COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay, to                                                                            , or registered assigns, the Principal Amount of                                                            , on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (or any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, each as defined on the reverse hereof, or any earlier date of acceleration of maturity) (each such date being hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date” with respect to the principal repayable on such date) and to pay interest thereon (and on any overdue principal, premium and/or interest to the extent legally enforceable) at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above until the Initial Interest Reset Date specified above and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions specified above and on the reverse hereof or in an Addendum hereto with respect to one or more Interest Rate Bases specified above until the principal hereof is paid or duly made available for payment.

The Company will pay interest in arrears on each Interest Payment Date specified above (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing with the first Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date specified above, and on the Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Original Issue Date occurs between a Record Date (as defined below) and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payments will commence on the second Interest Payment Date next succeeding the Original Issue Date to the registered holder of this Note  (the “Holder”) on the Record Date with respect to such second Interest Payment Date.

Interest on this Note will accrue from, and including, the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or from, and including, the Original Issue Date if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”).  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day, as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Record Date”); provided, however, that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be payable.  Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder at the close of business on any Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note by the Trustee not less than 10 calendar days prior to such Special Record Date or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, all as more fully provided for in the Indenture.

Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of this Note due on the Maturity Date will be made in immediately available funds upon presentation and surrender of this Note (and, with respect to any applicable repayment of this Note, upon delivery of a duly completed election form as contemplated on the reverse hereof) at the office of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.  Payment of interest due on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date will be made at the aforementioned office of the Trustee or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register maintained by the Trustee; provided, however, that a Holder of U.S.$10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Notes (whether having identical or different terms and provisions) shall, at the option of the Company, be entitled to receive interest payments on such Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not less than 15 calendar days prior to such Interest Payment Date.  Any such wire transfer instructions received by the Trustee shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder.

If any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if EURIBOR or LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.  If the Maturity Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Maturity Date, and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after the  Maturity Date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

As used herein, “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided, however, that with respect to non-United States dollar-denominated notes, the day is also not a day on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of the country issuing the specified currency or, if the specified currency is euro, the day is also a Target Settlement Day (as defined below); provided, further, that, with respect to floating rate notes as to which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a London Banking Day (as defined below) and that, with respect to floating rate notes as to which EURIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, the day is also a Target Settlement Day.

“London Banking Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business, including dealings in the Designated LIBOR Currency, in London.

“Principal Financial Center” means (1) the capital city of the country issuing the specified currency, or (2) the capital city of the country to which the Designated LIBOR Currency relates, except, in each case, that with respect to United States dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, New Zealand dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the “Principal Financial Center” will be The City of New York, Sydney, Toronto, London (solely in the case of the Designated LIBOR Currency), Wellington, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

 Unless otherwise set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, “U.S. Government Securities Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in U.S. government securities.

“Target Settlement Day” means a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System, or any successor, is open.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY

MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES G

(Floating Rate)

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of debt securities (the “Debt Securities”) of the Company issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of November 15, 1992, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Debt Securities, and of the terms upon which the Debt Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Note is one of the Debt Securities of the series designated as “Medium-Term Notes, Series G, Due One Year or More From Date of Issue” (the “Notes”).  All terms used but not defined in this Note or in an Addendum hereto shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture or on the face hereof, as the case may be.

This Note is issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples thereof or other Authorized Denomination specified on the face hereof.

Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture and as set forth below, the Notes will be issued in global form only, registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and ownership of the Notes shall be maintained in book-entry form by the Depositary for the accounts of participating organizations of the Depositary.  If this Note is a global note, this Note is exchangeable for certificated Notes only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for this global Note and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 60 days after the Depositary notifies the Company, (ii) the Company in its sole discretion determines that this global Note shall be exchangeable for certificated Notes of this series in registered form or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes represented hereby has occurred and is continuing.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof in accordance with the provisions of the following two paragraphs, this Note will not be subject to any sinking fund and will not be redeemable or repayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

This Note will be subject to redemption at the option of the Company on any date on or after the Initial Redemption Date, if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or from time to time in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 unless otherwise specified above (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000 unless otherwise specified above), at the Redemption Price (as defined below), together with unpaid interest accrued hereon to the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on written notice given to the Holder hereof (in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

Unless otherwise specified above, the “Redemption Price” shall be the Initial Redemption Percentage specified on the face hereof (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, specified on the face hereof) multiplied by the principal amount of this Note to be redeemed.

This Note may be subject to repayment by the Company at the option of the Holder hereof on the Optional Repayment Date(s), if any, specified on the face hereof, in whole or in part in increments of U.S.$1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be at least U.S.$1,000), at a repayment price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repaid, together with unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for repayment (the “Repayment Date”).  For this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, the Trustee must receive at its corporate trust office not more than 60 nor less than 30 calendar days prior to the Repayment Date, this Note with the form thereon entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed.  Exercise of such repayment option by the Holder hereof shall be irrevocable.  In the event of repayment of this Note in part only, a new Note of like tenor for the unrepaid portion hereof and otherwise having the same terms and provisions as this Note shall be issued by the Company in the name of the Holder hereof upon the presentation and surrender hereof.

  

7

  

If the Discount Note box is checked above, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note in the event of redemption, repayment or acceleration of maturity of this Note will be equal to the sum of (i) the Issue Price specified on the face hereof (increased by any accruals of the Discount, as defined below, and reduced by any amounts of principal previously paid) and, in the event of any redemption of this Note (if applicable), multiplied by the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable) and (ii) any unpaid interest accrued hereon to the Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity, as the case may be.  The difference between the Issue Price specified above and 100% of the principal amount of this Note is referred to herein as the “Discount.”

For purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has accrued as of any Redemption Date, Repayment Date or date of acceleration of maturity of this Note, such Discount will be accrued so as to cause an assumed yield on the Note to be constant.  The assumed constant yield will be calculated using a 30-day month, 360-day year convention, a compounding period that, except for the Initial Period (as defined below), corresponds to the shortest period between Interest Payment Dates (with ratable accruals within a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial interest rate applicable to this Note and an assumption that the maturity of this Note will not be accelerated.  If the period from the Original Issue Date to the initial Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Period”) is shorter than the compounding period for this Note, a proportionate amount of the yield for an entire compounding period will be accrued.  If the Initial Period is longer than the compounding period, then such period will be divided into a regular compounding period and a short period, with the short period being treated as provided in the preceding sentence.

The interest rate borne by this Note will be determined as follows:

(i)           Unless the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note” or an “Inverse Floating Rate Note” or the face hereof specifies that either “Other/Additional Provisions” or an Addendum hereto applies, in each case, relating to a different interest rate formula, this Note shall be designated as a “Regular Floating Rate Note” and, except as set forth below or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

  

8

  

(ii)           If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as a “Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note”, then, except as set forth below or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that (y) the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate and (z) the interest rate in effect for the period commencing on, and including, the Fixed Rate Commencement Date specified on the face hereof to the Maturity Date shall be the Fixed Interest Rate specified on the face hereof or, if no such Fixed Interest Rate is specified, the interest rate in effect hereon on the day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.

(iii)           If the Interest Category of this Note is specified on the face hereof as an “Inverse Floating Rate Note”, then, except as set forth below or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, this Note shall bear interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Bases (a) plus or minus the Spread, if any, and/or (b) multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any, in each case as specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that the interest rate hereon shall not be less than zero percent.  Commencing on the Initial Interest Reset Date, the rate at which interest on this Note shall be payable shall be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period from the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.

Except as set forth above or specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the interest rate in effect on each day shall be (i) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date (as defined below) immediately preceding such Interest Reset Date or (ii) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Initial Interest Reset Date shall be the Initial Interest Rate.  If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if EURIBOR or LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.  In addition, if the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.

  

9

  

The interest rate applicable to each Interest Reset Period commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the applicable Interest Determination Date and will be calculated by the Calculation Agent on or prior to the Calculation Date (as defined below). The determination of any interest rate by the Calculation Agent will be final and binding absent manifest error. The “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the CD Rate and the Commercial Paper Rate shall be the second Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the CMT Rate shall be the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Prime Rate shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date; the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Eleventh District Cost of Funds Rate shall be the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date on which the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (the “FHLB of San Francisco”) publishes the Index (as defined below); the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Federal Funds Rate shall be the applicable Interest Reset Date;  the “Interest Determination Date” with respect to LIBOR shall be the second London Banking Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, unless the Designated LIBOR Currency is the British pounds sterling, in which case the Interest Determination Date will be the applicable Interest Reset Date; and the Interest Determination Date with respect to EURIBOR shall be the second Target Settlement Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date.  The “Interest Determination Date” with respect to the Treasury Rate shall be the day in the week in which the applicable Interest Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below) are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally sold at an auction held on Monday of each week, unless such Monday is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the immediately succeeding Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday) or, if no auction is held for a particular week, the first Business Day of that week; provided, however, that if an auction is held on the Friday of the week preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date, the “Interest Determination Date” shall be such preceding Friday; provided, further that if the Interest Determination Date would otherwise fall on an Interest Reset Date, then such Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day.  If the interest rate of this Note is determined with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases specified on the face hereof, the “Interest Determination Date” pertaining to this Note shall be the most recent Business Day which is at least two Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Reset Date on which each Interest Rate Basis is determinable. Each Interest Rate Basis shall be determined as of such date, and the applicable interest rate shall take effect on the related Interest Reset Date.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof or in an Addendum hereto, the rate with respect to each Interest Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions below.

CD Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the CD Rate, the CD Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CD Rate Interest Determination Date”) as the rate on such date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519) (as defined below) under the caption “CDs (secondary market)”, or, if not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, the rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15 Daily Update (as defined below), or such other recognized electronic source used for the purpose of displaying such rate, under the caption “CDs (secondary market).”  If such rate is not yet published in H.15(519), H.15 Daily Update or another recognized electronic source by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the related Calculation Date, then the CD Rate on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent specified on the face hereof and will be the arithmetic mean of the secondary market offered rates as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading non-bank dealers in negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit in The City of New York selected by the Calculation Agent for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit of major United States money market banks for negotiable United States dollar certificates of deposit with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time; provided, however, that if the dealers so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, the CD Rate determined as of such CD Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CD Rate in effect on such CD Rate Interest Determination Date.

“H.15(519)” means the weekly statistical release designated as H.15(519), or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and available on their website via http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/ or any successor site or publication.

“H.15 Daily Update” means the daily update of H.15(519), published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and available on their website at http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/h15upd.htm or any successor site or publication.

CMT Rate.  If an Interest Rate Basis for this Note is specified on the face hereof as the CMT Rate, the CMT Rate shall be determined as of the applicable Interest Determination Date (a “CMT Rate Interest Determination Date”) in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) if Reuters Page FRBCMT (as defined below) is specified above, the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”, as the yield is displayed on Reuters, (“Reuters”) (or any successor service) on page FRBCMT, or any other page as may that specified page on that service (“Reuters Page FRBCMT”) or, if not displayed on Reuters, as displayed on the Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) service (or any successor service) on page NDX 7 (or any other page as may replace the specified page on that service) (“Bloomberg Page NDX 7”), for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date.  If such rate does not appear on Reuters Page FRBCMT or Bloomberg Page NDX 7, as the case may be, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the percentage equal to the yield for United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date published in H.15(519) under the caption “Treasury constant maturities”.  If such rate does not appear in H.15(519), the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date for the period of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof as may then be published by either the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the rate which would otherwise have been published in H.15(519).  If the Federal Reverse System Board of Governors or the United States Department of the Treasury does not publish a yield on United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof for such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three leading primary United States government securities dealers in The City of New York (each, a “Reference Dealer”) selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to maturity no more than one year shorter than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be  based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of the quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, the quotes for the Treasury security with the shorter original term to maturity will be used.

If the one-week or one-month, as specified above, average yield on United States Treasury securities at “constant maturity” having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof for the applicable week or month is not published, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices at approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five such Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity equal to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to maturity of no more than 1 year shorter than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest nor the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated.  If fewer than three prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be a yield to maturity based on the arithmetic mean of the secondary market bid prices as of approximately 3:30 P.M., New York City time, on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date of three Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent from five Reference Dealers selected by the Calculation Agent and eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest) for United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, a remaining term to maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such securities in such market at such time.  If fewer than five but more than two such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be based on the arithmetic mean of the bid prices obtained and neither the highest or the lowest of such quotations will be eliminated; provided, however, that if fewer than three such prices are provided as requested, the CMT Rate determined as of such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date will be the CMT Rate in effect on such CMT Rate Interest Determination Date. If two such United States Treasury securities with an original maturity longer than the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof have remaining terms to maturity equally close to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, the quotes for the United States Treasury security with the shorter original remaining term to maturity will be used.

COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY

SUPPLEMENTAL SALARIED EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN

Colgate-Palmolive Company (the “Company”) hereby continues the Supplemental Salaried Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), a non-qualified, unfunded plan which it maintains to provide Eligible Employees with benefits which, in the absence of certain limitations imposed by the Code, would have been provided under the Colgate-Palmolive Company Employees’ Retirement Income Plan (the “Base Plan”), as well as additional benefits to surviving spouses in the event of the death of certain married Members.

ARTICLE I

INTRODUCTION

	
Section 1.1

	
Name of Plan.  The name of this Plan is the “Supplemental Salaried Employees’ Retirement Plan”.

	
Section 1.2

	
Background and Effective Date.  The original effective date of the Plan is January 1, 1976.  The Base Plan was amended effective July 1, 1989 to, inter alia, establish pension retirement accounts and to permit lump sum payments of the amounts credited to such accounts.  The Base Plan amendment required changes in the administration and interpretation of this Plan.  This amendment and restatement of the Plan which, except as otherwise provided herein, is generally effective for Members and Beneficiaries whose Benefit Commencement Date is on or after July 1, 1989, is intended to reflect the administration and operation of the Plan in practice since July 1, 1989, including, with respect to benefits earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, the terms of the Plan as in existence on October 3, 2004.  This Plan is further hereby amended and restated effective January 1, 2005 for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code ("Code") section 409A as added by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  The Company does not intend by the retroactive application of this amended and restated Plan to materially modify, or otherwise increase or reduce, the benefits or rights under this Plan as in existence on October 3, 2004 for purposes of Code section 409A and applicable guidance thereunder with respect to benefits earned and vested as of December 31, 2004, and this Plan shall be interpreted consistent with such intent.

  

- 1 -

  

	
  

	
Effective September 1, 2010, the Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. Retirement Plan is merged into the Base Plan and the benefits previously provided under the Hill’s Pet Products Benefit Equalization Plan (the “Hill’s Plan”) are now provided under this Plan.

	
Section 1.3

	
ERISA and Code Status. This Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan for the benefit of a select group of management or highly compensated employees exempt from parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").  With respect to the portion of the Plan which provides benefits in excess of the limitations imposed by section 415 of the Code, that portion is intended to be a separate plan which is an excess benefit plan exempt from ERISA.  The Plan is also intended to comply with Code section 409A with respect to amounts deferred after December 31, 2004, and amounts which were deferred on or before but not vested on December 31, 2004.  The Plan shall be administered and interpreted consistent with such intent.

An Eligible Employee shall become a Member under this Plan on the earlier of (i) the date his accrued benefit under the Base Plan, determined without regard to the limitations of Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415, exceeds the Maximum Benefit, or (ii) the date he satisfies each of the requirements of Section 2.9.

	
Section 3.2

	
Amount of Member’s Benefit.

	
  

	
(a)

	
In the case of any Member whose Determination Date is coincident with or immediately following his separation from service, such Member shall be entitled to a benefit under this Plan, the Actuarial Equivalent of which is equal to the difference between:

  

- 6 -

  

	
  

	
(i)

	
the benefit that would have been payable under the Base Plan as of such date in the form elected by the Member under such plan if the limitations of Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415 were not take into account in calculating the benefit; and

	
  

	
(ii)

	
the benefit actually payable under the Base Plan.

For Members previously covered under the Hill’s Plan, the determination of the benefit payable under Section 3.2(a)(i) above shall be made by treating amounts deferred under the Colgate-Palmolive Company Deferred Compensation Plan, to the extent such amounts would have been recognized as Earnings under the Base Plan determined at the Member’s Benefit Commencement Date, as benefit bearing compensation.  In the case of a Member Eligible for the Increased Benefit, the determination of the benefit payable under Section 3.2(a)(i) above shall be made by assuming that the benefit is payable in the form of a joint and 75% surviving spouse annuity with no actuarial reduction to reflect the 75% survivor annuity, provided, however that in any case where the surviving spouse is more than 60 months younger than the Member, the additional 25% surviving spouse annuity shall be reduced 1/8 of 1% (.00125) per month for each month over 60 months that the surviving spouse is younger than the Member.

	
  

	
(b)

	
In any case where the Determination Date under the Base Plan does not coincide with, or immediately follow, the Member’s separation from service, the Member shall be entitled to a benefit under this Plan, the Actuarial Equivalent of which is equal to the difference between:

  

- 7 -

  

	
  

	
(i)

	
the annual benefit that would have been payable under the Base Plan in the normal form as of the earliest date the Member could have commenced benefits under the Base Plan following his separation from service if the limitations of Code sections 401(a)(17) and 415 were not taken into account in calculating the benefit; and

	
  

	
(ii)

	
the Maximum Benefit applicable to the Member as of that date.

For Members previously covered under the Hill’s Plan, the determination of the benefit payable under Section 3.2(b)(i) above shall be made by treating amounts deferred under the Colgate-Palmolive Company Deferred Compensation Plan, to the extent such amounts would have been recognized as Earnings under the Base Plan determined at the Member’s Benefit Commencement Date, as benefit bearing compensation.  In the case of a Member Eligible for the Increased Benefit, the determination of the benefit payable under Section 3.2(b)(i) above shall be made by assuming that the benefit is payable in the form of a joint and 75% surviving spouse annuity with no actuarial reduction to reflect the 75% survivor annuity, provided, however that in any case where the surviving spouse is more than 60 months younger than the Member, the additional 25% surviving spouse annuity shall be reduced 1/8 of 1% (.00125) per month for each month over 60 months that the surviving spouse is younger than the Member.

  

- 8 -

  

	
  

	
(c)

	
The benefit amount determined above is subject to reduction as provided in Sections 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.  The benefit amount (after the reductions required under Sections 3.6 and 3.7 but prior to the reduction required under Section 3.8), when expressed as a straight life annuity, and then added to the benefit payable under the Base Plan, when expressed as a straight life annuity (in each case using the actuarial assumptions specified in Section 2.1 which are in effect on the Benefit Commencement Date), shall be limited to 70 percent of the Member’s salary base on the date of separation from service plus the value of the executive incentive compensation (whether or not payable in cash) awarded for services rendered in the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year containing the separation from service date.  For this purpose, executive incentive compensation includes cash and non-cash awards under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan of the Company.  Also for this purpose, restricted stock issued pursuant to the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan shall be valued at its publicly traded value on the New York Stock Exchange at the close of business on the date of grant.

	
  

	
(d)

	
The benefit amount determined above (after the reductions required under Sections 3.2(c), 3.6, and 3.7 but prior to the reduction required under Section 3.8) when expressed as a present value amount (in each case using the actuarial assumptions described below), and when added to the benefit determined under Section 3.2(a)(ii) or Section 3.2(b)(ii), as applicable, when expressed as a present value amount (in each case using the actuarial assumptions described below) shall be further limited to a maximum total benefit under this plan and the Base Plan of $20,000,000.  Such $20,000,000 limitation shall be increased as of the end of each calendar month at a monthly rate equivalent to an annual rate of 6% compounded annually, with the first such increase to occur as of January 31, 2010.  Application of the limitation described in this paragraph is subject to obtaining the written consent of any such Member and his Beneficiary to such reduction.

  

- 9 -

  

	
  

	
For purposes of expressing the benefit determined under paragraph (a), (b), or (c), as applicable (after the reductions required under Sections 3.2(c), 3.6, and 3.7 but prior to the reduction required under Section 3.8), as a present value amount under this paragraph 3.2(d) only, the following assumptions shall be used:

	
  

	
If the form of payment is an annuity:

	
  

	
Interest rate – The discount rate which is in effect as of the December 31 coincident with or preceding the determination date, as used to determine pension liabilities for purposes of year-end financial accounting disclosures.

	
  

	
Mortality – The mortality basis which is in effect as of the December 31 coincident with or preceding the determination date, as used to determine pension liabilities for purposes of year-end financial accounting disclosures.

  

- 10 -

  

	
  

	
If the form of payment is a lump sum:

	
  

	
The actual assumptions used in the Base Plan and the Colgate-Palmolive Company Supplemental Salaried Employees’ Retirement Plan to determine actual lump sum payments.

	
Section 3.3

	
Amount of Beneficiary’s Benefit.  Upon the death of a Member whose Beneficiary is eligible for a Beneficiary’s benefit under the Base Plan, such Beneficiary shall be entitled to an annual benefit under this Plan equal to the difference between (i) the benefit that would have been payable to the Beneficiary under the Base Plan if the limitations of Code Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 were not taken into account in calculating the benefit; and (ii) the benefit actually payable to the Beneficiary under the Base Plan.  In the case of a Member Eligible for the Increased Benefit who dies after retirement, the determination of the benefit payable under the Base Plan under (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be made by assuming that the normal form of benefit is in the form of a joint and 75% surviving spouse annuity with no actuarial reduction to reflect the 75% survivor annuity, provided, however that in any case where the surviving spouse is more than 60 months younger than the Member, the additional 25% surviving spouse annuity shall be reduced 1/8 of 1% (.00125) per month for each month over 60 months that the surviving spouse is younger than the Member.

	
Section 3.4

	
Time and Form of Payment.

Separation from Service On or After January 1, 2008 – Grandfathered Benefit.  Payment of the Grandfathered Benefit under this Plan to a Member or Beneficiary shall commence as of the Determination Date and, except as provided in this Section 3.4(a), shall be paid in the same form as the benefit payable under the Base Plan.

  

- 11 -

  

	
  

	
(i)

	
A Member or Beneficiary whose benefit under the Base Plan is calculated under Appendices B, C or D of the Base Plan may request the Employee Relations Committee to approve payment of his Grandfathered Benefit in a lump sum.  Such request must be made at least 90 days prior to his retirement date and will be accepted or denied in the sole discretion of the Employee Relations Committee.

	
  

	
(ii)

	
Except for Grandfathered Benefits determined under the Hill’s Plan, a Member or Beneficiary whose benefit under the Base Plan is not calculated under Appendices B, C or D may, with the Employee Relations Committee approval, receive payment of his Grandfathered Benefit in the form of a lump sum.

	
  

	
(iii)

	
In the case of a Member whose Grandfathered Benefit was determined under the Hill’s Plan, and where the Actuarial Equivalent of such Grandfathered Benefit is $20,000 or less, the Employee Relations Committee in its sole discretion may require that the Grandfathered Benefit be paid in a lump sum.

  

- 12 -

  

	
  

	
(b)

	
Separation from Service on or After January 1, 2008 – Non-Grandfathered Benefit.

	
  

	
(i)

	
A Member whose benefit under the Base Plan is calculated under Appendices B, C or D of the Base Plan and who is married on the date of his separation from service shall receive payment of the Non-Grandfathered Benefit in the form of a Joint and 50% Survivor Annuity (Joint and 75% if such Member is a Member Eligible for the Increased Benefit), commencing as soon as practicable following the Member’s separation from service.  If such Member is not married on the date of his separation from service, payment of the Non-Grandfathered Benefit shall be made in the form of a level monthly annuity for life commencing as soon as practicable following the Member’s separation from service.  Payment to a Beneficiary shall be made in the form of a level monthly annuity for life commencing as soon as practicable following the Member’s death.

	
  

	
(ii)

Section 3.5

	
Effect of Changes in the Maximum Benefit.  If, prior to a Member’s Benefit Commencement Date, the benefits payable under the Base Plan increase as a result of increases in the Maximum Benefit, the benefits under this Plan shall be recalculated to take into account the higher Maximum Benefit payable from the Base Plan.

Section 3.8

	
Reduction in Benefits for FICA Tax Imposed on Plan Benefits.  Effective for Benefit Commencement Dates on or after January 1, 2005, where the Member’s Benefit Commencement Date coincides with the Member’s “resolution date,” as defined in Reg. Sec. 31.3121(v)(2)-1(e)(4)(i), and all or a portion of the Member’s benefit is payable as a lump sum, the lump sum payment shall be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent of the taxes imposed on the Member under Code sections 3101(a) and (b) (and the income tax required to be withheld on the amount of such taxes) which are attributable to the Member’s Plan benefit, which amounts shall be paid in satisfaction of the Member’s tax liability.

In the absence of a Beneficiary who survives the Member, upon the Member’s death, payment of any benefit owed to a Member's Beneficiary, if any, shall be made to the Member's estate in a lump sum as soon as practicable.

Section 4.2

	
Claims Procedures.  Any complaint with regard to benefits under the Plan should be directed to the Secretary of the Employee Relations Committee, Colgate-Palmolive, 300 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10022.  Such complaint must be filed in writing no later than 90 days after the date of retirement, termination or other occurrence related to the complaint.  Within 90 days of the filing of such claim, unless special circumstances require an extension of such period, such person will be given notice in writing of the approval or denial of the claim.  If the claim is denied, the notice will set forth the reason for the denial, the Plan provisions on which the denial is based, an explanation of what other material or information, if any, is needed to perfect the claim, and an explanation of the claims review procedure.  The claimant may request a review of such denial within 60 days of the date of receipt of such denial by filing notice in writing with the Employee Relations Committee.  The claimant will have the right to review pertinent Plan documents and to submit issues and comments in writing.  The Employee Relations Committee will respond in writing to a request for review within 60 days of receiving it, unless special circumstances require an extension of such period.  If the claimant does not request such a review or the Employee Relations Committee fails to respond to such a request for review in writing, the request for review will be deemed to have been made and denied on the 120th day after the date of the initial denial.  The Employee Relations Committee, in its discretion, may request a meeting to clarify any matters deemed appropriate.  No action may be brought for benefits under this Plan pursuant to the denial of a claim, unless such claim was timely made under this Section and such complaint is filed on or before one year from the denial or deemed denial by the Employee Relations Committee of any such claim upon review.

Section 4.3

	
Delegated Responsibilities.  The Employee Relations Committee shall have the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to such persons as it deems proper.

	
Section 4.4

	
Amendment and Termination.  The Company may amend, modify or terminate this Plan at any time, provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or termination shall reduce any benefit under this Plan to which a Member, or the Member’s Beneficiary, is entitled under Article III prior to the date of such amendment or termination, and in which such Member or Beneficiary would have been vested if such benefit had been provided under the Base Plan, unless the Member or Beneficiary either becomes entitled to an amount equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of such benefit under another plan, including the Base Plan, program or practice adopted by the Company or the Member or Beneficiary consents in writing to such reduction.  The Employee Relations Committee may make changes to this Plan which do not materially reduce the value of the benefits paid under this Plan to conform to, or take advantage of, any governmental requirements, statutes, regulations or other authority.

	
Section 4.5

	
Payments.  The Company will pay all benefits arising under this Plan and all costs, charges and expenses relating thereto out of its general assets.

	
Section 4.6

	
Non-Assignability of Benefits.  Except as otherwise required by law, neither any benefit payable hereunder nor the right to receive any future benefit under this Plan may be anticipated, alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or subjected to any charge or legal process, and if any attempt is made to do so, or a person eligible for any benefits under this Plan becomes bankrupt, the interest under this Plan of the person affected may be terminated by the Employee Relations Committee which, in its sole discretion, may cause the same to be held or applied for the benefit of one or more of the dependents of such person or make any other disposition of such benefits that it deems appropriate and is consistent with Code Section 409A.

Section 4.7

	
Plan Unfunded.  Nothing in this Plan shall be interpreted or construed to require the Company in any manner to fund any obligation to the Members or Beneficiaries hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Plan nor any action taken here under shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Members or Beneficiaries.  Any funds which may be accumulated in order to meet any obligation under this Plan shall for all purposes continue to be a part of the general assets of the Company.  To the extent that any Member or Beneficiary acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under this Plan, such rights shall be no greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

	
Section 4.8

	
Applicable Law.  All questions pertaining to the construction, validity and effect of this Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, to the extent not preempted by Federal law.

	
Section 4.9

	
No Employment Rights Conferred.  The establishment of the Plan shall not be construed as conferring any rights upon any Eligible Employee for continuation of employment, nor shall it be construed as limiting in any way the right of the Company to discharge any Eligible Employee or treat him without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him under the Plan.

Plan to Comply with Code Section 409A.
