This SECOND WAIVER TO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of June 7, 2016 (this “Waiver”) to the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined below) is between Omega Pharma N.V., a company incorporated with limited liability in Belgium (the “Company”), and each of the institutions which is a signatory to this Waiver (collectively, the “Noteholders”).
R E C I T A L S:
A.The Company and each of the Noteholders have heretofore entered into the Note Purchase Agreement dated May 19, 2011 (as amended by the First Amendment and Consent to Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 7, 2011, the “Note Purchase Agreement”). The Company has heretofore issued an aggregate principal amount of €135,043,889 5.1045% Guaranteed Senior Notes, due July 28, 2023 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. The Noteholders are the holders of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.
B.The Company delivered (i) an Officer’s Compliance Certificate on September 18, 2015, in respect of the four fiscal quarter period ended June 30, 2015 (the “June 2015 Compliance Certificate”; a copy of which has been provided to the Noteholders), which June 2015 Compliance Certificate certified that the ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (the “Leverage Ratio”) for Half Year-End Date ending June 30, 2015 was 3.40 to 1.00 which demonstrated compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for Half Year-End Date ending June 30, 2015 which prohibits the Company from allowing the Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 and (ii) an Officer’s Compliance Certificate on April 27, 2016 in respect of the four fiscal quarter period ended December 31, 2015 (the “December 2015 Compliance Certificate”; attached as Exhibit A to the First Waiver, as defined below), which December 2015 Compliance Certificate certified that the Leverage Ratio for Year-End Date ending December 31, 2015 was 3.34 to 1.00 which demonstrated compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for Year-End Date ending December 31, 2015 which prohibits the Company from allowing the Leverage Ratio to exceed 3.50 to 1.00.
C.Enclosed with the June 2015 Compliance Certificate, the Company delivered, in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Note Purchase, the Company’s financial statements for the half-year ended June 30, 2015 (the “June 2015 IFRS Financial Statements”), which June 2015 IFRS Financial Statements contained the financial information used to calculate the Leverage Ratio for Half Year-End Date ending June 30, 2015.
D.Enclosed with the December 2015 Compliance Certificate, the Company delivered, in accordance with Section 7.1 of the Note Purchase, the Company’s financial statements for year ended December 31, 2015 (the “December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements”), which December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements contained the financial information used to calculate the Leverage Ratio for Year-End Date ending December 31, 2015.
E.The Company intends to (i) provide an updated internally generated consolidated income statement and balance sheet in respect of the period ended June 30, 2015 (the “Revised June 2015 Financial Information”) and (ii) restate the December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements (the






December 2015 Restatement”; and Omega Pharma N.V.’s December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements after taking into effect the December 2015 Restatement, the “Restated December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements”) and, as a result of the Revised June 2015 Financial Information and the Restated 2015 IFRS Financial Statements, (i) the Leverage Ratio for Half Year-End Date ending June 30, 2015 (the “Revised June 2015 Leverage Ratio”) may increase to a ratio not to exceed 4.25 to 1.00 and (ii) the Leverage Ratio for Year-End Date ending December 31, 2015 (the “Revised December 2015 Leverage Ratio”) may increase to a ratio not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00.
F.The Company and the Noteholders previously entered into a Waiver to Note Purchase Agreement dated as of May 16, 2016, as amended by a letter agreement dated May 23, 2016 (as amended, the “First Waiver”) pursuant to which the Company requested and the Noteholders agreed to waive, effective as of December 31, 2015, the Events of Default (the “Original Specified Events of Default”) which occurred or may occur as a result of the December 2015 Restatement with respect to the December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements: (i) under Section 11(c) of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with Section 10.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for the Year-End Date ending December 31, 2015, (ii) under Section 11(d) of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of the failure to provide the annual financial statements and accompanying compliance certificate as and when required under Section 7.1(b) of the Note Purchase Agreement for the December 31, 2015 Year-End Date and (iii) under Section 11(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of the material misrepresentations contained in the December 2015 IFRS Financial Statements and the December 2015 Compliance Certificate related to the Leverage Ratio of the Company for the December 31, 2015 Year-End Date, in all cases subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the First Waiver.

G.The Company is unable to comply with the terms of the First Waiver, and the Company (i) has again requested that the Noteholders waive the Original Specified Event of Default which may or have occurred as described in paragraph F of the recitals above and (ii) has requested and the Noteholders have so agreed to waive, effective as of December 31, 2015, the Events of Default (the “New Specified Events of Default” and together with the Original Specified Events of Default, collectively, the “Specified Events of Default”) which occurred or may occur as a result of the issuance of the Revised June 2015 Financial Information: (a) under Section 11(c) of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with Section 10.4(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement for the Half Year-End Date ending June 30, 2015 and (b) under Section 11(e) of the Note Purchase Agreement as a result of the material misrepresentations contained in the 2015 June IFRS Financial Statements and the June 2015 Compliance Certificate related to the Leverage Ratio of the Company for the June 30, 2015 Half Year-End Date.
 
H.Capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement unless herein defined or the context shall otherwise require.

I.All requirements of law have been fully complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this Waiver a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed.
