(A)          Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Without qualification or limitation, subject to Section 2.8(C)(4) of these By-laws, for any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.7(A) of these By-laws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof (including, in the case of nominations, the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required

3

by Section 2.9 of these By-laws), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in writing to the Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation.  In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased by the Board of Directors, and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.8(A) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

In addition, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

(B)          Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Subject to Section 2.8(C)(4) of these By-laws, in the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, provided that the stockholder gives timely notice thereof (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.9 of these By-laws), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in writing, to the Secretary.

4

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.  In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting of stockholders, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

In addition, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting, any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Section 2.9  Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement.  To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a person nominated by a shareholder for election or reelection to the Board of Directors must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.8 of these By-laws) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request), and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein, (C) will comply with the Corporation’s stock ownership guidelines for directors, if any, and has disclosed therein whether all or any portion of securities of the Corporation were purchased with any financial assistance provided by any other person and whether any other person has any interest in such securities, and (D) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply, with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation publicly disclosed from time to time, and (E) will abide by the requirements of Section 2.10 of these By-laws.

Section 2.10  Procedure for Election of Directors; Required Vote.

(A)          Except as set forth below, election of directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, a majority of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present shall elect directors.  For purposes of this By-law, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election.  Votes cast shall include direction to withhold authority in each case and exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a “contested election” of directors, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present.  For purposes of this By-law, a “contested election” shall mean any election of directors in which the number of candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary as of the close of the applicable notice of nomination period set forth in Section 2.8 of these

8

By-laws or under applicable law, based on whether one or more notice(s) of nomination were timely filed in accordance with said Section 2.8; provided, however, that the determination that an election is a “contested election” shall be determinative only as to the timeliness of a notice of nomination and not otherwise as to its validity.  If, prior to the time the Corporation mails its initial proxy statement in connection with such election of directors, one or more notices of nomination are withdrawn such that the number of candidates for election as director no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the election shall not be considered a contested election, but in all other cases, once an election is determined to be a contested election, directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast.

(B)          If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors in accordance with the agreement contemplated by clause (E) of Section 2.9 of these By-laws.  The Nominations and Governance Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken.  The Board of Directors shall act on the tendered resignation, taking into account the Nominations and Governance Committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results.  The Nominations and Governance Committee in making its recommendation, and the Board of Directors in making its decision, may each consider any factors or other information that it considers appropriate and relevant.  The director who tenders his or her resignation shall not participate in the recommendation of the Nominations and Governance Committee or the decision of the Board of Directors with respect to his or her resignation.  If such incumbent director’s resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director shall continue to serve until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal.  If a director’s resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors pursuant to this By-law, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.9 of these By-laws or may decrease the size of the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2 of these By-laws.

(C)          Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-laws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

Section 2.11  Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.

(A)          The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector or inspectors may, but does not need to, include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including, without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives, to act at the meetings of stockholders and make a written report thereof.  One or more persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate has been appointed to act or is able to act at a

9

meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.  The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law.

(B)          The Chairman of the meeting shall be appointed by the inspector or inspectors to fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting.

Section 2.12  No Stockholder Action by Written Consent.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to such series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

defined in the [AbbVie Inc. 2013 Incentive Stock Program], in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the claimant unless the claimant shall request that such selection be made by the Board of Directors.  If it is so determined that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, payment to the claimant shall be made within ten (10) days after such determination.

Section 7.2  Mandatory Advancement of Expenses.  To the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment or modification, only to the extent that such amendment or modification permits the Corporation to provide greater rights to advancement of expenses than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment or modification), each Covered Person shall have (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to have) the right, without the need for any action by the Board of Directors, to be paid by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, such advances to be paid by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter, the “Undertaking”) by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right of appeal (a “final disposition”) that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this By-law or otherwise.

Section 7.3  Claims.

(A)          (1) If a claim for indemnification under this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim pursuant to Section 7.1(B) of these By-laws has been received by the Corporation, or (2) if a request for advancement of expenses under this Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within twenty (20) days after a statement pursuant to Section 7.2 of these By-laws and the required Undertaking, if any, have been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim for indemnification or request for advancement of expenses and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim.  It shall be a defense to any such action that, under the DGCL, the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or that the claimant is not entitled to the requested advancement of expenses, but (except where the required Undertaking, if any, has not been tendered to the Corporation) the burden of proving

18

such defense shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(B)          If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 7.1(B) of these By-laws that the claimant is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section 7.3.

(C)          The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Section 7.3 that the procedures and presumptions of this By-law are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this By-law.

Section 7.4  Contract Rights; Amendment and Repeal; Non-exclusivity of Rights.

(A)          All of the rights conferred in this Article VII, as to indemnification, advancement of expenses and otherwise, shall be contract rights between the Corporation and each Covered Person to whom such rights are extended that vest at the commencement of such Covered Person’s service to or at the request of the Corporation and (x) any amendment or modification of this Article VII that in any way diminishes or adversely affects any such rights shall be prospective only and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any such rights with respect to any actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment or modification, or Proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such actual or alleged state of facts, occurrence, action or omission, and (y) all of such rights shall continue as to any such Covered Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or ceased to serve at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, as described herein, and shall inure to the benefit of such Covered Person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

(B)          All of the rights conferred in this Article VII, as to indemnification, advancement of expenses and otherwise, (i) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise and (ii) cannot be terminated by the Corporation, the Board of Directors or the stockholders of the Corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination.

Section 7.5  Insurance, Other Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.

(A)          The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another

19

corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.  To the extent that the Corporation maintains any policy or policies providing such insurance, each such current or former director or officer, and each such agent or employee to which rights to indemnification have been granted as provided in paragraph (B) of this Section 7.5, shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage thereunder for any such current or former director, officer, employee or agent.

(B)          The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, grant rights to indemnification and rights to advancement of expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any current or former employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this By-law with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of current or former directors and officers of the Corporation.

Section 7.6  Definitions.  For purposes of this By-law:

(B)          “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, a member of a law firm, or an independent practitioner, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and shall include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would not have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the claimant in an action to determine the claimant’s rights under this By-law.

Section 7.7  Notice.  Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given to the Corporation under this By-law shall be in writing and either delivered in person or sent by telecopy, telex, telegram, overnight mail or courier service, or certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be effective only upon receipt by the Secretary.

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

Section 2.01.                          Initial Services.  Commencing as of the Effective Time, the Provider agrees to provide, or to cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide, to the Recipient, or any Subsidiary of the Recipient, the applicable services (the “Initial Services”) set forth on each of the subsections of Schedule 1 hereto.

Section 2.02.                          Omitted Services; Excluded Services; Additional Services.

(a)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but such service was inadvertently omitted from the Services set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (each such service, an “Omitted Service”), then the other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or to cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide, any such Omitted Service to the identifying Party and its Subsidiaries; provided that the other Party shall not be obligated to provide any Omitted Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted Service or if the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses.  The Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each Omitted Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Parties shall (i) amend Schedule 1 hereto to include the Omitted Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Omitted Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries, but the Parties had mutually agreed that such service would not be provided under the terms of this Agreement (each such service, an “Excluded Service”), then the Transition Committee shall consider whether the other Party shall provide such Excluded Service to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries under the terms of this Agreement.  If the Transition Committee determines that the other Party shall provide such Excluded Service to the identifying Party (each such Excluded Service, a “Reinstated Service”), then the Transition Committee will act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each Reinstated Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Parties shall (i) amend Schedule 1 hereto to include the Reinstated Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as approved by the Transition Committee, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Reinstated Services set

4

forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)                                  If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service, other than an Omitted Service or an Excluded Service, that it desires for the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to provide to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries (each such service, an “Additional Service”), then the other Party shall consider such request, in conjunction with the Transition Committee; provided that nothing shall require the other Party to provide such Additional Service to the identifying Party.  If the other Party consents to providing an Additional Service to the identifying Party, then the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto for each such Additional Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  The Parties shall (i) amend Schedule 1 hereto to include the Additional Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each supplemental subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.03.                          Performance of Services.

(a)                                 The Provider shall perform and cause its Subsidiaries to perform all Services to be provided by the Provider in a manner that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in nature, quality and timeliness to the analogous services provided by Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries to Abbott or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.  The Provider shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder in good faith.

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the manner of such performance would constitute a violation of applicable Laws, the Abbott Code of Business Conduct or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party.  If the Provider is or becomes aware of any such restriction on the Provider, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly send a Notice to the Recipient of any such restriction.  The Parties each agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.03(b).  Any costs and expenses incurred by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed (i) any Service (other than an Additional Service) shall be split between the Provider and the Recipient in accordance with such Parties’ respective utilization of the applicable Service at such time (except with respect to fees imposed by Third Parties to allow joint participation by the Provider and the Recipient under information technology contracts and licenses, which fees shall be split equally between the Provider and the Recipient) and (ii) any Additional Service shall be solely the responsibility of the Recipient.  If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent or the performance of such Service by the Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws or the Abbott Code of Business Conduct, the Provider shall use

5

commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 2.03 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 2.03(b).

(c)                                  The Provider shall not be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity in any calendar year that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services provided to Abbott or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary during calendar year 2012, as set forth in the 2012 plan (without reference to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement) (the “Service Baseline Period”).  If the Recipient requests that the Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services that were provided to Abbott or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary during the Service Baseline Period, then: (i) if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations occurring in the ordinary course of business of the Recipient, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested higher volume or quantity; and (ii) if such higher volume or quantity results from any other source, including an acquisition, merger, purchase or other business combination by the Recipient, the Transition Committee shall determine whether the Provider will be required to provide such requested higher volume or quantity.  If the Transition Committee determines that the Provider shall provide the requested higher volume or quantity then such higher volume or quantity shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the Recipient and the Provider who shall promptly provide a copy of such written agreement to the Transition Committee.  Each amended subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the volume or quantity increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d)                                 (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than the Recipient or its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.03, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, THAT THE RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT THE PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

(e)                                  Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the other Party.

Section 2.04.                          Charges for Services.  The Recipient shall pay the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee

6

constituting a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be agreed to by the Parties from time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Services may adjust to the extent of:  (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by the Parties; (b) any Charges applicable to any Omitted Services, Reinstated Services or Additional Services; and (c) in accordance with Section 2.08, any proportional adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services.  Together with any monthly invoice for Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to the extent such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

Section 2.05.                          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses.  The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient.  Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.06.                          Changes to Services.  Except as provided in Section 2.08 and subject to the performance standards set forth in this Article II, the Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services as required under Section 2.03(a) if the Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if the Provider furnishes to the Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such changes.  No such change shall affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service.  If any such change by the Provider reasonably requires the Recipient to incur incremental costs and expenses in order to continue to receive and utilize the applicable Services in the same manner as the Recipient was receiving and utilizing such Service prior to such change, the Provider shall be required to reimburse the Recipient for all such reasonable costs and expenses.  Upon request, the Recipient shall provide the Provider with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Provider to the extent such documentation is in the Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such incremental costs and expenses.

Section 2.07.                          Transitional Nature of Services.  The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or its designee).

Section 2.08.                          Use of Third Parties to Provide Services.  The Provider may perform its obligations to provide a Service through agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, provided that the delegation of performance of the applicable Service does not impact the timeliness or quality of such Service, in accordance with the following:

7

(a)                                  Provider is Currently Using Third Parties as of the Effective Time.  If, as of the Effective Time, (i) the Provider is obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, or (ii) the Provider is obtaining services from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors which services the Provider shall only provide to the Recipient under this Agreement and the Provider shall not otherwise require such analogous services for itself during the term of this Agreement, then the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by the Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; or

(b)                                 Provider Elects to Switch to Third Parties After the Effective Time.

(i)                                     If, following the Effective Time, the Provider elects to obtain analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) the Provider shall furnish to the Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by the Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; and

(ii)                                  If, however, following the Effective Time, the Provider is not obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) the Provider shall furnish to the Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services the Provider is providing through such Third Parties appointed following the Effective Time may not be adjusted by the Provider as a result of any adjustments in the rates or charges imposed by such Third Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Provider shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of such agents, subcontractors or independent contractors.

ARTICLE V

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 5.01.                             Term.  This Agreement shall commence at the Effective Time and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of:  (a) the last date on which either Party is obligated to provide any Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (b) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Service at the close of business on the last day of the Service Period for such Service.  To the extent that the Provider’s ability to provide a Service is dependent on the continuation of a specified Service, the Provider’s obligation to provide such dependent Service shall terminate automatically with the termination of such supporting Service.

Section 5.02.                             Early Termination.  Without prejudice to the Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, the Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(a)                                  for any reason or no reason, upon the giving of an advance Notice to the Provider of such Service not less than the shorter of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half the original Service Period for such Service; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; or

(b)                                 if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist forty five (45) days after receipt by the Provider of Notice of such failure from the Recipient; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day

10

of a month; and provided, further, that the Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between the Parties (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Provider has cured the applicable breach.

The Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Service, but not a portion thereof, at any time upon prior Notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Charges for such Service when due, and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of forty five (45) days after receipt by the Recipient of a Notice of such failure from the Provider; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Provider shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between the Parties (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Recipient has cured the applicable breach.  The relevant subsection of Schedule 1 hereto shall be updated to reflect any terminated Service.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement, (B) upon the request of either Party, the Transition Committee shall determine whether (1)  any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that a Party is seeking to terminate in accordance with this Section 5.02 and (2) the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 5.02 prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, and (C) in the event that the Transition Committee has determined that such interdependencies exist and that the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 5.02 prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the applicable subsection of Schedule 1 hereto relating to such impacted continuing Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of comparable Services.

Section 5.03.                             Reduction of Services.  The Recipient may from time to time request a reduction in part of the scope or amount of any Service; provided that any such reduction may only take effect as of the end of a month.  If requested to do so by the Recipient, the Transition Committee shall discuss in good faith appropriate adjustments to the relevant Charges in light of all relevant factors.  If, after such discussions, the Transition Committee does not approve any requested reduction of the scope or amount of any Service and the relevant Charges in connection therewith, then (a) there shall be no change to the Charges under this Agreement and (b) unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing, there shall be no change to the scope or amount of any Services under this Agreement.  If, after such discussions, the Transition Committee approves any reduction of Service, such reduction of Service shall be documented in a written agreement executed on behalf of the Recipient and the Provider and a copy of such written agreement shall promptly be provided to the Transition Committee.  Additionally, in connection with any such reduction of Service, the Transition Committee may approve an appropriate reduction to the Charges related to the applicable reduced Service.

11

Section 5.04.                             Extension of Services.

(a)                                  The Recipient may request to extend the Service Period of any Service (each such extension, a “Service Extension”) one time for each Service (unless the Transition Committee shall authorize additional extensions) by providing the Provider of such Service with advance Notice not less than the shorter of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half of the original Service Period for such Service.

(b)                                 If the Recipient is requesting a Service Extension for a particular Service for the first time and the requested Service Extension is for a period of twelve (12) months or less past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service, then the Provider shall be obligated to provide such requested Service Extension and the Parties shall in good faith (i) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (ii) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  If (A) the requested Service Extension is for a period of longer than twelve (12) months past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service or (B) the Recipient has previously requested a Service Extension for the particular Service that the Recipient is currently requesting a Service Extension, then the Transition Committee shall determine whether the Provider shall provide the applicable Service for the requested Service Extension period.  If the Transition Committee determines that the Provider shall provide such Service during the requested Service Extension period, then the Parties shall in good faith (1) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service and promptly provide a copy thereof to the Transition Committee, and (2) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  Each amended subsection of Schedule 1 hereto, as agreed to in writing by the Parties or the Transition Committee, as applicable, shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and any Services provided pursuant to such Service Extensions shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (w) there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement, (x) the Provider’s ability to extend the provision of a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement may be dependent on the extension of another Service, (y) upon the request of either Party, the Transition Committee shall determine whether any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that the Recipient is seeking to extend in accordance with this Section 5.04 and (z) to the extent the Transition Committee has determined that such interdependencies exist, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend the applicable subsection of Schedule 1 hereto relating to such other Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of comparable Services.

Section 5.05.                             Effect of Termination.  Upon the termination of any Service pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service shall have no further obligation to

12

provide the terminated Service, and the Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any future Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the Provider for the Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination for such Service.  In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, this Article V, Article VII and Article IX, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and Liability for all due and unpaid Charges, shall continue to survive indefinitely.

Section 5.06.                             Information Transmission.  The Provider, on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the Recipient, in accordance with Section 6.01(a) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any Information received or computed by the Provider for the benefit of the Recipient concerning the relevant Service during the Service Period; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided for under the terms of the Information Technology Agreement (a) the Provider shall not have any obligation to provide or cause to provide Information in any non-standard format, (b) the Provider and its Subsidiaries shall be reimbursed for their reasonable costs in accordance with Section 6.01(c) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement for creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise providing such Information, and (c) the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

13

Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform the Services.  If any confidential and proprietary Information of AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform such Services.

Section 6.02.                             No Release.  Each Party agrees (a) not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Information addressed in Section 6.01 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Information in their capacities as such, and except in compliance with Section 6.04 and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 6.03.                             Third Party Information; Privacy and Data Protection Laws.  Each Party acknowledges that it and its respective Subsidiaries may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary Information of, or personal Information relating to, Third Parties (a) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and another Party or another Party’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (b) that, as between the Parties, was originally collected by another Party or another Party’s Subsidiaries and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws.  As provided in more detail in a data protection agreement to be entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary Information of, or personal Information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

Section 6.04.                             Protective Arrangements.  In the event that either Party or any of its Subsidiaries is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any confidential or proprietary Information of the other Party that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, or to disclose or provide any Personal Data that it processes on behalf of the other Party in accordance with the data protection agreement to be entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, such Party shall, unless prohibited by such request or requirement of the applicable Governmental Authority or under applicable Law, provide the other Party with Notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order, at such other Party’s own cost and expense.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such Information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE II

SERVICES

Section 2.01.                          Initial Services. Effective as of the commencement of the Service Period, the applicable Provider shall provide, or Abbott or AbbVie, as applicable, shall cause one or more of its other Subsidiaries to provide, to the applicable Recipient, the services (the “Initial Services”) indicated with an “X” on Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement for such Recipient and as described in greater detail on the subsections of Exhibit A hereto.

Section 2.02.                          Omitted Services; Excluded Services; Additional Services.

(a)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, another Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the identifying Party, but such service was inadvertently omitted from the Services set forth on Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement (each such service, an “Omitted Service”), then such other Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or to cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide, any such Omitted Service to the identifying Party; provided that such other Party shall not be obligated to provide any Omitted Service if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Omitted Service or if the provision of such Omitted Service would significantly disrupt the operation of its businesses.  Abbott and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Omitted Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Omitted Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Omitted Services set forth therein shall be deemed

4

“Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)                                 If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service that, prior to the Effective Time, another Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to the identifying Party, but Abbott and AbbVie had mutually agreed that such service would not be provided under the terms of this Agreement (each such service, an “Excluded Service”), then the Transition Committee shall consider whether such other Party shall provide such Excluded Service to the identifying Party under the terms of this Agreement.  If the Transition Committee determines that such other Party shall provide such Excluded Service to the identifying Party (each such Excluded Service, a “Reinstated Service”), then the Transition Committee will act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Reinstated Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.  The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Reinstated Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Reinstated Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)                                  If, following the Effective Time and during the term of this Agreement, a Party identifies a service, other than an Omitted Service or an Excluded Service, that it desires for another Party or any of its Subsidiaries to provide to the identifying Party (each such service, an “Additional Service”), then such other Party shall consider such request, in conjunction with the Transition Committee; provided that nothing shall require such other Party to provide such Additional Service to the identifying Party.  If such other Party consents to providing an Additional Service to the identifying Party, then Abbott and AbbVie shall cooperate and act in good faith to create a supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto for each Additional Service in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The applicable Provider and Recipient shall (i) amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to include such Additional Service and (ii) promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each such supplemental subsection of Exhibit A hereto and each such amended Schedule 1 to such Joinder Agreement shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement and the Additional Services set forth therein shall be deemed “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.03.                          Performance of Services.

(a)                                 Each Provider shall perform and cause its Subsidiaries to perform all Services to be provided by such Provider in a manner that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in nature, quality and timeliness to the analogous services provided by Abbott to the Abbott Subsidiaries prior to the Commencement Date.  Each Provider shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, perform its duties and responsibilities hereunder in good faith.

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall require a Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service to the extent the manner of such performance would constitute a

5

violation of applicable Laws, the Abbott Code of Business Conduct or any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party.  If the Provider is or becomes aware of any such restriction on the Provider, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly send a Notice to the Recipient of any such restriction.  The Parties agree to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed any Service in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.03.  Any costs and expenses incurred by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtaining any such Third Party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be performed (i) any Service (other than an Additional Service) shall be split between the Provider and the Recipient in accordance with such Parties’ respective utilization of the applicable Service at such time (except with respect to fees imposed by Third Parties to allow joint participation by the Provider and the Recipient under information technology contracts and licenses, which fees shall be split equally between the Provider and the Recipient) and (ii) any Additional Service shall be solely the responsibility of the Recipient.  If, with respect to a Service, the Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent or the performance of such Service by the Provider would continue to constitute a violation of applicable Laws or the Abbott Code of Business Conduct, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to provide such Services in a manner as closely as possible to the standards described in this Section 2.03 that would apply absent the exception provided for in the first sentence of this Section 2.03(b).

(c)                                  No Provider shall be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity in any calendar year that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services provided to the applicable Recipient during calendar year 2012, as set forth in the 2012 plan (without reference to the transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement) (the “Service Baseline Period”).  If a Recipient requests that the Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service in a volume or quantity that exceeds the highest volumes or quantities of analogous services that were provided to such Recipient during the Service Baseline Period, then: (i) if such higher volume or quantity results from fluctuations occurring in the ordinary course of business of such Recipient, the applicable Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such requested higher volume or quantity; and (ii) if such higher volume or quantity results from any other source, including an acquisition, merger, purchase or other business combination by such Recipient, the Transition Committee shall determine whether the applicable Provider will be required to provide such requested higher volume or quantity.  If the Transition Committee determines that the Provider shall provide the requested higher volume or quantity then such higher volume or quantity shall be documented in a written agreement signed by the applicable Recipient and Provider who shall promptly provide a copy of such written agreement to the Transition Committee.  The volume or quantity increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the “Services” provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d)                                 (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to perform or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any other Person other than the applicable Recipient, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.03, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES

6

THAT ALL SERVICES AND PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, THAT EACH RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT EACH PROVIDER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

(e)                                  Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on any other Party.

Section 2.04.                          Charges for Services. Each Recipient of Services shall pay to the Provider of such Services a monthly fee for the Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each fee constituting a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be agreed to by the Parties from time to time.  During the term of this Agreement, the amount of a Charge for any Services may adjust to the extent of:  (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to by the Parties; (b) any Charges applicable to any Omitted Services, Reinstated Services or Additional Services; and (c) in accordance with Section 2.08, any proportional adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by any Third Party provider that is providing Services.  Together with any monthly invoice for Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to the extent such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such Charges.

Section 2.05.                          Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Expenses. The Recipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including reasonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the Charges for such Services; provided, however, that any such cost or expense not consistent with historical practice between the Parties for any Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall require advance approval of the Recipient.  Any authorized travel-related expenses incurred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance with the Provider’s then applicable business travel policies.

Section 2.06.                          Changes to Services. Except as provided in Section 2.08 and subject to the performance standards set forth in this Article II, each Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services as required under Section 2.03(a) if such Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if such Provider furnishes to the applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such changes; provided, however, that no Provider may modify any of its accounting policies that would directly or indirectly impact the Services without the prior written consent of the applicable Recipient (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  No such change shall affect the timeliness or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service.  If any such change by the Provider reasonably requires the Recipient to incur incremental costs and

7

expenses in order to continue to receive and utilize the applicable Services in the same manner as the Recipient was receiving and utilizing such Service prior to such change, the Provider shall be required to reimburse the Recipient for all such reasonable costs and expenses.  Upon request, the Recipient shall provide the Provider with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Provider to the extent such documentation is in the Recipient’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such incremental costs and expenses.

Section 2.07.                          Transitional Nature of Services. The Parties acknowledge the transitional nature of the Services and agree to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or its designee).

Section 2.08.                          Use of Third Parties to Provide Services. Each Provider may perform its obligations to provide a Service through agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, provided that the delegation of performance of the applicable Service does not impact the timeliness or quality of such Service, in accordance with the following:

(a)                                 Provider is Currently Using Third Parties as of the Effective Time.  If, as of the Effective Time, (i) a Provider is obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors, or (ii) a Provider is obtaining services from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors which services the Provider shall only provide to the Recipient under this Agreement and the Provider shall not otherwise require such analogous services for itself during the term of this Agreement, then the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by such Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; or

(b)                                 Provider Elects to Switch to Third Parties After the Effective Time.

(i)                                     If, following the Effective Time, a Provider elects to obtain analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) such Provider shall furnish to the applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is obtaining from such Third Parties may be adjusted proportionally by such Provider pursuant to Section 2.04(c) to reflect any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed by the Third Party that is providing such Services; and

(ii)                                  If, however, following the Effective Time, the Provider is not obtaining analogous services for itself from agents, subcontractors or independent contractors (A) such Provider shall furnish to the applicable Recipient reasonable prior Notice (in content and timing) respecting such use of Third Parties, and (B) the Charges for the applicable Services such Provider is providing through such Third Parties appointed following the Effective Time may not be adjusted by such Provider as a result of any adjustments in the rates or charges imposed by such Third Parties.

8

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Provider shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement by use of such agents, subcontractors or independent contractors.

Section 2.09.                          Joinder Agreement. Each of Abbott and AbbVie shall cause their respective Subsidiaries who are to provide or receive Services to become a party to this Agreement and adopt this Agreement with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party hereto by executing a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (each, a “Joinder Agreement”).  Each such Joinder Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such Joinder Agreement.

ARTICLE III

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Section 3.01.                          Access.

(a)                                 AbbVie shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Abbott and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of AbbVie and its Subsidiaries that is necessary for Abbott and its Subsidiaries to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing right of access, AbbVie shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Abbott, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, Information, systems, infrastructure and personnel of AbbVie and its Subsidiaries as reasonably necessary for Abbott to verify the adequacy of internal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed in connection with the Services being provided by AbbVie or its Subsidiaries, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; provided that (i) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) in the event that AbbVie determines that providing such access could be commercially detrimental, violate any Law or agreement, or waive any attorney-client privilege, then Abbott and AbbVie shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence.  Abbott agrees that all of its and its Subsidiaries’ employees shall, and that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the property of AbbVie and its Subsidiaries, or when given access to any facilities, Information, systems, infrastructure or personnel of AbbVie and its Subsidiaries, conform to the policies and procedures of AbbVie and any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, concerning health, safety, conduct and security which are made known to Abbott from time to time.

ARTICLE V

TERM AND TERMINATION

Section 5.01.                          Term. With respect to each Recipient and the applicable Provider of the applicable Services, this Agreement shall commence on the commencement of the applicable Service Period and shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of:  (a) the last date on which such Provider is obligated to provide any Service to such Recipient in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (b) the mutual written agreement of Abbott and AbbVie to terminate this Agreement in its entirety.  Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Service for a given Recipient at the close of business on the last day of the Service Period for such Service for such Recipient.

Section 5.02.                          Early Termination. Without prejudice to a Recipient’s rights with respect to a Force Majeure, a Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any individual Service but not a portion thereof:

(a)                                 for any reason or no reason, upon the giving of an advance Notice to the Provider of such Service not less than the shorter of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half the original Service Period for such Service; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; or

(b)                                 if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall continue to exist forty five (45) days after receipt by the Provider of Notice of such failure from the Recipient; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Recipient shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between such Provider and Recipient (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Provider has cured the applicable breach.

A Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual Service, but not a portion thereof, at any time upon prior Notice to the Recipient if the Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to such Services, including making payment of Charges for such Service when due, and such failure shall continue uncured for a period of forty five (45) days after receipt by the Recipient of a Notice of such failure from the Provider; provided, however, that any such termination may only be effective as of the last day of a month; and provided, further, that the Provider shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such forty five (45)-day period, there remains a good faith Dispute between such Provider and Recipient (undertaken in accordance with the terms of Section 9.07) as to whether the Recipient has cured the applicable breach.  If a Provider has terminated a Service in accordance with the previous sentence, the Provider shall, without the consent of the Recipient, amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement to reflect any terminated Service by removing the “X” with respect to such terminated Service for such Recipient and shall promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) there may

11

be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement, (B) upon the request of a Party, the Transition Committee shall determine whether (1) any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that such Party is seeking to terminate in accordance with this Section 5.02 and (2) the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 5.02 prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, and (C) in the event that the Transition Committee has determined that such interdependencies exist and that the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by the termination of another Service in accordance with Section 5.02 prior to the expiration of the period of the maximum duration for such Service, the applicable Provider and Recipient shall negotiate in good faith to amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement relating to the termination dates of such impacted Services and shall promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee. Each such amended Joinder Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such amendment.

Section 5.03.                          Reduction of Services. A Recipient may from time to time request a reduction in part of the scope or amount of any Service; provided that any such reduction may only take effect as of the end of a month.  If requested to do so by a Recipient, the Transition Committee shall discuss in good faith appropriate adjustments to the relevant Charges in light of all relevant factors.  If, after such discussions, the Transition Committee does not approve any requested reduction of the scope or amount of any Service and the relevant Charges in connection therewith, then (a) there shall be no change to the Charges under this Agreement and (b) unless the applicable Recipient and Provider otherwise agree in writing, there shall be no change to the scope or amount of any Services under this Agreement.  If, after such discussions, the Transition Committee approves any reduction of Service, such reduction of Service shall be documented in a written agreement executed on behalf of the applicable Recipient and Provider and a copy of such written agreement shall promptly be provided to the Transition Committee.  Additionally, in connection with any such reduction of Service, the Transition Committee may approve an appropriate reduction to the Charges related to the applicable reduced Service.

Section 5.04.                          Extension of Services.

(a)                                 The Recipient may request to extend the Service Period of any Service (each such extension, a “Service Extension”) one time for each Service unless the Transition Committee shall authorize additional extensions, by providing the Provider of such Service with advance Notice not less than the shorter of (i) one hundred eighty (180) days, or (ii) one-half of the original Service Period for such Service.

(b)                                 If the Recipient is requesting a Service Extension for a particular Service for the first time and the requested Service Extension is for a period of twelve (12) months or less past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service, then the Provider shall be obligated to provide such requested Service Extension and the applicable Recipient and Provider shall in good faith (i) negotiate the terms of an amendment to the applicable Joinder Agreement and promptly provide a copy thereof to the Transition Committee, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (ii) determine

12

the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  If (A) the requested Service Extension is for a period of longer than twelve (12) months past the originally scheduled expiration of the Service Period for the applicable Service or (B) the applicable Recipient has previously requested a Service Extension for the particular Service that the Recipient is currently requesting a Service Extension, then the Transition Committee shall determine whether the Provider shall provide the applicable Service for the requested Service Extension period.  If the Transition Committee determines that the Provider shall provide such Service during the requested Service Extension period, then the applicable Recipient and Provider shall in good faith (1) negotiate the terms of an amendment to Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement and promptly provide a copy thereof to the Transition Committee, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Service, and (2) determine the costs and expenses (which shall not include any Charges payable under this Agreement), if any, that would be incurred by the Provider or the Recipient, as the case may be, in connection with the provision of such Service Extension, which costs and expenses shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (w) there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement, (x) the Provider’s ability to extend the provision of a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement may be dependent on the extension of another Service, (y) upon the request of a Party, the Transition Committee shall determine whether any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that the Recipient is seeking to extend in accordance with this Section 5.04 and (z) to the extent the Transition Committee has determined that such interdependencies exist, the applicable Provider and Recipient shall negotiate in good faith to amend Schedule 1 of the applicable Joinder Agreement relating to the termination dates of such impacted Services and shall promptly deliver a copy of such amendment to the Transition Committee.  Each such amended Joinder Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such amendment.

Section 5.05.                          Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of any Service for any Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service shall have no further obligation to provide the terminated Service to such Recipient, and such Recipient shall have no obligation to pay any future Charges relating to any such Service; provided, however, that the Recipient shall remain obligated to the relevant Provider for the Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the effective date of termination for such Service.  In connection with the termination of any Service, the provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, this Article V, Article VII and Article IX, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and Liability for all due and unpaid Charges, shall continue to survive indefinitely.

Section 5.06.                          Information Transmission. The Provider, on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to the Recipient, in accordance with Section 6.01(a) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, any Information received or computed by the Provider for the benefit of such Recipient concerning the relevant Service during the Service Period; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided for under the terms of the

13

Information Technology Agreement (a) the Provider shall not have any obligation to provide or cause to provide Information in any non-standard format, (b) the Provider and its Subsidiaries shall be reimbursed for their reasonable costs in accordance with Section 6.01(c) of the Separation and Distribution Agreement for creating, gathering, copying, transporting and otherwise providing such Information, and (c) the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Subject to Section 6.04, Abbott, on behalf of itself and each of the Abbott Subsidiaries, and AbbVie, on behalf of itself and each of the AbbVie Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Abbott’s confidential and proprietary Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all confidential and proprietary Information concerning the other Party (or its business) and the other Party’s Subsidiaries (or their respective businesses) that is either in its possession (including confidential and proprietary Information in its possession prior to the Effective Time) or furnished by such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such confidential and proprietary Information other than for such purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such confidential and proprietary Information has been (a) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in violation of this Agreement; (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such confidential and proprietary Information; or (c) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the respective proprietary or confidential Information of such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries.  If any confidential and proprietary Information of Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform the Services.  If any confidential and proprietary Information of AbbVie or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to Abbott or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed confidential and proprietary Information shall be used only as required to perform such Services.

Section 6.02.                          No Release. Each Party agrees (a) not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Information addressed in Section 6.01 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such Information in their capacities as such, and except in compliance with Section 6.04, and (b) to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.03 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Section 6.03.                          Third Party Information; Privacy and Data Protection Laws. Each Party acknowledges that it and its respective Subsidiaries may presently have and, following the Effective Time, may gain access to or possession of confidential or proprietary Information of, or

14

personal Information relating to, Third Parties (a) that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements entered into between such Third Parties, on the one hand, and another Party or another Party’s Subsidiaries, on the other hand, prior to the Effective Time; or (b) that, as between the Parties, was originally collected by another Party or another Party’s Subsidiaries and that may be subject to and protected by privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws.  As provided in more detail in a data protection agreement to be entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, each Party agrees that it shall hold, protect and use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to hold, protect and use, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary Information of, or personal Information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

Section 6.04.                          Protective Arrangements. In the event that any Party or any of its Subsidiaries is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to applicable Law to disclose or provide any confidential or proprietary Information of another Party that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, or to disclose or provide any Personal Data that it processes on behalf of another Party in accordance with the data protection agreement to be entered into between Abbott and AbbVie as of the Effective Time, such Party shall, unless prohibited by such request or requirement of the applicable Governmental Authority or under applicable Law, provide such other Party with Notice of such request or demand as promptly as practicable under the circumstances so that such other Party shall have an opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order, at such other Party’s own cost and expense.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such Information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority.

4)                            Any payment required to be made by Abbott pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iv) shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent from the date a refund is received by Abbott.  Any payment required to be made by AbbVie pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)(iv) shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus two percent beginning thirty (30) days after Abbott notifies AbbVie of the amount to be repaid.  Such interest shall be paid at the same time as the payment to which it relates.

Notwithstanding Section 2.01 —

(i)                           Payments by AbbVie to Abbott.  Except as provided in Sections 3.01(b) and 3.02, if as a result of a Determination, any adjustment shall be made to any Tax Return relating, in whole or in part, to Tax for which any member of the Abbott Group is responsible, and if such adjustment results in both (x) a Tax Detriment to any member of the Abbott Group for any taxable period and (y) a Tax Benefit to any member of the AbbVie Group for any Post-Distribution Period, then AbbVie shall pay to Abbott an amount equal to the lesser of the Tax Benefit for each taxable period and the Corresponding Portion of the Tax Detriment.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.02(b)(i) shall apply to any adjustment under Section 482 of the Code or any similar provisions increasing the amount of payments received or

12

on a Straddle Period Tax Return for any member of the AbbVie Group, AbbVie shall provide Abbott with a copy of such Tax Return at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date.  Abbott shall notify AbbVie of any disagreement within 20 days of Abbott’s receipt of such Tax Return.  Any dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures provided by this Agreement.

(c)                         Abbott shall provide AbbVie with notice of any Tax election that Abbott intends to file for any member of the AbbVie Group on any Tax Return for any Pre-Distribution Period within forty-five (45) days before such Tax Return will be filed.  AbbVie shall have the right to review such elections and request, within 15 days of such notice, that an alternative election be made.  If Abbott reasonably determines that such alternative election will not result in any increased Tax liability or reduced Tax attribute of Abbott or any Abbott Affiliate, Abbott shall comply with such request.

Section 2.05                            Cooperation, Exchange of Information, and Tax Records.

(a)                        Cooperation and Exchange of Information.  Each Party shall provide to the other such cooperation and information as reasonably may be requested in connection with (i) filing any Tax Return, amended return or claim for refund, (ii) determining a liability for Tax or a right to a refund of Tax, or (iii) participating in or conducting any Tax Contest.  Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Records.  Each Party shall devote the personnel and resources necessary in order to carry out this Section 2.05(a) and shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder.  Each Party shall carry out its responsibilities under this Section 2.05(a) charging to the other only the out-of-pocket costs actually incurred.  Any information obtained under this Section 2.05(a) shall be kept in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to Abbott’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, except as otherwise may be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.  AbbVie shall execute all necessary or appropriate forms, including powers of attorney, reasonably requested by Abbott in connection with any action taken by Abbott pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)                        Record Retention.  Each of Abbott and AbbVie shall retain all Tax Records in its possession as of the Effective Time relating to any Pre-Distribution Period that are relevant to the other Party for purposes described in Section

(a)                        Notice.  Each Party shall provide prompt notice to the other Party of any pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or proceeding, or other Tax Contest, of which it becomes aware, related to Tax for which it is indemnified by the other Party hereunder.  Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing any asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice and other documents received from any Tax Authority with respect to any such matters.  If an Indemnified Party has knowledge of an asserted Tax liability with respect to a matter for which it is to be indemnified hereunder and such Party fails to give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice of such asserted Tax liability, then (i) if the Indemnifying Party is precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum as a result of the failure to give prompt notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Tax resulting from such assertion of Tax liability, and (ii) if the Indemnifying Party is not precluded from contesting the asserted Tax liability in any forum, but such failure to give prompt notice results in a monetary detriment to the Indemnifying Party, then any amount that the Indemnifying Party is otherwise required to pay the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of such detriment.

(b)                        Control of Tax Contests.

(i)                           AbbVie.  AbbVie shall have full responsibility and discretion in conducting, including settling, any Tax Contest involving a Tax for which it is responsible under Section 2.01(b), except for any Tax Contest involving any Covered Transaction Tax for which AbbVie is responsible under Section 3.01(b) and any Transition Period Tax for which AbbVie is responsible under Section 3.02.

(ii)                        Abbott.  Abbott shall have full responsibility and discretion in conducting, including settling, any Tax Contest involving (x) any Tax for which it is responsible under Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(d), (y) any Covered Transaction Tax for which AbbVie is responsible under Section 3.01(b), except as provided in paragraph (iii), below and (z) any Transition Period Tax for which AbbVie is responsible under Section 3.02.  Abbott shall consult in good faith with AbbVie in connection with any Tax Contest described in clauses (y) or (z) of this Section 2.06(b)(ii).

14

as a result of the application of Section 355(e) of the Code if, and only if, (x) AbbVie has acknowledged in writing its liability for such Covered Transaction Tax, (y) AbbVie shall have provided Abbott with a letter of credit in a form reasonably acceptable to Abbott and issued by a major money center commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Abbott, not expiring before a Determination has occurred with respect to Abbott’s Tax for the Post-Distribution Period that gave rise to the Covered Transactions Tax at issue, and in an amount equal to the maximum amount of Covered Transaction Tax at issue in the Tax Contest and (z) no Tax Return of any member of the Abbott Group with respect to which any member of the Abbott Group may reasonably be viewed as having an actual or potential liability for any Tax not indemnified against by AbbVie is held open as a result of such Tax Contest.  Abbott shall not settle any Tax Contest described in this paragraph (iii) without the consent of AbbVie, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c)                         Election.  If as a result of an adjustment to Abbott’s Tax Return from a Tax Contest, an election is available under IRS Revenue Procedure 99-32, 1999-2 C.B. 296, (or successor guidance or regulations) that would allow an AbbVie Affiliate to transfer cash to AbbVie (or other AbbVie Affiliate) tax-free for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, such election shall be made by Abbott unless Abbott determines, in its sole discretion, that making such election will result in an adverse Tax consequence, including the loss of a Tax Benefit, for it or any of its Affiliates.

ARTICLE IV.   REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

Section 4.01                            Representations.

(a)                        Abbott represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Affiliates knows of any fact that would jeopardize the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling, the Other Tax Rulings or Tax Opinion or that otherwise would result in a Covered Transaction Tax.

(b)                        AbbVie represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Affiliates knows of any fact that would jeopardize the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling, the Other Tax Rulings or Tax Opinion, or that otherwise would result in a Covered Transaction Tax.

Section 4.02                            Covenants.

(a)                        Successor Employer.  Effective for all payments of wages and other compensation starting on and after the date of the Distribution, Abbott and AbbVie covenant and agree that Abbott will control the payments of wages and other compensation to all of the U.S. Transferred Employees and independent contractors as of 2013 and through the duration of Abbott’s obligations under the U.S. Payroll Processing & Services Lead Sheet and the Accounts Payable U.S. Services BSP Transition Services Lead Sheet, each of which are attached to the U.S. Transition Services Agreement, and Abbott shall assume responsibilities for performing required withholdings of Federal, state and local income Taxes and the employee share of FICA from all payments made by Abbott on behalf of AbbVie pursuant to this Section 4.02, coordinating with AbbVie’s designated brokers which handle exercises of stock options, vesting of restricted stock and other payments of stock compensation so as to ensure correct processing of withholdings and other payroll Taxes owed with respect to such compensation, calculating the employer-shares of payroll Taxes owed with respect to all such compensation, and depositing such Taxes under AbbVie’s Employer Identification Number (“EIN”).  Abbott and AbbVie further agree that, as part of its responsibilities for processing all such compensation, Abbott will file all Forms W-2 and other payroll tax forms for the U.S. Transferred Employees as of 2013 and for the duration of Abbott’s obligations under the U.S. Payroll Processing & Services BSP Transition Services Lead Sheet and the Accounts Payable U.S. Services BSP Transition Services Lead Sheet, will file all Forms 1099, where required, reporting all other payments to persons contracting with AbbVie, and will file all Forms 940, 941 and 945 and state or local equivalents of such forms, as required, under AbbVie’s name, address, and EIN.  AbbVie covenants and agrees to cooperate with the administration and implementation of these compensation payments and Tax deposit and filing procedures, and to reimburse Abbott both for all such payments of compensation and payroll taxes described above, and for Abbott’s costs of processing this compensation and filing these Tax Returns.  AbbVie further covenants and agrees to indemnify and reimburse Abbott for the costs of responding to any notices from any government authority, and for any additional Taxes, fines, interest and/or penalties imposed on Abbott with respect to any deficiencies in any deposits or filings made by Abbott in

17

performing the compensation payment, withholding, depositing and Tax form filing functions described above.

(b)                        Conduct.  AbbVie covenants and agrees that it shall not take, and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from taking, any action that reasonably may be expected to result in any increased Tax liability or reduced Tax attribute of any member of the Abbott Group.  This includes taking any action that is inconsistent with the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling, the Tax Opinion or the Other Tax Rulings (any such action, including any action referred to in Section 4.02(b)(i) through (iv), is referred to in this Agreement as a “Specified Action”).  Without limiting the foregoing:

(i)                           Specified Actions.  Any time before the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, AbbVie shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates to not) (A) liquidate, merge, or consolidate with or into any corporation that was not already wholly owned by AbbVie or by a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie prior to such transaction; (B) issue any of its capital stock in one or more transactions, other than (i) issuances to employees, directors, or independent contractors in connection with the performance of services for AbbVie (that are not excessive by reference to the services performed) which issuances either (x) are with respect to the exercise of options of AbbVie that are substituted for Abbott options or (y) satisfy Safe Harbor VIII of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d) to not be treated for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code to be part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Distribution or the Internal Distributions or (ii) issuances of stock that satisfy Safe Harbor IX of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(d); (C) redeem, purchase, or otherwise reacquire any of its capital stock in one or more transactions; (D) change the voting rights of any of its stock; (E) issue any options to acquire AbbVie Shares other than options that satisfy Safe Harbor VIII of Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-7(e)(3)(ii); (F) sell, exchange, distribute, or otherwise dispose of, other than in the ordinary course of business, all or a substantial part of the assets of any of the trades or businesses relied on to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code; or (G) discontinue or cause to be discontinued the active conduct of any of the trades or businesses relied on to satisfy Section 355(b) of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (A) through (E) of this Section 4.02(b)(i) shall not apply unless there are transactions described in such clauses any time before the second anniversary of the Distribution Date that result in one or more Persons acquiring directly or indirectly stock representing, in the aggregate, 25 percent or greater interest in AbbVie (as defined in Sections 355(d)(4) and 355(e) of the Code).  This Section 4.02(b)(i) and the application thereof is intended to monitor compliance with Section 355(e) of the Code and shall be interpreted accordingly. Any clarification of, or change in, the statute or regulations

18

promulgated under Section 355(e) of the Code shall be incorporated in this definition and its interpretation.

(ii)                        No Inconsistent Actions.  Regardless of any change in circumstances, AbbVie covenants and agrees that it shall not take any action (and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from taking any action) that is inconsistent with any factual statements or representations in the Private Letter Ruling or the Other Tax Rulings on or before the second anniversary of the Distribution Date other than as permitted in this Section 4.02.  For this purpose an action is considered inconsistent with a representation if the representation states that there is no plan or intention to take such action.

(iii)                     Section 355(e).  Without in any manner limiting paragraph (i) or (ii) of Section 4.02(b), AbbVie covenants and agrees that, through the second anniversary of the Distribution Date, it shall refrain from entering into (and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from entering into) any agreement, understanding, arrangement, or substantial negotiation with respect to any transaction or event (including stock issuances, option grants, capital contributions, acquisitions, or changes in the voting power of any of its stock), that could reasonably be expected to cause Section 355(e) of the Code to apply to the Distribution or any Internal Distribution.

(c)                         Amended or Supplemental Rulings.  AbbVie covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from filing, and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from filing, a request for any amendment or supplement to the Private Letter Ruling or the Other Tax Rulings subsequent to the Distribution Date without the consent of Abbott, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d)                        Tax Returns.  Each of Abbott and AbbVie covenants and agrees that it shall refrain from taking, and it shall cause its Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on a Tax Return that is inconsistent with (i) the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling or Tax Opinion, (ii) the External and Internal Contributions qualifying for Tax-free treatment under Section 361, (iii) the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Other Tax Rulings, (iv) the allocation of the benefits and burdens of AbbVie assets and liabilities pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04 of the Distribution Agreement, (v) the reporting positions set forth in Section 4.02(g) of this Agreement regarding the ICO Agreement, or (vi) the documents effecting any transaction undertaken in connection with the Separation that is not addressed by the Private Letter Ruling, any Other Tax Ruling or Tax Opinion.

(e)                         Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, AbbVie shall be permitted to take an action inconsistent with Section 4.02(b), if, prior to taking such action, AbbVie provides notification to Abbott of its plans with respect to such

19

action and promptly responds to any inquiries by Abbott following such notification, and (unless Abbott agrees otherwise in writing) either:

(i)                           In the case of the Distribution or any Internal Distribution, AbbVie obtains a supplemental ruling with respect to the action from the Internal Revenue Service that is reasonably satisfactory to Abbott (except that AbbVie shall not submit any supplemental ruling request if Abbott determines in good faith that filing such request could have a materially adverse effect on Abbott), on the basis of facts and representations consistent with the facts at the time of such action, that such action will not affect the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling,

(ii)                        In case of the Distribution or any Internal Distribution, AbbVie obtains an opinion, reasonably acceptable to Abbott, of an independent nationally recognized Tax counsel, reasonably acceptable to Abbott, on the basis of facts and representations consistent with the facts at the time of such action, that such action will not affect the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Private Letter Ruling or the Internal Distributions, or

(iii)                     In case of the Other Transactions, AbbVie obtains:

(a)                        a supplemental ruling with respect to the action from the relevant Tax Authority that is reasonably satisfactory to Abbott (except that AbbVie shall not submit any supplemental ruling request if Abbott determines in good faith that filing such request could have a materially adverse effect on Abbott or any of its Affiliates), or

(b)                        an opinion, reasonably acceptable to Abbott, of an independent Tax counsel, reasonably acceptable to Abbott, on the basis of facts and representations consistent with the facts at the time of such action, that such action will not affect the Tax treatment of the transactions provided by the Other Tax Rulings.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, AbbVie shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify Abbott and hold Abbott harmless from, any Covered Transaction Tax resulting from a Specified Action of AbbVie or any of AbbVie’s Affiliates, regardless of whether the exception of this Section 4.02(e) is satisfied with respect to such act.

(f)                          Duty to Mitigate Recognition or Recapture of Income. Prior to any event that may result in recognition or recapture of income (including under any gain recognition agreement entered into pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8), Abbott and AbbVie shall use (and shall cause the members of the Abbott Group and AbbVie Group, respectively, to use) all commercially

20

reasonably efforts to eliminate such gain recognition or recapture of income or otherwise avoid or minimize the impact thereof to the other party, including by the execution of an appropriate gain recognition agreement pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-8.

(g)                         ICO Agreement

(i)                           Deferred AbbVie Local Business.  A payment made under an ICO Agreement in connection with the transfer and acquisition of a Deferred AbbVie Local Business by AbbVie or an AbbVie Affiliate following the Distribution Date and the corresponding payment by Abbott or an Abbott Affiliate to AbbVie or an AbbVie Affiliate shall be characterized for U.S. income Tax purposes and on any related Tax Return as the purchase by Abbott or the relevant Abbott Affiliate, as the case may be, of the Deferred AbbVie Local Business of the Abbott Affiliate operating such business following the Distribution Date in exchange for such Abbott Affiliate transferring the Deferred AbbVie Local Business to the AbbVie Affiliate (the “Reporting Position”) occurring on the Distribution Date.  The Parties agree that if a Tax Authority challenges the Reporting Position, the Parties will jointly defend such position until a Determination.  If the Determination with respect to such challenge does not confirm the Reporting Position, the Party receiving a Tax Benefit as a result of such Determination shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefit to the other Party incurring the Tax Detriment, if any, under the principles of Section 2.02(b) hereof but in no event exceeding the amount of such Tax Detriment.

(ii)                        Other Payments and Income.  The payment by Abbott or any Abbott Affiliate or by AbbVie or any AbbVie Affiliate under Section 2.05 or Section 2.6 of any ICO Agreement shall be characterized for U.S. income Tax purposes, as paid by or received by Abbott or any Abbott Affiliate in its capacity as agent of AbbVie or any AbbVie Affiliate with respect to the Deferred AbbVie Local Business (the “Payment Reporting Position”).  AbbVie or the relevant AbbVie Affiliate shall account for the net income of the Deferred AbbVie Local Business following the Distribution Date for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and on the relevant U.S. federal income Tax Returns and Abbott or the relevant Abbott Affiliate shall not report such income for purposes of filing their U.S. federal income Tax Returns (the “Income Reporting Position”).  Any foreign Taxes paid with respect to the income of the Deferred AbbVie Local Business shall be, for all U.S. income Tax purposes, for the account of AbbVie or the relevant AbbVie Affiliate and Abbott or the relevant AbbVie Affiliate shall not claim such foreign income Taxes for U.S. income Tax purposes on any Tax Return (the “Foreign Tax Credit Reporting Position”).  The Parties further agree to defend the Payment Reporting Position, the Income Reporting Position and the Foreign Tax Credit Reporting Position if challenged

21
