 KEY EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT 
 This Key Employee Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of November 26, 2007, (the “Effective Date”), by and between Mark
Durand (“Executive”) and Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation. 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive to provide personal services to the Company, and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits in return for his services; and

 WHEREAS, Executive wishes to be employed by the Company and provide personal services to the Company
in return for certain compensation and benefits, including the benefits provided under this Agreement; 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 
 1. EMPLOYMENT BY THE COMPANY. Subject to terms set forth herein, the Company agrees to
employ Executive in the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Executive hereby accepts employment effective as of the Effective Date. In this position, Executive shall perform such duties as are assigned from time to
time by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company. During his employment with the Company, Executive will devote his best efforts and substantially all of his business time and attention (except for vacation periods as set forth
herein and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity permitted by the Company’s general employment policies) to the business of the Company. Executive shall abide by the general employment policies and procedures of the Company, except
that wherever the terms of this Agreement may differ from or are in conflict with the Company’s general employment policies or procedures, this Agreement shall control. 
 2. COMPENSATION. 
 2.1 Salary. For services to be rendered hereunder, Executive shall receive a base salary as set forth in Section 1 of the Compensation and Severance Terms Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A. Executive
will be considered annually for adjustments in base salary in accordance with Company policy and the terms of this Agreement and subject to review and approval by the CEO. 
 2.2 Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s bonus plan at the executive level throughout the
duration of Executive’s employment with the Company. The Company shall have the sole discretion to determine whether Executive is entitled to any such bonus and to determine the amount of the bonus. The amount of Executive’s bonus may be
determined in part based on Executive’s performance with respect to certain goals established by the Company and attainment by the Company of its planned financial objectives for the bonus period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no bonus is
guaranteed to Executive. Any bonus is subject to the approval of the CEO. The Company retains the authority to review, grant, 

  

 1 







 
deny or revise any bonus in its sole discretion. To be eligible to receive a bonus, Executive must remain in employment with the Company throughout the
entire fiscal year or as otherwise required by the applicable bonus plan as adopted by the Company from time to time. The target level of such bonus is set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 2.3 Long Term Incentive Awards. Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company or the
Compensation Committee of the Board, as appropriate, Executive shall receive the long term incentive awards set forth in Section 3 of Exhibit A, and such additional long term incentive awards as may from time to time be granted, pursuant to the
terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement and plan documents, copies of which will be made available upon Executive’s request. For the purposes of this Agreement, all long term incentive awards (e.g., stock
options, restricted stock and restricted stock units) granted to Executive by the Company hereunder, or granted in the future, shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Awards.” 
 2.4 Paid Time Off. Executive shall be eligible to accrue paid time off (“PTO”) during the term of this Agreement, in
accordance with the Company’s standard policy regarding PTO and in an amount commensurate with other employees at a level similar to that of the Executive. 
 2.5 Standard Company Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to all rights and benefits for which he is eligible under the terms and
conditions of the standard Company benefits plans (e.g., health and disability insurance, 401(k) retirement plan, etc.) and other benefits and incentives which may be in effect from time to time and provided by the Company to employees at levels
similar to the Executive. 
 2.6 Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse Executive for all ordinary and reasonably
incurred business related expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s expense reimbursement policies applicable, from time to time, to senior executives of the Company generally. 
 2.7 Relocation Expenses. If, at any time during the Employment Term, Executive shall be required by the Company to relocate from
his current residence in New Jersey, he shall be reimbursed for all expenses incurred in connection with such relocation pursuant to the Company’s then existing relocation policy applicable to senior executives of the Company. If no such policy
shall then exist, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith a reasonable relocation package for Executive. 
 3.
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS. 
 Executive agrees to execute and
abide by the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part hereof by this reference.

 4. OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES. 
 4.1 Activities. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO or the Board, as appropriate, Executive will not during his
employment with the Company undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise, other than ones in which Executive is a passive investor. Executive may engage in civic and not-for-profit activities so long as such
activities do not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder. Executive will not during his employment with the Company publicly disparage the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or their respective past or present products,
officers, directors, employees or agents. 
 4.2 Investments and Interests. During his employment by the Company,
Executive agrees not to acquire, assume or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment or interest known by him to be adverse to or in conflict with the interest of the Company, its business or prospects, financial or otherwise.
By way of clarification, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Executive from holding, for investment purposes only, no more than one percent (1%) of the capital stock of any publicly traded company. 
 4.3 Non-Competition. During his employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, Executive will not directly or
indirectly, whether as an officer, director, stockholder, partner, proprietor, associate, representative, consultant, or in any capacity whatsoever engage in, become financially interested in, be employed by or have any business connection with any
other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever known by him to compete directly with the Company, anywhere in the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company. 
 5. OTHER AGREEMENTS. 
 Executive represents and warrants that his employment by the Company will not conflict with and will not be constrained by any prior agreement or relationship with any third party. Executive represents and warrants
that he will not disclose to the Company or use on behalf of the Company any confidential information governed by any agreement with any third party except in accordance with an agreement between the Company and any such third party. During
Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive may use, in the performance of his duties, all information generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to his own and all information which is common knowledge in
the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain. 
 6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. 

 6.1 At-Will Employment. Executive’s relationship with the Company is at-will. The Company shall have the right
to terminate Executive’s employment with the Company at any time with or without Cause and with or without notice. 
 6.2 Termination by Company for Cause. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, Executive’s salary shall cease on the date of termination; and Executive will not be entitled to severance pay,
pay in lieu of notice or any other such compensation. 
  

 3 







 (a) Definition of “Cause.” For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean (i) Executive’s conviction of any felony; (ii) Executive’s gross misconduct, material violation of Company policy, or material breach of Executive’s duties to the Company, which Executive fails
to correct within thirty (30) days after Executive is given written notice by the CEO; or (iii) other events or matters relating to Executive’s job performance or conduct that would ordinarily cause an employer to seriously consider
the termination of an employee’s employment. 
 6.3 Termination by Company Without Cause. If the Company
terminates Executive’s employment at any time without Cause, Executive shall be entitled to severance benefits as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Compensation and Severance Terms Schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 6.4 Executive’s Voluntary Resignation. Executive may terminate his employment with the Company at any time, with or without
Good Reason, and with or without notice. In the event Executive voluntarily terminates his employment other than for Good Reason, he will not be entitled to severance pay, pay in lieu of notice or any other such compensation. 
 6.5 Executive’s Resignation for Good Reason. Executive may resign his employment for Good Reason so long as Executive tenders
his resignation to the Company within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the event which forms the basis for his termination for Good Reason. If Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason, Executive shall be eligible for severance
benefits as set forth in Section 4.2 of Exhibit A, attached hereto. 
 (a) Definition of “Good Reason.”
For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean any one of the following events which occurs on or after the Effective Date: (i) after a Change of Control (as defined in Section 7.1), any reduction of the
Executive’s then existing annual base salary, except to the extent the annual base salary of all other executive officers at levels similar to Executive is similarly reduced (provided such reduction does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of
Executive’s then existing annual base salary); (ii) after a Change of Control, any material reduction in the package of benefits and incentives, taken as a whole, provided to the Executive (except that employee contributions may be raised
to the extent of any cost increases imposed by third parties) or any action by the Company which would materially and adversely affect the Executive’s participation or reduce the Executive’s benefits under any such plans, except to the
extent that such benefits and incentives of all other executive officers at levels similar to Executive are similarly reduced; (iii) after a Change of Control, any material diminution of the Executive’s duties, and responsibilities, taken
as a whole, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial or inadvertent action not taken in bad faith which is remedied by the Company immediately after notice thereof is given by the Executive; (iv) any material breach by the Company
of its obligations under this Agreement; or (v) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of this Agreement by any successor or assign of the Company. 
 6.6 Termination for Death or Disability. Executive’s employment with the Company will be terminated in the event of
Executive’s death, or any illness, disability or other incapacity in such a manner that Executive is physically rendered unable regularly to perform his 

  

 4 







 
duties hereunder for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days or more than one hundred eighty (180) days in any consecutive
twelve (12) month period. The determination regarding whether Executive is physically unable regularly to perform his duties shall be made by the Board. Executive’s inability to be physically present on the Company’s premises shall
not constitute a presumption that Executive is unable to perform such duties. In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for death or disability as described in this Section 6.6, Executive or Executive’s
heirs, successors, and assigns shall not receive any compensation or benefits other than payment of accrued salary and PTO and such other benefits as expressly required in such event by applicable law or the terms of applicable benefit plans.

 6.7 Cessation. If Executive violates any provision of Section 8 of this Agreement or the Employee Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement and Executive fails to correct such violation within ten (10) days after Executive is given written notice by the CEO, then any severance payments or other benefits being provided to Executive will cease
immediately, and Executive will not be entitled to any further compensation from the Company. 
 7. CHANGE
OF CONTROL. 
 7.1 Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, Change of Control
means the occurrence of any of the following: 
 (a) a sale of assets representing fifty percent (50%) or more of
the net book value and of the fair market value of the Company’s consolidated assets (in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions); 
 (b) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; 
 (c) a merger or
consolidation involving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company after the completion of which: (i) in the case of a merger (other than a triangular merger) or a consolidation involving the Company, the shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to the completion of such merger or consolidation beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or comparable successor rules),
directly or indirectly, outstanding voting securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity in such merger or consolidation, and (ii) in the case of a triangular merger involving
the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the completion of such merger beneficially own (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable successor rules),
directly or indirectly, outstanding voting securities representing less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the surviving entity in such merger and less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the
parent of the surviving entity in such merger; 
 (d) an acquisition by any person, entity or “group” (within
the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act or any comparable successor provisions), other than any employee benefit plan, or related trust, sponsored or maintained by the Company or an affiliate of the Company and other than in a
merger or consolidation of the type referred to 

  

 5 







 
in clause “(c)” of this sentence, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or comparable
successor rules) of outstanding voting securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the Company (in a single transaction or series of related transactions); or 
 (e) in the event that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”),
cease for any reason to constitute at least fifty percent (50%) of the Board. (If the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of any new member of the Board is approved by a vote of at least fifty percent
(50%) of the Incumbent Board, such new member of the Board shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.) 
 7.2 Termination After a Change of Control. In the event Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause, or Executive resigns for Good Reason, within ninety (90) days prior to or within twenty-four
(24) months following a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Termination”), then Executive shall be eligible for severance benefits as set forth in Section 4.3 of Exhibit A, attached hereto. 
 7.3 Parachute Payments. In the event that it shall be determined under this Section 7.3 that any payment or benefit to
Executive or for the benefit of Executive or on Executive’s behalf (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement, arrangement or plan with the Company or any Affiliate
(as defined below) (including, without limitation, the severance benefits as set forth in Section 4.3 of Exhibit A, attached hereto) (individually, a “Payment” and collectively, the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise
tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision thereto (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company one or more
additional payments (individually, a “Gross-Up Payment” and collectively, the “Gross-Up Payments”) in an aggregate amount such that the net amount of the Payments and the Gross-Up Payments retained by Executive after the payment
of all Excise Taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect to such Excise Taxes) on the Payments and all federal, state and local income tax, employment taxes and Excise Taxes (including any interest and penalties imposed with respect
to such taxes and Excise Taxes) on the Gross-Up Payments provided for in this Section 7.3, and taking into account any lost or reduced tax deductions on account of the Gross-Up Payments, shall be equal to the Payments. For purposes of this
Section 7.3, an “Affiliate” shall mean any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, any person acquiring ownership or effective control of the Company or ownership of a substantial portion of
the assets of the Company’s assets, or any other person whose relationship to the Company, such successor or such person acquiring ownership or control is such as to require attribution between the parties under Section 318(a) of the Code.

  

 6 







 (a) All determinations required to be made under this Section 7.3, including
whether and when any Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment, and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by the Accountants (as defined below), which shall provide Executive and
the Company with detailed supporting calculations with respect to such Gross-Up Payment within thirty (30) days of the receipt of notice from Executive or the Company that Executive has received or will receive a Payment. For the purposes of
this Section 7.3, the “Accountants” shall mean the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm serving immediately prior to the Change of Control (or other change in ownership or effective control, or change in
ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a corporation, as defined in Section 280G of the Code) with respect to which such determination is being made. In the event that the Accountants are also serving as the accountants, auditors
or consultants for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control (or other change in ownership or effective control, or change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a corporation, as defined in Section 280G
of the Code), the Company shall appoint another nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm, reasonably acceptable to Executive, to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as
the “Accountants” hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne solely by the Company. 
 (b) For the purposes of determining whether any of the Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, such Payments will be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G
of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) of Executive shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in
the opinion of the Accountants, such Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments” or represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered (within the meaning of section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) in
excess of the “base amount,” or such “parachute payments” are otherwise not subject to such Excise Tax. 
 (c) For purposes of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up
Payment is to be made and to pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes
which could be obtained from the deduction of such state or local taxes if paid in such year (determined without regard to limitations on deductions based upon the amount of Executive’s adjusted gross income); and to have otherwise allowable
deductions for federal, state and local income tax purposes at least equal to those disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income. 
 (d) Any determination by the Accountants shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accountants hereunder, it is possible that the Gross-Up Payment made will have been an amount less than the Company should have paid pursuant to this
Section 7.3 (the “Underpayment”). In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.3(f) and Executive is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for Executive’s benefit. 
  

 7 







 (e) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal
Revenue Service or other taxing authority that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall
apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which Executive gives such notice to the
Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes, interest and/or penalties with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that the Company desires
to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request
in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, engaging legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive; (iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith
in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claims; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses, including
attorneys’ fees (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income, employment or other
taxes (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of all related costs and expenses. 
 (f) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3, the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at the Company’s sole option, may pursue or
forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at the Company’s sole option, either direct Executive to pay the
amount claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate
courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall
indemnify Executive for and hold Executive harmless from, on an after-tax basis, any Excise Tax or income, employment or other taxes (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
imputed income with respect to such advance (including as a result of any forgiveness by the Company of such advance); provided, further, that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of taxes, interest and
penalties for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due shall be limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. 
  

 8 







 (g) The Gross-Up Payments provided for in this Section 7.3 shall be paid to
Executive as soon as practicable after the Accountants have determined the amount of such payments, but not earlier than the date the severance benefits are due to Executive under Section 4.4 of the Compensation and Severance Terms Schedule,
attached hereto as Exhibit A and in no event later than the later of (i) the end of the calendar year following the date of termination and (ii) the third calendar month following the date of termination, as permitted under Code
Section 409(A); provided, however, that if the amounts of such Gross-Up Payments cannot be finally determined by the Accountants before the end of this period, the Company shall pay to Executive as of the last day of the period described
above an estimate, as determined in good faith by the Company, of the amount of such Gross-Up Payments. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments exceeds the amount subsequently determined by the Accountants to have been due to the
Executive, such excess shall constitute a loan by the Company to Executive, payable not later than 30 days after such determination and demand by the Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

 8. NONSOLICITATION. While employed by the Company, and for one (1) year following the termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company, Executive agrees not to solicit, attempt to solicit, induce, or otherwise cause any employee or independent contractor of the Company to terminate his or her employment or contractual relationship in
order to become an employee or independent contractor to or for Executive or any other person or entity. 
 9. RELEASE.
In exchange for the severance compensation and benefits provided under this Agreement to which Executive would not otherwise be entitled, Executive shall enter into and execute a release substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as may
be revised and updated as determined to be appropriate by the Company (the “Release”). Unless the Release is executed by Executive following termination of employment, delivered to the Company within twenty-one (21) days after the
Release has been provided to Executive (or forty-five (45) days following Executive’s receipt of the informational package required in the event of a group termination), and not revoked, Executive shall not receive any severance benefits
provided under this Agreement, any vesting acceleration of Executive’s Awards as provided in this Agreement shall not apply, and Executive’s Awards in such event shall vest or, in the case of stock options, be exercisable following the
date of Executive’s termination only to the extent provided under their original terms in accordance with the applicable plan and Award agreements. 
 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 
 10.1 Notices. Any
notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery (including, personal delivery by facsimile transmission) or the third day after mailing by first class mail, to the Company at its primary office
location and to Executive at his address as listed on the Company payroll (which address may be changed by written notice). 
 10.2 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect under any 

  

 9 







 
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, and such
invalid or unenforceable provision shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction so as to render it valid and enforceable consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible. 
 10.3 Waiver. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this Agreement, he or it shall not thereby be deemed to
have waived any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 
 10.4 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, constitute the final, complete, and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between Executive and the Company regarding the subject
matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement, promise, representation, or statement, written or otherwise, between Executive and the Company or any of its affiliates with regard to this subject matter. This Agreement is entered into without
reliance on any promise, representation, statement or agreement other than those expressly contained or incorporated herein, and it cannot be modified or amended except in a writing signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

 10.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need not contain
signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 10.6
Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to affect the meaning thereof. 
 10.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive, the
Company and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, except that Executive may not assign any of his duties hereunder and he may not assign any of his rights hereunder without the written consent of the Company,
which shall not be withheld unreasonably. 
 10.8 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party hereto brings any action or
proceeding to enforce his or its rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action or proceeding. The
Company shall reimburse Executive for his reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, not to exceed $5,000. 
 10.9 Arbitration. To provide a mechanism for rapid and economical dispute resolution, Executive and the Company agree that any and
all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement (including the Release) or its enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation, will be resolved, to the fullest extent permitted by law, by
final, binding, and confidential arbitration held in Los Angeles County, California and conducted by a single arbitrator mutually acceptable to the parties. In the event the parties are unable to agree within thirty days on the selection of an
arbitrator, they shall 

  

 10 







 
submit the matter to the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services/Endispute (“JAMS”), and the arbitrator shall be selected under its
then-existing Rules and Procedures. Nothing in this Section 10.9 or in this Agreement is intended to prevent either Executive or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any
such arbitration. 
 10.10 Remedies. Executive’s duties under Section 8 and the Employee Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement shall survive termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. Executive acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by Executive of the provisions of these sections and the
Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement would be inadequate, and that such a breach would cause irreparable harm to the Company; and Executive therefore agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any
such breach or threatened breach. 
 10.11 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and
interpretation of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of California as applied to contracts made and to be performed entirely within California. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the Effective Date above written.

deductions, in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) twenty four (24) months of Executive’s then base salary; (ii) Executive’s prorated bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, at the Company’s discretion, and
(iii) any amounts payable under paragraph 2(b) of this Exhibit A that have not yet been paid as of the date of such termination. 
 (b) Continued group health insurance benefits (e.g., medical, dental, vision, etc.) at the then-current regular employee rate for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents for a period of up to eighteen
(18) months under COBRA; provided, however, that in any event the Company’s obligation to provide any health benefits pursuant to this sentence ends when Executive becomes eligible for subsidized health insurance with a new employer or
other third party (and Executive agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing of any such event of eligibility). To satisfy its obligations hereunder, the Company, at its election, shall either (i) arrange commercial health care
coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents (which is (x) comparable to the health benefits provided to Executive and his eligible dependents immediately prior to commencement of such commercial health care
coverage, (y) subject to change if such coverage is no longer available, and (z) mutually agreeable to the Company and Executive), or (ii) provide Executive and his eligible dependents continued coverage under the Company’s
health plans. 
 (c) Outplacement services for one year with a nationally recognized service selected by the Company.

 4.2 Executive’s Resignation for Good Reason. If Executive terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason in the
absence of a Change of Control, the Company shall provide to Executive, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit B (as “Effective Date” is defined in the Release), as the only
severance compensation and benefits, the same severance compensation and benefits provided in Section 4.1 hereof.

 4.3 Change of Control Termination. In the event of a Change of Control Termination or if the
Executive resigns for Good Reason within ninety (90) days prior to or twenty-four (24) months following a Change of Control, the Company shall provide to Executive, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of the Release
attached hereto as Exhibit B (as “Effective Date” is defined in the Release), as the only severance compensation and benefits, (a) the same severance compensation and benefits provided in Section 4.1 hereof, (b) two times
Executive’s target bonus to be earned for the year in which termination occurs or the bonus amount paid to the Executive in the prior year, whichever is greater; and (c) any unvested Awards held by Executive shall have their vesting
accelerated in full so as to become one hundred percent (100%) vested and, in the case of stock options, immediately exercisable in full, as of the date of such termination. 
 4.4 Delayed Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4 to the contrary, if the Company determines in good faith that any payment or
benefit under this Section 4, that is payable to Executive on account of a termination of employment with the Company, constitutes a “deferral of compensation” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”) (as set forth in IRS Notice 2005-1, or the Final Treasury Regulations), and that Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then the Company shall delay commencement
of any such payment or benefit until six months after the Effective Date of the Release attached hereto as Exhibit B (as “Effective Date” is defined in the Release) (the “409A Suspension Period”). With respect to any benefits to
be provided by the Company (such as continued health care benefits, if any), Executive shall pay for such benefits directly during the 409A Suspension Period. Within 15 calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the Company shall pay
to Executive a lump sum payment in cash equal to any payments and benefits that the Company would otherwise have been required to provide under this Section 4 but for the imposition of the 409A Suspension Period. Thereafter, Executive shall
receive any remaining payments and benefits due under this Section 4 in accordance with the terms of this Section 4 (as if there had not been any suspension period).

 EXHIBIT B 
 RELEASE AGREEMENT 
 I understand that my position with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
“Company”) terminated effective _______________ (the “Separation Date”). The Company has agreed that if I choose to sign this Release, the Company will, within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date of this Release, pay
me certain severance benefits (minus the standard withholdings and deductions) pursuant to the terms of the Key Employee Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into as of ______________, between myself and the Company, and any agreements
incorporated therein by reference. I understand that I am not entitled to such severance benefits unless I sign this Release. I further understand that, regardless of whether I sign this Release, the Company will pay me all of my accrued salary and
paid time off through the Separation Date, to which I am entitled by law. 
 In consideration for the severance benefits I am receiving under the Agreement,
I hereby release the Company and its officers, directors, agents, attorneys, employees, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates (“Releasees”) from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, attorneys’
fees, damages, or obligations of every kind and nature, whether they are now known or unknown, arising at any time prior to the date I sign this Release. This general release includes, but is not limited to: all federal and state statutory and
common law claims, claims related to my employment or the termination of my employment or related to breach of contract, tort, wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, defamation, fraud, wages or benefits, or claims for any form of equity
or compensation. Notwithstanding the release in the preceding sentence, I am not releasing any right of indemnification I may have for any liabilities and costs of defense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from
my actions within the course and scope of my employment with the Company. 
 In releasing claims unknown to me at present, I am waiving all rights and
benefits under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his
favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 
 If I am forty
(40) years of age or older as of the Separation Date, I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”). I
also acknowledge that the consideration given for the waiver in the above paragraph is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I have been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA that: (a) my waiver and
release do not apply to any claims that may arise after my signing of this Release; (b) I should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release; (c) I have twenty-one (21) days (forty-five (45) days in the event of a
group termination) within which to consider this Release (although I may choose to voluntarily execute this Release earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this release to revoke the Release; and (e) this
Release will not be effective until the eighth day after this Release has been signed both by me and by the Company (“Effective Date”). 
 I
acknowledge that I remain bound by the Employee Proprietary Information and Invention Agreement which I signed in connection with my employment (“Invention Agreement”) and that the provisions of the Invention Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect. In accordance with my existing and continuing obligations under the Invention Agreement, I have returned to the Company all materials required to be returned pursuant to the Invention Agreement, as well as any other Company
property in my possession. In consideration for the severance benefits I am receiving hereunder, I agree that I will reasonably cooperate with the Company after the 







 
Separation Date to assure the smooth transition of pending matters and to answer questions which may arise from time to time regarding my former duties and
responsibilities. Effective as of the Separation Date, I resign any and all offices and directorships with the Company and any of its affiliates, and will execute all documents reasonably requested by the Company or its affiliates to effectuate such
resignations. Further, I agree that I will not hereafter disparage the Company or any of the Releasees, either orally or in writing, to any person or entity. The Company agrees that its officers and directors will not disparage me, either orally or
in writing, to any person or entity.
