the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion
thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in

Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain
accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable

expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable. 
  
 (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or
notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender,

less than the Euro Equivalent of €5,000,000 or integral multiples of €500,000 in excess thereof. Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Revolving Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on
the date specified for such prepayment and any mandatory prepayment resulting from such reduction shall have been made. 
  
 (b) The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the principal amount of any Revolving Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.6.

  
 Section 2.7 Mandatory Prepayments

  
 If at any time the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds 105% of the Commitments, the Borrower shall forthwith prepay the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. 
  
 Section 2.8 Interest 
  
 (a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case
of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, the date such Obligations are paid in full,
except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time
during such Interest Period. 
  
 (b) Interest Payments.
(i) Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than six months, on each day during
such Interest Period occurring every six months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (ii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

  
 (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of
interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and
the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time.

 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 Section 2.9 Continuation Option 
  
 (a) The Borrower may elect at the end of any applicable Interest Period to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Loans continued for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least the Euro Equivalent of €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each continuation shall be allocated
among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion. Subject to clause (b) below, each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Notice of Continuation) (a
“Notice of Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying the amount and type of Loan being continued and (B) the applicable Interest
Period. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be
permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.12 (Special Provisions Governing
Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any
Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically continued as with an interest period of one month (or if consented by all
Lenders, seven days). Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable. 
  
 Section 2.10 Fees 
  
 (a) Unused
Commitment Fee. (i) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Commitment of such Lender exceeds the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Euro Equivalent of Revolving Loans
held by it through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing
Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
  
 (b) Additional Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, and the Arrangers the administrative and other fees from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and such parties. 
  
 Section 2.11 Payments and Computations 
  
 (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(including fees and expenses) not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) on the day when due, in Dollars or Euros (depending on the denomination of the Obligation being paid), to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal,
interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) or (e) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices; provided,
however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 (Capital Adequacy), 2.14 (Taxes) or Section 2.12(c) (Increased Costs) or (d) (Illegality) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders.
Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (London time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 
  

 25 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 (b) All computations of interest and of 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 and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

  
 (c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due
on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All
repayments made of any Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay those Eurocurrency Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods. 
  
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the applicable 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 that the Borrower
shall not have 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 at the rate specified in
Section 2.8(a) 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. 
  
 (e) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions
of clause (f) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the
Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all
other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable
Portion of the Commitments; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to
their respective Ratable Portions. 
  
 (f) The Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (e)
above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall, apply all payments in respect of
any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any cash collateral account in the following order: 
  
 First, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent; 

 
 Second, to pay Obligations in respect of any
expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders; 
  

 26 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 Third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; 
  
 Fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in
respect of the Revolving Loans; 
  
 Fifth,
to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Revolving Loans ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans; and 
  
 Sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations; 
  
 provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the
Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through sixth, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such
Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that the funds allocated to the
Lenders shall be used to pay, first, interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed
by such Lender or the Borrower (unless the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Lender, prior to making such Advance, a notice of the type described in Section 2.2(d)), and this proviso and the order of priority set
forth in clauses first through second of this Section 2.11(f) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders. The order of priority set forth in
clauses first through sixth of this Section 2.11(f) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders (and the Administrative Agent, if required pursuant to the preceding sentence)
without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or any other Person. 
  
 (g) At the option of the Administrative Agent, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans may be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (Borrowing Procedures) from time to time in such Lender’s discretion, that are in the amounts of any and all interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of
the Loans, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrower agrees that all such
Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan), which conditions the Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that
all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts. 
  
 Section 2.12 Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans 
  
 (a) Determination of Interest Rate 
  
 The Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency
Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair 
  

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates
by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then 
  

 27 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans
in Dollars or Euros, as applicable, for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing and Section 2.12(f) shall apply. 
  
 (c) Increased Costs 
  
 If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change
in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate) or the compliance by such Lender
with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or
maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 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 cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Illegality 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender
determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority
shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, each Lender of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall convert such Loans into Substitute Basis Loans in accordance with the procedure outlined in Section 2.12(f) hereof. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice
under this Section 2.12(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the
Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The applicable Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored. 
  
 (e) Breakage Costs 
  
 In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.8 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing,
conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion
or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.9 (Continuation Option), or any conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan occurs on a date that is not
the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid (including, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.7 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date
that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) pursuant to any Substitution Notice delivered under Section 2.15 (Substitution of Lenders). The Lender 
  

 28 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to
such Lender, absent manifest error. 
  
 (f) Substitute
Basis 
  
 (i) During the 30 day period
following the date of any such notice given pursuant to Section 2.12 (b) or (d) in relation to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (the “Negotiation Period”), the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and the Borrower
will negotiate in good faith for the purpose of agreeing upon an alternative, mutually acceptable basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for determining the rate of interest to be applicable to such Loan, and any other amounts hereunder not
paid when due, in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate, and if at the expiry of the Negotiation Period the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Lenders) and the Borrower have agreed upon a Substitute Basis and any required approvals of any
Governmental Authority therefor have been obtained, the Substitute Basis in lieu of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall take effect from such date (including such retroactive date) as the Administrative Agent (with the
consent of the Lenders) and the Borrower may in such circumstance agree. 
  
 (ii) If, at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, a Substitute Basis shall not have been agreed upon or any required approvals of any Governmental Authority therefor shall not have been obtained, the Administrative
Agent (with the consent of the Lenders) shall notify the Borrower of the cost to the Lenders (as reasonably determined by them) of funding and maintaining the outstanding affected Loans, and any other amounts hereunder not paid when due, for the
applicable Interest Period, and the interest payable to the Lenders on Loans, and such other amounts not paid when due, to which such Interest Period applies shall be interest at a rate per annum equal to the cost of funding and maintaining such
Loans or such other amounts as so notified by the Administrative Agent plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 Loans to which the rate of interest determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.12(g) applies are referred to as
“Substitute Basis Loans” and the rate of interest so determined is referred to as the “Substitute Basis Rate.” 
  
 The procedures specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall apply to each relevant period succeeding the first such period to which they were
first applied unless and until the Administrative Agent (at the request of the affect Lender) notifies the Borrower that the condition referred to in Section 2.12(b) or (d) no longer exists, whereupon interest on Loans shall again be
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof, effective commencing on the third Business Day after the date of such notice. 
  
 With a view to returning to the normal operation of the Facility, the Administrative Agent shall, after having consulted with such Lender, examine the
situation at least weekly to determine if the circumstances described in Section 2.12(b) or (d) still prevail. 
  
 Section 2.13 Capital Adequacy 
  
 If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule,
regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on 
  

 29 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall 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 for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.14 Taxes

  
 (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding in the case of each Lender and the
Administrative Agent taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or
maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in
respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.14) 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, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make
such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
evidence of such payment. 
  
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party
agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”). 

 
 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to assist any Loan Party in obtaining any refunds from any Governmental Authority for any
Taxes or Other Taxes improperly imposed on or asserted against a Lender or the Administrative Agent for which such Loan Party has made an indemnification payment under this Section 2.14(c). Upon receipt of any such refund, such Lender or
the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay the applicable Loan Party the amount of such refund. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its
address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 
  

 30 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.14
shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 (f)
Prior to the Closing Date each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender
remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws as will permit such payments to be made without deduction or withholding
or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding for income taxes (or franchise taxes in lieu thereof). Each Lender which so delivers such documentation further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional or
successor documentation on or before the date such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation so delivered by it, as will permit such Lender to receive payments
from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document without deduction or withholding (or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding) for income taxes (or franchise taxes in lieu thereof), unless an event (including without limitation any
change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such documentation inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any
such documentation with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding for income tax (or franchise tax in lieu thereof).

  
 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a change would
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 Section 2.15 Substitution of Lenders 
  
 (a) In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section
2.12(c)(Increased Costs) or Section 2.13 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12(d)
(Illegality), (C) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.14 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a
consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to
the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause (i)(A), (B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an
“Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, if such Lender is to be a Lender, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”)
for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i)(A),
(B), (C) or (D) above by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent 
  

 31 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and
such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the
other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. 
  
 (b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.15, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the
Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than
in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims
hereunder) shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the latest of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees,
unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated to the extent so assumed; provided, however, that all
indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. 
  
 (c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the
failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or any other Loan Document, of all the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (such Obligations, the “Guarantied Obligations”), whether or not from time to time reduced or
extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether enforceable or unenforceable as against any Borrower, now or hereafter existing, or due or to

liability under this Guaranty shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered, the Guaranty shall be reinstated in full force
and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

 Section 10.4 Waivers 
  
 Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance
and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower. No Guarantor shall, until the Guarantied Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the
Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against the Borrower or set off any of its obligations to the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, each Guarantor
covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance. 
  
 Section 10.5 Reliance 
  
 Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or other
guarantors of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees
that no Guarantied Party shall have any duty to advise it of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guarantied Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to
provide any such information to each Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guarantied Party, pursuant
to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantied Party.

 Section 10.6 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights 
  
 Until the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the Guarantors shall not enforce or
otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Guarantied Parties or any part of them against the Borrower or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower by reason of this Agreement or by
any payment made by either Guarantor in respect of the Obligations. 
  
 Section 10.7 Subordination 
  
 Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default) any Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to it, whether heretofore, now or hereafter
created (the “Guaranty Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations, and that, except as expressly permitted by this agreement, the Guaranty Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the
Obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Guarantors shall accept any payment of or on account of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Guaranty Subordinated
Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Obligations as provided in clause (g) of Section 2.11 (Payments and Computations). Each payment on the Guaranty Subordinated Debt received in
violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by the applicable Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the
Guarantied Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner the Guarantors’ liability under this Article X. Each Guarantor agrees to file all claims against the Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing
of claims is required by law in respect of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of the Guarantors’ rights thereunder. If for any reason any Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten
Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such
Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in
administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each
Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than the Guarantors’ liability under
this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. 
  
 Section 10.8 Default; Remedies 
  
 The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty are independent of and separate from the Obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against the Guarantors to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the Borrower or any
other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, or joining the Borrower or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guarantied Obligations, the 
  

 56 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 Administrative Agent may (unless the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to the Guarantors, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guarantied Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become
due from any Guarantied Party to any Guarantor and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates (other than trust
accounts). 
  
 Section 10.9 Irrevocability

  
 This Guaranty shall be irrevocable as to any and all
of the Guarantied Obligations until the Commitments have been terminated and all monetary Guarantied Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash. 
  
 Section 10.10 Setoff 
  

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantied Party and each Affiliate thereof may, without notice to the
Guarantors and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations then due and payable (i) any indebtedness due or to become
due from such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof to any Guarantor, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof (other
than trust accounts). 
  
 Section 10.11 No Marshaling

  
 Each Guarantor consents and agrees that no Guarantied Party or Person
acting for or on behalf thereof shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations. 
  
 Section 10.12 Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers 
  
 No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial
exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. Failure by any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Guarantors, any other guarantor of all or any
part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents now or at any time or times hereafter executed by such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied
Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such Person at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of any Guarantied Party or its
Affiliates, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver under this
Agreement. No waiver of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any
its rights and remedies or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Article X. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by the Borrower to any Guarantied Party shall be
conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

 (a) Each Lender hereby appoints CIP as the Administrative Agent hereunder and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent

Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully
protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to
this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and its duties are entirely administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other Obligation. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under any Loan
Document by or through its agents or employees. 
  
 Section
11.2 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. 
  
 None
of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it, him, her or them under or in connection with this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, except for its, his, her or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) may treat the payee of any Note as its holder until such Note has been assigned in

 existence of any Default or Event of Default, (f) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien
created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto and (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties. 
  
 Section 11.3 Posting of Approved
Electronic Communications 
  
 (a) Each of the Lenders,
the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on
“e-Disclosure”, the Administrative Agent’s internet delivery system that is part of Fixed Income Direct, Citigroup Global Fixed Income’s primary web portal, IntraLinksTM or a successor electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its
internet delivery system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). 
  
 (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time
(including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic
Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other
risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of
the Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes, and the Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to understand and
assume, the risks of such distribution. 
  
 (c) The Approved
Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
advisors or representatives (the “Agent Affiliates”) warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or
omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory (including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects) is made by the agent affiliates in connection with the approved electronic communications or the approved electronic platform. 
  
 (d) Each of the Lenders, the Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that the
Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 Section 11.4 The Administrative Agent Individually 
  
 With respect to its Ratable Portion, CIP shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and
liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without
limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, or as one of the Requisite Lenders. CIP and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business
with, any Loan Party as if CIP were not acting as the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 11.5 Lender Credit Decision 
  
 Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the
Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 11.6 Indemnification 
  
 Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its respective
Affiliates, and its directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors while acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, 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 or such Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) 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 its rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent are not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party. 
  
 Section 11.7 Successor Administrative Agent 
  
 The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any
such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30
days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the 
  

 60 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article XI as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 11.8 Other Agent Responsibilities. 
  
 The Mandated Lead Arrangers, Bookrunners and co-agents, in such capacities,
shall have no duties or responsibilities hereunder except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 Section 12.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. 
  
 (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Requisite Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of any amendment, by the Borrower, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, in addition to the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent
with the consent thereof), do any of the following: 
  
 (i) waive any condition specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans) or 3.2(b) (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan), except with respect to a condition based upon another provision hereof, the waiver of which
requires only the concurrence of the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of the conditions specified in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans), subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 (Determinations of Initial
Borrowing Conditions); 
  
 (ii) increase the
Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligation; 
  
 (iii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan owing to such Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the
payment or reduction of principal of any such Loan (it being understood that Section 2.7 (Mandatory Prepayments) does not provide for scheduled dates fixed for payment) or for the reduction or termination of such Lender’s
Commitment;

of any Loan owing to such Lender (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof);

 (b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers
or consents on behalf of such Lender without requiring an executed counterpart from such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on
the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
  
 (c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all
affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 12.1 being referred to
as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request, an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent
shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s and consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it
shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings, and any other obligations hereunder of such
Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale and all other amounts payable hereunder; provided, however, that such
purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) if the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent

 and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees
with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an
Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register. 
  
 Section 12.2 Assignments and Participations 
  
 (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans); provided, however, that (i) for any assignment of the assigning Lender’s
Revolving Credit Outstandings and Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment
(determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof
and except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund
of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment
occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
  
 (b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s
Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of
Lenders) and Section 12.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and
Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those
surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of
each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in 
  

 63 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give

assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or
Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of
Exhibit B (Form of Note). 
  
 (e) In addition to the other
assignment rights provided in this Section 12.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise
of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however,
that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of
Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned
or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower and (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an
option pursuant to clause (i) above; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. Each
party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against,
or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations). 
  
 (f) Each Lender may
sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in
any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising
any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount,
or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation. In the event of the sale of any

  

 64 








 CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 FMC FINANCE B.V. 
  
 participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations,
(y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.14 (Taxes) and of Section 2.12(d) (Illegality) as if it
were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Sections 2.13 (Capital Adequacy), 2.14 (Taxes) or 2.12(d)
(Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such
participation not been sold. 
  
 (g) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, no Lender shall make any assignment of, or participate any interest in, any Loan or Commitment to the Borrower to any Person if such Person is not a Professional Market Party (if required by
Dutch law or Dutch regulation to be a Professional Market Party) under the Dutch Banking Act and Dutch Banking Act Exemption Regulation. 
  
 (h) Each Lender that is a party to this Agreement on the date hereof makes the following representations and warranties to the Borrower: 
  
 (i) that (x) it is a Professional Market Party and
(y) it is aware that it does not benefit from the (creditor) protection offered by the Dutch Banking Act to lenders of monies to persons or entities that are subject to the prohibition of Section 82 of the Dutch Banking Act; and

  
 (ii) it acknowledges that the Borrower has
relied upon such representation and warranty.

liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors,
security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person or whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether
based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document, any Obligation or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby

resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of the Loan Documents of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable

 judgment or order. Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury

Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any
leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with
respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent
or any Lender having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

  
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
the Arrangers and the Lenders, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the
Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action and the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrower’s choice. In the event that
such Indemnitee requests the Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice
participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s
obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except for direct damages (as
opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful breach of the Loan Documents. The Company hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such
claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a 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 or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, 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 12.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. 
  
 Section 12.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 12.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 12.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Sections 2.12 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency
Rate Loans), 2.13 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.14 (Taxes)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase
from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them. 
  
 (b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is
thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal
to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation 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. 
  
 (c) The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 12.7 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 in the amount of such participation.

 E-1 








 [ML&B Letterhead] 
  

	To:	Citibank International plc, as Administrative Agent, ABN Amro Bank N.V., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Agentaria S.A., National City Bank, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as mandated
lead arrangers, and Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Banc of America Securities LLC, as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below. 

  

	 	Re:	FMC Finance, B.V. 

  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 We have acted as counsel to FMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries FMC Finance B.V., a company organized and
existing under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Borrower”), and FMC Chemicals Netherlands B.V., a company organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands (the “European Parent”), in connection with the
preparation, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Company the European Parent,
the Lenders party thereto, Citibank International plc, as agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), ABN Amro Bank N.V., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Agentaria S.A., National City Bank and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as
mandated lead arrangers, and Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Banc of America Securities LLC, as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners. 
  
 This opinion letter is rendered to you pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii)(A) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement and
used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement. 
  
 In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the following documents: 
  
 the Credit Agreement; and 
  
 the Notes issued by the Borrower on the date hereof, if any
(the “Notes”). 
  
 We have also examined such corporate records,
documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant
and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied without independent investigation upon the representations of the Loan Parties contained in the Credit Agreement.








 Page 2 
  
 In our examination of the above-mentioned documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. 
  
 We have assumed that the Borrower and the European Parent have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Agreement and, in the case
of the Borrower, the Notes pursuant to adequate corporate power and in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands and that doing so does not violate, contravene or cause a default under the laws of The Netherlands. We have further assumed that the
Credit Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto other than the Loan Parties and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of all parties thereto other than the Loan Parties. 
  
 Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications
stated herein, we are of the opinion that: 
  
 1. The Company is
a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to transact the business in which we understand it is now
engaged. 
  
 2. The Company has all requisite corporate power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company, and the Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company. 
  
 3. The Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Loan Parties, enforceable against the Loan Parties in accordance with its terms. The Notes constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms. 
  
 4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Borrower, the Notes, will not conflict
with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any provisions of the Constituent Documents of the Company, (ii) to our knowledge any material Contractual Obligation of the Loan Parties, (iii) the General Corporation Law of Delaware
or the laws of the State of New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States which are applicable to the Loan Parties and are, in our experience, normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement, or
(iv) any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or Governmental Authority applicable to any Loan Party and of which we have knowledge. 
  
 5. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any New York, Pennsylvania or
federal Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Credit Agreement, or in the case of the Borrower, any Notes. 
  
 6. The borrowings by and other financial accommodations provided to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the
application of proceeds thereof as provided in the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 
  
 7. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

 8. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration, at law or in equity or before any Governmental
Authority, pending or overtly threatened in writing against any Loan Party with respect to the Credit Agreement or challenging any of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies thereunder, which, if adversely determined,
could materially adversely affect the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

expressly stated herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our
