 given instance would depend upon the facts and circumstances. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially as an entirety,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the applicability of the requirement that any Person assume AbbVie’s obligations on the Notes in connection with any conveyance, transfer or lease of AbbVie’s properties and assets may be uncertain.

#### Events of Default
The indenture defines an event of default with respect to any series of Notes as being:

(1)

failure to pay interest or premium on that series of Notes when due, continued for a period of 30 days;

(2)

failure to pay the principal on that series of Notes when due;

(3)

failure to perform, or breach, under any other covenant or warranty applicable to that series of Notes and not otherwise specifically dealt with in the definition of “event of default”, continued for a period of 90 days after the giving of written notice to AbbVie by the Trustee or to AbbVie and the Trustee by holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of that series (provided that such notice may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or to holders of the Notes more than two years prior to such notice); or

(4)

specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of AbbVie.

Any time period to cure any actual or alleged default or event of default may be extended or stayed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Trustee is required to give holders of the particular series of Notes written notice of a default with respect to that series as provided by the Trust Indenture Act. In the case of any default of the character described above in clause (3) of the immediately preceding paragraph, no such notice to holders must be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence of that default.

AbbVie is required annually to deliver to the Trustee a certificate stating whether or not the signers have any knowledge of any default by AbbVie in its performance and observance of any terms, provisions and conditions of the indenture.

In case an event of default (other than an event of default involving an event of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of AbbVie) shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of Notes, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the particular series of Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount
