pay you any accrued but unpaid salary or vacation pay and any deferred compensation. In addition, the Company will pay you any bonus earned but unpaid in respect of any fiscal year preceding the Termination Date. The Company will also pay you a bonus in respect of the fiscal year in which the Termination Date occurs, as though you had continued in employment until the payment of bonuses by the Company to its executives for such fiscal year, in an amount equal to the product of (A) the lesser of (x) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive based on actual achievement against the stated performance objectives or (y) the bonus that you would have been entitled to receive assuming that the applicable performance objectives for such fiscal year were achieved at “target”, and (B) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of days in such fiscal year through Termination Date and (ii) the denominator of which is 365; provided that, if your termination occurs either in contemplation of a Change in Control or at any time within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, then in the foregoing calculation the amount under (A) shall be equal to (y). Any bonus payable to you under this bullet shall be paid in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Termination Date occurs.

(iii) The Company will provide you with continued coverage under any health, medical, dental or vision program or policy in which you

were eligible to participate at the Termination Date for 12 months following such termination on terms no less favorable to you and your dependents (including with respect to payment for the costs thereof) than those in effect immediately prior to such termination.

(iv) The Company shall provide outplacement services through one or more outside firms of your choosing up to an aggregate of

$20,000, which services shall extend until the earlier of (i) 12 months following the Termination Date or (ii) the date that you secure full time employment.

operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender had not received prior notice from Borrower or the Requisite Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 3.3 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 3.3 to the making of such Swing Line Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Requisite Lenders or (C) at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(c) Resignation and Removal of Swing Line Lender . Swing Line Lender may resign as Swing Line Lender upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower. Swing Line Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Administrative Agent, the replaced Swing Line Lender ( provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Swing Line Lender has no Swing Line Loans outstanding) and the successor Swing Line Lender. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of Swing Line Lender. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, (i) Borrower shall prepay any outstanding Swing Line Loans made by the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender, (ii) upon such prepayment, the resigning or removed Swing Line Lender shall surrender any Swing Line Note held by it to Borrower for cancellation, and (iii) Borrower shall issue, if so requested by the successor Swing Line Lender, a new Swing Line Note to the successor Swing Line Lender, in the principal amount of the Swing Line Sublimit then in effect and with other appropriate insertions. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (x) any successor Swing Line Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of a Swing Line Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swing Line Loans made thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swing Line Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swing Line Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swing Line Lenders, as the context shall require.

2.4 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a) Letters of Credit . During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower; provided , (i) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 (or the Equivalent Amount thereof in any alternative currency) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (ii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (iv) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 30 months from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; (v) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 30 months from the date of issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit; and (vi) Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally and not solely to letters of credit issuable to Borrower.

-58-

Page 453: 10-K filed

or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period, and so notifies the beneficiary thereof 30 days in advance that such standby Letter of Credit will not be so extended; provided that Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided , further , that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage.

(b) Notice of Issuance .

Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.3, Issuing Bank shall issue, amend or modify the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e).

(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank with Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments . In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank.

(d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit . In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which Borrower was notified by Issuing Bank that such drawing was honored (the “ Reimbursement Date ”) in an Equivalent Amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided that anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an Equivalent Amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.3, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided , further , that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of proceeds of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit . Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in an Equivalent Amount in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Administrative Agent specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all

-60-

Page 455: 10-K filed

or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute . The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided , in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question.

(g) Indemnification . Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act, other than any Governmental Act resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank.

(h) Resignation and Removal of Issuing Bank . An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank upon 60 days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank ( provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to

-61-

Page 456: 10-K filed

such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

2.5 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares . All Loans shall be made, and all participations shall be purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment or Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds . Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.6 Use of Proceeds.

(a) The proceeds of the Loans shall be used as follows:

(i) the proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit made after the Third Restatement Date shall be applied by Borrower, as applicable, to (A) finance a portion of any Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses, (B) fund permitted capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, (C) provide for the ongoing working capital requirements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (D) provide for general corporate purposes of Borrower and its Subsidiaries; and

(b) No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof.

2.7 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt . Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided , that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register . Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “ Register ”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.7, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Notes . If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Third Restatement Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Third Restatement Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Third Restatement Date, as promptly as practicable after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, New Term Loans, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.8 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Tranche A Term Loans and Revolving Loans:

-63-

Page 458: 10-K filed

(ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(iii) in the case of Tranche B Loans:

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as a Base Rate Loan only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided that, until the date on which Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans and Revolving Commitments has been completed, as determined by Administrative Agent (but in no event to exceed 90 days after the Third Restatement Date), the Tranche B Term Loans shall be maintained as either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than three months or (2) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than seven (7) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Base Rate Loans for which the Base Rate has been calculated pursuant to the third sentence of the definition thereof), on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans for which the Base Rate has been calculated pursuant to the third sentence of the definition thereof, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar

-64-

• if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

• if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

• if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

• if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Page 459: 10-K filed

Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be excluded; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided , however , with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f) Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, the rate of interest required pursuant to Section 2.10.

(g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.8(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.8(g), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower.

2.9 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion;

-65-

Page 460: 10-K filed

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan;

(b) Subject to Section 3.3(b), Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan), at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan).

2.10 Default Interest .

first , to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;

second , to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof; and

third , to prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof); and further applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and the New Term Loans (if any).

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments by Type of Loans . Any amount required to be paid pursuant to Sections 2.14(a) through 2.14(e) shall be applied as follows:

first , to prepay Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof) and further applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and the New Term Loans (if any);

second , to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;

third , to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof;

(d) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment . Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Tranche A Term Loans are outstanding, in the event Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “ Waivable Mandatory Prepayment ”) of the Tranche B Term Loans, not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “ Required Prepayment Date ”) on which Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Tranche B Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date,

-75-

Page 470: 10-K filed

Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Tranche B Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b)), and (ii) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment otherwise payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option, to prepay the Tranche A Term Loans (which prepayment shall be further applied to the scheduled installments of principal of the Tranche A Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(b)), with any excess after such prepayment of the Tranche A Term Loans being further applied in accordance with clauses second through sixth of Section 2.15(b).

2.16 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than (x) 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, in Dollars and otherwise in the manner set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2.16.

(g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the next succeeding Business Day.

-76-

Page 471: 10-K filed

Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 9.2 of the Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement and the analogous sections of any other Collateral Documents.

2.17 Ratable Sharing . Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off, consolidation or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under any Insolvency Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “ Aggregate Amounts Due ” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it in accordance herewith.

2.18 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate . In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed

-77-

Page 472: 10-K filed

Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by email or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans . In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “ Affected Lender ” and it shall on that day give notice (by email or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) a notice from Lenders constituting Requisite Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “ Affected Loans ”), shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods . Borrower shall compensate each Lender, as promptly as practicable after written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or deployment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a

-78-

Page 473: 10-K filed

Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower.

(d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans . Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans . Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period through the transfer of such matching deposit or other borrowing from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided , however , each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19.

2.19 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes . In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(a)) shall reasonably determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any Applicable Law, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new Applicable Law), or any determination of any Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Excluded Taxes (including any change in the rate of Excluded Taxes), Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.20) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”); or (iii) imposes any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a change of law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued; then, in any such case, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as promptly as practicable after receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating,

-79-

Page 474: 10-K filed

interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment . In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have reasonably determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Third Restatement Date of any Applicable Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements, or any change therein or in the interpretation, application or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any Applicable Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed a change of law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.20 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear . All sums payable by or on behalf of any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(b) Withholding of Taxes . If any Credit Party or any other applicable withholding agent is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender (which term shall include each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii)

-80-

Page 475: 10-K filed

the sum payable by the Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deduction, withholding or payment applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.20), Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower (if Borrower is the withholding agent) shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(c) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any amounts payable under this Section 2.20) payable by such Agent or such Lender (whether or not such Taxes are correctly or legally imposed) and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate from the relevant Lender or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Exemption from Withholding Tax . Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Credit Documents. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lender’s circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a Lender shall be required to provide any documentation under this Section 2.20(d) only to the extent it is legally eligible to do so.

(e) Payment of Taxes . In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document (“ Other Taxes ”).

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds . If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes (whether received in cash or applied by the taxing authority granting the refund to offset another Taxes otherwise owed) as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence ( plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(f), in no

-81-

Page 476: 10-K filed

event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.20(f) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.20(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Minimum Interest . As part of entering into this Agreement, the parties hereto have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set forth in this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that in the event that (A) Swiss Federal Withholding Tax is due on interest payments or other payments by any Credit Party under this Agreement and (B) Section 2.20(b) ( Withholding of Taxes ) is unenforceable for any reason:

(x) the applicable interest rate in relation to that interest payment shall be (i) the interest rate which would have applied to that interest payment as provided for in Section 2.8 divided by (ii) 1 minus the rate at which the relevant Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made under Swiss domestic tax law and / or applicable double taxation treaties (where the rate at which the relevant Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction is required to be made is for this purpose expressed as a fraction of 1); and

(y) the Credit Party shall (i) pay the relevant interest at the adjusted rate in accordance with paragraph (x) above, (ii) make the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax deduction on the interest so recalculated and (iii) all references to a rate of interest under the Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

To the extent that interest payable by any Credit Party under this Agreement becomes subject to Swiss Federal Withholding Tax, the parties shall promptly co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the Swiss or foreign tax authorities) to the extent possible and necessary for the Credit Party to obtain the tax ruling from the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

Section 2.20(f) equally applies to this Section 2.20(g).

2.21 Obligation to Mitigate . Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided , such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office or take such other measures pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office or

-82-

take such other measures as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.22 Defaulting Lenders . Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Credit Documents that requires the approval of Requisite Lenders, and Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent such additional amounts of cash as reasonably requested by the Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender to be held as security for Borrower’s reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans then outstanding (such amount not to exceed such Defaulting Lender’s obligations under Sections 2.3 and 2.4). During any Default Period with respect to a Funds Defaulting Lender that is not also an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, (a) any amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Funds Defaulting Lender with respect to its Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory prepayments and fees) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Funds Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent and applied in the following order of priority: first , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Funds Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent, second , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Funds Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender, third , to the payment of any amounts owing by such Funds Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank, and fourth , to the payment of the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Funds Defaulting Lender) as if such Funds Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Funds Defaulting Lender; and (b) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. During any Default Period with respect to an Insolvency Defaulting Lender, any amounts that would otherwise be payable to such Insolvency Defaulting Lender under the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, voluntary and mandatory prepayments and fees including fees payable under Section 2.11) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Insolvency Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent to collateralize indemnification and reimbursement obligations of such Insolvency Defaulting Lender in an amount reasonably determined by Administrative Agent. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.22, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or the operation of this Section 2.22. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender as a result of it becoming a Defaulting Lender and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect thereto. If any Letter of Credit Usage exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then all or any part of such Letter of Credit Usage shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share but only to the extent (x) the sum of each non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists or shall have occurred.

2.23 Removal or Replacement of a Lender . Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “ Increased Cost Lender ”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting

-83-

Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “ Non-Consenting Lender ”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “ Terminated Lender ”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “ Replacement Lender ”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or Insolvency Defaulting Lender, and the Funds Defaulting Lender (if not also an Insolvency Defaulting Lender) shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided , (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment; (3) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made under Section 2.20, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payment and (4) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided that Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 10.6. In the event that a Terminated Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 10.6 on behalf of such Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 10.6.

2.24 Interest Act (Canada) . For purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada), the annual rates of interest or fees to which the rates of interest or fees provided for in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and stated herein or therein, as applicable, to be computed on the basis of a 360 day year or any other period of time less than a calendar year) are equivalent are the rates so provided for multiplied by the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year and divided by 360 or the actual number of days in such other period of time, respectively.

2.25 Incremental Facilities . Borrower may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to request (A) prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the existing

borrowed on such date), of 5.25 to 1.00; provided , further , that, (x) the effectiveness of New Term Loans incurred to finance the Medicis Acquisition or the Bausch & Lomb Acquisition shall not be subject to Borrower’s compliance with clauses (1), (3) or (7) of the foregoing proviso and (y) the effectiveness of New Term Loans incurred and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments established to finance any Permitted Acquisition consummated after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date shall not be subject to compliance with clause (1) of the foregoing proviso.

On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Loan Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Loan Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “ New Revolving Loan ”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders promptly upon receipt of Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (x) the New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders or the Series of New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Lenders of such Series, as applicable, and (y) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Loan Lender, the respective interests in such Revolving Loan Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section.

The terms and provisions of the Tranche A New Term Loans of any Series shall be, except with respect to pricing, amortization and maturity and except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, identical to the Tranche A Term Loans. The terms and provisions of the Tranche B New Term Loans of any Series shall be, except with respect to pricing, amortization and maturity and except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, identical to the Tranche B Term Loans. The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans shall be, except with respect to maturity, identical to the Revolving Loans. In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of all New Term Loans of any Series shall be no shorter than the then-remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans (other than with respect to a Tranche A New Term Loan, which shall have a weighted average life to maturity not shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Tranche A Term Loans), (ii) the applicable New Term Loan Maturity Date of each Series shall be no shorter than the latest of the final maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans (other than with respect to a Tranche A New Term Loan, which shall have a maturity date not earlier than the Tranche A Term Loan

Maturity Date), and (iii) the yield applicable to the New Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided however (A) that the yield applicable to the Tranche A New Term Loans (after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such Tranche A New Term Loans) shall not be greater than the applicable yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Tranche A Term Loans (including any upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid and payable to the initial Lenders hereunder) plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate with respect to the Tranche A Term Loan is increased so as to cause the then applicable yield under this Agreement on the Tranche A Term Loans (including any upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid and payable to the initial Lenders hereunder) to equal the yield then applicable to the Tranche A New Term Loans (after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such Tranche A New Term Loans) minus 0.50% per annum and (B) that the yield applicable to the Tranche B New Term Loans (after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such Tranche B New Term Loans) shall not be greater than the applicable yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Tranche B Term Loans (including any upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid and payable to the initial Lenders hereunder) plus 0.50% per annum unless the interest rate with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan is increased so as to cause the then applicable yield under this Agreement on the Tranche B Term Loans (including any upfront or similar fees or original issue discount paid and payable to the initial Lenders hereunder) to equal the yield then applicable to the Tranche B New Term Loans (after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount payable with respect to such Tranche B New Term Loans) minus 0.50% per annum. For purposes of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, upfront or similar fees and original issue discount will be equated to interest rates based upon an assumed four-year average life. Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.25.

Except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.25, New Term Loans incurred and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments established to finance the Medicis Acquisition, the Bausch & Lomb Acquisition or any Permitted Acquisition after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date shall be entered into in accordance with this Section 2.25 and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof; provided that as of the date of establishment of such New Term Loans incurred to finance the Medicis Acquisition or the Bausch & Lomb Acquisition, Borrower shall not be required to comply with the Secured Leverage Ratio set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 2.25; provided that, as of such date, the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a) (solely with respect to due organization) 4.1(b) (solely with respect to the Joinder Agreement to be entered into with respect to such New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable), 4.3 (solely with respect to the Joinder Agreement to be entered into with respect to such New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable), 4.4(a)(ii) (solely with respect to the Joinder Agreement to be entered into with respect to such New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable), 4.6 (solely with respect to the Joinder Agreement to be entered into with respect to such New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable), 4.15 (solely with respect to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940), 4.16 (solely with respect to the Joinder Agreement to be entered into with respect to such New Term Loans and/or New Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable) and 4.23 (solely with respect to the PATRIOT Act), in each case, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof.

2.26 Extensions of Loans and Commitments.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (an “ Existing Term Loan Tranche ” ) be modified to constitute another Class of Term Loans in order to extend the scheduled final maturity date thereof (any such Term Loans which have been so modified, “ Extended Term Loans ” ) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (a “ Term Loan Extension Request ” ) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the amortization shall be as set forth in the Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margin with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and/or (B) additional fees (including prepayment or termination premiums) may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margin contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments or prepayment of Term Loans hereunder in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, (iv) the final maturity date and the scheduled amortization applicable to the Extended Term Loans shall be set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment and the scheduled amortization of such Existing Term Loan Tranche shall be adjusted to reflect the amortization schedule (including the principal amounts payable pursuant thereto) in respect of the Term Loans under such Existing Term Loan Tranche that have been extended as Extended Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that the weighted average life to maturity of such Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (v) the covenants set forth in Section 6.7 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest maturity date of the then outstanding Term Loans in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Term Loans, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.5(a), 2.17 or 10.5). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Term Loans shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Section 2.15(a) and 2.15(b) applicable to Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Term Loans, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche modified to constitute Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were modified.

(b) The Borrower may, at any time request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of any Class (an “ Existing Revolving Tranche ” and any related Revolving Loans thereunder, “ Existing Revolving Loans ” ) be modified to constitute another Class of Revolving Commitments in order to extend the termination date thereof (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so

-88-

modified, “ Extended Revolving Commitments ” and any related Revolving Loans, “ Extended Revolving Loans ” ) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26. In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche) (a “ Revolving Extension Request ” ) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they are to be modified except (i) the scheduled termination date of the Extended Revolving Commitments and the related scheduled maturity date of the related Extended Revolving Loans shall be extended to the date set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, (ii) (A) the Applicable Margin with respect to the Extended Revolving Loans may be higher or lower than the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans of such Existing Revolving Tranche and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any increased Applicable Margin contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment and (iii) the covenants set forth in Section 6.7 may be modified in a manner acceptable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to the applicable Extension Amendment, such modifications to become effective only after the latest maturity date of the then outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments in effect immediately prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that each Lender providing Extended Revolving Commitments, by executing an Extension Amendment, agrees to be bound by such provisions and waives any inconsistent provisions set forth in Section 2.5(a), 2.17 or 10.5). Except as provided above, each Lender holding Extended Revolving Commitments shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions set forth in Sections 2.15(a) and 2.15(b) applicable to existing Revolving Loans) and the other Credit Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to secure all the Obligations and continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the extension of any Revolving Commitments, including, without limitation, the procurement of title insurance endorsements reasonably requested by and satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Revolving Tranche modified to constitute Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Revolving Extension Request. Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Tranche shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Revolving Tranche from which they were modified. If, on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the applicable Existing Revolving Tranche, such Revolving Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Revolving Loans (and related participations) and Existing Revolving Loans (and related participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Extended Revolving Commitments bear to its remaining Revolving Commitments of the Existing Revolving Tranche. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Extension Amendment and with the consent of Issuing Bank, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the latest Revolving Commitment Termination Date then in effect shall be re-allocated from Lenders of the Existing Revolving Tranche to Lenders holding Extending Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such Extension Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extending Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extending Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

(c) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Tranche are requested to respond (or such shorter period as is agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any Lender (an “ Extending Lender ” ) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing

-89-

Page 484: 10-K filed

Tranche subject to such Extension Request modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “ Extension Election ” ) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche that it has elected to modify to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable. In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Elections shall be modified to constitute Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments included in such Extension Elections. The Borrower shall have the right to withdraw any Extension Request upon written notice to the Administrative Agent in the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of the Existing Tranche subject to such Extension Request is less than the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested pursuant to such Election Request.

(d) Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “ Extension Amendment ” ) to this Agreement (in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Extension Amendment shall be executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders (it being understood that such Extension Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender other than (A) the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, established thereby, (B) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of Issuing Bank’s obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, the consent of Issuing Bank and (C) with respect to any extension of the Revolving Commitments that results in an extension of the Swing Line Lender’s obligations with respect to Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender).

(e) In addition to any conditions precedent set forth in any applicable Extension Amendment, no Extension Amendment shall be effective unless no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such extension or after giving effect thereto.

-123-

Page 518: 10-K filed

7.3 Payment by Guarantors . Subject to the Contribution Agreement, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) or analogous provisions of other Insolvency Laws), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case or proceeding under any Insolvency Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute . To the extent permitted under Applicable Law, each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise,

-124-

release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements or any Cash Management Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements or any Cash Management Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements, any of the Cash Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement, such Cash Management Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements, any of the Cash Management Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure

(g) Each of the Secured Parties agrees not to enforce the guarantee created hereunder by, or any other Obligations under the Credit Document of a Guarantor established in Luxembourg (a “ Luxembourg Guarantor ”) in so far as the aggregate obligations and liabilities of any Luxembourg Guarantor with respect to the repayment under a joint and several liability clause of any borrowing or costs or expenses not incurred directly or indirectly by or on behalf of the Luxembourg Guarantor, and the granting of any guarantee, indemnity or security under the Credit Documents exceed 90% each time the higher of (i) the book value of all the assets of the Luxembourg Guarantor at the time of this Agreement or at the time the relevant guarantee or security is enforced or (ii) the net assets (capitaux propres as referred to in article 34 of the Luxembourg law on the commercial register and annual accounts) of such Luxembourg Guarantor as shown in the financial statements as of the date of this Agreement or in the latest financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of the relevant payment hereunder and approved by the shareholders of such Luxembourg Company, and as audited by its statutory auditor or its external auditor (réviseur d’entreprise), if required by law; it being understood that the payment obligations of the Luxembourg Guarantor shall not be limited to the extent that the Luxembourg Guarantor secures obligations of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries or in respect of sums that have been made directly or indirectly available to the Luxembourg Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Documents, the limitation set out in this Section 7.4(g) shall apply to the aggregate of all securities, whether guarantees, pledges, security assignments, or otherwise, granted or to be granted by the Luxembourg Guarantor.

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors . To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements, the Cash Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc . Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations . Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “ Obligee Guarantor ”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.8 Continuing Guaranty . This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

-127-

7.9 Authority of Guarantors or Borrower . It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10 Financial Condition of Borrower . Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case, application or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case, application or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case, application or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case, application or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case, application or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case, application or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.13 Swiss Guarantee Limitations . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the following limitations shall apply to any Swiss Guarantor:

(a) If complying with the obligations of the Swiss Guarantor under the guarantee (including for the avoidance of doubt, any restrictions of the Swiss Guarantor’s rights of set-off and/or subrogation or its duties to subordinate or waive claims, if any) would constitute a repayment of capital ( Einlagerückgewähr ), a violation of the legally protected reserves ( gesetzlich geschützte Reserven ) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend ( Gewinnausschüttung ) by the Swiss Guarantor or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss corporate law then applicable (the “ Restricted Obligations ”), the aggregate liability of the Swiss Guarantor for Restricted Obligations shall not exceed the amount of the Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable equity in accordance with Swiss law, being the total assets of the relevant Swiss Guarantor less the total of (1) the aggregate of the relevant Swiss Guarantor’s liabilities, (2) the aggregate share capital and (3) statutory reserves (including reserves for own shares and revaluations as well as capital surplus ( agio ) to the extent such reserves cannot be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves (the “ Maximum Amount ”). The amount of freely disposable equity shall be determined on the basis of an audited interim balance sheet as set out in clause (b)(ii) below. This limitation shall only apply to the extent that it is a requirement under applicable Swiss mandatory law at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform its guarantee obligations under the Credit Documents. Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess thereof, but merely postpone the performance date therefor until such time as performance is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation.

(b) Immediately after having been requested to make any payments or otherwise perform Restricted Obligations under the guarantee, the Swiss Guarantor shall, and any parent company of the Swiss Guarantor being a party to this Agreement shall procure that, the Swiss Guarantor will:

(i) perform any Restricted Obligations which are not affected by the above limitations and take and cause to be taken all and any action, including, without limitation, (1) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (2) the obtaining of any confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owed by the Swiss Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document as well as the performance by the Swiss Guarantor of other obligations there related with a minimum of limitations; and

(ii) in respect of any balance, if and to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent or required under then applicable Swiss law, provide the Collateral Agent with an interim balance sheet audited by the statutory auditors of the Swiss Guarantor setting out the Maximum Amount, take such further corporate and other action as may be required by law (such as board and shareholders’ approvals and the receipt of any confirmations

-129-

Page 524: 10-K filed

from the Swiss Guarantor’s statutory auditors) and other measures necessary to allow the Swiss Guarantor to make the payments agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations and, immediately thereafter, pay up to the Maximum Amount to the Collateral Agent.

(c) If the enforcement of the obligations of the Swiss Guarantor under the Credit Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Agreement, the Swiss Guarantor shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Collateral Agent, write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business ( nicht betriebsnotwendig ) and such sale is permitted under the Credit Documents.

(d) To the extent required by applicable law, including double tax treaties, in force at the time, the Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment under this Agreement it shall:

(i) use its best efforts to ensure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Federal Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(ii) deduct the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) applies for a part of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and

(iii) notify and provide evidence to the Collateral Agent that the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax has been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.

(e) To the extent such deduction is made, and to the extent the maximum amount of freely disposable shareholder equity pursuant to this Agreement is not fully utilized, the Swiss Guarantor shall be required to pay an additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss Federal Withholding Tax the aggregate net amount paid to the Lenders is equal to the amount which would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss Federal Withholding Tax had been required, provided that the aggregate amount paid (and including amounts withheld) shall in any event be limited to the maximum amount of freely disposable shareholder equity pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) The Swiss Guarantor shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that any Person which is, as a result of a deduction of Swiss Federal Withholding Tax, entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax, will, as soon as possible after the deduction of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax,

(i) request a refund of the Swiss Federal Withholding Tax under any applicable law (including double tax treaties), and

(ii) pay to the Collateral Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded (and after deduction of any tax) if so required under the guarantee or the Indenture and to the extent legally permissible.

9.8 Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

(a) Agents Under Collateral Documents and Guaranty . Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents; provided that neither Administrative Agent nor Collateral Agent shall owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement. Subject to Section 10.5, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.5) have otherwise consented. Collateral Agent further declares that it holds all Australian Collateral acquired by the Collateral Agent after the date hereof on trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties from time to time (it being understood that the provisions of this Section 9 apply to Collateral Agent in its capacity as trustee of such trust).

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty . Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(c) Rights Under Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Agreements . No Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section 10.5(c)(v) of this Agreement, Section 9.2 of the Second Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement and the analogous sections of any other Collateral Documents. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Credit Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (c).

(d) Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Credit Documents . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the outstanding amounts under all such Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank or, if satisfactory to Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, a backstop Letter of Credit is in place), upon request of Borrower, (i) Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Counterparty that is a party to any Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and (ii) Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Lender Counterparty that is a party to any Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Agreements (and, subject to the next succeeding sentence, the provisions of Section 7 shall cease to apply). Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In addition, upon (a) any disposition of property permitted by this Agreement to a Person that is not a Credit Party, the Liens granted thereon shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person and (b) the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which a Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of Borrower, such Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Collateral Documents and the guaranty and security interest in the Collateral of such Guarantor shall automatically be released.

9.9 Withholding Taxes . To the extent required by any Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender (which term shall include Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 9.9) an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify fully and hold harmless Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by

-139-

Page 534: 10-K filed

Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20 and without limiting or expanding the obligation of Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Taxes or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 9.9 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

9.10 Quebec Security . To the extent that any Canadian Credit Party now or in the future is required to grant security pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each Agent (other than the Collateral Agent) and Lender acting for itself and on behalf of all present and future Affiliates of such Agent or Lender that are or become a Lender Counterparty, hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Collateral Agent to act as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney ( fondé de pouvoir ) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec ) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Quebec as security for any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by any Canadian Credit Party and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon a fondé de pouvoir under the relevant deed of hypothec and applicable laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Moreover, in respect of any pledge by any such Canadian Credit Party of any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as security in respect of any Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall also be authorized to hold such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as agent, mandatary, custodian and pledgee for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties, the whole notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of the An Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Collateral Agent of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any person who becomes a Lender, Issuing Bank, an Agent or a Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of each of the Collateral Agent as fondé de pouvoir , agent, mandatary and custodian on behalf of all Agents, Issuing Banks, Lenders and the Lender Counterparties, including such person. For greater certainty, the Collateral Agent, when acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney ( fondé de pouvoir ), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favour of the Collateral Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis . In the event of the resignation and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, such successor of the Collateral Agent shall also act as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney ( fondé de pouvoir ), and as agent, mandatary and custodian for the purposes set forth above. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 apply but are unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, each Agent, Issuing Bank, Arranger and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee . Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Third Restatement Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f) Effect of Assignment . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments so assigned as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under

-147-

Page 542: 10-K filed

Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date); provided that anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder; (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(g) Participations .

(1) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments or Loans or in any other Obligation.

(2) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that the participation agreement may provide that the Lender must first obtain the participant’s consent with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “ Participant Register ”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(3) Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof, including the requirement to provide forms under Section 2.20(d)) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent that entitlement to

-148-

Page 543: 10-K filed

a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after such Participant acquires the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender.

(h) SPC . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “ Granting Lender ”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Borrower (an “ SPC ”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) an SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof, including the requirement to provide forms under Section 2.20(d)) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that an SPC shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the Loans subject to such option, except to the extent that entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after such SPC acquires such option, (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Credit Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(i) Certain Other Assignments and Participations . In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or such other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

10.7 Independence of Covenants . All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements . All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

10.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative . No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside . Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state, provincial, territorial or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

10.11 Severability . In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights . The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13 Headings . Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND EN FORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.18 Usury Savings Clause . If any provision of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Credit Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by such Agent or Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)) or in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then notwithstanding such provisions, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in a receipt by such Agent or such Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: (1) firstly, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender under Section 2.8, and (2) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts required to be paid to such Agent or such Lender which would constitute

-152-

Page 547: 10-K filed

“interest” for purposes of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada) or for the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated in the preceding sentence, if an Agent or Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by that section of the Criminal Code (Canada) or by application of the Highest Lawful Rate, such Credit Party shall be entitled, by notice in writing to such Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from such Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess and, pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by such Agent or such Lender to such Credit Party. Any amount or rate of interest referred to in this Section 10.18 shall be determined in accordance with GAAP as an effective annual rate of interest over the term that the applicable Loan remains outstanding on the assumption that any charges, fees or expenses that fall within the meaning of “interest” (as defined in the Criminal Code (Canada) or for the purposes of determining the Highest Lawful Rate) shall, if they relate to a specific period of time, be pro-rated over that period of time and otherwise be pro-rated over the period from the Third Restatement Date to the later of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date and, in the event of a dispute, a certificate of an actuary appointed by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive for the purposes of such determination absent manifest error.

10.19 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.21 PATRIOT Act; PCTFA .

10.22 Electronic Execution of Assignments . The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Commerce Act (Ontario) or any similar provincial, territorial or federal laws.

10.23 No Fiduciary Duty . Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “ Lenders ”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates.

The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length

-153-

Page 548: 10-K filed

commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

10.24 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 10.24 referred to as the “ Judgment Currency ”) an amount due under any Credit Document in any currency (the “ Obligation Currency ”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 10.24 being hereinafter in this Section 10.24 referred to as the “ Judgment Conversion Date ”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.24(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, then the applicable Credit Party or Credit Parties shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will provide the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Credit Party under this Section 10.24(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Credit Documents.

(c) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 10.24 means the rate of exchange at which Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with Administrative Agent’s normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

10.25 Joint and Several Liability . Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Credit Documents, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the BIA) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint or joint and several basis, then any Canadian Credit Party’s Obligations (and the Obligations of each other Credit Party with respect thereto), to the extent such Obligations are secured, only shall be several obligations and not joint or joint and several obligations.

10.27 Day Not a Business Day . In the event that any day on or before which any action, calculation, determination or allocation is required to be taken hereunder is not a Business Day, then such action, calculation, determination or allocation shall be required to be taken at the requisite time on or before the first succeeding day that is a Business Day thereafter, unless such day is in the next calendar month, in which case such action, calculation, determination or allocation shall be required to be taken at the requisite time on the first preceding day that is a Business Day.

10.28 Limitations Act, 2002 . Each of the parties hereto agrees that any and all limitation periods provided for in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) or any other Applicable Law that provides for or relates to limitation periods, shall be excluded from application to the Obligations and any undertaking, covenant, indemnity or other agreement of any Credit Party provided for in any Credit Document to which it is a party in respect thereof, in each case to fullest extent permitted by such Act or other Applicable Law.

10.29 Parallel Debt.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and solely for the purpose of ensuring and preserving the validity and effect of the security rights granted and to be granted under or pursuant to the Collateral Documents governed by the laws of The Netherlands and the laws of Poland (the “ Foreign Security Agreements ”), each of the Lenders and the other parties hereto hereby acknowledges and consents to (i) each Credit Party that is a party to the Foreign Security Agreements undertaking herein to pay to the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity and not as agent, representative or trustee, as a separate independent obligation to the Administrative Agent, the amount of its Parallel Debt (which each such Credit Party hereby so undertakes to do), and (ii) the security rights contemplated by the Foreign Security Agreements being granted in favor of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as security for its claims under the Parallel Debt.

(b) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it may not pay its Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner instructed by, the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall be obligated to pay any amount of its Parallel Debt unless and until a corresponding amount of its Underlying Debt shall have become due and payable.

(c) To the extent any amount is paid to and received by the Administrative Agent in payment of the Parallel Debt and the Administrative Agent has turned over any amounts received by it in respect to the Parallel Debt to the Secured Parties as their interests appeared with respect to the Underlying Debt, the total amount due and payable in respect of the Underlying Debt shall be decreased as if such amount were received by the Secured Parties or any of them in payment of the corresponding Underlying Debt.
