(i)    if any Lender shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any
requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that
it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its
obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain
Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately
notify the Borrower and each other Lender and the right of the Borrower and any
Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the portion of such
Borrowing advanced by the Lender which has provided the notice described above
or the portion of any subsequent Borrowing advanced by such Lender shall be
suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist, and each such Advance shall be a Base Rate
Advance;
(ii)    if no Reference Bank furnishes timely information to the Administrative
Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances
comprising any requested Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall immediately
notify each Lender and the Borrower and the right of the Borrower and any
Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or
any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders and the Borrower that

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19

the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance
comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; and
(iii)    if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the
date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or
maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and each other Lender
and the right of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar
Rate Advances for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended,
and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance. The
Lenders will review regularly the circumstances causing such suspension, and as
soon as such circumstances no longer exist the Required Lenders will notify the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower that
such suspension is terminated.
(c)    Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower
or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be. In the case of any Borrowing that
the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate
Advances, the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall
indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender
as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such

loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender
to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when
such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and
prior to 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing comprised
of Base Rate Advances, that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available
to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so
made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the
Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such
amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of
any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any,
hereunder to make its

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

SECTION 2.07. Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower or
Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall pay to each Lender, so long as
such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or
assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest
on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender to
the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, from the date of such
Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per
annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the
Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate
obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus
the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period,
payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such
additional interest

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22

shall be determined by such Lender and the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as
the case may be, shall be notified of such additional interest.
SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) If Reuters LIBOR01 Page is
unavailable, each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent
timely information for the purpose of determining the Base Rate from time to
time in effect and each Eurodollar Rate, as applicable.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower or
Borrowing Subsidiary and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined
by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.06, provided that if
Reuters LIBOR01 Page is unavailable, such rate of interest shall be determined
on the basis of timely information provided by no fewer than two Reference Banks
(it being understood that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
disclose to any party hereto any information regarding any Reference Bank or any
rate provided by such Reference Bank, including, without limitation, whether a
Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual
Reference Bank and (ii) any such determination shall be made in good faith (and
not on an arbitrary and capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated
customers of the Administrative Agent after consideration of factors as the
Administrative Agent then reasonably determines to be relevant)..
SECTION 2.09. Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as
the case may be, may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent stating the
proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such
notice is given, the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be,
shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances comprising part
of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and the
losses, costs and expenses, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.
(New York City time), on the third Business Day prior to the date of the
proposed prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or on the Business
Day prior to such date in the case of Base Rate Advances. Each partial
prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and any partial prepayment
of any Eurodollar Rate Advances shall not leave outstanding less than
$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such Advances comprising part of any
Borrowing.
SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction
of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of
reserve requirements, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, included in the
Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or
regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),
there shall be any increase in the costs to any Lender of agreeing to make or
making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall
from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such
increased costs for a period beginning not more than 90 days prior to such
demand. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost submitted to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, setting forth in
reasonable detail the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23

calculation of the increased costs, shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)    If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or
any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority
(whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender which decreases such Lender’s return on its capital
(after taking into account any changes in the Eurodollar Rate and Eurodollar
Rate Reserve Percentage) and that the amount of such capital is increased by or
based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other
commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such
demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent
that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable
to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder, such
compensation to cover a period beginning not more than 90 days prior to such
demand. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculation of the amount required to be paid hereunder, shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, for the purposes of this Section 2.10, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations,
guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (y) all requests, rules,
regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank
for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or
any successor or similar authority ) or the United States or foreign regulatory
authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this clause
(y) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law
regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations.
(a) The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall make each
payment hereunder and under any Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available funds, without setoff or
counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be
distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or
commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07,
2.10, 2.12, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective
Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to payment of any other
amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office, in each case to be applied according to the terms of this
Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a
Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.14 or an extension of the Termination
Date pursuant to Section 2.15, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained
therein in the Register, from

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24

and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, as the case may be,
the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes
issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the
Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and
recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to
Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment
and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and
under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender’s
assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall
make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such
effective date directly between themselves.
(a)    Each of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary hereby authorizes each
Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due
hereunder or under any Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time
against any or all of the Borrower’s or such Borrowing Subsidiary’s, as the case
may be, accounts with such Lender any amount so due.
(b)    All computations of interest based on clause (a) of the definition of
“Base Rate” shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on
clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, the Eurodollar Rate or the
Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fees and facility fees shall be made by the
Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be
included in the computation of payment of interest, commitment fee or facility
fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in
the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day.
(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent
may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative
Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower
shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each
Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

25

SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Subject to subsection (f) below, any and all payments
hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11,
(i) if made by the Borrower, free and clear of and without deduction for any and
all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings of the United States of America or any state thereof or political
subdivision of any of them or any other jurisdiction from or through which the
Borrower elects to make such payment, and all liabilities with respect thereto,
and (ii) if made by a Borrowing Subsidiary, free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings of any jurisdiction within which it is organized or does
business or is managed or controlled or has its head or principal office or from
or through which such Borrowing Subsidiary elects to make such payment, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (A) in the case of each Lender and
the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by any jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or, as to the United
States of America or any state thereof or any political subdivision of any of
them, is doing business or any political subdivision thereof and by the
jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political
subdivision thereof, (B) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative
Agent, any income tax or franchise tax imposed on it by a jurisdiction (except
the United States of America or any state thereof or any political subdivision
of any of them) as a result of a connection between such jurisdiction and such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) (other than as a result
of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s having entered into this
Agreement, performing hereunder or enforcing this Agreement), (C) any payment of
tax which the Borrower is obliged to make pursuant to Section 159 of the Income
and Corporation Taxes Act 1970 of the United Kingdom (or any re-enactment or
replacement thereof) on behalf of a Lender which is resident for tax purposes in
the United Kingdom but is not recognized as a bank by H.M. Inland Revenue, (D)
Other Taxes as defined in subsection (b) below and (E) any United States
withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”). If any Person shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any
Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by
the Borrower or applicable Borrowing Subsidiary as may be necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such
Borrowing Subsidiary shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such
Borrowing Subsidiary shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary shall pay any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or
under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”). Each Bank and the Administrative Agent represents that at the date of
this Agreement it is not aware of any Other Taxes applicable to it. Each Lender
and the Administrative Agent agrees to notify the Borrower or such Borrowing
Subsidiary on becoming aware of the imposition of any such Other Taxes.

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26

(c)    The Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary will indemnify each Lender and
the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on
amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses not attributable to acts or omissions of any
party other than the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days from the
date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written
demand therefor.
(d)    As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes (other than
Taxes of the United States of America or any state thereof or political
subdivision of any of them), the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (if any
such receipt is reasonably available), other evidence of such payment or, if
neither a receipt nor other evidence is available, a statement by the Borrower
or such Borrowing Subsidiary confirming payment thereof.
(e)    (i) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will, from time to time as
requested by the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary in writing, provide the
Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary with any applicable forms, completed and
signed, that may be required by the tax authority of a jurisdiction in order to
certify such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s exemption from or applicable
reduction in any applicable Taxes of such jurisdiction with respect to any and
all payments that are subject to such an exemption or reduction to be made to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any Notes, if the
Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to such an exemption or
reduction.
(ii)    If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States federal
withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the
Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations
under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.12(e)(ii) FATCA shall include
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower
or the Borrowing Subsidiary shall not be required to pay any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section on account of any Taxes of, or imposed by, the United
States, to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) which is
not entitled on the date on which it signed this Agreement (or, in the case of
an assignee of a Lender, on the date on which the assignment to it became
effective or, in the case of any Assuming Lender, on the date it signs the
applicable Assumption Agreement), to submit Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or a
certification that it is a corporation or other entity organized in or under the
laws of the United States or a state thereof,

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27

so as to establish a complete exemption from such Taxes with respect to all
payments hereunder and under any Notes. For any period with respect to which a
Lender has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the
appropriate form or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12(f) (unless such failure
is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date
on which such form or certificate originally was required to be provided), or
with respect to which any representation or certification on any such form or
certificate is, or proves to be, materially incorrect, false or misleading when
so made, such Lender shall not be entitled to receive additional amounts or
indemnification under this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the
United States and such Lender shall indemnify and reimburse the Borrower for any
Taxes or Other Taxes which were required to be withheld but which were not
withheld as a result of such Lender’s failure to provide the appropriate form or
certificate of such Lender’s materially incorrect, false or misleading
representations or certifications and for which the Borrower or such Borrowing
Subsidiary subsequently is required to account, and does account, to the United
States tax authorities; provided that if a Lender which is otherwise exempt from
or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall
take such steps (at such Lender’s cost and expense) as such Lender shall
reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g)    At the request of Borrower or a Borrowing Subsidiary, any Lender claiming
any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the
making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any
such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary shall reimburse such Lender for the
Borrower’s or such Borrowing Subsidiary’s equitable share of such Lender’s
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such change or in considering
such a change.
(h)    In the event that the Borrower makes an additional payment under Section
2.12(a) or 2.12(c) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole
good faith opinion, determines that is has finally and irrevocably received a
refund of any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with
reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional
payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so
without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, pay to the
Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole good faith opinion, have
determined is attributable to such deduction of withholding and will leave such
Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had the
Borrower not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing
contained herein shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its
tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or (ii) oblige any Lender to claim
any refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any
computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain
from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any
other refund to which it may be entitled.
(i)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower
and its Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the
Borrower and its Borrowing Subsidiaries contained in this Section 2.12 shall
survive the payment in full of

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

28

principal and interest hereunder and under any Notes, provided, however, that
the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary has received timely notice of the
assertion of any Taxes or Other Taxes in order for it to contest such Taxes or
Other Taxes to the extent permitted by law.
SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off,
or otherwise) on account of the Advances (whether for principal, interest, fees
or otherwise) made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10 or 2.12) in
excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by
all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders
such participations in the Advances made by them as shall be necessary to cause
such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them,
provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender
shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the
Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary, as
the case may be, in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.14. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.
(a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than twice in any
calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Administrative
Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by an
amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof
(each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 45
days prior to the scheduled Termination Date (without giving effect to the
proviso contained in the definition thereof) then in effect (the “Increase
Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided,
however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at
any time exceed $2,500,000,000 and (ii) the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.02 shall have been satisfied as of the date of such request
and as of the applicable Increase Date.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, if any,
identified by the Borrower of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment
Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested
Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which
Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an
increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”).
Each Lender so identified by the Borrower that is willing to participate in such
requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written
notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the
amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If such Lenders notify
the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their
respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

29

exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested
Commitment Increase shall be allocated among such Lenders willing to participate
therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.
(c)    If the Borrower shall have requested any of the Lenders to participate in
any Commitment Increase, promptly following each Commitment Date, the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by
which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment
Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to
participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is
less than the requested Commitment Increase, or if the Borrower shall elect not
to request that any of the Lenders participate in such Commitment Increase, then
the Borrower may extend offers to one or more financial institutions reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent to participate in such Commitment
Increase or any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been
committed to by the Lenders, if any, so invited to increase Commitments pursuant
to Section 2.14(b) as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that
the Commitment of each such institution shall be in an amount of not less than
$10,000,000.
(d)    On each Increase Date, each institution that accepts an offer to
participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section
2.14(c) (each such institution and each Person that agrees to an extension of
the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.15(c), an “Assuming Lender”)
shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the
Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase
shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.14(b)) as of such Increase Date;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or
before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i)    (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Borrower or the Finance Committee of such Board approving the Commitment
Increase and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house
counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent;
(ii)    an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, substantially in the
form of Exhibit E hereto (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such
Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and
(iii)    confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount
of its Commitment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.14(d), the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender)
and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by facsimile, of
the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date
and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each
Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender
and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
Increase Date, purchase

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30

at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such
other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause
the Advances to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, the Borrower may
at any time prior to November 15, 2011 increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitments by accepting the Commitment of any one or more financial
institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, subject only to
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to a Commitment Increase set forth
in Section 3.02.
SECTION 2.15. Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 60 days but not more
than 90 days prior to the next Anniversary Date, the Borrower, by written notice
to the Administrative Agent, may request an extension of the Termination Date in
effect at such time by one calendar year from its then scheduled expiration. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each
Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not earlier than 45 days nor later
than 30 days prior to such Anniversary Date, notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such
extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the
Termination Date prior to 30 days prior to such Anniversary Date, such Lender
shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than 30 days prior to
such next Anniversary Date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the
Borrower’s request for an extension of the Termination Date.
(b)    If all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Termination Date in
effect at such time shall, effective as at such next Anniversary Date (the
“Extension Date”), be extended for one calendar year; provided that on each
Extension Date, the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02
shall have been satisfied. If Lenders holding more than 50% of the Commitments,
but less than all of the Lenders, consent in writing to any such request in
accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Termination Date in
effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date, be
extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but
shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”).
To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the Commitment of such Lender is not assumed
in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.15 on or prior to the
applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender shall
automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any
further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person;
provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and
8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date
for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and
agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any
request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Termination
Date.
(c)    If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Borrower may arrange for one or more
Consenting Lenders or other Persons as Assuming Lenders (x) to assume, effective
as of the Extension Date

or such other date as may be agreed among the Borrower, the Non-Consenting
Lender, such Consenting Lenders or Persons and the Administrative Agent, any
Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such
Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse
to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender and (y) to accept,
effective as of the Extension Date or such later date as any Assuming Lender
executes and delivers an Assumption Agreement, the Termination Date applicable
to Consenting Lenders; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of
any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be
less than $10,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting
Lender is less than $10,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume
all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:
(i)    any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such
Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest
accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding
Advances, if any, owing to such Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but
unpaid commitment fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective
date of such assignment;
(ii)    all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and
indemnities payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and
unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the
effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Non-Consenting
Lender; and
(iii)    with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and
recordation fee required under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have
been paid;
provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10,
2.12 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such
substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least
three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender,
if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an
Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting
Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (B) any such Consenting
Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) as to the increase in the
amount of its Commitment and (C) each Non-Consenting Lender being replaced
pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent
any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the payment or
prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender,
as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender
under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement,
without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and
the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the
provisions hereof, be released and discharged.
(d)    If Lenders holding more than 50% of the Commitments (before giving effect
to any assignments pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15) consent in a
writing delivered to the Administrative Agent to a requested extension (whether
by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than
one Business Day prior to such Extension

32

Date, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, so long as the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall have been
satisfied as of such Extension Date, or shall occur as a consequence thereof,
the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional
one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, and all
references in this Agreement, and in any Notes to the “Termination Date” shall,
with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such
Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following
each Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders
(including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the
scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall
thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each
such Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.
SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of
the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender
from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and
paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The
Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of
such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that an Note is required
or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of
pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such
Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender an Note
payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment
of such Lender.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
8.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each
Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and
amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such
Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the
terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered
to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder
and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the
Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of
principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such
account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender
to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or
such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.17.    Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to such effect upon obtaining
knowledge of such event to the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

33

Borrower and such Defaulting Lender, and the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(i)    Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03;
(ii)    the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in
determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be,
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any
amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01); provided that such Defaulting
Lender shall continue to have voting rights with respect to (x) any amendment,
waiver or consent that would increase or extend such Defaulting Lender’s
commitment or postpone any scheduled date of payment of or reduce the principal
of, or interest on any Advances or fees owing to such Defaulting Lender (except
as set forth in clause (i) above), (y) any amendment, waiver or consent
modifying the terms of this proviso, or (z) any amendment, waiver or consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender
differently than any other Lender or any other affected Lender, as the case may
be; and
(iii)    any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that
would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13)
shall be deemed to have satisfied such payment obligation owing to such
Defaulting Lender but, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender,
subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied (i) first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which
such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by
this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent and (iii) third, to
such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(b)    If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a
Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
be a Defaulting Lender or upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower of the confirmation referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of
“Defaulting Lender”, as applicable, then on such date such Lender shall purchase
at par such portion of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Administrative
Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such
Advances ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment and such Lender
shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender..
SECTION 2.18. Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.10, (b) any Lender delivers a notice from a Lender as described
in Section 2.02(b)(i), (c) the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any governmental authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Lender
has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance
with Section 3(a), (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (e) any Lender does
not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of
all

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

34

affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01 and (y) has been
approved by the Required Lenders (a “Non-Approving Lender”), then the Borrower
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 8.07 (other than any requirement that such Lender
being replaced consent or otherwise approve such assignment)), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee (if any) specified in Section 8.07;
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees
and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under
Section 8.04(c) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
SECTION 2.19. License Agreement and CDS Data. (a) The Administrative Agent
hereby notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that it has entered into a
licensing agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”) with Markit, pursuant to which
Markit will provide to the Administrative Agent for each Business Day a
composite end of day applicable credit default swap spread of the Borrower (the
“CDS Data”) that the Administrative Agent will use to determine the Credit
Default Swap Spread. The Administrative Agent hereby further notifies the
Borrower and the Lenders that, pursuant to the Licensing Agreement, (i) the CDS
Data will be provided by Markit on an “as is” basis, without express or implied
warranty as to accuracy, completeness, title, merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose, (ii) Markit has no liability to the Administrative Agent for
any inaccuracies, errors or omissions in the CDS Data, except in the event of
its gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, (iii) the CDS Data, as
provided by Markit, constitutes confidential information (and each Lender agrees
to treat such information in confidence to the same extent and in the same
manner as such Bank is required to hold Confidential Information pursuant to
Section 8.13 hereof), (iv) the CDS Data, as provided by

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

35

Markit, may be used by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders
solely for the purposes of this Agreement and (v) Markit and the Administrative
Agent, except in each case in the event of its gross negligence, fraud or
willful misconduct, shall have no liability whatsoever to either the Borrower or
any Lender or any client of a Lender, whether in contract, in tort, under a
warranty, under statute or otherwise, in respect of any loss or damage suffered
by the Borrower, such Lender or client as a result of or in connection with any
opinions, recommendations, forecasts, judgments or any other conclusions, or any
course of action determined, by such Lender or any client of such Lender based
on the CDS Data. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders (other than Citibank,
N.A., in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, which is a party thereto)
agrees that it shall not be a third party beneficiary of the Licensing Agreement
and shall have no rights or obligations thereunder.
(b)    The CDS Data shall be made available to the Borrower pursuant to
procedures agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The
Borrower agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (e.g., procedures
substantially comparable to those applied by the Borrower in respect of
non-public information as to the business of the Borrower) to keep confidential
the CDS Data and the related materials provided by Markit pursuant to the
Licensing Agreement to the extent that the same is not and does not become
publicly available.
(c)    It is understood and agreed that in the event of a breach of
confidentiality, damages may not be an adequate remedy and that the Licensing
Agreement provides that Markit shall be entitled to injunctive relief to
restrain any such breach, threatened or actual.
(d)    The Borrower acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders from time to time may conduct business with and may be a shareholder of
Markit and that each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have from
time to time the right to appoint one or more directors to the board of
directors of Markit.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby represents
and warrants to the Borrower that the Administrative Agent has the express
authority under the Licensing Agreement to provide the CDS Data and the related
materials provided from time to time by Markit to the Borrower.

income, cash flow and retained earnings of the Borrower and its Consolidated

the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period ended on such
date, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied (except for mandated changes in accounting disclosed in

disclosed in the SEC Reports or on Schedule 4.01(f) (the “Disclosed
Litigation”), and there has been no change in the status, or financial effect on
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, of the Disclosed Litigation from that

business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin

manner as to cause any Lender to be in violation of such Regulation U.
(h)    The Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance in all material
respects with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders of any governmental authority, non-compliance with which would have a
Material Adverse Effect.

(which reviews are in varying stages of implementation) of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower

change in such funding status which is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

reasonably expected to incur, any Withdrawal Liability to any Multiemployer Plan
which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m)    Neither the Borrower nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has been notified by
the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is in
reorganization, insolvent or has been terminated, within the meaning of Title IV
of ERISA, or has been determined to be in “endangered” or “critical” status
within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA, which in
any case would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no
such Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

39

to be in reorganization or to be terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of
ERISA, or to be in endangered or critical status, which in any case would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n)    Except as set forth in the financial statements described in
Section 4.01(e) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(e), the Borrower and its

applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, their respective directors, officers and employees,
are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws, except to the extent the failure to
do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and applicable Sanctions in all
material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or to the knowledge
of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers
or employees or any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any
capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established
hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing is intended to be used for the
purpose of violating any Anti-Corruption Law or in violation of applicable
Sanctions.
ARTICLE V
COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER
SECTION 5.01. Affirmative Covenants. So long as any Advance shall remain unpaid
or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the Borrower will, unless the
Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing:
(a)    Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Preserve and maintain, and
cause each Significant Subsidiary to preserve and maintain, its corporate
existence except as permitted under Section 5.02(b); provided, however, that the
Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary shall not be required to preserve the
corporate existence of any Significant Subsidiary if the Board of Directors of
the Borrower shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower or such Significant
Subsidiary, as the case may be, and that the liquidation thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Lenders.

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

40

(b)    Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to
comply, in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and orders, where any failure to comply would have a Material Adverse Effect,
such compliance to include, without limitation, paying before the same become
delinquent all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon
it or upon its property except to the extent contested in good faith; and
maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure
compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors,
officers and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.
(c)    Maintenance of Properties, Etc. Maintain and preserve, and cause each
Significant Subsidiary to maintain and preserve, all of its properties which are
used or useful in the conduct of its business in good working order and
condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, except where the failure to do so
would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)    Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain, and cause each Significant Subsidiary
to maintain, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or
associations (including affiliated companies) for such amounts, covering such
risks and with such deductibles as is usually carried by companies of comparable

general areas in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary operates, or maintain a
sound self-insurance program for such risks as may be prudently self-insured.
(e)    Reporting Requirements. Furnish to the Administrative Agent (and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly furnish copies thereof to the Lenders via
IntraLinks or other similar password-protected restricted internet site):
(i)    as soon as available and in any event within 60 days after the end of

Lender and the Administrative Agent have access and the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent may rely on such documents to the same extent as if such
documents had been delivered to each of them directly;

each fiscal year of the Borrower, a copy of the annual report for such year for
the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, containing consolidated

In the event the Borrower assigns to one or more Subsidiaries the right to
borrow under this Agreement (as provided in Section 8.06), each reference in
this Article VI to the Borrower shall be a reference to each such Subsidiary as
well as to the Borrower.
ARTICLE VII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except to the extent expressly set
forth in Section 7.07, the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party
beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use
of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the
Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied
(or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.
Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties.
SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its
duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as
directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for
the avoidance

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

48

of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any
debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination
of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and

(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity.

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until
notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing
by the Borrower or a Lender.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such
condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of
such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 7.05.    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably
according to the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

49

respective principal amounts of the Advances then owed to each of such Lenders
(or if no Advances are at the time outstanding or if any Notes are held by
Persons that are not Lenders, ratably according to the respective amounts of
their Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative
Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses
(including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by the Borrower.
SECTION 7.06. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any
one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent. The
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction
determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent
acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such
sub‑agents.
SECTION 7.07. Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent
may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have
the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
subject to the consent of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an
office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in
the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such
earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation
Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has
been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to
the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and
such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of the
Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

50

withheld or delayed, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office
in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier
day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”),
then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders with, if applicable, the consent of
the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from
all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to
a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its
sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.08. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder.

SECTION 7.09. No Other Duties, etc.. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, syndication agents or
documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
ARTICLE VIII

Agreement or the Notes, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom,
shall in

condition or conditions are waived would result in an increase in the aggregate
amount of Advances over the aggregate amount of Advances outstanding immediately
prior to such Borrowing), (b) increase the Commitment of such Lender or subject
such Lender to any additional obligations, (c) reduce the principal of, or rate
of interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to
such Lender, (d) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or
interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to such
Lender; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be
necessary to amend the provisos set forth in each of Section 2.06(a) and (b) or
to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay any increased interest pursuant
to the provisos set forth in Section 2.06(a) or (b), (e) change the percentage
of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances,
or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them
to take any action hereunder, (f) release the Borrower from its Guaranty or (g)
amend Section 8.06(b)(ii) or this Section 8.01; provided further that no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such
action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any Note.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

53

Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent any Lender by means of
electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the
Platform.
SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04. Costs, Expenses, Etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents
to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of not more than one counsel for the Administrative
Agent, with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative
Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrower
further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel
fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and
the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of
rights under this Section 8.04(a).
(b)    The Borrower undertakes and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Arranger”), each
Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees and
agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any and all claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to fees and disbursements of
counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party,
except where the direct result of such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence
or willful misconduct, in connection with or arising out of any investigation,
litigation, or proceeding (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party
thereto) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any actual
or proposed use of proceeds of Advances hereunder, including but not limited to
any acquisition or proposed acquisition by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of all
or any portion of the stock or substantially all of the assets of any Person. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of
liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result
of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, any
Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(c)    If any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 or acceleration of the maturity of the
Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall
upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

54

amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or
expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including,
without limitation, any loss (excluding in any event loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such
Advance. For purposes of this clause (c), the assignment by a Lender of any
Eurodollar Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 shall
be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower of the principal of such Eurodollar
Advance.
(d)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement or obligation of
the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained
in Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.
SECTION 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the
granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the
Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and
any Note held by such Lender, whether or not (in the case of obligations other
than principal and interest) such Lender shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or such Note and although such obligations (other than principal) may
be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such
set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including,
without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect; Assignment by Borrower. (a) This Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
by each Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and (subject to Section 8.07) their respective successors and assigns,
except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.
(b)    Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall have the right
to assign its rights to borrow hereunder (in whole or in part) to any Subsidiary
(a “Borrowing Subsidiary”), provided that (i) such Subsidiary assumes the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder relating to the rights so assigned by
executing and delivering an assignment and assumption agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, covering
notices, places of payment and other mechanical details, (ii) the Borrower
guarantees such Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder and under any Notes issued
in connection with such assignment and assumption by executing and delivering a
Guaranty substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Guaranty”), (iii) the
Borrower and such Subsidiary furnish (x) the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

55

Administrative Agent with such other documents and legal opinions as the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request relating to
the existence of such Subsidiary, its power and authority to request Advances
hereunder, and the authority of the Borrower to execute and deliver such
Guaranty and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such
assignment, assumption and Guaranty and (y) at least five Business Days in
advance of such assignment, each Lender such documentation and other information
required by governmental authorities under applicable “know your customer” and
anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including as required under the
Patriot Act. in order and (iv) any such assignment to Borrowing Subsidiary
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of
America shall be made only upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative
Agent. No such assignment and assumption shall substitute Borrowing Subsidiary
for the Borrower or relieve the Borrower named herein (i.e., Colgate-Palmolive
Company) of its obligations with respect to the covenants, representations,
warranties, Events of Default and other terms and conditions of this Agreement,
all of which shall continue to apply to such Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
If the Borrower shall designate as a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder any
Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State
thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act
as the Lender in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary.
Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby agrees that service of process in any action or
proceeding brought in any New York State court or in federal court may be made
upon the Borrower at its offices specified in Section 10.1, and such Borrowing
Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower to give any notice of any
such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Borrower to give any
notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such
service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.
SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Successors and Assigns
Generally. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way
of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of
paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by
any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants
to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing
to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following
conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

56

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at the time owing to it or
contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the
amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in
the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of
the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000
in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment
assigned.
(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any
such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within fifteen Business Days after having received notice
thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assignee
Lender or assignor Lender, as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee
in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A)
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

57

Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in
this clause (B).
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural Person.
(vii)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto
set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional
payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon
distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by
the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other
Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as
appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its
proportionate share of the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with
the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be
deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such
compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04, and continue to have obligations
under Section 7.05, in each case with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except
to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment
by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this
Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States
a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts of the Advances

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

58

owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, and the Administrative Agent
shall make available a copy of the Register to the Borrower from time to time
upon reasonable request of the Borrower.
(d) No assignee of a Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10
and 2.12 in relation to circumstances applicable to such assignee immediately
following the assignment to it which at such time (if a payment were then due to
the assignee on its behalf from the Borrower) would give rise to any greater
financial burden on the Borrower under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 than those which
it would have been under in the absence of such assignment.
(e)    Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i)
such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under
Section 7.05 (d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its
Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of
Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees
to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.09 as if it were an assignee under
paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a
Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as
though it were a Lender.
(f)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the Borrower is
notified of the participation sold

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

59

to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 2.12(f) as though it were a Lender.
(g)    Participation Register. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register
for the recordation of the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in its
rights and other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participation
Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participation Register to any Person (including the identity
of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in
any commitments, loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103(e) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(h)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 8.08. Change of Control. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
agreement, the Required Lenders may, upon and after the occurrence of a Change
of Control, by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)
(i) immediately suspend or terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make
Advances hereunder and/or (ii) require the Borrower to repay all or any portion
of the Advances on the date or dates specified in the notice which shall not be
less than 30 days after the giving of the notice.
(b)    For purposes of this Section “Change of Control” shall mean the happening
of any of the following events:
(i)    An acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any individual, entity or
group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or
more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower
or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
the Borrower entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; excluding,
however (1) any acquisition by the Borrower, or (2) any acquisition by any
employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Borrower
or any corporation controlled by the Borrower; or
(ii)    A change in composition of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (the
“Board”) such that the individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the
Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Incumbent Board”)
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
however, for purposes of this Section 8.08, that any individual who becomes a
member of the Board subsequent to the date hereof, whose election, or nomination
for election by the Borrower’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least
a majority of those individuals who are members of the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

60

Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such
pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a
member of the Incumbent Board.
SECTION 8.09. Mitigation of Adverse Circumstances. (a) If circumstances arise
which would or would upon the giving of notice result in a payment or an
increase in the amount of any payment to be made to a Lender by reason of
Section 2.02(c), 2.10 or 2.12, or which would result in a Lender being unable to
make Eurodollar Rate Advances by reason of Section 2.02(b), then, without in any
way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the obligations of the Borrower
under any of the such Sections, such Lender shall promptly, upon becoming aware
of the same, notify the Borrower thereof and, in consultation with the Borrower,
take such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effects of such
circumstances, including the transfer of its Applicable Lending Office to
another jurisdiction; provided that such Lender shall be under no obligation to
make any such transfer if in the bona fide opinion of such Lender, such transfer
would or would likely have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or
financial condition.
(b)    As soon as practicable and in any event within 10 Business Days after
notice of the designation under Section 8.06(b) of a Borrowing Subsidiary that
is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of
America, any Lender that may not legally lend to such Borrowing Subsidiary (a
“Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Borrower shall,
effective on or before the date that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have the
right to borrow hereunder, either (i) arrange for one or more banks or other
entities to take an assignment of all of such Protesting Lender’s interests
rights and obligations (including such Protesting Lender’s Commitment, the
Advances owing to it and any Notes held by it) pursuant to and in compliance
with Section 8.07 or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting
Lender that the Commitment of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated,
provided, however, that in each case such Protesting Lender shall have received
one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees in an

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, (i) such information
shall be deemed Information to the extent such information includes any
forward-looking information or projections or company-specific business or
financing strategies and (ii) with respect to any other information, such other

Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in

confidential information.
SECTION 8.14. Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent
(for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of
Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and the promulgated
regulations thereto (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and
record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the
name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in
accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the extent
commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to
assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with
the Patriot Act.
SECTION 8.15. No Fiduciary Duties. The Borrower agrees that in connection with
all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in
connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other
hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or
otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Banks, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will
be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or
communications.
SECTION 8.16. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in U.S. dollars into
another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may
effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in
London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which
final judgment is given.
(b)    The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any
currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to
be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

63

applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the
applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable
Primary Currency, the Borrower and each Borrowing Subsidiary agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and
if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum
due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the
applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the
case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

64

SECTION 8.17.    Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each of the Borrower, the Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any
action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or
otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any
Guaranty or the actions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the
negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first
above written.

U.S.$                                               Dated:          , 20__
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY, a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of
                       (the “Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office (as defined in the Five Year Credit Agreement referred to below) the
principal sum of U.S.$[amount of the Lender’s Commitment in figures] or, if
less, the aggregate principal amount of each Advance (as defined in the Five
Year Credit Agreement referred to below) on the Termination Date (as defined in
the Five Year Credit Agreement referred to below) owing to the Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to the Five Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 4,
2011, amended and restated as of July 27, 2015 among the Borrower, the Lender
and certain other lenders parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative
Agent for the Lender and such other lenders, (as amended or modified from time
to time, the “Five Year Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used
herein as therein defined) on the Termination Date.
The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in
full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the
Five Year Credit Agreement.
Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of
America to Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, at its offices at 1615 Brett
Road, Building 3, New Castle, Delaware 19720, in immediately available funds.
Each Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Five Year
Credit Agreement, the date on which it is due, the interest rate thereon and all
prepayments made on account of principal thereof shall be recorded by the Lender
on its books, and for each Advance outstanding at the time of any transfer
hereof, the same information shall be endorsed on the grid attached hereto which
is part of this Promissory Note.
This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the
benefits of, the Five Year Credit Agreement. The Five Year Credit Agreement,
among other things, (i) provides for the making of Advances by the Lender to the
Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the U.S. dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of
the Borrower resulting from each such Advance being evidenced by this Promissory
Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon
the happening of certain stated events.
The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind
under this Promissory Note. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising,
any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver
of such rights.

EXHIBIT D
FORM OF GUARANTY
GUARANTY, dated           , 20__, made by COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY, a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Guarantor”),
in favor of Citibank, N.A., as agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for each of
the Lenders (the “Lenders”) parties to the Five Year Credit Agreement (as
defined below).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.
(1) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantor have entered into a
Five Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 4, 2011, amended and restated as
of July 27, 2015 (said Agreement, as it may heretofore have been or hereafter be
amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Five Year Credit
Agreement”, the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being
used herein as therein defined). Pursuant to Section 8.06(b) of the Five Year
Credit Agreement and an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated           ,
20__ the Guarantor has assigned to                             , a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of                    (the “Assignee”),
certain rights under the Five Year Credit Agreement, so that the Assignee may
borrow and receive Advances under the Five Year Credit Agreement. The Assignee
is a Subsidiary of the Guarantor and engages in business transactions with the
Guarantor, and the Guarantor represents that it will derive substantial direct
and indirect benefit from all Advances to the Assignee.
(2) It is a condition precedent to the making of such assignment to the Assignee
that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the
Lenders to accept such assignment and to make Advances to the Assignee under the
Five Year Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the
punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise, of all obligations of the Assignee now or hereafter existing under
the Five Year Credit Agreement and under any Notes evidencing Advances to the
Assignee (the “Notes”), whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or
otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and
all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under this
Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s
liability shall extend to all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations
and would be owed by the Assignee to the Lenders under the Five Year Credit
Agreement and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving the Assignee.
SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Five Year Credit Agreement
and the Notes, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Lenders with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or

NYDOCS01/1619389.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2

actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this
Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Assignee or
whether the Assignee is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of
the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Five Year Credit Agreement,
the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or
any consent to departure from the Five Year Credit Agreement or the Notes,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from
the extension of additional credit to the Assignee or any of its subsidiaries or
otherwise;
(iii)    any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;
(iv)    any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or
any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any
collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Assignee
or any of its subsidiaries;
(v)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or
existence of the Assignee or any of its subsidiaries or its status as a
Subsidiary of the Guarantor; or
(vi)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, the Assignee or a guarantor.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Assignee or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 3. Waiver. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of
acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, this
Guaranty or any circumstance referred to in Section 2, and waives any
requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect
or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against the Assignee or any other person or
entity or any collateral.
SECTION 4. Subrogation. (a) The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it
may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made
hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations and all other amounts payable
under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have
expired or terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account
of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in
full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and
(y) the expiration or termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be
deemed to have been

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the
Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Five Year Credit
Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for
any Obligations thereafter existing. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to
the Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) all the
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in
full and (iii) the Commitments shall have expired or terminated, the
Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to
the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation
or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor
of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.
(b) The Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that the Assignee makes a payment
or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the Administrative
Agent or any Lender receives any proceeds of collateral, which payment or
payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be repaid to the
Assignee, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without
limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation
or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall
be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial
payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. The Guarantor shall defend and
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender from and against any claim or
loss under this Section 4(b) (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
in the defense of any such action or suit.
