Requisite Regulatory Approvals All Consents required to be obtained from or made with any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been obtained or made.
Regulatory Approvals (a) Each Party shall, and shall cause its ultimate parent entity (as such term is defined in the HSR Act) to, use reasonable best efforts to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all applications, notices, reports, filings and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party or its ultimate parent entity with or otherwise submitted by such Party or its ultimate parent entity to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and shall file no later than ten (10) Business Days thereafter the Notification and Report Forms required by the HSR Act. Each Party shall (i) promptly supply the other with any information which may be required in order to effectuate such filings, (ii) submit promptly any additional information which may be reasonably requested by any such Governmental Body, and (iii) coordinate with the other Party in making any such filings or information submissions pursuant to and in connection with the foregoing that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions. (b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.4, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations, and the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods for the Contemplated Transactions under any Antitrust Law, each Party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with the other with respect to any investigation or other inquiry; (ii) promptly provide to the other a copy of all communications received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Body, in each case regarding the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) to the extent not prohibited under applicable Antitrust Law, permit the other to review in advance any communication given by it to any Governmental Body concerning the Contemplated Transactions, consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with any proposed written communications by such Party to any Governmental Body concerning the Contemplated Transactions, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or telephone or video conference with, any Governmental Body, and give the other or its outside counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences unless prohibited by the applicable Governmental Body; provided, that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) may be restricted to outside counsel and redacted to (A) remove references concerning the valuation of either Party, (B) comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) preserve attorney-client privilege. Neither Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under applicable Antitrust Law, or pull and refile under the HSR Act, without the prior written consent of the other. Parent and the Company shall each pay one-half of the filing fee under the HSR Act relating to the HSR filing required for the Merger; provided, however, that each Party shall bear its own legal fees. (c) Except as required by this Agreement, prior to Closing, neither the Company nor Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger or consolidation would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or significantly increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.
Reporting Obligations and Regulatory Approvals Applicable laws and regulations may require holders and beneficial owners of Shares, including the Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs, to satisfy reporting requirements and obtain regulatory approvals in certain circumstances. Holders and Beneficial Owners of ADSs are solely responsible for determining and complying with such reporting requirements and obtaining such approvals. Each Holder and each Beneficial Owner hereby agrees to make such determination, file such reports, and obtain such approvals to the extent and in the form required by applicable laws and regulations as in effect from time to time. Neither the Depositary, the Custodian, the Company or any of their respective agents or affiliates shall be required to take any actions whatsoever on behalf of Holders or Beneficial Owners to determine or satisfy such reporting requirements or obtain such regulatory approvals under applicable laws and regulations.
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.
Governmental Approvals and Filings Except for any notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with certain federal and state securities commissions, the Company shall have obtained all governmental approvals required in connection with the lawful sale and issuance of the Notes.
