RECITALS:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2019 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), as amended, by and among Pfizer Inc., Upjohn Inc., Mylan N.V. and the other parties thereto, Executive became Executive Chairman of the Company upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive wish to set forth the terms of his employment as Executive Chairman, effective as of November 16, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual obligations of the parties contained herein, and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:
1.Employment of Executive; Position and Duties.  The Executive shall serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and shall be employed by the Company as “Executive Chairman”.  In the role of Executive Chairman, the Executive shall have such duties, roles and responsibilities consistent with such position, including but not limited to those described on Schedule A hereto, or as are otherwise agreed upon from time to time by the Executive and the Board.  The Executive shall report directly to the Board.  The Executive’s principal work location will be the Company’s office located in Los Angeles, California, but the Executive acknowledges that he will be required to engage in substantial domestic and international travel in accordance with the Company’s business needs from time to time.
2.Effective Date; Term of Employment.  This Agreement shall commence and be effective as of the Effective Date, and shall terminate at the close of business on December 31, 2025 (the “Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or extended by mutual written agreement of the parties (the period during which the Executive is employed pursuant to this Agreement, the “Term of Employment”).  
3.Executive’s Compensation.  During the Term of Employment, the Executive’s compensation shall include the following:
(a)Annual Base Salary.  The Executive’s annual base salary as of the Effective Date shall be equal to $1,800,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices for its executive officers.

The base salary as in effect from time to time in accordance with this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Base Salary.”
(b)Annual Bonus.  The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual executive incentive or bonus plan (or the corresponding plan of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate), with the opportunity to receive an annual award in respect of each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Term of Employment in accordance with the terms and conditions of such plan and based on the achievement of pre-determined performance metrics that are no less favorable than those established for other senior executives of the Company, with a minimum target bonus opportunity equal to 150% of the highest Base Salary during such year.  In no event will the Company exercise negative discretion to reduce the Executive’s bonus below the amount payable based on the achievement of the pre-determined performance metrics.  Such bonus shall be paid no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the annual award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, which, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, shall be the last day of the applicable performance year (subject to confirmation that the applicable performance goals have been achieved as of such date).  
(c)Annual Long-Term Incentive Compensation.  During the Term of Employment, the Executive shall receive annual grants of long-term incentive awards with a grant date value equal to 600% of the Base Salary pursuant to the long-term incentive and equity plans of the Company (or the corresponding plan of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate).  The type of awards granted each year shall be consistent with the grants awarded to other members of senior management and the vesting criteria (including upon termination of employment) shall be consistent with the terms applicable to long-term incentive awards granted to the Executive during his previous tenure as Executive Chairman of Mylan N.V.  
(d)One-Time Award.  In recognition of the Executive’s strategic leadership of Mylan N.V. prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Executive’s outstanding performance in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Executive’s willingness to serve as Executive Chairman to lead the strategy for Viatris and his expected leadership, direction and efforts following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, the Executive shall receive a lump-sum cash payment of $10 million, which shall be payable no later than the first payroll date following the Effective Date.
(e)Value Creation Incentive Award.  The Executive shall be granted 1.6 million performance-based restricted stock units (the “Value Creation Incentive Award”) in accordance with the terms of the award agreement attached hereto as Schedule B (the “Award Agreement”).
(f)Chairman Retention RSUs.  The unvested portion of the Executive’s Chairman Retention RSUs (as defined in the letter agreement dated June 3, 2016, 

3

between Mylan N.V. and Executive) shall remain eligible for continued vesting in accordance with the terms of the Chairman Retention RSUs and this Agreement.
(g)Fringe Benefits and Expense Reimbursement.  The Executive shall receive such benefits and perquisites of employment as were provided to the Executive immediately prior to the Executive’s retirement from the Company in 2016; provided, however, that the Executive shall participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs on no less favorable terms than the Company’s other senior executives.  Because of persistent and serious security concerns, the Executive shall be entitled to usage of the Company’s aircraft for the Executive and the Executive’s family for business and personal purposes.  The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all ordinary and necessary business expenses in accordance with established Company policy and procedures.
4.Confidentiality.  The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that the business interests of the Company and its subsidiaries, parents and affiliates (collectively, the “Affiliated Companies”) require a confidential relationship between the Affiliated Companies and the Executive and the fullest protection and confidential treatment of the financial data, customer information, supplier information, market information, marketing and/or promotional techniques and methods, pricing information, purchase information, sales policies, employee lists, policy and procedure information, records, advertising information, computer records, trade secrets, know-how, plans and programs, sources of supply and other knowledge of the business of the Affiliated Companies (all of which are hereinafter jointly termed “Confidential Information”) which have or may in whole or in part be conceived, learned or obtained by the Executive in the course of the Executive’s employment with the Company or service on the Board of the Company and Mylan N.V.  Accordingly, the Executive agrees to keep secret and treat as confidential all Confidential Information whether or not copyrightable or patentable, and agrees not to knowingly use or aid others in learning of or using any Confidential Information except in the ordinary course of business and in furtherance of the Affiliated Companies’ interests.  During the Term of Employment and at all times thereafter, except insofar as the Executive believes in good faith that disclosure is consistent with the Affiliated Companies’ business interests:
(a)The Executive will not knowingly disclose any Confidential Information to anyone outside the Affiliated Companies;
(b)The Executive will not make copies of or otherwise knowingly disclose the contents of documents containing or constituting Confidential Information;
(c)As to documents which are delivered to the Executive or which are made available to him as a necessary part of the working relationships and duties of the Executive within the business of the Affiliated Companies, the Executive will treat such documents confidentially and will treat such documents as proprietary and confidential, not to be knowingly reproduced, disclosed or used without appropriate authority of the Affiliated Companies;

4

(d)The Executive will not knowingly advise others that the information and/or know-how included in Confidential Information is known to or used by the Affiliated Companies; and
(e)The Executive will not in any manner knowingly disclose or use Confidential Information for the Executive’s own account and will not knowingly aid, assist or abet others in the use of Confidential Information for their account or benefit, or for the account or benefit of any person or entity other than the Affiliated Companies.
The obligations set forth in this paragraph are in addition to any other agreements the Executive may have with the Company and any and all rights the Company may have under state or federal statutes or common law.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 4 shall not apply (i) when disclosure is required by law or by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body (including any committee thereof) with actual or apparent jurisdiction to order the Executive to disclose or make accessible any information, (ii) with respect to any other litigation, arbitration or mediation involving this Agreement or other agreement between the Executive or the Company or any Affiliated Company, including, but not limited to, the enforcement of any such agreement, (iii) as to information that becomes generally known to the public or within the relevant trade or industry other than due to the Executive’s violation of this Section 4 or (iv) as to information that is or becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to disclose it to the Executive.
Nothing in or about this Agreement prohibits the Executive from: (i) filing and, as provided for under Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), maintaining the confidentiality of a claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) providing Confidential Information or information about this Agreement or any Affiliated Company to the SEC, or providing the SEC with information that would otherwise violate any section of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 21F of the Exchange Act, (iii) cooperating, participating or assisting in an SEC investigation or proceeding without notifying the Company or (iv) receiving a monetary award as set forth in Section 21F of the Exchange Act. 
The Executive is advised that the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of any Confidential Information or information about this Agreement or any Affiliated Company that constitutes a trade secret to which the Defend Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S.C. § 1833(b)) applies that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in each case, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or proceeding, if such filings are made under seal.
5.Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.  The Executive agrees that during the Term of Employment and for a period ending two (2) years, in the case of clauses (a) and (b), or one (1) year, in the case of clause (c), after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Affiliated Companies (a “Termination of Employment”) for any reason:

5

(a)The Executive shall not whether for himself or for any other person, company, corporation or other entity be or become associated in any way (including but not limited to the association set forth in (i)-(vii) of this subsection) with any business or organization which is directly or indirectly engaged in the research, development, manufacture, production, marketing, promotion or sale of any product the same as or similar to those of the Affiliated Companies, or which competes or has announced an intention to compete in any line of business with the Affiliated Companies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may during the period in which this paragraph is in effect own stock or other interests in corporations or other entities that engage in businesses the same or substantially similar to those engaged in by the Affiliated Companies, provided that the Executive does not, directly or indirectly (including without limitation as the result of ownership or control of another corporation or other entity), individually or as part of a group (as that term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) (i) control or have the ability to control the corporation or other entity, (ii) provide to the corporation or entity, whether as an executive, consultant or otherwise, advice or consultation, (iii) provide to the corporation or entity any confidential or proprietary information regarding the Affiliated Companies or their businesses or regarding the conduct of businesses similar to those of the Affiliated Companies, (iv) hold or have the right by contract or arrangement or understanding with other parties to hold a position on the board of directors or other governing body of the corporation or entity or have the right by contract or arrangement or understanding with other parties to elect one or more persons to any such position, (v) hold a position as an officer of the corporation or entity, (vi) have the purpose to change or influence the control of the corporation or entity (other than solely by the voting of his shares or ownership interest) or (vii) have a business or other relationship, by contract or otherwise, with the corporation or entity other than as a passive investor in it; provided, however, that the Executive may vote his shares or ownership interest in such manner as he chooses provided that such action does not otherwise violate the prohibitions set forth in this section.
(b)The Executive will not either for himself or for any other person, partnership, firm, company, corporation or other entity, contact, solicit, divert or take away any of the customers or suppliers of the Affiliated Companies.
(c)The Executive will not (i) solicit, entice or otherwise induce any employee of the Affiliated Companies to leave the employ of the Affiliated Companies for any reason whatsoever, (ii) knowingly aid, assist or abet any other person or entity in soliciting or hiring any employee of the Affiliated Companies or (iii) otherwise interfere with any contractual or other business relationships between the Affiliated Companies and their employees.
6.Severability.  Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that any section or sub-section of this Agreement is unenforceable because one or all of them are vague or overly broad, the parties agree that this Agreement may and shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.  It is the intent of the parties that each section and sub-section of this 

6

Agreement be a separate and distinct promise and that unenforceability of any one subsection shall have no effect on the enforceability of another.
7.Injunctive Relief.  The parties agree that in the event of the Executive’s material violation of Sections 4 and/or 5 of this Agreement or any subsection thereunder, that the damage to the Company will be irreparable and that money damages will be difficult or impossible to ascertain.  Accordingly, in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, the Executive recognizes and agrees that the Company shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and a temporary and permanent injunction enjoining and prohibiting any acts not permissible pursuant to this Agreement.
8.Termination of Employment.
(a)Resignation.  The Executive may resign from employment, whether or not the Executive resigns from the Board in connection with such resignation, without Good Reason (as defined below) at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Company.  During the thirty (30)-day period following the date on which the Executive gives notice, the Executive will make himself available to continue to perform the duties specified on Schedule A and will use his reasonable best efforts to effect a smooth and effective transition to the person (if any) who will replace the Executive.  The Company reserves the right to accelerate the effective date of the Executive’s resignation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive resigns with Good Reason (as defined below), he shall be entitled to resign immediately upon written notice to the Company and without any obligation to provide transition services.  If the Executive resigns without Good Reason (whether during or after the Term of Employment), then the Executive shall be provided with wages and benefits through the effective date of the Executive’s resignation and any vested benefits payable to the Executive under plans and agreements of the Company or any Affiliated Company and any amounts payable to Executive under any agreement between the Executive and any of the Affiliated Companies (collectively the “Accrued Benefits”). 
The Executive will continue to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement that survive the Executive’s Termination of Employment.
(b)Termination for Cause.  The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence after the Effective Date of: (i) the Executive’s willful and continued gross neglect of duties under this Agreement (other than resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or following the Executive’s delivery of a notice of termination for Good Reason (as defined herein)), (ii) the willful commission by the Executive of a felony that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or the Affiliated Companies or (iii) the willful engaging by the Executive in gross misconduct in connection with his employment with the Company that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or the Affiliated Companies which, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), has not been cured within 30 days after a written notice is delivered to the Executive by the Board that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board 

7

believes that the Executive has willfully and continuously grossly neglected his duties under this Agreement or has willfully engaged in gross misconduct in connection with his employment with the Company that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company or the Affiliated Companies.  No act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without the belief that the Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company or the Affiliated Companies.  Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company or the Affiliated Companies shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company or the Affiliated Companies.  The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive, to be heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Cause exists and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.  In the event of a dispute concerning the existence of “Cause,” any claim by the Executive that “Cause” does not exist shall be presumed correct unless the Company establishes to a court of competent jurisdiction that Cause exists by clear and convincing evidence.  If the Executive is terminated for Cause (at any time, whether during or after the Term of Employment), then the Executive shall be provided with the Accrued Benefits. 
(c)Termination of Employment by the Executive With Good Reason or by the Company Without Cause or Upon Expiration of the Term.  If the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment by the Executive with Good Reason or the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause (in either case at any time, whether during or after the Term of Employment) or the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment upon expiration of the Term, whether or not the Executive resigns from the Board in connection with such termination, then:
(i) the Executive shall be paid (A) the Accrued Benefits, (B) an amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to three (3) times the Executive’s “Annual Cash Compensation,” as hereafter defined, and (C) a prorated annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs (the “Pro Rata Bonus”), such Pro Rata Bonus to be determined by reference to the bonus that the Executive would have earned under Section 3(b) based on actual performance for the relevant fiscal year had the Executive’s employment not terminated, with the resulting amount pro-rated to reflect the number of days elapsed in the fiscal year, through and including the date on which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs.  The Severance Amount shall be paid in a lump sum within ten days after the date of the Executive’s Termination of Employment, and the Pro-Rata Bonus shall be paid at the time such annual bonus 

8

would have been paid had the Executive remained employed.  For purposes of this Section 8(c)(i), the Executive’s “Annual Cash Compensation” shall mean the sum of (I) the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such termination or, if earlier, immediately prior to the first act constituting Good Reason hereunder plus (II) the higher of (x) the highest annual bonus awarded to the Executive following the Effective Date and (y) the Executive’s full target bonus for the year of termination;
(ii) for three years following such Termination of Employment (the “Welfare Benefit Continuation Period”), the Company shall continue to provide benefits to the Executive and/or the Executive’s dependents at least equal to those that were provided to them (taking into account any required employee contributions, co-payments and similar costs imposed on the Executive and the Executive’s dependents and the tax treatment of participation in the plans, programs, practices and policies by the Executive and the Executive’s dependents) by or on behalf of the Company and/or any affiliate in accordance with the benefit plans, programs, practices and policies (including those provided in Section 3(g) or otherwise under this Agreement) in effect immediately prior to the Executive’s Termination of Employment or, if more favorable to the Executive, as in effect any time thereafter with respect to the chief executive officer of the Company and his or her dependents; provided, however, that, if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive such benefits under another employer provided plan, program, practice or policy, the medical and other welfare benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan, program, practice or policy during such applicable period of eligibility (the “Welfare Benefit Continuation Payments”).  For the avoidance of doubt, following the Welfare Benefit Continuation Period, the Executive shall participate in the 2007 Supplemental Health Insurance Plan for Certain Key Executives of Mylan Laboratories Inc. (the “Supplemental Health Insurance Plan”) on the terms and conditions set forth in such plan, and shall make premium contributions on the same basis as other participants in such plan.  The parties agree to cooperate such that the Welfare Benefit Continuation Payments and the benefits provided under the Supplemental Health Insurance Plan are, to the extent practicable, provided in a manner so as to minimize adverse tax consequences to the Company under Section 4980D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  In the event the Executive and/or the Executive’s dependents are no longer eligible to participate in any plan, program, practice or policy following such Termination of Employment that were provided to them prior to such Termination of Employment as contemplated by this Section 8(c)(ii) or the Supplemental Health Insurance Plan, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the cost for him to obtain substantially comparable benefits for himself and his dependents;
(iii) (A) all then outstanding equity-based awards held by the Executive (including the Chairman Retention RSUs) shall become fully vested, exercisable 

9

and free of restrictions (with any performance-based awards payable at deemed target level achievement) and (B) all then outstanding stock options previously granted to the Executive shall remain exercisable for the maximum term prescribed under the terms of the applicable stock option grant (clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Equity Award Acceleration”).  To the extent any such equity-based awards are subject to Section 409A of the Code, they shall be paid or settled at the earliest time permissible that would not result in the imposition of any tax or tax penalty under Section 409A of the Code; 
(iv) notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any outstanding portion of the Value Creation Incentive Award shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and shall vest in full;
(v) the Executive will continue to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement that survive Termination of Employment.
“Good Reason” shall mean: (i) the assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive’s position as Executive Chairman (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement, or any other diminution in such position (or removal from such position), authority, duties, responsibilities or conditions of employment (whether or not occurring solely as a result of the Company ceasing to be a publicly traded entity or becoming a subsidiary or a division of a publicly traded entity), in each case excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive, (ii) a reduction in Executive’s Base Salary, target annual bonus or target long-term incentive award opportunity as in effect from time to time, (iii) failure to nominate the Executive as a member of the Board, removal of the Executive from (or failure to re-elect the Executive to) the position of Executive Chairman of the Board or the appointment of an individual other than the Executive to serve as Chairman of the Board, (iv) any failure by the Company to comply with any of the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive, (v) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location without the consent of the Executive, (vi) any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 16 of this Agreement or (vii) any other breach of this Agreement by the Company, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent breach that is not taken in bad faith and that is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by the Executive.
The Executive’s continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder.  In connection with any dispute regarding the existence of Good Reason, any claim by the Executive that Good Reason exists shall be presumed to be correct unless the Company establishes to a 

10

court of competent jurisdiction that Good Reason does not exist by clear and convincing evidence.
(d)Death.  The employment of the Executive shall automatically terminate upon the Executive’s death.  Upon such Termination of Employment as a result of death (at any time, whether during or after the Term of Employment), the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries (i) the Accrued Benefits, (ii) a pro-rated target annual bonus (the “Pro Rata Target Bonus”) equal to (I) the target bonus for the year in which Termination of Employment occurs, multiplied by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year through and including the date on which the Executive’s Termination of Employment occurs, and the denominator of which shall be the number 365, (iii) the Severance Amount reduced (but not below zero) by any death benefits to which the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries are entitled pursuant to plans or arrangements of the Company (the “Modified Severance Amount”), (iv) the Welfare Benefit Continuation Payments and (v) the Equity Award Acceleration.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of the Executive’s death, the Pro Rata Target Bonus and the Modified Severance Amount shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive’s estate or beneficiaries within ten (10) days after the Executive’s Termination of Employment.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of the Executive’s death, any outstanding portion of the Value Creation Incentive Award shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and shall vest in full. 
(e)Disability.  The Company shall have the right to terminate the Executive’s employment in the event of the Executive’s Disability.  Upon such Termination of Employment as a result of Disability (at any time, whether during or after the Term of Employment), the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (i) the Accrued Benefits, (ii) the Pro Rata Target Bonus, (iii) the Severance Amount, (iv) the Welfare Benefit Continuation Payments and (v) the Equity Award Acceleration.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of Disability, the Pro Rata Target Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum to the Executive within ten (10) days after the Executive’s Termination of Employment.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of Disability, the Severance Amount shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Executive’s Termination of Employment.  “Disability” shall mean the Executive’s inability to perform his duties hereunder due to any medically determinable mental, physical or emotional impairment which has lasted for a period of at least twelve (12) consecutive months.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment as a result of Disability, any outstanding portion of the Value Creation Incentive Award shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and shall vest in full.
(f)Return of Company Property.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason, the Executive shall promptly return to the Company all records, memoranda, files, notes, papers, correspondence, reports, documents, books, diskettes, hard drives, electronic files, and all copies or abstracts thereof that the Executive has concerning the Company’s business.  The Executive shall also promptly 

11

return all keys, identification cards or badges and other Company property.  Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 8(f) shall prevent the Executive from retaining a home computer and security system, papers and other materials of a personal nature, including personal diaries, calendars and contact lists, information relating to the Executive’s compensation or relating to reimbursement of expenses, information that the Executive reasonably believes may be needed for tax purposes, and copies of plans, programs and agreements relating to the Executive’s employment, subject to the Executive’s compliance with Section 4.
(g)No Duty to Mitigate; Disputes.  There shall be no requirement on the part of the Executive to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate damages in order to be entitled to the full amount of any payments and benefits to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under this Agreement (at any time, whether during or after the Term of Employment), and the amount of such payments and benefits shall not be subject to any set off or reduced by any compensation or benefits received by the Executive from other employment.  The Company’s obligation to make payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any forfeiture, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against the Executive or others, whether based on contractual, fiduciary or other claims.  In the event of any dispute between the Executive and the Company regarding the Executive’s right to payment under this Section 8 or otherwise, except as set forth below, the Company agrees that, notwithstanding any such dispute, the Company will not for any reason withhold payment of any amounts that the Executive would have been entitled to receive under Section 8(a) of this Agreement or otherwise had his employment ended by reason of resignation thereunder.
(h)Cooperation.  Upon the Executive’s Termination of Employment for any reason, the Company and the Executive shall mutually cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation of a press release or other public announcement relating to such Termination of Employment.
(i)Section 280G Matters.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, program, arrangement, agreement or policy with or maintained by any of the Affiliated Companies: 
(i) In the event it is determined by a mutually agreed independent nationally recognized public accounting firm, which is engaged and paid for by the Company prior to the consummation of any transaction constituting a Change of Control (which for purposes of this Section 8(i) shall mean a change in ownership or control as determined in accordance with the regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Code), which accounting firm shall in no event be the accounting firm for the entity seeking to effectuate the Change of Control (the “Accountant”), which determination shall be certified by the Accountant and set forth in a certificate delivered to the Executive not less than ten (10) business days prior to the Change of Control setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the 

12

Accountant’s calculations (including any assumptions that the Accountant made in performing the calculations), that part or all of the consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to the Executive under this Agreement constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, then, if the aggregate present value of such parachute payments, singularly or together with the aggregate present value of any consideration, compensation or benefits to be paid to the Executive under any other plan, arrangement or agreement which constitute “parachute payments” (collectively, the “Parachute Amount”) exceeds the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code, the amounts constituting “parachute payments” which would otherwise be payable to the Executive or for his benefit shall be reduced to the maximum amount that would not give rise to any liability under Section 4999 of the Code (the “Reduced Amount”); provided that such amounts shall not be so reduced if the Accountant determines that without such reduction the Executive would be entitled to receive and retain, on a net after-tax basis (including, without limitation, any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code), an amount which is greater than the amount, on a net after-tax basis, that the Executive would be entitled to retain upon receipt of the Reduced Amount. In connection with making determinations under this Section 8(i), the Accountant shall take into account any positions to mitigate any excise taxes payable under Section 4999 of the Code, such as the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Executive before or after the Change of Control, including any amounts payable to the Executive following the Executive’s Termination of Employment with respect to any non-competition provisions that may apply to the Executive, and the Company shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions.
(ii) If the determination made pursuant to Section 8(i)(i) results in a reduction of the payments that would otherwise be paid to the Executive except for the application of Section 8(i)(i), the Company shall promptly give the Executive notice of such determination. Such reduction in payments shall be first applied to reduce any cash payments that the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive (whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) and shall thereafter be applied to reduce other payments and benefits, in each case, in reverse order beginning with the payments or benefits that are to be paid the furthest in time from the date of such determination, unless, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the Executive elects to have the reduction in payments applied in a different order; provided that, in no event may such payments be reduced in a manner that would result in subjecting the Executive to additional taxation under Section 409A of the Code.
(iii) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code at the time of a determination hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the Executive’s benefit pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so

paid or distributed (each, an “Overpayment”) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the Executive’s benefit pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (each, an “Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder.  In the event that the Accountant, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against either the Company or the Executive which the Accountant believes has a high probability of success, determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the Executive’s benefit shall be repaid by the Executive to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes.  In the event that the Accountant, based on controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the Executive’s benefit together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code.
(j)For the avoidance of doubt, in the event (i) the parties do not extend this Agreement by mutual written agreement or execute a new written agreement, (ii) the Executive’s employment with the Company continues following the expiration of the Term and (iii) thereafter the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment by the Executive with Good Reason, the Executive experiences a Termination of Employment by the Company without Cause or the Executive’s employment terminates as a result of his death or Disability, the Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in this Section 8 as if such termination occurred during the Term. 
9.Indemnification.  The Company shall maintain D&O liability coverage pursuant to which the Executive shall be a covered insured.  The Executive shall receive indemnification in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws in effect as of the date of this Agreement.  Such indemnification shall be contractual in nature and shall remain in effect notwithstanding any future change to the Company’s Bylaws.
To the extent not otherwise limited by the Company’s Bylaws in effect as of the date of this Agreement, in the event that the Executive is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, (including those brought by or in the right of the Company) whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer, employee or agent of, or is or was serving the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company or another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, the Executive shall be indemnified and 

14

held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by law against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection therewith.  Such right shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by the Executive in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by the Executive while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding will be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the Executive, to repay all amounts to Company so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that the Executive is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.
Promptly after receipt by the Executive of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding for which the Executive may be entitled to be indemnified, the Executive shall notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to notify the Company shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9 unless and to the extent that it has been prejudiced in a material respect by such failure or from the forfeiture of substantial rights and defenses).  If any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Executive and he notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the Executive promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from the Executive, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Executive, which may be the same counsel as counsel to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall have the right to employ his own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Executive unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Company, (ii) the Company shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Executive to take charge of the defense of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Executive shall have reasonably concluded, after consultation with counsel to the Executive, that a conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Company not advisable (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Executive), in any of which events such fees and expenses of one additional counsel shall be borne by the Company.
Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim or action effected without its written consent.
10.Legal Fees.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9 of this Agreement, the Company shall advance to the Executive all costs (including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Executive in disputing in good faith any issue hereunder relating to the termination of the Executive’s employment, in seeking in good faith to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or any agreement or arrangement referenced herein, or, to the extent attributable to the application of Section 4999 of the Code to any payment or benefit provided hereunder, in connection with any tax audit or 

15

proceeding.  Such advancements shall be made promptly upon delivery of the Executive’s written request for payment accompanied by appropriate evidence of the related costs (regardless of, and not contingent upon, the outcome of any such dispute).  In addition, the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all reasonable legal, consulting and other fees and expenses incurred by Executive in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement.
11.Other Agreements.  The rights and obligations contained in this Agreement are in addition to and not in place of any rights or obligations contained in any other agreements between the Executive and the Company, including without limitation the Supplemental Health Insurance Plan and the Company’s VIP Plan.  This Agreement supersedes the Executive’s employment agreement with Mylan N.V. dated as of April 15, 2020.

16

16.Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all of its provisions, rights and obligations shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the Company’s successors and assigns.  This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to any person, firm or corporation which shall become the owner of substantially all of the assets of the Company or which shall succeed to the business of the Company; provided, however, that in the event of any such assignment the Company shall obtain an instrument in writing from the assignee in which such assignee assumes the obligations of the Company hereunder and shall deliver an executed copy thereof to the Executive.  No right or interest to or in any payments or benefits hereunder shall be assignable by the Executive; provided, however, that this provision shall not preclude him from designating one or more beneficiaries to receive any amount that may be payable after his death and shall not preclude the legal representative of his estate from assigning any right hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto under his will or, in the case of intestacy, to the person or persons entitled thereto under the laws of intestacy applicable to his estate.  The term “beneficiaries” as used in this Agreement shall mean a beneficiary or beneficiary or beneficiaries so designated to receive any such amount, or if no beneficiary has been so designated, the legal representative of the Executive’s estate.  No right, benefit, or interest hereunder, shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, hypothecation, or set-off in respect of any claim, debt, or obligation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process, or assignment by operation of law.  Any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any action specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be null, void, and of no effect.
17.Choice of Law and Forum.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed in all respects by, the laws of the State of New York.  The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, that it is not subject to this Agreement or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a court.  The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court exclusive jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 12 or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.  The Executive and the Company (on its behalf and on behalf of its affiliates) each hereby waives any right to a trial by jury with respect to any dispute described in this Section 17; provided that the Executive does not waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any action in which he alleges a breach by the Company of its obligations under the last sentence of Section 8(g) hereof.

17

18.Headings.  The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement.
19.Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
20.Survivorship.  The obligations of the Company and the Executive under this Agreement which by their nature may require either partial or total performance after the expiration of the Term of Employment (including, without limitation, those under Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 hereof) shall survive such expiration.
21.Conditions to Payment and Acceleration; Section 409A of the Code.  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Executive shall not be considered to have terminated employment with the Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to the Executive under this Agreement until the Executive would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  For purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and any payments described in this Agreement that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise.  To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Executive’s termination of employment shall instead be paid on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executive’s termination of employment (or death, if earlier).  To the extent required to avoid an accelerated or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, amounts reimbursable to the Executive under this Agreement shall be paid to the Executive on or before the last day of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred and the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement (and in-kind benefits provided to the Executive) during any one year may not effect amounts reimbursable or provided in any subsequent year; provided, however, that with respect to any reimbursements for any taxes which the Executive would become entitled to under the terms of the Agreement, the payment of such reimbursements shall be made by the Company no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive remits the related taxes.

Exhibit 10.25
FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [                ], between Viatris Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [                ] (“Indemnitee”).
WHEREAS, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”) provide for indemnification of and the payment of expenses to a director or officer of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law; 
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws specifically provide that the rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses are not exclusive to any other right to which any person may be entitled under any agreement;
WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company that it be able to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;
WHEREAS, corporate litigation subjects directors and officers to litigation risks and expenses, and the limitations on the availability of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance may make it difficult to attract and retain such persons;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to provide Indemnitee with specific contractual assurance of Indemnitee’s rights to indemnification against litigation risks and expenses (regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and any other organizational documents of the Company, each as amended from time to time (the “Organizational Documents”), or any change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of its Board of Directors) which indemnification is intended to be greater than that which is afforded by the Organizational Documents; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this Agreement with Indemnitee.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s service as a director or officer of the Company, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.    Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement:
(a)    A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 20% or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, (A) individuals who at the beginning of such 

period constitute the Board of Directors and (B) any new director whose appointment by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (other than, in the case of this clause (B), individuals that are initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of any person other than the Board of Directors), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of transactions) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
(b)    “Company Status” describes the status of a person who is serving or has served at any time (i) as a director or officer of the Company or of any Subsidiary, including as a member of any committee of the Board of Directors, or (ii) any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in any capacity at the request of the Company.  
(c)    “Control” shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
(d)    “Disinterested Director” shall mean a director of the Company who is not and was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by Indemnitee.
(e)    “Expenses” shall mean all direct and indirect fees, costs and expenses reasonably and actually incurred in connection with any Proceeding (as defined below), including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and retainers, fees and disbursements of expert witnesses, private investigators and professional advisors (including, without limitation, accountants and investment bankers), court costs, arbitration costs and fees, transcript costs, costs of investigation, witness fees, fees and expenses of experts, travel expenses, duplicating, printing and binding costs, telephone and fax transmission charges, postage, delivery services, secretarial services and other disbursements and expenses, and shall also specifically include, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with preparing and submitting any requests or statements for indemnification, advancement, contribution or any other right provided by this Agreement.
(f)    “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company or Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee under this 
2

Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.
(g)    “Liabilities” shall mean judgments, damages, deficiencies, liabilities, losses, penalties, excise taxes, fines, awards assessments and amounts paid in settlement, including any interest and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payment under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (and any such taxes attributable thereto).
(h)    “Person” shall mean any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, unincorporated organization or association, trust (including the trustees thereof in their capacity as such) or other entity (including any governmental entity), whether organized under the laws of (or, in the case of individuals, resident in) the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) or any foreign jurisdiction.
(i)    “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution process, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing, appeal, or any other proceeding (including without limitation, stockholder claims, actions, demands, suits, proceedings, investigations and arbitrations), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, investigative or otherwise, whether formal or informal and whether pending on, before or after the date of this Agreement, including a proceeding initiated by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 to enforce Indemnitee’s rights hereunder.
(j)    “Subsidiary” shall mean any corporation, partner    ship, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other Person of which the Company owns (either directly or through or together with another Subsidiary of the Company) either (i) a general partner, managing member or other similar interest or (ii) (A) more than 50% of the voting power of the voting capital equity interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other Person, or (B) more than 50% of the outstanding voting capital stock or other voting equity interests of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other Person.
(k)    “Voting Securities” shall mean any securities which vote generally in the election of directors.
2.    Agreement to Indemnify.
(a)    Proceedings Other Than Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(a) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company (which is the subject of Section 2(b)) or a Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 7 to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. Pursuant to this Section 2(a), Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if 
3

Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful (provided that, to the extent that a change in applicable law permits the Company to provide greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Organizational Documents and this Section 2(a), Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Section 2(a) the greater benefits so afforded by such change). 
(b)    Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Indemnitee shall be entitled to the rights of indemnification provided in this Section 2(b) if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the Company. Pursuant to this Section 2(b), Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification for Liabilities and Expenses shall be made under this Section 2(b) in respect of any claim, issue or matter in a Proceeding as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which the Proceeding was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such Expenses as the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that a change in applicable law permits the Company to provide greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Organizational Documents and this Section 2(b), Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Section 2(b) the greater benefits so afforded by such change.
(c)    Indemnification for Expenses and Liabilities of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in circumstances where indemnification is not available under Section 2(a) or 2(b), as the case may be, and to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses and Liabilities incurred or paid by Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
3.    Contribution in the Event of Joint Liability.
(a)    Whether or not the indemnification provided in Sections 2 or 4 hereof is available to Indemnitee, in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount of any judgment or settlement of such 
4

Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment.  The right of the Company to enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding) is subject to the requirements of Section 6(j).
(b)    Without diminishing or impairing the obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding subparagraph, if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required to pay all or any portion of any judgment or settlement in, or otherwise incurs any Expenses or Liabilities in connection with, any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses and Liabilities incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the events that resulted in such Expenses or Liabilities, as well as any other equitable considerations which the law may require to be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary, and the degree to which their conduct is active or passive.
(c)    The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from any claims of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee.
4.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Witness or in Response to a Subpoena. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status, a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, or receives a subpoena or similar order in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses or Liabilities paid or incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith and in the manner set forth in this Agreement.
5.    Advancement of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding by reason of Indemnitee’s Company Status within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding, without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification, and such advancement of Expenses shall continue until such time (if any) as there is a final non-appealable judicial determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification against such Expenses.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence 
5

the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such Expenses, or the applicable portion thereof, if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable judicial determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Any advances and undertakings to repay pursuant to this Section 5 shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitee’s financial ability to repay such Expenses.
6.    Procedures and Presumptions for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. It is the intent of this Agreement to secure for Indemnitee rights of indemnity that are at least as favorable as may be permitted under the Organizational Documents, applicable law and public policy of the State of Delaware, in each case as may hereafter be changed, to the extent such change permits the Company to provide greater indemnification than is afforded currently under this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following procedures and presumptions shall apply in the event of any question as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement:  
(a)    To obtain indemnification (including, but not limited to, contribution by the Company) under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee.
(b)    Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto, if required by applicable law, shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods: (1) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (or by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors), even though less than a quorum, or (B) if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Disinterested Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (2) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, (A) by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Disinterested Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, or (B) if Indemnitee so directs and the Disinterested Directors so accept, by a majority vote of Disinterested Directors (or by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors), even though less than a quorum (the party making such determination, the “Determining Party”). 
(c)    If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 6(c) and the selecting party shall promptly provide written notice of such selection to the other party hereto. If a Change in Control shall not have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Disinterested Directors.  If a Change in Control shall have occurred, Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee.  In either event, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from the applicable selecting party of the selection of Independent Counsel, the other party may deliver to the selecting party a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1(f), and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made, (i) Independent Counsel selected may not serve as 
6

Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court of competent jurisdiction has determined that such objection is without merit and (ii) the selecting party may select a new Independent Counsel and the other party shall have an additional ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such selection to object. If, within ten (10) days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for resolution of any objection which shall have been made to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 6(b) hereof. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with its acting pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 6(c), regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed and regardless of whether Indemnitee is ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(d)    In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the Determining Party shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 6(a). Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.
(e)    Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to not have had a reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful for purposes of indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee’s actions are based on the records or books of account of the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the directors, officers, agents or employees of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected by the Company. In addition, the knowledge or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e) are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee did not have a reasonable cause to believe such Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.
(f)    If the Determining Party shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification 
7

under applicable law; provided, however, that such thirty (30) day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional thirty (30) days, if the Determining Party in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating documentation and/or information relating thereto.
(g)    Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Determining Party, including providing to the Determining Party upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination.  Any Independent Counsel or member of the Board of Directors shall act reasonably and in good faith in making a determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Determining Party shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(h)    The Company acknowledges that a settlement or other disposition short of final judgment shall be successful for purposes of Section 2(c) if it permits a party to avoid expense, delay, distraction, disruption and uncertainty. In the event that a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such action, claim or proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such Proceeding. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion, by clear and convincing evidence.
(i)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
(j)    Indemnitee shall have the sole right and obligation to control the defense or conduct of any claim or Proceeding with respect to Indemnitee, except that Indemnitee shall not make any admission or effect any settlement with respect to any such Proceeding without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement of any Proceeding in which the Indemnitee is or could reasonably become a party or which potentially or actually imposes any Expenses, Liabilities, exposure or burden on Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by persons other than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional, full release of Indemnitee by all relevant parties from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters and (ii) the Company has fully indemnified the Indemnitee with respect to, and held Indemnitee harmless from and against, all Expenses and Liabilities incurred by Indemnitee or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding.

7.    Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a)    In the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 6 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 5 or Section 7(d), (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been timely made pursuant to Section 6(b) after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, or (iv) payment of indemnification is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or such determination is deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or advancement, as applicable. Indemnitee shall commence a proceeding seeking such adjudication within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 7(a). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.
(b)    In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 6(b) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination under Section 6(b).
(c)    If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d)    In the event that Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 7, seeks a judicial adjudication of Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, or to recover under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, the Company shall pay on Indemnitee’s behalf, in advance, any and all Expenses paid or incurred by him in such judicial adjudication, regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance recovery. The Company shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor from Indemnitee, advance such Expenses to Indemnitee pursuant to comparable procedures as those set forth in Section 5 with respect to advancement of Expenses therein.
(e)    The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to this Section 7 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding with respect to which indemnification is sought.
9

8.    Non-Exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance, Subrogation, Primacy of Indemnification.
(a)    The rights of indemnification (including, but not limited to, the advancement of Expenses and contribution by the Company) as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Organizational Documents, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. The Company shall not adopt any amendment or alteration to, or repeal of, the Organizational Documents the effect of which would be to deny, diminish or encumber the Indemnitee’s rights to identification pursuant to this Agreement, the Organizational Documents or applicable law prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in applicable law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification than would be afforded currently under the Organizational Documents and this Agreement, Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
(b)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person serves at the request of the Company, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, manager, officer, employee or agent under such policy or policies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance. 
(c)    In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all documents required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(d)    The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
9.    Duration of Agreement.  Due to the uncertain application of any statutes of limitations that may govern any Proceeding, this Agreement shall be of indefinite duration. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), assigns, spouses, heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director or officer of or in any other capacity for, the Company or any other Person at the Company’s request.
10

10.    Security.  To the extent requested by the Indemnitee and approved by the Disinterested Directors, the Company may at any time and from time to time provide security to the Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable bank line of credit, funded trust or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
11.    Enforcement.
(a)    The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company.
(b)    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
12.    Fees and Expenses.  The Company or its applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall reimburse Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with Indemnitee’s attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company or board of directors of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries and any committees thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses.
13.    Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
14.    Modification and Waiver.  Except as provided by Section 2, Section 6 and Section 8(a) with respect to changes in applicable law that broaden the rights of Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, no supplement, modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
15.    Notice By Indemnitee.  Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with or otherwise receiving any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification covered hereunder. The failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced thereby.
11

16.    Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (b) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the second business day after the date on which it is so mailed:

17.    Identical Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or .PDF transmission) in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
18.    Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
19.    Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.
