(“CSHI” and together with Bank of America, JPMorgan, Jefferies and Cowen, “we”, “us” or the “Commitment Parties”) that you intend to incur up to an incremental $675.0 million in principal amount under the terms of that certain credit agreement dated as of May 7, 2015 (as the same may have been amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”, without giving effect to any amendments, supplements, restatements or modifications thereto that are materially adverse to the Commitment Parties, without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined being used as defined therein), among Horizon Pharma, Inc. (“you” or the “Borrower”), Horizon Pharma Public Limited Company (“Parent”), the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, in connection with the acquisition (the “Acquisition”), directly or indirectly, of all of the capital stock of an entity previously identified to us by you as “Razor” (the “Company”). You have further advised us that, in connection with the foregoing, you and the Company intend to consummate the other Transactions described in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Transaction Description”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Description or the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Term Sheet”; this amended and restated commitment letter, the Transaction Description, the Term Sheet and the Summary of Additional Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C, together with the fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) delivered in connection herewith, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”).


  1. Commitments.

In connection with the Transactions, (i) Bank of America is pleased to advise you of its several but not joint commitment to provide 40% principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, (ii) JPMorgan is pleased to advise you of its several but not joint commitment to provide 30% principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, (iii) Jefferies is pleased to advise you of its several but not joint commitment to provide 22.5% principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, and (iv) CSHI is pleased to advise you of its several but not joint commitment to provide 7.5% principal amount of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, in each case, subject only to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 below. In such capacities, each of Bank of America, JPMorgan, Jefferies and CSHI are an “Initial Lender” and, together with any relevant lending affiliate of an Additional Arranger appointed as provided below, the “Initial Lenders”.

 

  2. Titles and Roles.

It is agreed that (i) Bank of America, JPMorgan, Jefferies (acting through any of its affiliates as it deems appropriate) and Cowen will act as lead arrangers and bookrunners for the Incremental Term Loan Facility (each a “Lead Arranger” and together with any Additional Arranger appointed as provided below, the “Lead Arrangers”) and (ii) Citibank, N.A. will continue to act as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Credit Agreement (the financial institution appointed in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). It is further agreed that in any Information Materials (as defined below) and all other offering or marketing materials in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, (i) Bank of America shall have “left side” designation and shall appear on the top left and shall hold the leading role and responsibility customarily associated with such “top left” placement, (ii) JPMorgan shall have immediate “right” designation and its name shall appear immediately to the right of Bank of America, (iii) Jefferies shall appear immediately to the right of JPMorgan and (iv) Cowen shall appear immediately to the right of JPMorgan; provided that if the economics of the Additional Arranger exceed the economics of CSHI, such Additional Arranger shall appear immediately to the right of JPMorgan and Cowen shall appear immediately to the right of such Additional Arranger). JPMorgan may perform responsibilities as Lead Arranger through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

You agree that no other agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than compensation expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid to any Lender (as defined below) in order to obtain its commitment to participate in the Incremental Term Loan Facility unless you and we shall so agree; provided that (i) within ten (10) business days following the date hereof, you may appoint one additional joint lead arranger for the Incremental Term Loan Facility (an “Additional Arranger”) and award such joint lead arranger additional agent, co-agent or bookrunner titles in a manner and with economics determined by you in consultation with the Lead Arrangers (it being understood that, to the extent you appoint additional agents, co-agents or bookrunners or confer other titles in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, the commitment of each of Bank of America, JPMorgan, Jefferies and CSHI will be ratably reduced by the amount of the commitment of such appointed entities (or their relevant affiliates) and the economics awarded to such other arrangers shall be in proportion to their commitments assumed in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility), (ii) Bank of America, JPMorgan, Jefferies and CSHI shall represent not less than 90% of the aggregate economics for the Incremental Term Loan Facility, (iii) no additional lead arranger, agent, co-agent or bookrunner shall have a commitment or economics in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility greater than Bank of America, JPMorgan or Jefferies and (iv) upon the execution by any other lead arranger, agent, co-agent or bookrunner (and any relevant affiliate) of customary joinder documentation, each such financial institution (and any relevant affiliate) shall thereafter constitute a “Commitment Party” and, other than with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a “Lead Arranger” hereunder and it or its relevant affiliate providing such commitment shall constitute an “Initial Lender” hereunder)

  3. Syndication.

The Lead Arrangers reserve the right, prior to or after the Closing Date (as defined below), to syndicate all or a portion of the Initial Lenders’ respective commitments hereunder to a group of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and investors (together with the Initial Lenders, the “Lenders”) identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers and you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and you agree to assist the Initial Lenders with the syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility; provided that (a) we agree not to syndicate our commitments to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders (or related funds of such institutional lenders clearly identifiable solely by similarity of name) identified to us by you in writing prior to the date hereof (“Disqualified Lenders”) and (b) notwithstanding the Lead Arrangers’ right to syndicate the Incremental Term Loan Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto, (i) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, its obligation to fund the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the date requested by the Borrower (the date of such funding, the “Closing Date”)) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the Closing Date has occurred, (ii) except as expressly provided in Section 2, no assignment or novation by any Initial Lender shall become effective as between you and the Initial Lenders with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lender’s commitments in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility until the initial funding of the Incremental Term Loan Facility and (iii) unless you otherwise agree in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until after the Closing Date has occurred.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Incremental Term Loan Facility and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility constitute a condition to the availability of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date. The Lead Arrangers may commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter and as part of their syndication efforts, it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Incremental Term Loan Facility prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph). Until the earlier of Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and the 45th day after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree to actively assist the Lead Arrangers in seeking to complete a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us and you. Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your and the Company’s existing lending and investment banking relationships, (b) direct contact between senior management, certain representatives and certain advisors of you, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between senior management, certain representatives and certain advisors of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times mutually agreed upon, (c) your assistance in the preparation of the Information Materials (as defined below), (d) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of a reasonable number of meetings to be mutually agreed of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon, (e) your using commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) customary forecasts of financial statements of Parent for the remaining quarter of Parent’s 2016 fiscal year and for each year commencing with Parent’s 2017

fiscal year for the term of the Incremental Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “Projections”) and (f) at any time prior to the Syndication Date, there being no competing issues, offerings, placements or arrangements of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged (other than any indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Merger Agreement) without the consent of the Lead Arrangers, if such issuance, offering, placement or arrangement would materially impair the primary syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility (it being understood that any offering of Notes (as defined in the Fee Letter) or other debt securities by investment banks reasonably acceptable to Lead Arrangers who hold (or whose affiliates hold), in the aggregate, a majority of the commitments in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility (provided that such majority includes Bank of America) issued for the purpose of financing the Acquisition (such other debt securities, “Alternative Notes”) shall not be deemed to be a competing offer, placement, issuance or arrangement of the Incremental Term Loan Facility). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, your obligations to assist in syndication efforts as provided herein (including the obtaining of the ratings referenced above) shall not constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date.

The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will manage, in consultation with you, all aspects of any syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, including decisions as to the selection of institutions reasonably acceptable to you (your consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights set forth in the second preceding paragraph and excluding Disqualified Lenders), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you, the Company or your or its respective affiliates; provided that you agree to (i) to the extent such information is material, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain waivers and to otherwise provide such information in a manner that does not violate such obligations and (ii) notify us as to the existence of any material information that is not being provided under this sentence.

You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information (as defined below), Projections and other offering and marketing material and presentations, including confidential information memoranda to be used in connection with the syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility in a form customarily delivered in connection with senior secured bank financings (the “Information Memorandum”) (such Information, Projections, other offering and marketing material and the Information Memorandum, collectively, with the Term Sheet, the “Information Materials”) on a confidential basis to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on Intralinks, Debt X, SyndTrak Online or by similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e. Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to Parent, its affiliates, the Company or their respective securities and who may be engaged in investment and other market related activities with respect to Parent the Company or their respective securities) (each, a “Public Sider” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “Private Sider”). You will be solely responsible for the contents of the Information Materials and each of the Commitment Parties shall be entitled to use and rely upon the information contained therein without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

At the request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to assist us in preparing an additional version of the Information Materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Incremental Term Loan Facility that consists exclusively of information that is publicly available and/or does not include MNPI

with respect to Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries for the purpose of United States federal and state securities laws to be used by Public Siders. It is understood that in connection with your and the Company’s assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Information Materials that authorize the distribution thereof to prospective Lenders, represent that the additional version of the Information Materials does not include any MNPI and exculpate (i) Parent, the Company and their respective subsidiaries with respect to any liability related to the misuse of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof and (ii) us and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the use of the contents of the Information Materials or related offering and marketing materials by the recipients thereof. Before distribution of any Information Materials, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “Public Information”, which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof. By marking Information Materials as “PUBLIC”, you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the proposed Lenders to treat such Information Materials as not containing any MNPI (it being understood that you shall not be under any obligation to mark the Information Materials “PUBLIC”).

You acknowledge and agree that the following documents, without limitation, may be distributed to both Private Siders and Public Siders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such materials should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, bank allocation, if any, and funding and closing memoranda), (b) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, (c) drafts and final versions of the definitive documentation for the Incremental Term Loan Facility (the “Credit Facilities Documentation”) and (d) publicly filed financial statements of Parent and its subsidiaries and the Company and its subsidiaries. If you advise us in writing (including by email), within a reasonable period of time prior to dissemination, that any of the foregoing should be distributed only to Private Siders, then Public Siders will not receive such materials without your consent.

 

  4. Information.

You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, to your knowledge) (a) all material written information and written data, other than the Projections and other forward-looking information regarding the future performance of Parent, the Company and their respective subsidiaries and other than information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or by any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, does not or will not, when furnished, taken together with all other information that is publicly available on the SEC’s website, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (b) the Projections contained in the Information Memorandum will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time such Projections are so furnished; it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material. You agree that, if at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and the Projections contained in the Information

Memorandum were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will (or, prior to the Closing Date, with respect to the Information and such Projections relating to the Company, will use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and such Projections such that (with respect to Information and Projections relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, to your knowledge) such representations and warranties are correct in all material respects in light of the circumstances under which the statements included in such Information were made. In arranging and syndicating the Incremental Term Loan Facility, each of the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections contained in the Information Memorandum without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

 

  5. Fees.

As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and for the agreement of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter if and to the extent due and payable. Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable except as otherwise agreed in writing.

 

  6. Conditions.

The commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder to fund the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date and the agreements of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein are subject solely to the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Credit Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability and funding of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations made by the Company in the Merger Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you or Merger Sub has the right to terminate its obligations under the Merger Agreement or to decline to consummate the Acquisition as a result of a breach of such representations in the Merger Agreement (to such extent, the “Specified Merger Agreement Representations”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Credit Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability or funding of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions to Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto are satisfied (it being understood that (x) no security interest in any Collateral shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date except as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y), with respect to security to be provided by the Company and any restricted subsidiary of the Company that is required to become a Guarantor, the provision of such security shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Incremental Term Loan Facility on the Closing Date except as required under the terms of the Credit Agreement, other than any Collateral the security interest in which may be perfected, to the extent certificated, by the delivery of stock certificates representing stock of the Company). For purposes hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Guarantors set forth in the Credit Facilities Documentation relating to organizational status of the Borrower and the Guarantors; power and authority, due authorization, execution and delivery and enforceability with respect to the Credit Facilities Documentation, no conflicts with or consent under organizational documents, in each case, related to the entering into and the performance of the Credit Facilities Documentation and the incurrence of the extensions of credit and granting of the security interests in the Collateral to secure the Incremental Term Loan Facility; solvency as of the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions and with solvency

For the avoidance of doubt, compliance by you and/or your affiliates with the terms and conditions of this Commitment Letter (other than as set forth above in this Section 6) is not a condition to the Initial Lenders’ commitments to fund the Incremental Term Loan Facility hereunder on the terms set forth herein.

 

  7. Indemnity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (i) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s controlled affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives, in each case who are involved in or aware of the Transactions as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) without in any way limiting the indemnification obligations set forth above, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries (or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents), us or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions (including the Incremental Term Loan Facility and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Incremental Term Loan Facility, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Facilities Documentation.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 7.
