Credit Agreement 

          Dated as of August 23, 2005

     CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of August 23, 2005 among Avon
Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“API”), Avon Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ACC” and collectively with API, the “Borrowers”), and Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Amended and Restated $600,000,000 Revolving Credit and Competitive Advance Facility Agreement dated as
of May 1, 2001 (as in effect on the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) among the Borrowers, the Additional Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and The
Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent for such lenders. 

     SECTION 1.  The Advances.  (a)  Bank of America hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to
make advances (each, an “Advance”) denominated in U.S. dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this
Agreement to (but not including) the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (the “Facility”).  Each Advance shall be made at the
same time and in the same principal amount as borrowings under the credit agreement to be entered into on the date hereof with Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Facility”), which credit agreement shall be identical in all material respects to this Agreement and shall provide for a committed revolving credit facility to be made available to the Borrowers in the same amount and on the same terms and
conditions as the Facility.  Within the limits of the unused portion of the Facility in effect from time to time, any Borrower may borrow under this Section 1(a), prepay pursuant to Section 1(e) and reborrow under this Section 1(a). 

     (b) A Borrower may request an Advance hereunder by giving notice thereof (a “Notice of Borrowing”), not later
than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time), (A) on the Business Day of such Advance for Advances bearing interest by reference to the Base Rate (as defined below) (“Base Rate Advances”) or (B) on the third Business Days prior to such Advance for Advances bearing interest by reference to LIBOR (“Eurodollar Rate Advances”), which
Notice of Borrowing sets forth the same information as is required to be included in comparable Revolving Credit Loan Requests delivered under the Existing Credit Agreement and an additional certification by the applicable Borrower that a borrowing
under the Citibank Facility has been requested to be made at the same time and in the same amount as the related Advance to be made hereunder by Bank of America.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 2, if applicable,
and 3, Bank of America will make the proceeds of such Advance available to the Borrower requesting such Advance at the account specified by such Borrower in the related Notice of Borrowing. All Notices of Borrowing may be delivered by telephone and
confirmed in writing.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Rate” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum in effect from time to time, which rate per annum
shall be equal to the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of America in New York, New York as its prime rate in effect on such day and (b) the sum of (i) 1⁄2 of 1% per annum and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect
on such day. Further, for purposes of this Agreement, the definition of “Interest Period” (as incorporated herein by reference) shall be deemed to mean periods ending seven days, one month, two months or three months after (x) the date of
borrowing of the applicable Advance or (y) the last day of the preceding Interest Period, subject to clauses (i), (iii) and (except in the case of an Interest Period of seven days) (ii) of the definition of Interest Period set forth in the Existing
Credit Agreement. 

     (c) The Facility shall be automatically terminated and each Borrower shall repay to Bank of America the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances made to it, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of August 22, 2006 and the date of the termination of

1

the Facility in full pursuant to Section 1 hereof or Article 8 of the Existing Credit Agreement as incorporated by reference (the “Termination Date”).  Upon the issuance by API or any of its Subsidiaries of any debt security in the capital markets with a maturity in excess of one year and in an amount of $100,000,000 or more, the Facility shall automatically reduce by an
amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds from any such issuance on the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by API or its Subsidiaries of such proceeds. 

     (d) API may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to Bank of America, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Facility, provided that the Facility shall be reduced on any date on which the Citibank Facility is being reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the reduction of the Citibank Facility being made on such
date. The Borrowers shall, on each date of a reduction in the Facility as set forth in Section 1(c) above or this Section 1(d), repay the Advances in a principal amount equal to the excess of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Advances over the Facility as so reduced. 

     (e) Either Borrower may, upon notice given to Bank of America not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) (i) on the date of the proposed prepayment, in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate
Advances or (ii) on the third Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given
such Borrower shall, prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Advances specified in such notice, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall prepay Advances outstanding hereunder on any date on which outstanding advances are being prepaid under
the Citibank Facility by an amount equal to the amount of the outstanding advances under the Citibank Facility being so prepaid on such date. All notices of prepayment may be given by telephone confirmed in writing. All prepayments under this
Section 1(e) shall be made together with (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of
an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement as incorporated herein by reference. 

     (f) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it from the date of such Advance until the principal amount thereof is paid in full on the dates for
payment specified for advances of the same type under the Existing Credit Agreement and a rate per annum equal, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Base Rate in effect from time to time and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, to the sum
of the Eurodollar LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest Period plus 0.20% per annum. Similarly, API shall pay a facility fee on the Facility from the date of this
Agreement to the Termination Date at the rate of 0.05% per annum. 

     (g) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or setoff, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars and
in same day funds to Bank of America at the account of Bank of America most recently specified in writing to the Borrowers by Bank of America. All computations of interest determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of “Base
Rate” and of facility fees payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all other computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case
for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. 

     (h) The proceeds of the Advances shall be available for general corporate purposes, which shall include the use thereof, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental

2
     

     

or ultimate, of funding or making payments on account of the purchase, redemption and retirement by API of any shares of capital stock of API or any related option, warrant or similar right. 

     SECTION 2.  Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective on the first date (the
“Effective Date”) on which all of the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:

          shall have been satisfied with respect to this Agreement as if such conditions precedent were set forth in full herein (with appropriate modifications to refer to Bank of America, as the lender, the Facility and this Agreement). 

           (b) Bank of America shall have received written opinions, addressed to it, dated the Effective Date, from Gilbert L. Klemann, II, General Counsel of API, in substantially the form of Exhibit A

     SECTION 3.  Conditions Precedent to Each Advance.  The obligation of Bank of America to make an Advance shall be subject
to the further conditions precedent that on the date of such Advance and after giving effect thereto, each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by Bank of America (and the acceptance by either Borrower
of the proceeds of such Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Borrower that, on the date of such Advance, such conditions have been satisfied or waived): 

           (a) the representations and warranties incorporated by reference into this Agreement from Section 5.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained
          in Sections 5.01(d)(ii) and 5.01(e) of the Existing Credit Agreement, as incorporated herein by reference, or any other representations or warranties that expressly relate to a date certain) are true and correct with the same effect as though such
          representations and warranties had been made at the time of such Advance;

     
                (b)
          no Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
          and 

           (c) a borrowing under the Citibank Facility has been requested to be made at the same time and in the same amount as such Advance is to be made by Bank of America. 

     SECTION 4.  Incorporation by Reference.  (a) All of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, all representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, increased costs, taxes, capital adequacy, assignment and confidentiality provisions, and all defined terms used therein and exhibits and schedules to
the Existing Credit Agreement referred to therein, but excluding Section 3.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement, any references thereto, any reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to the “Disclosed SEC Investigation” or the

Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling. The incorporation by reference into this Agreement of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement is for convenience (i.e., economy of language) only, and this Agreement
and the Existing Credit Agreement shall at all times be, and be deemed to be and treated as, separate and distinct loan obligations.  The incorporation by reference into this Agreement of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement
shall not be affected or impaired by any subsequent amendment, expiration or termination of the Existing Credit Agreement. 

     (b) At the request of Bank of America and with the consent of each Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), this Agreement shall be amended and restated to set forth in full the provisions

     (e) API agrees to indemnify Bank of America and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Advances or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not

final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted form the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee.

     The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions

Credit Agreement 

          Dated as of August 23, 2005

     CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of August 23, 2005 among Avon
Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“API”), Avon Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ACC” and collectively with API, the “Borrowers”), and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Amended and Restated $600,000,000 Revolving Credit and Competitive Advance Facility Agreement dated as of May
1, 2001 (as in effect on the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”) among the Borrowers, the Additional Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and The Chase
Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent for such lenders. 

     SECTION 1. The Advances. (a) Citibank hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances
(each, an “Advance”) denominated in U.S. dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement to (but not
including) the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (the “Facility”).  Each Advance shall be made at the same time and in the
same principal amount as borrowings under the credit agreement to be entered into on the date hereof with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Bank of America Facility”),
which credit agreement shall be identical in all material respects to this Agreement and shall provide for a committed revolving credit facility to be made available to the Borrowers in the same amount and on the same terms and conditions as the
Facility. Within the limits of the unused portion of the Facility in effect from time to time, any Borrower may borrow under this Section 1(a), prepay pursuant to Section 1(e) and reborrow under this Section 1(a). 

     (b) A Borrower may request an Advance hereunder by giving notice thereof (a “Notice of Borrowing”), not later
than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time), (A) on the Business Day of such Advance for Advances bearing interest by reference to the Base Rate (as defined below) (“Base Rate Advances”) or (B) on the third Business Days prior to such Advance for Advances bearing interest by reference to LIBOR (“Eurodollar Rate Advances”), which
Notice of Borrowing sets forth the same information as is required to be included in comparable Revolving Credit Loan Requests delivered under the Existing Credit Agreement and an additional certification by the applicable Borrower that a borrowing
under the Bank of America Facility has been requested to be made at the same time and in the same amount as the related Advance to be made hereunder by Citibank. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 2, if applicable,
and 3, Citibank will make the proceeds of such Advance available to the Borrower requesting such Advance at the account specified by such Borrower in the related Notice of Borrowing. All Notices of Borrowing may be delivered by telephone and
confirmed in writing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Base Rate” means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum in effect from time to time, which rate per annum
shall be equal to the highest of (a) the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank in New York, New York as its base rate in effect on such day and (b) the sum of (i) 1⁄2 of 1% per annum and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such
day. Further, for purposes of this Agreement, the definition of “Interest Period” (as incorporated herein by reference) shall be deemed to mean periods ending seven days, one month, two months or three months after (x) the date of
borrowing of the applicable Advance or (y) the last day of the preceding Interest Period, subject to clauses (i), (iii) and (except in the case of an Interest Period of seven days) (ii) of the definition of Interest Period set forth in the Existing
Credit Agreement. 

     (c) The Facility shall be automatically terminated and each Borrower shall repay to Citibank the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances made to it, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, on the earlier of August 22, 2006 and the date of the termination of the

1

Facility in full pursuant to Section 1 hereof or Article 8 of the Existing Credit Agreement as incorporated by reference (the “Termination Date”). Upon the issuance by API or any of its Subsidiaries of any debt security in the capital markets with a maturity in excess of one year and in an amount of $100,000,000 or more, the Facility shall automatically reduce by an
amount equal to 50% of the net cash proceeds from any such issuance on the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt by API or its Subsidiaries of such proceeds. 

     (d) API may, upon at least three Business Days' notice to Citibank, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Facility, provided that the Facility shall be reduced on any date on which the Bank of America Facility is being reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the reduction of the Bank of America Facility being
made on such date. The Borrowers shall, on each date of a reduction in the Facility as set forth in Section 1(c) above or this Section 1(d), repay the Advances in a principal amount equal to the excess of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Advances over the Facility as so reduced. 

     (e) Either Borrower may, upon notice given to Citibank not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) (i) on the date of the proposed prepayment, in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate
Advances or (ii) on the third Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, in the case of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given
such Borrower shall, prepay the aggregate principal amount of the Advances specified in such notice, provided, however, that the Borrowers shall prepay Advances outstanding hereunder on any date on which outstanding advances are being prepaid under
the Bank of America Facility by an amount equal to the amount of the outstanding advances under the Bank of America Facility being so prepaid on such date. All notices of prepayment may be given by telephone confirmed in writing. All prepayments
under this Section 1(e) shall be made together with (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance on a date other than the
last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement as incorporated herein by reference. 

     (f) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it from the date of such Advance until the principal amount thereof is paid in full on the dates for
payment specified for advances of the same type under the Existing Credit Agreement and a rate per annum equal, in the case of Base Rate Advances, to the Base Rate in effect from time to time and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, to the sum
of the Eurodollar LIBOR in effect for the applicable Interest Period plus 0.20% per annum. Similarly, API shall pay a facility fee on the Facility from the date of this
Agreement to the Termination Date at the rate of 0.05% per annum. 

     (g) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or setoff, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars and
in same day funds to Citibank at the account of Citibank most recently specified in writing to the Borrowers by Citibank.  All computations of interest determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” and of facility
fees payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all other computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. 

     (h) The proceeds of the Advances shall be available for general corporate purposes, which shall include the use thereof, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental
or ultimate, of funding or making payments on account of the purchase, redemption and retirement by API of any shares of capital stock of API or any related option, warrant or similar right.

          shall have been satisfied with respect to this Agreement as if such conditions precedent were set forth in full herein (with appropriate modifications to refer to Citibank, as the lender, the Facility and this Agreement). 

           (b) Citibank shall have received written opinions, addressed to it, dated the Effective Date, from Gilbert L. Klemann, II, General Counsel of API, in substantially the form of Exhibit A to the
          this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.  Conditions Precedent to Each Advance.  The obligation of Citibank to make an Advance shall be subject to the
further conditions precedent that on the date of such Advance and after giving effect thereto, each of the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by Citibank (and the acceptance by either Borrower of the
proceeds of such Advance shall constitute a representation and warranty by such Borrower that, on the date of such Advance, such conditions have been satisfied or waived): 

           (a) the representations and warranties incorporated by reference into this Agreement from Section 5.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained
          in Sections 5.01(d)(ii) and 5.01(e) of the Existing Credit Agreement, as incorporated herein by reference, or any other representations or warranties that expressly relate to a date certain) are true and correct with the same effect as though such
          representations and warranties had been made at the time of such Advance;

     
                (b)
          no Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
          and 

           (c) a borrowing under the Bank of America Facility has been requested to be made at the same time and in the same amount as such Advance is to be made by Citibank. 

     SECTION 4.  Incorporation by Reference.  (a) All of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, all representations and warranties, covenants, events of default, increased costs, taxes, capital adequacy, assignment and confidentiality provisions, and all defined terms used therein and exhibits and schedules to
the Existing Credit Agreement referred to therein, but excluding Section 3.08 of the Existing Credit Agreement, any references thereto, any reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to the “Disclosed SEC Investigation” or the
“Utilization Fee” and, except as expressly otherwise set forth or incorporated herein by reference, Article 6 of the Existing Credit Agreement) that are not otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement are specifically incorporated
herein by reference with the same force and effect as if the same were set out in this Agreement in full. Except as otherwise provided herein, all references in such incorporated provisions to the “Administrative Agent”, a “Bank”
or the “Banks” or words of similar import or to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “hereto” or “hereunder” or words of similar import shall, without further reference, mean and refer to Citibank under this
Agreement and to this Agreement, respectively; all references in such incorporated provisions to “API”, “ACC”, a “Borrower” or the “Borrowers” shall, without further reference, mean and refer to such Borrower
hereunder; all references in such incorporated provisions to a “Revolving Credit Loan” or the “Revolving Credit Loans” or a “Borrowing” or words of similar import shall, without further reference, mean and refer to an
Advance or the Advances, as appropriate, hereunder; all references in such incorporated provisions to a “Commitment” or the “Total Commitment” 

3
     

     

shall, without further reference, mean and refer to the Facility hereunder; all references in such incorporated provisions to the “Termination Date” shall, without further reference, mean and refer to the
Termination Date hereunder; all references in such incorporated provisions to the date “December 31, 2000” shall, without further reference, mean and refer to the date December 31, 2004; all references in such incorporated provisions to
“Schedule 5.01(e)” shall, without further reference, mean and refer to Schedule 5.01(e) to this Agreement; and all references in such incorporated provisions to “the date hereof” or words of similar import shall, without further
reference, mean and refer to the date of this Agreement. Similarly, to the extent any word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, any such word or phrase appearing in provisions so incorporated by reference from the Existing Credit Agreement shall
have the meaning given to it in this Agreement. If any of the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling. The incorporation by reference into this
Agreement of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement is for convenience (i.e., economy of language) only, and this Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement shall at all times be, and be deemed to be and treated as, separate and
distinct loan obligations.  The incorporation by reference into this Agreement of the terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement shall not be affected or impaired by any subsequent amendment, expiration or termination of the Existing
Credit Agreement. 

     (b) At the request of Citibank and with the consent of each Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld), this Agreement shall be amended and restated to set forth in full the provisions
incorporated by reference herein from the Existing Credit Agreement and, by its execution of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees to modify the terms and provisions of this Agreement as appropriate to provide for the inclusion of additional
lenders upon any assignment or proposed assignment by Citibank of its rights and obligations hereunder effected in accordance with Section 5(h). In addition, API hereby agrees to notify Citibank promptly and in any event within three Business Days
of any amendment, supplement or other modification to the Existing Credit Agreement and, at the request of Citibank, to enter into any amendment or supplement to this Agreement proposed by Citibank to incorporate comparable amendments, supplements
or other modifications to this Agreement. 

     SECTION 5.  Miscellaneous.  (a)  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure
by either Borrower herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Borrower and Citibank, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given. 

     (b) All notices and other communications provided for hereunder (except as specified in Section 1(b) or 1(e)) shall be in writing (including telecopier, telegraphic or telex) and mailed,
telecopied, telegraphed, telexed or delivered, if to either Borrower, at the address of API at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, Telephone:  212-282-5114, Telecopy: 212-282-6116, Attention: Mr. Dennis Ling, Senior Vice President
Finance-Treasurer; and if to Citibank, at its address at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Telephone:  (212) 816-8161, Telecopy: (212) 816-8153, Attention: Mr. Sandy Salgado; or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.  All such notices and communications shall be effective when delivered at the applicable address.

     (c) No failure on the part of Citibank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

     (d) API agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Citibank, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel (plus on firm of
local

4
     

     

counsel in any relevant jurisdiction to the extent necessary or appropriate in connection with any proceeding relating to enforcement) in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, if necessary, in
connection with the administration and enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement. 

     (e) API agrees to indemnify Citibank and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such Person, an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Advances or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted form the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee.

     The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Advances, the reduction or cancellation of the Facility, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, or any investigation made by or on behalf of Citibank. All
amounts due under this Section 5(e) shall be payable in immediately available funds upon written demand thereof. 

     (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and Citibank and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower shall have the right to
assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Citibank. 

     (g) Citibank may assign to one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to API all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of the Facility and the Advances owing to it) on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as are set forth for assignments by lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement. In connection with any such assignment, each Borrower agrees
to execute and deliver such documentation as Citibank or any such permitted assignee may reasonably request to evidence such assignment and the rights and obligations of such assignee hereunder. 

     (h) This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts by the parties hereto, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

     (i) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 

     (j) Any judicial proceeding brought against either Borrower with respect to this Agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the City of New York, and, by its execution
and delivery of this Agreement, each Borrower shall be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to (a) accept, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of such courts, (b) irrevocably waive any objection they may now or hereafter have
as to the venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought in

5
     

     

such a court or that such court is an inconvenient forum and (c) consent that service of process upon any of them may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at their address specified or
determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) and service so made shall be deemed completed when received.  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of
Citibank to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. 

6
     

     

     (k) Waiver of Right to Jury. Each of the Borrowers and Citibank waives trial by jury in any judicial proceeding
involving, directly or indirectly, any matter (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement or the relationships established hereby. 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date
first above written.
