Approvals and Notifications (a) To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Excluded Assets or the assumption of any Excluded Liabilities requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Covidien and Mallinckrodt, neither Covidien nor Mallinckrodt shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.
(b) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Covidien Group of any Excluded Assets or the assumption by the Covidien Group of any Excluded Liabilities would be a violation of applicable Law, or require any Approval or Notification that has not been obtained or made on or before the Distribution Date, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the Covidien Group of such Excluded Assets or the assumption by the Covidien Group of such Excluded Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities shall continue to constitute Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.
(c) If any transfer or assignment of any Excluded Asset or any assumption of any Excluded Liability not intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is consummated on or prior to the Distribution Date, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the member of the Mallinckrodt Group holding or owning such Excluded Asset or such Excluded Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Covidien Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Covidien Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Mallinckrodt Group retaining such Excluded Asset or such Excluded Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Covidien Group to whom such Excluded Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Excluded Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Covidien Group in a substantially similar position as if such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability had not been so transferred, assigned or assumed and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Distribution Date to the Covidien Group.
(d) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Excluded Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Excluded Liability, are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Excluded Asset or the assumption of any Excluded Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Excluded Asset or the assumption of the applicable Excluded Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.
(e) Any member of the Mallinckrodt Group retaining an Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Excluded Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Excluded Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Covidien or the member of the Covidien Group entitled to the Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Covidien or the member of the Covidien Group entitled to such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability.
(f) To the extent that the transfer or assignment of any Mallinckrodt Asset, the assumption of any Mallinckrodt Liability, the Separation, or the Distribution requires any Approvals or Notifications, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements or as otherwise agreed between Covidien and Mallinckrodt, neither Covidien nor Mallinckrodt shall be obligated to contribute capital or pay any consideration in any form (including providing any letter of credit, guaranty or other financial accommodation) to any Person in order to obtain or make such Approvals or Notifications.
(g) If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected transfer or assignment to the Mallinckrodt Group of any Mallinckrodt Asset or assumption by the Mallinckrodt Group of any Mallinckrodt Liability would be a violation of applicable Law, or require any Approvals or Notifications in connection with the Separation or the Distribution that have not been obtained or made on or before the Distribution Date, then, unless the Parties shall otherwise mutually determine, the transfer or assignment to the Mallinckrodt Group of such Mallinckrodt Assets or the assumption by the Mallinckrodt Group of such Mallinckrodt Liabilities, as the case may be, shall be automatically deemed deferred and any such purported transfer, assignment or assumption shall be null and void until such time as all legal impediments are removed or such Approvals or Notifications have been obtained or made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Mallinckrodt Assets or Mallinckrodt Liabilities shall continue to constitute Mallinckrodt Assets and Mallinckrodt Liabilities for all other purposes of this Agreement.
(h) If any transfer or assignment of any Mallinckrodt Asset or any assumption of any Mallinckrodt Liability intended to be transferred, assigned or assumed hereunder, as the case may be, is not consummated on or prior to the Distribution Date, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 2.5(g) or for any other reason, then, insofar as reasonably possible, the member of the Covidien Group retaining such Mallinckrodt Asset or such Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, shall thereafter hold such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, for the use and benefit of the member of the Mallinckrodt Group entitled thereto (at the expense of the member of the Mallinckrodt Group entitled thereto). In addition, the member of the Covidien Group retaining such Mallinckrodt Asset or such Mallinckrodt Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the member of the Mallinckrodt Group to whom such Mallinckrodt Asset is to be transferred or assigned, or which will assume such Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, in order to place such member of the Mallinckrodt Group in a substantially similar position as if such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability had been transferred, assigned or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, including use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, and all costs and expenses related thereto, shall inure from and after the Distribution Date to the Mallinckrodt Group.
(i) If and when the Approvals or Notifications, the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer or assignment of any Mallinckrodt Asset or the deferral of assumption of any Mallinckrodt Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(g), are obtained or made, and, if and when any other legal impediments for the transfer or assignment of any Mallinckrodt Asset or the assumption of any Mallinckrodt Liability have been removed, the transfer or assignment of the applicable Mallinckrodt Asset or the assumption of the applicable Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, shall be effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement.
(j) Any member of the Covidien Group retaining a Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability due to the deferral of the transfer or assignment of such Mallinckrodt Asset or the deferral of the assumption of such Mallinckrodt Liability, as the case may be, shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced (or otherwise made available) by Mallinckrodt or the member of the Mallinckrodt Group entitled to the Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability, other than reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by Mallinckrodt or the member of the Mallinckrodt Group entitled to such Mallinckrodt Asset or Mallinckrodt Liability.
Inspection and Reporting Each Grantor shall permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountant or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (at Grantors’ sole cost and expense) (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from any Grantor’s Records and books of account, (ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify materials, leases, Instruments, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of any Grantor from time to time, and (iv) to conduct audits, physical counts, appraisals, valuations and/or examinations at the locations of any Grantor.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, at any time, in the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of such Grantor, parties to contracts with such Grantor and/or obligors in respect of Instruments or Pledged Debt of such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Pledged Debt, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other receivables.
