Exhibit 10.2 - 10-Q JAS 2006

    
      

        Short
          Term Achievement Reward Program

        

        The
          Short
          Term Achievement Reward (“STAR”) Program is the Company’s annual incentive bonus
          program designed to support outstanding business results of The Procter
&
Gamble Company (the “Company” or “P&G”). Awards are made within the
          authority of the Additional Remuneration Plan and the 2001 Stock and Incentive
          Compensation Plan. 

        

        I.    ELIGIBILITY

        

        Eligibility
          is based on job level and the requirement of working at least four weeks
          during
          the fiscal year. STAR participants who do not work a full time schedule
          for the
          entire fiscal year may have awards pro-rated. Separating employees must
          be
          active as of June 30 (the close of the fiscal year for which the award
          is
          payable) to receive an award, unless due to retirement or special circumstances
          agreed in advance.

        

        II.    CALCULATION 

        

        The
          individual STAR Award Calculation is: (STAR Target) x (Business Unit Performance
          Factor) x (Corporate Adjustment Factor) x (Gillette Factor)

        

        	·  	
                The
                  STAR
                  Target for
                  each participant is calculated as: (Base Salary) x (STAR Target
                  percent)

              

        

        Base
          Salary
          as of
          the end of June is used to calculate the STAR award. If a participant’s level
          changes, the highest band level and salary during the fiscal year is used
          to
          determine the STAR Target. 

        

        The
          STAR
          Target Percent
          is
          dependent on job level in the organization and will fall between 6% and
          155%.

                The
                  Business
                  Unit Performance Factor
                  is
                  assigned to each STAR business unit as a measure of success for
                  the fiscal
                  year. The factors range from 53% to 167% with the target at 100%.
                  A STAR
                  Committee, comprised of a small number of senior executives (who
                  do not
                  determine their own awards), conducts a retrospective assessment
                  of the
                  performance of each business unit according to one or more of the
                  following measures and makes a recommendation to the Compensation
&
                  Leadership Development Committee: Operating
                  Total Shareholder Return, Key Competitor Comparison, After Tax
                  Profit,
                  Operating Cash Flow, Value Share, Volume, Net Outside Sales, Value
                  Contribution, Organization Head Self Assessment, and Cross Organization
                  Assessment. There may also be other
                  factors significantly affecting unit results.

              

         

        	·  	
                The
                  Corporate
                  Adjustment Factor
                  measures the total Company success and ranges from 80% to 130%,
                  with a
                  100% target. The same Corporate Adjustment Factor is applied to
                  all STAR
                  award calculations. It is determined by a matrix that measures
                  P&G’s
                  market total shareholder return (“TSR”) ranking relative to a competitive
                  peer group and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth. Market TSR
                  reflects the return shareholders could earn during the year - stock
                  appreciation and dividends - from an investment in the Company’s
                  stock.

                The
                  Gillette
                  Factor
                  is
                  derived from a review and recommendation by the STAR Committee
                  based on
                  the results of the success of the Gillette integration. The factor
                  ranges
                  from 80% to 130% with 100% as the target. The same Gillette Factor
                  will
                  apply to all STAR award calculations. It will be determined by
                  assessing
                  performance during the fiscal year on various metrics including:
                  sustaining the overall health of both the P&G and Gillette businesses
                  during this period (based on market share and earnings progress);
                  achieving sales, research and administrative budget and synergy
                  objectives; meeting enrollment targets; and staying within integration
                  cost and restructuring estimates. The Gillette Factor will be applied
                  starting with the results of fiscal year 2005/06. STAR awards for
                  fiscal
                  year 2004/05 will be based on only the Business Unit Performance
                  Factor
                  and the Corporate Adjustment Factor, as in prior years.
                  

              

        

        The
          STAR
          Committee makes recommendations to the Compensation & Leadership Development
          Committee regarding the actual awards to be made. The final awards are
          approved
          by the Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. STAR Awards for
          members of the Star Committee are determined exclusively by the Compensation
          & Leadership Development Committee 

        without
          any recommendation from the STAR Committee.

        

        

        III.    TIMING
          AND
          FORM 

        

        STAR
          awards are determined after the close of the fiscal year and are paid on
          or
          about September 15. The award form choices and relevant considerations
          are
          explained in payment preference materials generally in the form of Appendix
          1.
          Participants receive written notice of their award detailing the calculation,
          generally in the form of Appendix
          2.
          The
          grant letters are generally in the form of Appendix
          3.
          

        

        Generally,
          STAR awards are paid in cash. However, before the end of the calendar year
          preceding the award date, participants on record can choose their upcoming
          award
          in forms other than cash, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights
          or
          restricted stock units (for participants also in the Business Growth Program),
          depending on local regulations. To pay a STAR award in stock options, the
          Company compares current cash value to stock option value with a conversion
          factor that is reviewed annually. 

        
          
            
            

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

        Business
          Growth Program

         

        The
          Business Growth Program (“BGP”) is a part of the Company’s long-term incentive
          plan and is designed to provide additional focus on key Company measures
          for top
          executives with senior management responsibility for total Company results.
          Awards are made within the authority of the Additional Remuneration Plan
          and the
          2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. 

        

        I.    ELIGIBILITY

        

        The
          CEO,
          Vice-Chairs, Presidents, Global Function Heads, Senior Vice Presidents
          and
          equivalents may participate, as recommended by management and approved
          by the
          Compensation & Leadership Development Committee. 

        

        II.    CALCULATION

        

        A
          BGP
          Award may be payable for the three-year performance period running July
          1, 2005
          through June 30, 2008. Interim awards may also be payable at the conclusion
          of
          the first and second years of the program. The Compensation & Leadership
          Development Committee reviews and approves awards relative to the base
          period of
          fiscal year 2004/05. It assesses Company performance according to the
          pre-established financial measures of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) growth
          and operating total shareholder return (“OTSR”). 

        

        Adjustments
          may be made for significant acquisitions and divestitures, major equity
          investments, or other unusual items not reflected in the Company’s operating
          plan or base year results. In all cases, the Compensation & Leadership
          Development Committee retains discretion to determine whether certain items
          should be included or excluded from award calculations and to verify that
          awards
          are appropriate and consistent with the long-term interests of shareholders.
          The
          Committee may reduce awards if it determines that payouts do not correspond
          to
          actual business results.

        

        	·  	
                The
                  Three-Year Award is
                  calculated as: (Payout Factor) X (Participant's Target Award).
                  

              

        

        The
          Award
          Payout Factor
          ranging
          from 0% to 200% is assessed relative to a performance level of EPS growth
          and
          OTSR. 

        

        A
          Participant’s
          Target Award
          is based
          on a multiple of the executive’s base salary at the time of entry into the
          program. For the Chairman of the Board and CEO, the target is two times
          base
          salary, times three (the number of years in the performance period). For
          all
          others, the target is one times base salary times the number of years
          participating in the program. 

        

        	·  	
                Interim
                  Awards
                  are payable only if EPS growth and OTSR meets or exceeds target
                  relative
                  to the base period at the end of the first year and the first two
                  years
                  combined, respectively. Interim awards are calculated using the
                  same
                  factors as the three-year award. However, each interim award is
                  only a
                  partial progress payment, paid at 30% of the full three-year calculation.
                  Any interim payments are subtracted from the full three-year award
                  when
                  calculating the final BGP payment.

              

        

        III.    TIMING
          AND FORM

        

        BGP
          awards are delivered on or about September 15th
          for
          the
          fiscal year just completed. Each year’s award, if payable, will be delivered
          half in three-year restricted stock units (“Required RSUs”) and half in cash.
          Participants may elect to receive restricted stock units in place of the
          cash
          portion (“Elected RSUs”). The award form choices and relevant considerations are
          explained in payment preference materials generally in the form of Appendix
          1.
          Participants receive written notice of their award detailing the calculation,
          generally in the form of Appendix
          4.
          The
          grant letters are generally in the form of Appendix
          5.
          

        

        Program
          participants have their long-term incentives split between BGP and equity
          awards
          under the 2001 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. Their key manager
          awards
          under the latter plan are reduced in value by one-third of their three-year
          BGP
          target.

        Fellow
          P&G Leaders:

        

        I
          am
          pleased to announce the average STAR award for [YEAR] is [NUMBER] % of
          target.
          STAR awards are a combination of your individual business unit awards,
          the
          Company factor and the Gillette factor. Unit awards are decided by the
          STAR
          Committee based on a retrospective assessment of each unit’s performance. The
          Company factor is calculated based on P&G’s market TSR ranking in the peer
          group and earnings per share. The Gillette factor is based on a review
          done by
          the STAR Committee considering the results of the success of the Gillette
          integration. [EXPLANATION OF COMPANY RESULTS and COMPARISON TO PREVIOUS
          YEAR]

        

        Actual
          STAR awards as a percentage of target [HISTORICAL COMPARISON OF RESULTS
          TO
          PREVIOUS YEAR(S)]

        

        By
          remaining choiceful, focused, and disciplined, we can look forward to future
          success. Well done! Thanks.

        The
          attached stock option grant letter refers to your STAR award. The grant
          was
          determined by dividing the gross award amount to be paid in stock options
          (shown
          on your award summary previously distributed) by the [DATE] average stock
          price
          of $ [NUMBER]. The result was rounded up to the next full share, with those
          full
          shares multiplied by [NUMBER]. No further action to accept this grant is
          required.

        

        You
          may
          retain these STAR stock options until their expiration date in [NUMBER]
          years
          even if you leave the Company, as long as you are in good standing. This
          is true
          for STAR stock options only as they represent payment for the award that
          you
          have already earned. These options will vest in [NUMBER] years.

        

        Stock
          options are granted under the terms and conditions of the 2001 Procter
&
Gamble Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. The updated plan prospectus

          about the award granted, please direct them to [NAME]. Questions related

              such minimum amount shall not apply with respect to any Revolving Credit
              Advances made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(a)(ii) or
              Section 2.07(c). Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, each

              Section 2.10 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

              (ii) 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the
              date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving

              in Euros,
              or (iii) 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day of the
              date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing in the case of a Revolving
              Credit Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by any Borrower
              to the Agent
              (and, in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency
              Rate Advances denominated in Euros, simultaneously to the Sub-Agent),
              which
              shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or Email.
              Each
              such notice of a Revolving Credit Borrowing (a “Notice
              of Revolving Credit Borrowing”)
              shall
              be by Email, confirmed promptly by telephone, shall be in substantially
              the form
              of Exhibit A-1
              hereto,
              specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Revolving Credit
              Borrowing, (B) Type and Optional Currency of Revolving Credit Advances
              comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (C) aggregate amount of such
              Revolving Credit Borrowing, (D) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing
              consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period
              for each
              such Revolving Credit Advance, (E) the account to which the proceeds of the
              requested Revolving Credit Borrowing are to be transferred and (F) whether
              the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing will be used for the
              purpose of
              purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation
              U issued
              by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). Each Lender
              shall,
              before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Revolving
              Credit
              Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
              Office to
              the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable
              portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such
              funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
              Article
              III, the Agent will make such funds available to the appropriate Borrower
              by
              transferring the amount thereof to the account designated by such Borrower
              for
              such purpose.

             

            (b)  Anything
              in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower may
              select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing
              if the
              obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall
              then be
              suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12.

             

            (c)  Each
              Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding
              on the
              Borrower giving such notice. In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing
              which
              the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be
              composed of
              Eurocurrency Rate Advances, such Borrower shall indemnify each Lender
              against
              any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any
              failure to
              fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving
              Credit
              Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions
              set
              forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding
              loss of
              anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation
              or
              reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to
              fund the
              Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such
              Revolving
              Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of
              such
              failure, is not made on such date.

             

            (d)  Unless
              the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall have received
              notice from
              a Lender prior to the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such
              Lender
              will not make available to the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case
              may be, such
              Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent or the
              Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may assume that such Lender has made
              such portion
              available to the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, on the
              date of such
              Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this
              Section 2.02 and the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may, in
              reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower requesting
              such
              Revolving Credit Borrowing on such date a corresponding amount. If
              and to the
              extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion
              available to
              the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, such Lender and such
              Borrower
              severally agree to repay to the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case
              may be,
              forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest
              thereon,
              for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower
              until
              the date such amount is repaid to the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the
              case may
              be, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at
              the time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit
              Borrowing
              and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender
              shall repay to the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, such
              corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s
              Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing
              for purposes
              of this Agreement.

             

            (e)  The
              failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made
              by it as
              part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other
              Lender of its
              obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance
              on the date
              of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible
              for the
              failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to
              be made by
              such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

             

            (f) 
              Any
              Revolving Credit Advance made by any Applicable Lending Office of any
              Lender
              shall be deemed to be an Advance of such Lender for purposes of calculating
              the
              utilization of the Commitment of such Lender hereunder, except that
              if such
              Applicable Lending Office of such Lender is another Lender, such Revolving
              Credit Advance shall be deemed to be an Advance of such other Lender
              for
              purposes of calculating the utilization of the Commitments of both
              such Lenders
              hereunder.

             

                SECTION
              2.03    Competitive
              Bid Facility.

             

             (a)  Each
              Lender severally agrees that any Borrower may make Competitive Bid
              Borrowings

              to the then
              scheduled Termination Date in the manner set forth below; provided
              that,
              the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances comprising
              each
              Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not exceed the aggregate Unused Commitments
              of
              the Lenders at such time.

             

            (i)  Any

              hereto,
              specifying therein (A) the requested date of such proposed Competitive Bid
              Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the requested aggregate
              amount and Optional Currency of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing,
              (C) whether such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing shall consist of Fixed

              not the Competitive Bid Advances comprising such proposed Competitive
              Bid
              Borrowing may be prepaid and, if so, whether with or without penalty,
              (G) the address and account number of such Borrower to which the proceeds
              of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing are to be advanced, (H) whether

              U issued

              (II) 9:00 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days preceding the

              Each
              Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding
              on the
              Borrower that requested such Competitive Bid Borrowing. The Agent or
              the
              Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall in turn promptly notify each Lender
              of each
              request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from any Borrower
              by
              sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid
              Borrowing.

             

            (ii)  Each
              Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to irrevocably offer to make
              one or
              more Competitive Bid Advances to the Borrower requesting the Competitive
              Bid
              Advances as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate
              or rates
              of interest specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, by notifying
              the
              Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be (which shall give prompt
              notice
              thereof to the Borrower requesting the Competitive Bid Borrowing),
              before
              12:00 P.M. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to the date of such
              proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid
              Borrowing
              consisting of Fixed Rate Advances, and (B) before 1:00 P.M. (New York
              City time) two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive

              Rate Advances, of the minimum amount and maximum amount of each Competitive
              Bid
              Advance that such Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed
              Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts, subject to the proviso
              of the
              first sentence of this Section 2.03(a), may exceed such Lender’s
              Commitment, if any), the rate or rates of interest therefor and such
              Lender’s
              Applicable Lending Office with respect to such Competitive Bid Advance;
              provided
              that if
              the Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall, in its sole discretion,
              elect to
              make any such offer, it shall notify the Borrower requesting such Competitive
              Bid Borrowing of such offer at least 30 minutes before the time and
              on the date
              on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent or to
              the
              Sub-Agent, as the case may be, by the other Lenders. If any Lender
              shall elect
              not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Agent, before
              10:00 A.M. (New York City time) or the Sub-Agent before 12:00 noon (London
              time), as the case may be, on the date on which notice of such election
              is to be
              given to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, by the
              other
              Lenders, and such Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not,
              make any
              Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing;
              provided
              that the
              failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender
              to be
              obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed
              Competitive Bid Borrowing.

             

            (iii)  The
              Borrower requesting any particular Competitive Bid Borrowing shall,
              in turn,
              before (A) 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) one Business Day prior to
              the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of
              a
              Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances, and
              (B) 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) two Business Days prior to the date
              of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive
              Bid
              Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, either:

             

            (A)  cancel
              such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect;
              or

             

            (B)  accept
              one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to
              Section 2.03(a)(ii), in its sole discretion but subject to the next two

              be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less
              than the
              maximum amount, notified to such Borrower by the Agent or the Sub-Agent,
              as the

              to Section 2.03(a)(ii)) to be made by each Lender as part of such
              Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by
              Lenders

              If two or
              more Lenders have offered the same interest rate for a particular Competitive
              Bid Borrowing, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate will
              be allocated

              offered
              at such interest rate.

              Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that such Competitive Bid
              Borrowing
              is cancelled pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii)(A), the Agent or the
              Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice thereof to
              each of the
              Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

             

            (v)  If

              by such
              Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) have been accepted by such Borrower

              Borrower that requested any applicable Competitive Bid Borrowing notifies
              the
              Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that it accepts one or
              more of the

              date.

              Rate Advances.
              During
              such periods as such Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate
              Advance, a
              rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such
              Advance
              to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period for such
              Advance plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time plus
              (z) the Utilization Fee, if any, in effect from time to time, payable in
              arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to such Eurocurrency
              Rate
              Advance.

             

            (b)  Default

              Each
              Borrower shall pay interest on:

             

            (i)  any
              portion of the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance
              made to
              it that is owing to each Lender that is not paid when due, from the
              date such
              amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable
              in arrears
              on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate
              per annum
              equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required
              to be paid
              on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii)
              above, as the case may be; 

             

            (ii)  any
              portion of the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance
              made to
              such Borrower and owing to any Lender, payable in arrears on the date
              or dates
              interest is payable on such Competitive Bid Advance, at a rate per
              annum equal
              at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be
              paid on
              such Competitive Bid Advance in the offer made by such Lender pursuant
              to
              Section 2.03(a)(ii) and accepted by such Borrower under
              Section 2.03(a)(v), and

             

            (iii)  to
              the
              fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or
              other amount
              payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount
              shall be
              due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on
              the date such
              amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal
              at all
              times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid

              Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

             

            (c)  Capitalization
              of Interest.
              Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
              unless the
              appropriate Borrower has notified the Agent in writing on or before
              9:00 A.M.
              (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding any
              Interest
              Payment Date or date of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i), that
              it will pay, in cash, the interest applicable to any Revolving Credit
              Advance,
              including any applicable Utilization Fee, that is due and payable by
              it on such
              Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.07(a) or on such
              prepayment date in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(i), as applicable, the
              Lenders will be deemed to have made Revolving Credit Advances on such
              Interest
              Payment Date or prepayment date, as applicable, in an amount equal
              to the
              aggregate amount of interest, including any applicable Utilization
              Fee, that
              would otherwise be due and payable on such date, which Revolving Credit
              Advance
              shall, unless such Borrower has otherwise notified the Agent in writing
              on or
              before such Business Day, (i) be of the same Type and Optional Currency
              as the
              Advance (the “Reference
              Advance”)
              in
              respect of which such interest (including any applicable Utilization
              Fee) shall
              have accrued (in each case after giving effect to any Conversion of
              the
              Reference Advance on such Interest Payment Date), and (ii) if such
              Revolving Credit Advance is a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, have an initial
              Interest Period of the same duration as the Interest Period commencing
              on such
              Interest Payment Date with respect to the Reference Advance. Each Revolving
              Credit Advance made pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) shall be deemed
              (A) to have been made pursuant to the Commitments and shall be subject
              to
              the limitation that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
              Advances
              may at no time exceed the Commitments then in effect, and (B) to have been
              used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
              the meaning
              of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
              System)
              if the related Reference Advance was used for the purpose of purchasing
              or
              carrying margin stock.

              Rate Determination.

             

             (a)  
              Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Agent timely information
              for the
              purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate. If any one or more of
              the
              Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent
              for the
              purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine
              such
              interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining
              Reference Banks. The Agent shall give prompt notice to each of the
              Borrowers and
              the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent
              for purposes
              of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each
              Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under
              Section 2.07(a)(ii).

             

            (b)  If,
              with
              respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Required Lenders in
              good faith
              notify the Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period
              for such
              Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders
              of
              making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances
              for
              such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify each of the
              Borrowers
              and the Lenders, whereupon (i)(A) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance
              denominated in Dollars will automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances,
              and
              (B) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance denominated in Euros will automatically
              be exchanged for an Equivalent of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate
              Advances,
              and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances
              into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent
              shall notify
              each of the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing
              such
              suspension no longer exist.

             

            (c)  If
              any
              Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for
              any
              Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained
              in the
              definition of “Interest
              Period”
in
              Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify each of the Borrowers and
              the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of
              the then
              existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Eurocurrency Rate Advances
              denominated in the same Optional Currency and having an Interest Period
              of one
              week.

             

            (d)  On
              the
              date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency
              Rate
              Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment
              or
              otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, in respect of Advances denominated
              in
              Dollars, or (euro)10,000,000, in respect of Advances denominated in
              Euros, such
              Advances shall automatically (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are
              denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such
              Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Euros, be exchanged for
              an
              Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.

             

            (e)  Upon
              the
              occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each
              Eurocurrency Rate Advance will, upon the written request of the Agent
              (at the
              request of the Required Lenders), on the last day of the then existing
              Interest
              Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in
              Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency
              Rate Advance is denominated in Euros, be exchanged for an Equivalent
              amount of
              Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation
              of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate
              Advances
              shall be suspended.

             

            (f)  If
              either, with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars,
              the
              Moneyline Telerate Markets Page 3750, or, with respect to Eurocurrency Rate
              Advances denominated in Euros, the Page 248 of the Moneyline Telerate
              Service, is unavailable and, in each such case, fewer than two Reference
              Banks
              furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the applicable
              Eurocurrency Rate,

             

            (i)  the
              Agent
              shall forthwith notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders that
              the interest
              rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances,

             

            (ii)  each
              such
              Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest
              Period
              therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars,
              Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance
              is denominated in Euros, be prepaid by the applicable Borrower or be
              automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be
              Converted
              into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance,
              will
              continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

             

            (iii)  the
              obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to
              Convert
              Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
              Agent
              shall notify each of the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances
              causing such suspension no longer exist.

              outstanding

              more of the Borrowers (as determined by the Initial Borrower) shall,
              as soon as

              principal amount of any Advances owing by such Borrowers in an aggregate
              amount
              sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the

              accrued to

              the time of
              such required prepayment is less than the amount of such required prepayment,
              the portion of such required prepayment in excess of the aggregate
              principal
              amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding shall be deferred until
              the

              Eurocurrency Rate Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the excess
              of such
              required prepayment. The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment
              required under this Section 2.10(b)(i) to each of the Borrowers and the
              Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to each of the Borrowers of
              any such
              notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender.

             

            (ii)  On
              each
              Business Day, each of the Borrowers shall repay the outstanding Advances
              by an
              amount equal to the excess of the outstanding principal amount of the
              Advances
              over the aggregate Commitments after giving effect to any reduction
              of the
              Commitments pursuant to Section 2.05 on the immediately preceding Business
              Day.

             

            (iii)  Each
              Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Advances
              comprising
              part of the same Borrowing in an amount equal to 75% of the amount
              of net cash
              proceeds received by such Borrower from each issuance in the U.S. or
              European
              capital markets of publicly traded bonds, debentures, or similar debt
              securities

              2.11    Increased
              Costs.

             

             (a) 
              If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the
              interpretation of any law or regulation enacted or issued after the
              date of this
              Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any
              central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
              the force of
              law) issued after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any material
              increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding
              or
              maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances (excluding for purposes of this
              Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes (as to
              which Section 2.14 shall govern) and (ii) changes in the basis of
              taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United
              States or
              by the foreign jurisdiction, state or any political subdivision thereof
              under
              the laws of which such Lender has any present or former connection,
              then the
              applicable Borrower shall from time to time, within 30 days of written
              demand by
              such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent
              for the
              account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate
              such Lender
              for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased
              cost
              in reasonable detail and stating the basis upon which such amount has
              been
              calculated and certifying that such Lender’s method of allocating such costs is
              fair and reasonable and that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs
              hereunder is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers
              which, as a
              credit matter, are similarly situated to such Borrower and which are
              subject to
              similar provisions, submitted to such Borrower and the Agent by such
              Lender,
              shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error in the
              calculation of such amount.

             

            (b)  If
              any
              Lender reasonably determines that compliance with any law or regulation
              enacted
              or issued after the date of this Agreement, or any guideline or request
              from any
              central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
              the force of
              law) issued after the date of this Agreement, affects or would affect
              the amount
              of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or
              any
              corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital
              is
              materially increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment
              to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, within
              30 days of
              written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent),
              the
              applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such
              Lender, from
              time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient
              to
              compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances,
              to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase
              in capital to
              be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A
              certificate as to the amount of such increased cost in reasonable detail
              and
              stating the basis upon which such amount has been calculated and certifying
              that
              such Lender’s method of allocating such costs is fair and reasonable and that
              such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder is not inconsistent
              with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are
              similarly
              situated to such Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions,
              submitted
              to such Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive
              and binding
              for all purposes, absent error in the calculation of such amount.

             

            (c)  Before
              making any demand under this Section 2.11, each Lender agrees to use
              reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
              regulatory
              restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
              the making
              of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount
              of, such
              increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
              be
              otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

             

            (d)  If
              any
              Lender shall subsequently recoup any costs (other than from a Borrower)
              for
              which such Lender has theretofore been compensated by a Borrower under
              this
              Section 2.11, such Lender shall remit to such Borrower an amount equal to
              the amount of such recoupment.

                    Notwithstanding
              any
              other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent
              that the
              introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law
              or
              regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental
              authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency
              Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency
              Rate
              Advances in Dollars or Euros or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate
              Advances
              in Dollars or Euros hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance, as the
              case may be, will automatically, upon such demand, (i) if such Eurocurrency
              Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance
              and
              (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Euros, be
              exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into a Base
              Rate
              Advance, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate
              Advances or to Convert Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall
              be
              suspended until the Agent shall notify each of the Borrowers and the
              Lenders
              that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided,
              however,
              that
              before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable
              efforts
              (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions)
              to
              designate a different Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of
              such a
              designation would allow such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office
              to
              continue to perform its obligations to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances
              or to
              continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances and would not,
              in the
              judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
              Lender.

              2.13    Payments
              and Computations.

             

             (a) 
              Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes,
              if any,
              with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating
              to,
              Advances denominated in Dollars, irrespective of any right of counterclaim
              or
              set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day
              when due in
              Dollars to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account
              in same day funds. Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder
              and under the
              Notes, if any, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off,
              with
              respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to,
              Advances
              denominated in Euros, not later than 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the day
              when due in Euros to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable
              Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause
              to
              be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest
              or
              facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03,
              2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective
              Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment
              of any other
              amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its
              Applicable
              Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
              of this
              Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and
              recording of
              the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to
              Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such
              Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder
              and under
              the Notes, if any, in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the
              Lender
              assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance
              shall
              make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior
              to such
              effective date directly between themselves.

             

            (b)  All
              computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the
              Agent on
              the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all
              computations
              of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate
              and of
              facility fees shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case
              may be,
              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 facility fees are payable. Each determination
              by the
              Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding
              for all
              purposes, absent manifest error.

             

            (c)  Whenever
              any payment hereunder or under the Notes, if any, shall be stated to
              be due on a
              day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next
              succeeding
              Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included
              in the
              computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may
              be;
provided,
              however,
              that,
              if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of
              Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar
              month, such
              payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

             

            (d)  Unless
              the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall have received
              notice from
              the appropriate Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
              due to the
              Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in
              full, the
              Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may assume that such Borrower
              has
              made such payment in full to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the
              case may be,
              on such date, and the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, may,
              in
              reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender
              on such
              due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and
              to the
              extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to
              the Agent or
              to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, each Lender shall repay to the
              Agent or to
              the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, forthwith on demand such amount
              distributed
              to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the
              date such
              amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays
              such
              amount to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, at (i) the
              Federal Funds Rate, in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars,
              or
              (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Sub-Agent, in respect of such amount
              in the case of Advances denominated in Euros.

             

                SECTION
              2.14    Taxes.

             

                    (a)  Each
              Borrower shall only be required to pay or reimburse any Lender or the
              Agent for
              present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings
              arising from or in connection with any payments made by any Borrower
              under this
              Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any liabilities with
              respect to
              the foregoing (collectively, “Taxes”),
              other
              than Excluded Taxes. If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
              any
              Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any
              of the other
              Loan Documents to any Lender or the Agent, (i) such Borrower shall make
              such deductions in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Borrower shall pay the full
              amount deducted in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority
              or other
              governmental or regulatory authority in accordance with applicable
              law, and
              (iii) to the extent, there is an increase in any Taxes (other than Excluded
              Taxes) imposed on such Lender or the Agent as a result of this Agreement
              or any
              of the other Loan Documents (such increased amount being the “Non-Excluded
              Taxes”
of
              such
              Lender or the Agent), the sum payable by such Borrower shall be increased
              as may
              be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Non-Excluded
              Taxes
              such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
              to the
              sum it would have received had no such deductions been made in respect
              of
              Non-Excluded Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of
              Non-Excluded
              Taxes by any Borrower, such Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at
              its address
              referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing
              such payment. For purposes of this section 2.14, the term “Change in Law” shall
              mean the adoption of any law, rule, regulation, court decision or precedential
              administrative guidance after the date of this Agreement. 

             

                    (b)  Each
              of
              the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for, and hold
              each of
              them harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes paid by
              such Lender
              or the Agent, as the case may be. This indemnification shall be made
              within 90
              days from the date on which such Lender or the Agent, as the case may
              be, makes
              written demand therefor and provides adequate documentary evidence

              thereof.

             

                    (c)  Each
              Lender and the Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any
              requesting
              Borrower required to withhold under section 1441 or 1442 or comply

              Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the regulations thereunder, the
              following
              properly completed and duly executed documents: 

             

            (i)  if

              (B) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms
              thereto);

             

            (iii)  if
              such
              Lender or the Agent is organized under the laws of the United States,

              owner were a
              Lender;

             

            (iv)  if
              such

            (v)  if
              such

              (including all required documents and attachments) and (2) a Section 2.14
              Certificate, and, without duplication, with respect to each of its
              beneficial
              owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking
              through
              chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations
              for
              U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial
              owners”),
              the
              documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv),

              beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were Lender, provided,
              however,
              that no
              such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner
              to the extent
              the actual Lender or the Agent is determined to be in compliance with
              the
              requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as
              may be

              of this
              clause (v) of Section 2.14(c) are otherwise determined to be
              unnecessary (all such determinations under this clause (v) of
              Section 2.14(c) to be made in the sole discretion of the Initial Borrower);
              or

             

            (vi)  
              (A) if
              such Lender or the Agent is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax
              purposes,
              such Person shall deliver the document that would be required by this
              clause (vi), or by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) of Section
              2.14(c) with respect to its sole owner if such sole owner were such
              Lender or
              the Agent, or (B) if such Lender or the Agent is not a United States
              person and
              is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury
              Regulations), (1) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service
              Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required
              documents
              and attachments), and (2) if such intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary”
(as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose
              behalf
              the "non-qualified intermediary" is acting, the documents that would be required
              by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or this clause (vi) of
              Section 2.14(c) with respect to each such Person if each such Person were
              Lender.

             

            In
              addition, each Lender or the Agent, shall provide any requesting Borrower
              with
              such other forms, certificates and documentation that such Lender or
              the Agent
              is legally entitled to furnish as may be necessary or appropriate to
              obtain any
              reduction of or exemption from any withholding or other Tax imposed
              by any
              governmental authority on payments made by such Borrower under any
              Loan
              Document.

             

            Each
              Lender and the Agent shall provide the appropriate forms, certificates
              and other
              documentation described in this Section 2.14(c) (x) prior to becoming a
              party to this Agreement; (y) upon a Change in Law or circumstances
              requiring or making appropriate a new or additional form, certificate
              or
              documentation; and (z) whenever reasonably requested by any of the
              Borrowers or the Agent. If the forms referred to above in this
              Section 2.14(c) that are provided by a Lender at the time such Lender
              becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a withholding tax rate in
              excess of
              zero on payments under this Agreement to be received by such Lender
              from a
              Borrower organized in a Covered Jurisdiction, such withholding tax
              at such rate
              shall be treated as Excluded Taxes unless and until such Lender provides
              all
              such forms, duly completed and delivered, establishing that a lesser
              rate
              applies, whereupon such withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be
              considered
              Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If the
              forms
              referred to above in this Section 2.14(c) that are provided by a Lender
              at the
              time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a withholding
              tax
              rate in excess of zero on payments under this Agreement to be received
              by such
              Lender from a Borrower that is not organized in a Covered Jurisdiction,
              such
              withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes
              solely for
              the periods governed by such form. If,
              however, on the date a Lender assigns all or a portion of its commitments
              under
              this Agreement to an Affiliate thereof, such Lender assignor was entitled
              to
              additional amounts under Section 2.14(a), then the
              related
              Lender assignee shall be entitled to additional amounts solely to the
              extent
              that amounts payable to such Lender assignee are themselves subject
              to a
              withholding tax imposed as a direct result of a Change in Law occurring
              after
              the date on which the Lender assignor became a party to this Agreement.
              Any
              additional Taxes imposed on any Lender as a direct result of a change
              in the
              Applicable Lending Office of such Lender shall be treated as Excluded
              Taxes
              except to the extent that (I) any such additional Non-Excluded Taxes are
              imposed as a result of a Change in Law occurring after the date of
              change of its
              Applicable Lending Office, or (II) such change is made at the request of
              the Initial Borrower in which case the additional Non-Excluded Taxes
              shall be
              treated as Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by reason of a Change in Law
              and
              indemnified pursuant to subsection (a) above. 

             

                    (d)  For
              any
              period with respect to which any Lender or the Agent has failed to
              provide the
              Initial Borrower with the duly completed forms, certificates or other
              documents
              described in Section 2.14(c) or any successor thereto (other than if such
              failure is due to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, not
              being
              legally entitled to provide any such form, certificate or other document
              or if
              it is legally inadvisable for such Lender or the Agent, as the case
              may be, to
              deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Lender or the
              Agent
              shall not be entitled to the payment of any additional amounts pursuant
              to
              Section 2.14(a) or to indemnification under Section 2.14(b) with
              respect to Non-Excluded Taxes by reason of such failure, and such Taxes
              shall be
              considered Excluded Taxes; provided,
              however,
              that
              should any Lender or the Agent become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes
              because of
              its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the appropriate Borrower
              shall, at the Agent’s or such Lender’s sole expense, take such steps (consistent
              with legal and regulatory restrictions) as such Lender or the Agent
              shall
              reasonably request to assist such Person in recovering such Non-Excluded
              Taxes
              from the proper governmental or regulatory authority. However, none
              of the
              Borrowers will be required to take any action that would be inadvisable
              or
              overly burdensome.

             

                    (e)  Each
              Lender and the Agent hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
              circumstances entitling such Person to any additional amounts under
              Section 2.14(a) or to indemnification under Section 2.14(b), such
              Lender or the Agent shall use its best efforts (consistent with its
              internal
              policy and legal and regulatory restrictions), at its own expense,
              to designate
              a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change
              would avoid
              the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts
              or
              indemnification that may thereafter accrue.

             

                    (f)  If
              any
              Lender or the Agent entitled to additional compensation under any of
              the
              foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 shall fail to designate a
              different Applicable Lending Office that avoids the need for additional
              compensation as provided in Section 2.14, then the Initial Borrower may
              cause such Lender or the Agent to (and, if the Initial Borrower so
              demands, such
              Lender or the Agent shall) assign all of its rights and obligations
              under this
              Agreement to one or more other Persons identified by any Borrower in
              accordance
              with the terms of Section 8.07(a).

             

                    (g)  If
              any
              Lender or the Agent determines that it has received a refund of or
              credit
              against any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower
              or with
              respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant
              to this
Section 2.14,
              it
              shall pay over such refund or credit to Borrower (but only to the extent
              of
              amounts paid by such Borrower under this Section
              2.14),
              net of
              all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Agent and without
              interest
              (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental or regulatory
              authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided,
              however,
              that
              such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Agent, agrees
              to repay the
              amount paid over to such Borrower to such Lender or the Agent in the
              event such
              Lender or the Agent is required to repay such refund to such governmental
              authority or such credit is subsequently denied. Nothing in this Section
              2.14(g)
              shall be deemed to require the Agent or any Lender to provide copies
              of tax
              returns or other confidential tax information.

             

                    (i)  Each
              Lender and the Agent shall take all actions reasonably requested by
              any Borrower
              to assist such Borrower, at the sole expense of such Borrower, to recover
              from
              the relevant taxation authority or other governmental authority any
              Taxes in
              respect of which amounts were paid by such Borrower pursuant to
              Section 2.14(a) or Section 2.14(b).

             

                SECTION
              2.15    Sharing
              of Payments, Etc.  If
              any
              Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
              the
              exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving
              Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or
              8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the
              Revolving
              Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith
              purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving
              Credit
              Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
              Lender to
              share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
              however,
              that if
              all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from
              such
              purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded
              and such
              Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the
              extent of
              such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share
              (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required
              repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender)
              of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender
              in
              respect of the total amount so recovered. Each of the Borrowers agrees
              that any
              Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to
              this
              Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its
              rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to
              such
              participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of
              such
              Borrower in the amount of such participation.

             

                SECTION
              2.16    Use
              of
              Proceeds. 
              The
              proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and each Borrower agrees

              principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.

The
              Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d) shall include
              a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which
              accounts
              (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each
              Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing

              Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount
              of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable
              from
              each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iv) the amount of any sum received
              by the Agent from such Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof, and
              (v) whether the proceeds of each Borrowing has be used for the purpose
              of
              purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation
              U issued

              made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b)
              above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to
              subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of
              principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable
              from each
              Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case
              of such

              error;
provided,

              that an
              entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall

              thereof is no
              longer desirable in the conduct of its business, and that the loss
              thereof is
              not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Loan Parties and

              Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Lenders, and (iv) each of the

              not
              otherwise permitted hereunder encumbering assets not exceeding 20%

              the meaning of Section 211.3(f) of Regulation U issued by the Board
              of Governors
              of the Federal Reserve System) assets from coverage by this Section
              5.02(a)
              that, solely as a consequence of such withdrawal (and not due to any
              fluctuations in the value of the assets themselves) would cause the
              value of the
              assets subject to this Section 5.02(a) to be less than the aggregate
              principal
              amount of the Advances that were used for the purpose of purchasing
              or carrying
              margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board
              of

              entirety to, or permit any Guarantor, if any, to consolidate or merge
              with or
              into, or transfer, sell or lease its assets as an entirety to, any
              Person,
              unless the Person (if other than a Borrower or a Subsidiary of the
              Company)
              formed by such consolidation or into which such Borrower, or such Guarantor
              is
              merged or which acquires or leases the assets of such Borrower or such
              Guarantor
              substantially as an entirety assumes such Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s
              obligations under the Loan Documents (and, upon such assumption, such
              Person
              shall be a Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, for all purposes of
              the Loan
              Documents), or another Borrower assumes such Borrower’s obligations, or another
              Guarantor assumes such Guarantor’s obligations, under the Loan Documents;
provided,
              that
              after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default
              shall
              have occurred and be continuing, and such consolidation, merger, transfer,
              sale
              or lease of assets is not prohibited under the indentures pursuant
              to which any
              publicly held debt of such Borrower or such Guarantor was issued.

              7.05  Indemnification. 
              The
              Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
              by the
              Borrowers), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of
              the
              Advances then owing to each of them (or if no Advances are at the time
              outstanding or if any Advances are then owing to Persons that are not
              Lenders,
              ratably according to the respective amounts of their Commitments),
              from and
              against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
              actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
              kind or
              nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
              against the
              Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
              of the
              other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder
              or
              thereunder (collectively, the “Indemnified
              Costs”),
              provided
              that no
              Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting
              from
              the Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
              foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon
              demand for
              its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel
              fees)
              incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,
              delivery,
              administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
              negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
              respect of
              rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that
              the Agent
              is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of
              any
              investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified
              Costs,
              this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
              proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

             

            SECTION
              7.06  Successor
              Agent. 
              The
              Agent
              may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders
              and each
              of the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause
              by the
              Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
              Lenders
              shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the
              Initial
              Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the
              Required
              Lenders and approved by the Initial Borrower, and shall have accepted
              such
              appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of
              resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the
              retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent,
              which
              shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States
              of
              America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus
              of at
              least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
              hereunder by
              a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
              and become
              vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties
              of the
              retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
              duties and
              obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After
              any
              retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
              this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
              or omitted
              to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other
              Loan
              Documents.

              7.07  Sub-Agent. 
              The
              Sub-Agent has been designated under this Agreement to carry out the
              duties of
              the Agent. The Sub-Agent shall be subject to each of the obligations
              in this
              Agreement to be performed by the Sub-Agent, and each of the Borrowers
              and the
              Lenders agrees that the Sub-Agent shall be entitled to exercise each
              of the
              rights and shall be entitled to each of the benefits of the Agent under
              this
              Agreement as such rights and benefits relate to the performance of
              its
              obligations hereunder.

              7.08  Other
              Agents.

              Lender hereby acknowledges that no syndication agent and no documentation
              agent
              nor any other Lender designated as any “agent”
(other
              than the Agent) on the signature pages or the cover hereof has any
              liability

              each of the

              shall be
              effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
              for which
              given; provided,

              Affiliate of
              any Borrower), do any of the following: (a) waive any of the conditions
              specified in Section 3.01, (b) increase the Commitments of the Lenders

              payable hereunder pursuant to Section  2.04, 2.06 or 2.07, (e) change
              the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal
              amount of
              the Revolving Credit Advances, or the number of Lenders, that shall

              Each of the Borrowers agrees that the Agent may make such materials,
              as well as
              any other written information, documents, instruments and other material

              substantially similar electronic system reasonably approved by the

              Although the primary web portal is secured with a dual firewall and

              ID/Password Authorization System and the Platform is secured through

              associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is”
and “as available” and (iii) neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates

              Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

             

            (c)  Each
              Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence)
              (a
“Notice”)
              specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform
              shall
              constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other
              materials
              to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (i) to
              notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s Email address to which a Notice may
              be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication)
              on or
              before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and
              from time to
              time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective
              Email
              address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such Email
              address.

              Period
              for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under
              this
              Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by a Borrower
              pursuant to Section 8.07(a), each of the Borrowers shall, upon demand by
              such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent
              for the
              account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender
              for any
              additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as
              a result of
              such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss
              (excluding
              loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of
              the
              liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
              any Lender to
              fund or maintain such Advance.

              agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.11,
              2.14 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest
              and all
              other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

              8.05  Right
              of Set-off. 
              Upon
              (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and
              (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified
              by
              Section 6.02 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable
              pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02, each Lender and each of its
              Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
              to the
              fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
              (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
              held and
              other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate
              to or for
              the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the
              obligations
              of any Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether
              or not
              such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although
              such
              obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
              each of the
              Borrowers after any such set-off and application, provided
              that the
              failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off

              Section are

              other
              rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

              Effect. 
              This
              Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed and
              delivered
              by the Initial Borrower and the Agent and when the Agent shall have
              been
              notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed
              it and

              the
              Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns,
              except that
              (other than in accordance with Section 5.02(b) or Section 8.10) no
              Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any
              interest
              herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

              8.07  Assignments
              and Participations.

             

             (a) Without
              the written consent of the Initial Borrower (which consent may be withheld
              in
              its sole and absolute discretion) and of the Agent (which consent shall
              not be
              unreasonably withheld), no Lender may assign all or any portion of
              its rights
              and obligations under this Agreement to any Person, except to an Affiliate
              of
              such Lender, as provided in Section 2.11, 2.14 or  2.18, or as set
              forth in Section 8.07(g) or to another Lender that is an Affiliate of such
              Lender. If any Lender (i) requests any payment to under Section 2.11
              or Section 2.14 or (ii) gives notice to any Borrower pursuant to
              Section 2.12, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
              and is continuing at such time, any Borrower may demand upon at least
              three
              Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent that such Lender, and, upon
              such demand, such Lender shall, assign all of its rights and obligations
              under
              this Agreement to any Person designated by such Borrower. Each assignment
              pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.07(a) (A) shall be of a
              constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations
              under this
              Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment demanded by a Borrower,
              shall be
              either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning
              Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights
              and
              obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other
              such
              assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of
              the
              assigning Lender under this Agreement), except that any such assignment
              of a
              Commitment by a Lender to another Lender that is an Affiliate of such
              Lender
              need not be accompanied by an assignment of the same percentage of
              any of the
              assigning Lender’s Advances and any such assignment of one or more Advances by a
              Lender to another Lender that is an Affiliate of such Lender need not
              be
              accompanied by an assignment of the same percentage the assigning Lender’s
              Commitment or any of the assigning Lenders other Advances, (B) except in
              the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such
              assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and
              obligations under this Agreement, shall in no event be less than $10,000,000,
              and (C) shall be evidenced by evidenced by an Assignment and Acceptance
              executed by each of the parties thereto and delivered to the Agent,
              for its
              acceptance and recording in the Register. No Lender shall be obligated
              to make
              any such assignment as a result of a demand by a Borrower pursuant
              to this
              Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or
              more payments from either each of the Borrowers or one or more assignees
              therefrom in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding
              principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with
              accrued
              interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and
              all other
              amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement. Upon such execution,
              delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
              specified
              in each Assignment and Acceptance, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a
              party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
              have been
              assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the
              rights and
              obligations of a Lender hereunder and (2) the Lender assignor thereunder
              shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
              assigned by
              it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights
              and be
              released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case
              of an
              Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of
              an assigning
              Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease
              to
              be a party hereto).

             

            (b)  By
              executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor
              thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each
              other and
              the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such
              Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation
              or
              warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
              warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement
              or
              any of the other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity,
              enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or perfection
              or priority
              of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created
              under or in
              connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
              or any other
              instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such
              assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no
              responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower
              or the
              performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations
              under this
              Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other instrument
              or document
              furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it
              has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the
              financial
              statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
              information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
              and
              decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee
              will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning
              Lender
              or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as
              it shall deem
              appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions
              in taking or
              not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and
              authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
              to exercise
              such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan
              Documents as
              are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
              with such
              powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such
              assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms
              all of the
              obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be
              performed by
              it as a Lender.

             

            (c)  Upon
              its
              receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender
              and an
              assignee in accordance with Section 8.07(a), together with any Note or
              Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment
              and
              Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit
              B
              hereto,
              (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information
              contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to
              each of the Borrowers.

             

            (d)  The
              Agent
              shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each
              Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register

              of, and
              principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to
              time, and
              whether the proceeds of each such Advanced were used for the purpose
              of
              purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation
              U issued
              by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (the “Register”).
              The
              entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
              absent
              manifest error, and each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders
              may treat
              each Person whose name is recorded as a Lender in the Register as a

              available
              for inspection by each of the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable
              time and

              Lender may upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Initial Borrower
              sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to
              all or a

              limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing
              to it and any
              Note or Notes held by it); provided,
              however,
              that
              (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without
              limitation, its Commitment to each of the Borrowers hereunder) shall
              remain
              unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
              parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender
              shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement,
              (iv) each of the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue
              to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
              Lender’s
              rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under
              any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment
              or waiver
              of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
              consent to
              any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, except to the extent that
              such
              amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest
              on, the
              Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case
              to the
              extent subject to such participation, or postpone any scheduled date
              for any
              payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or
              other
              amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
              participation. If any Lender sells a participation as described in
              this
              Section 8.07(e), such Lender shall provide to the Agent on behalf of the
              Borrowers, or maintain as agent of the Borrowers, the information described
              in
              Section 8.07(d) with respect to such participation and shall permit each of
              the Borrowers to review such information (to the extent permitted under
              applicable law) from time to time upon request. Neither the sale of
              any such
              participation nor the holding of such a participation by any participant
              shall
              increase any obligation of any Borrower under Section 2.14.

             

            (f)  Any
              Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
              assignment or proposed participation, disclose to the assignee or participant
              or
              proposed assignee or participant any financial statements and related
              documents
              delivered to the Agent in accordance with Section 4.01(e),
              Section 5.01(d)(i) or Section 5.01(d)(ii); provided
              that,
              prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed
              assignee
              or proposed participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality
              of any
              Confidential Information received by it in accordance with the terms
              of
              Section 8.08.

             

            (g)  Notwithstanding
              any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at
              any time
              create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
              this
              Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it
              and any Note
              or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
              with
              Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
              System.

              8.08  Confidentiality. 
              Neither
              the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information
              to any
              other Person without the consent of each of the Borrowers, other than
              (a) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers,
              directors, employees, agents and advisors and, as contemplated by 8.07(f),
              to
              actual or prospective assignees and participants, and then only on
              a
              confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or
              judicial process and (c) as requested or required by any state, federal or
              foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking; provided,
              that,
              with respect to clause (b) above, the Agent and each Lender agree to
              notify the
              Initial Borrower promptly of any such request for the disclosure of
              Confidential
              Information unless such notification is prohibited by applicable law,
              rule or
              regulation or by judicial process.

              8.09  Judgment
              Currency.

             

             (a) 
If
              for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary
              to convert a
              sum due hereunder in Dollars or Euros into another currency, the parties
              hereto
              agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that
              the rate of
              exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
              procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars or Euros, as the case may
              be, with
              such other currency at Citibank’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M.
              (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment
              is
              given.

             

            (b)  The
              obligation of each Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any
              currency
              (the “Primary
              Currency”)
              to any
              Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in
              any other
              currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day
              following
              receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum
              adjudged to
              be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the
              case may be)
              may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable
              Primary
              Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable
              Primary
              Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the
              Agent (as
              the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, each Borrower
              agrees, as a
              separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
              such
              Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if
              the amount of
              the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to
              any Lender
              or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency,
              such
              Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower
              such
              excess.

              Initial Borrower may request that any of the Related Parties become
              party to
              this Agreement as an additional borrower (an “Additional
              Borrower”),
              and
              additionally such Related Party or a Borrower may elect that all or
              any portion
              of the Advances and other obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement
              and
              the other Loan Documents shall be assumed by any other Borrower, in
              either case,
              by delivering to the Agent each of the following:

             

            (i)  a
              Borrower Accession Agreement, duly executed by the Initial Borrower

              of
              the Additional Borrower certifying the names and true signatures of
              the other

              hereunder;

             

            (ii)  an
              opinion of counsel addressing the matters covered by opinion paragraphs
              1, 2, 3,

              C-3
              in
              Section 3.01(d)(iv) (with such exceptions, assumptions and qualifications
              as are customary or appropriate in light of the circumstances under
              which such
              opinion is given);

             

            (iii)  (A)
              except in the case of any Related Party that will be an Affiliate Guaranteed
              Borrower, the most recently available quarterly or annual financial
              statements
              of such Related Party and its Subsidiaries (which may be unaudited)
              and (B) in
              the case of an Affiliate Guaranteed Borrower, the most recently available
              quarterly or annual financial statements of the applicable Guarantor
              (which may
              be unaudited); and

             

            (iv)  if,
              as of
              the date such Related Party becomes an Additional Borrower, such Related
              Party
              does not have long-term senior unsecured debt ratings of A- or better
              from
              S&P or A3 or better from Moody’s, a duly executed and delivered Guaranty
              Agreement from the Company or a Related Party that maintains such debt
              rating at
              such time.

             

             

            (b)  A
              Related
              Party in respect of which the Initial Borrower has delivered a Borrower
              Accession Agreement to the Agent shall become an Additional Borrower
              and, as
              such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder
              with
              respect to the Commitments specified to be made available to such Additional
              Borrower, which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000,000; provided,
              that no
              Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
              would
              result from such joinder or assumption, as applicable. Upon any assumption
              of
              all of the Advances and other obligations of any Borrower, then, so
              long no
              Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing or Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing
              in
              respect of such Borrower is outstanding at such time, such Borrower
              shall no
              longer be a party to this Agreement.

              Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
              for
              itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New

              court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New
              York City,
              and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
              arising

              court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each
              Borrower

              any notice
              of any such service to any Borrower shall not impair or affect the
              validity of
              such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding
              based
              thereon. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
              any such
              action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
              jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided

              any other
              Loan Document in the courts of any jurisdiction.

             

            (b)  Each
              of

              extent
              it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now
              or hereafter
              have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
              out of or
              relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York
              State or
              federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives,
              to the
              fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum
              to the
              maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

              to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute

          GUARANTY

        dated
          as of August 23, 2006

        

        GUARANTY
          by The Procter & Gamble Company, an Ohio corporation (the “Company”) in
          favor of the Agent and each of the Lenders (as each such Person is hereinafter
          defined).

        

        Procter
          & Gamble International S.A.R.L., a société
          à responsabilité
          limitée organized
          under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (the “Initial Borrower”) has
          entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July 27, 2005 (as
          amended, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
          Agreement) with the Additional Borrowers referred to therein, the Lenders
          party
          thereto (the “Lenders”) and Citibank, NA, as administrative agent for such
          Lenders (together with any
          successor
          thereto appointed pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement, the
“Agent”).
          Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the
          same
          meanings as specified therefor in the Credit Agreement. It is a condition
          precedent to the effectiveness
          of the Amendment and Waiver to the Revolving Credit Agreement date as of
          the
          date hereof that the Company shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company agrees as follows:

        

        Section
          1. Guaranty.
          The
          Company unconditionally guarantees the payment of all of the obligations
          of the
          Borrowers, whether now or hereafter existing, under the Credit Agreement
          and the
          Notes, if any (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and hereby agrees to
          pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
          fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any of the Lenders
          in
          enforcing any rights under this Guaranty in accordance with the terms hereof.
          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company’s liability shall
          extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations
          and
          would be owed by any Borrower to the Agent or any of the other Lenders
          but for
          the fact that such Guaranteed Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable
          due
          to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
          involving
          such Borrower.

        

        Section
          2. Guaranty
          Absolute.
          The
          Company guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly
          in
          accordance with the terms of Section 4, regardless of any law, regulation
          or
          order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
          terms
          or the rights of any Lender with respect thereto. The liability of the
          Company
          under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
          irrespective of, and the Company hereby irrevocably waives any defenses
          it may
          now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the
          following:

        

        (a)
          any
          lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Notes,
          if any,
          or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

        

        (b)
          any
          change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
          of, all
          or any of the Guaranteed Obligations under or in respect of the Credit
          Agreement
          and the Notes, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
          from the Credit Agreement or the Notes, including, without limitation,
          any
          increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of
          additional credit to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
          otherwise;

        

        (c)
          any
          taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from,
          any
          other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

        

        (d)
          any
          change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence
          of
          any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

         

        (e) any
          failure of any Lender to disclose to any Borrower or the Company any information
          relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations,
          performance, properties or prospects of any other Borrower or guarantor
          now or
          hereafter known to such Lender (the Company waiving any duty on the part
          of the
          Lenders to disclose such information);

        

        (f) the
          failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other guaranty or
          agreement or the release or reduction of liability of the Company or any
          other
          guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

        

        (g) any
          other
          circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
          or any
          existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might
          otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company
          or
          any other guarantor or surety.

        

        This
          Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
          be, if
          at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded
          or
          must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency,
          bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, as though such payment had
          not
          been made.

        

        Section
          3. Waivers.
          The
          Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence,
          notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of
          nonperformance, default, protest, dishonor and any other notice with respect
          to
          any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, and any requirement
          that the Agent or any of the Lenders exhaust any right or take any action
          against any of the Borrowers or any other Person. The Company hereby
          unconditionally waives any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledges
          that
          this Guaranty is continuing in nature. The Company acknowledges that it
          will
          receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
          contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waivers and agreements
          set
          forth in Section 2 are knowingly made in contemplation of such
          benefits.

        

        Section
          4. Payments.
          The
          Company shall make each payment hereunder with respect to Guaranteed Obligations
          in Dollars not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day that
          is 30
          days after the date on which the Company receives written notice from the
          Agent
          that any Borrower has failed to make a payment under the Credit Agreement,
          including therein the date of such failure and the aggregate amount owing
          by the
          applicable Borrower. Such payment shall be made to the Agent by deposit
          of such
          funds to the Agent’s Account in same day funds. All computations of, and
          determinations for, payments to be made hereunder shall be made in accordance
          with Sections 2.13(b) and 2.13(c) of the Credit Agreement.

        

        Section
          5.
          Representations
          and Warranties of the Company. The
          Company hereby represents and warrants as follows:

          This

          of
          (i) the payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) the

        Section
          8. Jurisdiction.
          The
          Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
          its
          property, to the nonexciusive jurisdiction of any New York State court
          or
          federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City,
          and any
          appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out
          of or
          relating to this Guaranty, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
          and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
          of
          any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New
          York
          State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.
          The
          Company agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
          be
          conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
          or
          in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect
          any
          right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
          relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in the courts of any
          jurisdiction. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
          fullest
          extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may
          now or
          hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
          arising
          out of or relating to this Guaranty in any New York State or federal court.
          The
          Company hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
          the
          defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
          in any such court.

        

        Section
          9. Miscellaneous.
          This
          Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
          of the
          State of New York. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
          to
          this Guaranty by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an originally
          executed counterpart of this Guaranty. The Company hereby irrevocably waives
          all
          right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether
          based
          on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Guaranty
          or
          the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration,
          performance or enforcement thereof.
