 CITIGROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person
under the Indenture), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $500,000,000 on November 8, 2017 and to pay interest thereon from and including February 8, 2013 or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly, on the eighth day of each February, May, August and November, commencing May 8, 2013, at the rate per annum for each Interest Period of
three-month LIBOR, determined as provided herein, plus 1.050% until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. 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 is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. 

Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the holder on such Record Date and
may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent Record Date, such subsequent Record Date to be not less than five days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest, notice
whereof shall be given to holders of Notes of this series not less than 15 days prior to such subsequent Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 

 Interest hereon will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in an
Interest Period and a 360-day year. Dollar amounts resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. An “Interest Period” shall be the period from and including an Interest
Payment Date (or from February 8, 2013 in the case of the first Interest Payment Date) to and including the day immediately preceding the next Interest Payment Date. 
 If an Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date will be the next succeeding Business Day. If the Maturity of the Notes falls on a day that is not a
Business Day, the payment due on Maturity will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no further interest will accrue in respect of such postponement. If a date for payment of interest or principal on the Notes falls on a day that is
not a business day in the place of payment, such payment will be made on the next succeeding business day in such place of payment as if made on the date the payment was due. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable for the period from and
after the due date for payment of such principal or interest. 
 For these purposes, “Business Day” means any day
which is a day on which commercial banks settle payments and are open for general business in The City of New York. 
 Payment
of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in The City of New York. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee or by an authenticating agent on behalf of
the Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company (the
“Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under the Indenture, dated as of March 15, 1987 (as amended and supplemented to date, 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 Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated
on the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal to $500,000,000. 
 This Note will bear interest for each Interest Period at
a rate determined by Citibank, N.A., acting as Calculation Agent. The interest rate on this Note for a particular Interest Period will be a per annum rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined on the related Interest Determination Date, plus
1.050%. The Interest Determination Date for an Interest Period will be the second London business day preceding such Interest Period. The Interest Determination Date for the first Interest Period was February 6, 2013. Promptly upon
determination, the Calculation Agent will inform the Trustee and the Company of the interest rate for the next Interest Period. Absent manifest error, the determination of the interest rate by the Calculation Agent shall be binding and conclusive on
the holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Company. 
 A London business day is a day on which dealings in deposits in U.S.
dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 
 On any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be equal to the offered
rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months for the next Interest Period, in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as such rate appears on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest
Determination Date. If the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 is replaced by another service or ceases to exist, the Calculation Agent will use the replacing service or such other service that may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association for the
purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits. 
 If no offered rate appears on Reuters Screen
LIBOR01 on an Interest Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) will select four major banks in the London interbank market and shall request each of their
principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is
representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the Calculation Agent will select three major banks in New York City and shall
request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by them at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Interest Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months
for the applicable Interest Period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single 

  
 5 

 
transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, LIBOR will be the arithmetic average of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the rate of LIBOR for the next Interest Period will be set
equal to the rate of LIBOR for the current Interest Period. 
 The Luxembourg Stock Exchange shall be notified of the interest
rate, the amount of the interest payment and the Interest Payment Date for a particular Interest Period not later than the first day of such Interest Period. Upon request from any Noteholder, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate in
effect on this Note for the current Interest Period and, if it has been determined, the interest rate to be in effect for the next Interest Period. 
 If an event of default (as defined in the Indenture) with respect to Notes of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
 The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the
entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth in Sections 11.03 and 11.04 thereof, which provisions apply to this Note. 
 The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of the Securities, to establish, among other things, the form and terms of any series of
Securities issuable thereunder by one or more supplemental indentures, and, with the consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding which are affected thereby, to modify the
Indenture or any supplemental indenture or the rights of the holders of Securities of such series to be affected, provided that no such modification will (i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities, reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium, if any, thereon, reduce the amount of the principal of Original Issue Discount Securities payable on any date, change the currency in which Securities are payable, or
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof, without the consent of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series the
consent of the holders of which is required for any such modification without the consent of the holders of all Securities of such series then outstanding, or (iii) modify, without the written consent of the Trustee, the rights, duties or
immunities of the Trustee. 
 No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

This Note is a Global Security registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in
the name of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances hereinafter described. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Notes in certificated form, this Note may not be transferred
except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository. 

  
 6 

 The Notes represented by this Global Security are exchangeable for definitive Notes in
certificated form of like tenor as such Notes in denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof only if (i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Notes or
(ii) the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or (iii) the Company in its sole discretion decides to allow the Notes to be exchanged for definitive Notes in registered
form. Any Notes that are exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence are exchangeable for certificated Notes issuable in authorized denominations and registered in such names as the Depository shall direct. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of definitive Notes in certificated form is registrable in the register maintained by the Company in The City of New York for such purpose, upon surrender of the definitive Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the registrar duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. Subject to the
foregoing, this Note is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security or Global Securities of this issue of the same principal amount to be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this
Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither
the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Company will pay additional
amounts (“Additional Amounts”) to the beneficial owner of any Note that is a non-United States person in order to ensure that every net payment on such Note will not be less, due to payment of U.S. withholding tax, than the amount then due
and payable. For this purpose, a “net payment” on a Note means a payment by the Company or a paying agent, including payment of principal and interest, after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge
of the United States. These Additional Amounts will constitute additional interest on the Note. 
 The Company will not be
required to pay Additional Amounts, however, in any of the circumstances described in items (1) through (13) below. 
  

	 	(1)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner: 

  

	 	(a)	having a relationship with the United States as a citizen, resident or otherwise; 

  
 7 

	 	(b)	having had such a relationship in the past or 

  

	 	(c)	being considered as having had such a relationship. 

  

	 	(2)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner: 

  

	 	(a)	being treated as present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States; 

 

	 	(b)	being treated as having been present in or engaged in a trade or business in the United States in the past or 

 

	 	(c)	having or having had a permanent establishment in the United States. 

  

	 	(3)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld in
whole or in part by reason of the beneficial owner being or having been any of the following (as such terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended): 

 

	 	(a)	personal holding company; 

  

	 	(b)	foreign personal holding company; 

  

	 	(c)	foreign private foundation or other foreign tax-exempt organization; 

  

	 	(d)	passive foreign investment company; 

  

	 	(e)	controlled foreign corporation or 

  

	 	(f)	corporation which has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax. 

 

	 	(4)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the beneficial owner owning or having owned, actually or constructively, 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company entitled to vote or by reason of the beneficial owner being a
bank that has invested in a Note as an extension of credit in the ordinary course of its trade or business. 

 For purposes of
items (1) through (4) above, “beneficial owner” means a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the holder if the holder is an estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity,
or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder. 
  

	 	(5)	Additional Amounts will not be payable to any beneficial owner of a Note that is a: 

 

	 	(a)	fiduciary; 

  
 8 

	 	(b)	partnership; 

  

	 	(c)	limited liability company or 

  

	 	(d)	other fiscally transparent entity 

or that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, or any portion of the Note. However, this exception to the obligation to pay
Additional Amounts will only apply to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor in relation to the fiduciary, or a beneficial owner or member of the partnership, limited liability company or other fiscally transparent entity, would not have been
entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment. 

 

	 	(6)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld
solely by reason of the failure of the beneficial owner or any other person to comply with applicable certification, identification, documentation or other information reporting requirements. This exception to the obligation to pay Additional
Amounts will only apply if compliance with such reporting requirements is required by statute or regulation of the United States or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge. 

  

	 	(7)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is collected or imposed by
any method other than by withholding from a payment on a Note by the Company or a paying agent. 

  

	 	(8)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

 

	 	(9)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by
reason of the presentation by the beneficial owner of a Note for payment more than 30 days after the date on which such payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later. 

 

	 	(10)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any: 

 

	 	(a)	estate tax; 

  

	 	(b)	inheritance tax; 

  

	 	(c)	gift tax; 

  
 9 

	 	(d)	sales tax; 

  

	 	(e)	excise tax; 

  

	 	(f)	transfer tax; 

  

	 	(g)	wealth tax; 

  

	 	(h)	personal property tax or 

  

	 	(i)	any similar tax, assessment, withholding, deduction or other governmental charge. 

 

	 	(11)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge required to be withheld by any
paying agent from a payment of principal or interest on a Note if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other paying agent. 

  

	 	(12)	Additional amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is required to be made
pursuant to any European Union directive on the taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced to conform to, any such directive. 

 

	 	(13)	Additional Amounts will not be payable if a payment on a Note is reduced as a result of any combination of items (1) through (12) above.

 Except as specifically provided herein, the Company will not be required to make any payment of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority of such government. 
 As used in this Note, “United States person” means: 
  

	 	(a)	any individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; 

  

	 	(b)	any corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States; 

 

	 	(c)	any estate if the income of such estate falls within the federal income tax jurisdiction of the United States regardless of the source of such income and

  

	 	(d)	any trust if a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more United States persons have the authority to control
all of the substantial decisions of the trust. 

 Additionally, “non-United States person” means a
person who is not a United States person, and “United States” means the states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, but excluding its territories and its possessions. 

Except as provided below, the Notes may not be redeemed prior to maturity. 

 

	 	(1)	The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes if: 

  

	 	(a)	the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

  
 10 

	 	(b)	the obligation to pay Additional Amounts arises as a result of any change in the laws, regulations or rulings of the United States, or an official position regarding
the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change is announced or becomes effective on or after January 31, 2013 and 

 

	 	(c)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company. 

  

	 	(2)	The Company may also redeem the Notes, at its option, if: 

  

	 	(a)	any act is taken by a taxing authority of the United States on or after January 31, 2013, whether or not such act is taken in relation to the Company or any
affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay Additional Amounts as described above; 

  

	 	(b)	the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such Additional Amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to
it, other than substituting the obligor under the Notes or taking any action that would entail a material cost to the Company and 

  

	 	(c)	the Company receives an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of the United States results in a substantial probability
that the Company will or may be required to pay the Additional Amounts described above, and delivers to the Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer, stating that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes
pursuant to their terms. 

 Any redemption of the Notes as set forth in clauses (1) or (2) above shall be in whole, and
not in part, and will be made at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption. Holders shall be given not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60
days’ prior notice by the Trustee of the date fixed for such redemption. 
 All terms used in this Note which are defined
in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. The Notes are governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

  
 11EX-10.1

 Exhibit 10.1 
 FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT 
 This FIRST AMENDMENT TO
CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “First Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the 12th day of December, 2012, by and among CABOT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Designated Borrowers as
of the date hereof (together with the Company, collectively, the “Borrowers”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and Lenders constituting Required Lenders as of the date hereof. 

WHEREAS, the Borrowers are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2011 (as the same may be amended
and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrowers, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent; and 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that each of the Lenders agree, and Lenders constituting Required Lenders under the terms of the Credit Agreement have agreed, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein, to make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Definitions; Loan Document. Capitalized terms used in this First Amendment without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. This First Amendment
shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 2. Amendments to
Section 1.01 (Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 a. The definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 ““Consolidated EBITDA” means, with reference to any period, Consolidated Net Income for such period plus (a) without duplication, to the extent deducted from revenues in
determining such Consolidated Net Income, (i) Consolidated Interest Charges (without giving effect to the last sentence of the definition of such term), (ii) the provision for federal, state, local and foreign income taxes payable,
(iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization expense, and (v) other non-cash charges, minus (b) to the extent included in such Consolidated Net Income, all non-cash income or gains (including income tax benefits), all
calculated for the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP on a consolidated basis. For the purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA for any period, if during such period the Company or any Subsidiary shall have made a Permitted
Acquisition, Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be calculated after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition on a Pro Forma Basis as if such Permitted Acquisition occurred on the first day of such period.” 

 b. The definition of “Consolidated Interest Charges” is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 ““Consolidated Interest Charges” means, with
reference to any period, for the Company and its Subsidiaries calculated in accordance with GAAP on a consolidated basis (without duplication) for such period, the sum of all interest, premium payments, debt discount, fees, charges and related
expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with borrowed money (including capitalized interest and other fees and charges incurred under any Securitization Transactions) or in connection with the deferred purchase price of assets, in
each case to the extent treated as interest in accordance with GAAP. For the purposes of calculating Consolidated Interest Charges for any period, if during such period the Company or any Subsidiary shall have made a Permitted Acquisition,
Consolidated Interest Charges for such period shall be calculated after giving effect to such Permitted Acquisition (and all associated Indebtedness) on a Pro Forma Basis as if such Permitted Acquisition occurred on the first day of such
period.” 
 3. No Waiver. Except as a result of the amendments set forth in Paragraph 2 of this First
Amendment, nothing contained in this First Amendment shall be deemed to (i) constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default that may heretofore or hereafter occur or have occurred and be continuing or to otherwise modify any provision of
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to the Administrative Agent’s or any of the Lenders’ right to compel payment of the Obligations when due or to otherwise enforce their
respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 4. Conditions to
Effectiveness. This First Amendment shall become effective on the date upon which the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) receives from each of the Borrowers and each of the Lenders constituting Required Lenders (i) a counterpart of this
First Amendment, signed on behalf of such Person, or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page of this First Amendment) that such Person has signed a
counterpart of this First Amendment. 
 5. Legal Fees. The Company shall promptly pay, upon receiving an invoice
therefor, all fees, charges and disbursements of Goulston & Storrs, PC, counsel to the Administrative Agent (directly to such counsel if requested by the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection with this First Amendment. 

6. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

  
 2

regulation of any Governmental Authority or any Organization Document of any Borrower, and (vi) do not and will not conflict with or result in any material breach or contravention of, or the creation of any material Lien under, or require any
material payment to be made under (A) any material Contractual Obligation to which any Borrower is a party or affecting any Borrower or the properties of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree
of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which any Borrower or the properties of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. 
 (b) This First Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(c) The representations and warranties made by the Borrowers in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material
respects (or in all respects if the applicable representation or warranty is already qualified by concepts of materiality) on and as of the date hereof, as though made on the date hereof. 

(d) After giving effect to this First Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 7. Ratification, etc. Except as expressly amended by this First Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and all documents, instruments and agreements related thereto are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. This First Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall hereafter be read and
