SECTION 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances in U.S. dollars to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date applicable to such Lender in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto, if such Lender has entered into an Assumption Agreement, set forth for such Lender in such Assumption Agreement or, if such Lender has entered into any Assignment and Assumption, set forth for such Lender in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c), as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 2.04 (such Lender’s “Commitment”). Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments is less than $10,000,000, in which case such Borrowing shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and shall consist of Advances of the same Type and having the same

Interest Period made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.09 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower or a Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, and received by the Administrative Agent, which shall give prompt notice thereof to each Lender by facsimile, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or the same Business Day in the case of Base Rate Advances. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be given by facsimile, confirmed immediately by hand or by mail, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Interest Period for each such Advance. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, each Lender shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will promptly make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02.

(b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding:

(i)if any Lender shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and each other Lender and the right of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the portion of such Borrowing advanced by the Lender which has provided the notice described above or the portion of any subsequent Borrowing advanced by such Lender shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each such Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance;

(ii)if no Reference Bank furnishes timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify each Lender and the Borrower and the right of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; and

(iii)if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower and each other Lender and the right of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary to select Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance. The Lenders will review regularly the circumstances causing such suspension, and as soon as such circumstances no longer exist the Required Lenders will notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower that such suspension is terminated.

(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, 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 Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding in any event 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 Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and prior to 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower 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 Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such

corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

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

SECTION 2.03. Commitment Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the average daily amount of such Lender’s unused Commitment, accruing from the date on which this Agreement becomes fully executed in the case of each Bank and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date of such Lender, payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender’s Commitment, commencing December 31, 2018, and on the Termination Date of such Lender, computed from time to time at the rates per annum set forth below under the heading Commitment Fee opposite the higher of the ratings then applicable to the Borrower’s long-term senior unsecured debt as published by S&P and Moody’s:



Moody’s		S&P	Commitment Fee
Aa2 or above	or	AA or above	0.040%
Aa3 or above	or	AA- or above	0.045%

Lower than above or not rated			0.070%

(b) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.04. Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole all of the Commitments or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount which is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding, and provided further that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Advances. The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender on the Termination Date applicable to such Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Advances. The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Lender to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a)Base Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September, and December during such period and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be paid in full; provided that any amount of

principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

(b)Eurodollar Rate Advances. If such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal during the Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the per annum rate equal from time to time to the Credit Default Swap Spread, but not less than the Credit Default Rate Floor, nor more than the Credit Default Rate Cap, as set forth below opposite the higher of the ratings then applicable to the Borrower’s long-term senior unsecured debt as published by S&P and Moody’s:



Moody’s		S&P	Credit Default Rate Floor	Credit Default Rate Cap
Aa3 or above	or	AA- or above	0.100%	0.750%
A1 or above	or	A+ or above	0.150%	0.875%
Lower than above or not rated			0.380%	1.000%

payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day which occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period; provided that any amount of principal which is not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to (x) until the end of the then current Interest Period, 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such amount became due, and (y) thereafter, 1% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

SECTION 2.07. Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall be notified of such additional interest.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. (a) If the applicable Bloomberg screen is unavailable, each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely

information for the purpose of determining the Base Rate from time to time in effect and each Eurodollar Rate, as applicable.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of Section 2.06, provided that if the applicable Bloomberg screen is unavailable, such rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of timely information provided by no fewer than two Reference Banks (it being understood that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to disclose to any party hereto any information regarding any Reference Bank or any rate provided by such Reference Bank, including, without limitation, whether a Reference Bank has provided a rate or the rate provided by any individual Reference Bank and (ii) any such determination shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary and capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the Administrative Agent after consideration of factors as the Administrative Agent then reasonably determines to be relevant).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and notifies the Borrower and the Lenders of such determination, or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined, that:

(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement

identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes (as defined below) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment (in form and substance mutually agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) to all Lenders unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended, (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and mutually agreed by the Borrower, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent determines with the consent of the Borrower).

SECTION 2.09. Prepayments of Advances. The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and the losses, costs and expenses, if any, payable pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time), on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or on the Business Day prior to such date in the case of Base Rate Advances. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and any partial prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advances shall not leave outstanding less than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such Advances comprising part of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation 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), there shall be any increase in the costs to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs for a period beginning not more than 90 days prior to such demand. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost submitted to the Borrower and the

Administrative Agent by such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the increased costs, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender which decreases such Lender’s return on its capital (after taking into account any changes in the Eurodollar Rate and Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage and taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder, such compensation to cover a period beginning not more than 90 days prior to such demand. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount required to be paid hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that a Lender shall not be entitled to submit a claim for compensation pursuant to this clause (b) unless the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for the purposes of this Section 2.10, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (whether or not having the force of law) and (y) all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines, interpretations or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority ) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities (whether or not having the force of law), in case for this clause (y) pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower or Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall make each payment hereunder and under any Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or commitment fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to 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 according to the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.14 or an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.15, and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date or Extension Date, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption 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 Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender’s assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) Each of the Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under any Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s or such Borrowing Subsidiary’s, as the case may be, accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest based on clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fees and facility fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes 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, commitment fee or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with

interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Subject to subsection (f) below, any and all payments hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, (i) if made by the Borrower, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings of the United States of America or any state thereof or political subdivision of any of them or any other jurisdiction from or through which the Borrower elects to make such payment, and all liabilities with respect thereto, and (ii) if made by a Borrowing Subsidiary, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings of any jurisdiction within which it is organized or does business or is managed or controlled or has its head or principal office or from or through which such Borrowing Subsidiary elects to make such payment, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (A) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by any jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or, as to the United States of America or any state thereof or any political subdivision of any of them, is doing business or any political subdivision thereof and by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (B) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, any income tax or franchise tax imposed on it by a jurisdiction (except the United States of America or any state thereof or any political subdivision of any of them) as a result of a connection between such jurisdiction and such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) (other than as a result of such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s having entered into this Agreement, performing hereunder or enforcing this Agreement), (C) any payment of tax which the Borrower is obliged to make pursuant to Section 159 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Xxx 0000 of the United Kingdom (or any re-enactment or replacement thereof) on behalf of a Lender which is resident for tax purposes in the United Kingdom but is not recognized as a bank by H.M. Inland Revenue, (D) Other Taxes as defined in subsection (b) below and (E) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Person shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the Borrower or applicable Borrowing Subsidiary as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). Each Bank and the Administrative Agent represents that at the date of this

Agreement it is not aware of any Other Taxes applicable to it. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to notify the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary on becoming aware of the imposition of any such Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses not attributable to acts or omissions of any party other than the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes (other than Taxes of the United States of America or any state thereof or political subdivision of any of them), the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (if any such receipt is reasonably available), other evidence of such payment or, if neither a receipt nor other evidence is available, a statement by the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary confirming payment thereof.

(e) (i) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will, from time to time as requested by the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary in writing, provide the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary with any applicable forms, completed and signed, that may be required by the tax authority of a jurisdiction in order to certify such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s exemption from or applicable reduction in any applicable Taxes of such jurisdiction with respect to any and all payments that are subject to such an exemption or reduction to be made to such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any Notes, if the Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to such an exemption or reduction.

(ii) If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.12(e)(ii) FATCA shall include amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary shall not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section on account of any Taxes of, or imposed by, the United States, to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) which is not entitled on the date on which it signed this Agreement (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender, on the date on which the assignment to it became

effective or, in the case of any Assuming Lender, on the date it signs the applicable Assumption Agreement), to submit Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI or a certification that it is a corporation or other entity organized in or under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, so as to establish a complete exemption from such Taxes with respect to all payments hereunder and under any Notes. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate form or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12(f) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form or certificate originally was required to be provided), or with respect to which any representation or certification on any such form or certificate is, or proves to be, materially incorrect, false or misleading when so made, such Lender shall not be entitled to receive additional amounts or indemnification under this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States and such Lender shall indemnify and reimburse the Borrower for any Taxes or Other Taxes which were required to be withheld but which were not withheld as a result of such Lender’s failure to provide the appropriate form or certificate of such Lender’s materially incorrect, false or misleading representations or certifications and for which the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary subsequently is required to account, and does account, to the United States tax authorities; provided that if a Lender which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps (at such Lender’s cost and expense) as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) At the request of Borrower or a Borrowing Subsidiary, any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall use reasonable efforts

(consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary shall reimburse such Lender for the Borrower’s or such Borrowing Subsidiary’s equitable share of such Lender’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such change or in considering such a change.

(h) In the event that the Borrower makes an additional payment under Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(c) for the account of any Lender and such Lender, in its sole good faith opinion, determines that is has finally and irrevocably received a refund of any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such additional payment, such Lender shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such refund, pay to the Borrower such amount as such Lender shall, in its sole good faith opinion, have determined is attributable to such deduction of withholding and will leave such Lender (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been had the Borrower not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing contained herein shall (i) interfere with the right of a Lender to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit or (ii) oblige any Lender to claim any refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or (iii) require any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refund to which it may be entitled.

(i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower and its Borrowing Subsidiaries hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and its Borrowing Subsidiaries contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under any Notes, provided, however, that the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary has received timely notice of the assertion of any Taxes or Other Taxes in order for it to contest such Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 2.13. 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 Advances (whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise) made by it (other than pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.10 or 2.12) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by 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 each 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 Borrower and any Borrowing Subsidiary agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower or such Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.14. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than twice in any calendar year prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased by an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 45 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date (without giving effect to the proviso contained in the definition thereof) then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $2,900,000,000 and (ii) the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall have been satisfied as of the date of such request and as of the applicable Increase Date.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, if any, identified by the Borrower of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender so identified by the Borrower that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing

to increase its Commitment. If such Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among such Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) If the Borrower shall have requested any of the Lenders to participate in any Commitment Increase, promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, or if the Borrower shall elect not to request that any of the Lenders participate in such Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to participate in such Commitment Increase or any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders, if any, so invited to increase Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(b) as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such institution shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000.

(d) On each Increase Date, each institution that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.14(c) (each such institution and each Person that agrees to an extension of the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.15(c), an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.14(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Finance Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

(iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.14(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each

Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date. Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.15. Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the next Anniversary Date, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request an extension of the Termination Date in effect at such time by one calendar year from its then scheduled expiration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 20 days prior to such Anniversary Date, notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. The delivery of such notice shall constitute a representation and warranty that on the date of such notice (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such notice (provided that, for the purposes of such representation, (A) all references in the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01(e) to consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, cash flow and retained earnings for the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall be deemed to refer to the corresponding versions of those documents most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.01(e)(ii) prior to the date of the notice contemplated in this Section 2.15(a), (B) all references in the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01(e) and 4.01(f) to “SEC Reports” shall be deemed to refer to the Borrower’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date of such notice and (C) the final sentence of Section 4.01(e) shall be deemed revised to read “Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, since the date of the most recently delivered consolidated financial statements delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.01(e)(ii), there has been no Material Adverse Change”; and (y) there exists no Default. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Termination Date prior to 20 days prior to such Anniversary Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower not later than 15 days prior to such next Anniversary Date of the decision of the Lenders regarding the Borrower’s request for an extension of the Termination Date.

(b) If all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at such next Anniversary Date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for one calendar year; provided that on each Extension Date, the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall have been satisfied. If Lenders holding more than 50% of the Commitments, but less than all of the Lenders, consent in writing to any such request in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the applicable Extension Date, be extended as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Termination Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the Commitment of such Lender is not assumed in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section 2.15 on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such

Non-Consenting Lender shall automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Termination Date without any further notice or other action by the Borrower, such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive the Termination Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Termination Date.

(c) If less than all of the Lenders consent to any such request pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, the Borrower may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Persons as Assuming Lenders (x) to assume, effective as of the Extension Date or such other date as may be agreed among the Borrower, the Non-Consenting Lender, such Consenting Lenders or Persons and the Administrative Agent, any Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement thereafter arising, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lender and (y) to accept, effective as of the Extension Date or such later date as any Assuming Lender executes and delivers an Assumption Agreement, the Termination Date applicable to Consenting Lenders; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 unless the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender is less than $10,000,000, in which case such Assuming Lender shall assume all of such lesser amount; and provided further that:

(i) any such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender shall have paid to such Non-Consenting Lender (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest accrued and unpaid to the effective date of the assignment on, the outstanding Advances, if any, owing to such Non-Consenting Lender plus (B) any accrued but unpaid commitment fees owing to such Non-Consenting Lender as of the effective date of such assignment;

(ii) all additional costs reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to such Non-Consenting Lender, and all other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder, as of the effective date of such assignment shall have been paid to such Non-Consenting Lender; and

(iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 8.07(a) for such assignment shall have been paid;

provided further that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 7.05, shall survive such substitution as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. At least three Business Days prior to any Extension Date, (A) each such Assuming Lender, if any, shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (B) any such Consenting Lender shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably) as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment and (C) each Non-Consenting Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent any Note or Notes held by such Non-Consenting Lender.

Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, each such Consenting Lender or Assuming Lender, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for such Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement and shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of each such Non-Consenting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

(d) If Lenders holding more than 50% of the Commitments (before giving effect to any assignments pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 2.15) consent in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) not later than one Business Day prior to such Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, so long as the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall have been satisfied as of such Extension Date, or shall occur as a consequence thereof, the Termination Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one-year period as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.15, and all references in this Agreement, and in any Notes to the “Termination Date” shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Termination Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Termination Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each such Consenting Lender and each such Assuming Lender.

SECTION 2.16. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that an Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender an Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(c) 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 and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative 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 the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.17. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver written notice to such effect upon obtaining knowledge of such event to the Borrower and such Defaulting Lender, and the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03;

(ii)the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01); provided that such Defaulting Lender shall continue to have voting rights with respect to (x) any amendment, waiver or consent that would increase or extend such Defaulting Lender’s commitment or postpone any scheduled date of payment of or reduce the principal of, or interest on any Advances or fees owing to such Defaulting Lender (except as set forth in clause (i) above), (y) any amendment, waiver or consent modifying the terms of this proviso, or (z) any amendment, waiver or consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than any other Lender or any other affected Lender, as the case may be; and

(iii)any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13) shall be deemed to have satisfied such payment obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender but, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent and (iii) third, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender or upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the confirmation referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender”, as applicable, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such portion of the Advances of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such

Lender to hold such Advances ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment and such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.18 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, (b) any Lender delivers a notice from a Lender as described in Section 2.02(b)(i), (c) the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3(a), (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Protesting Lender or (e) any Lender does not approve any consent, waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01 and (y) has been approved by the Required Lenders (a “Non-Approving Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.07 (other than any requirement that such Lender being replaced consent or otherwise approve such assignment)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Advances to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which borrows hereunder under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Advances shall automatically be terminated and (B) the Advances, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and

payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. The Lenders giving any notice hereunder shall give copies thereof to the Administrative Agent, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such notice.

In the event the Borrower assigns to one or more Subsidiaries the right to borrow under this Agreement (as provided in Section 8.06), each reference in this Article VI to the Borrower shall be a reference to each such Subsidiary as well as to the Borrower.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, except to the extent expressly set forth in Section 7.07, the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 7.03. Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed

in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 6.01), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action

taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to the respective principal amounts of the Advances then owed to each of such Lenders (or if no Advances are at the time outstanding or if any Notes are held by 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 Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

SECTION 7.06. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub‑agents.

SECTION 7.07 Resignation of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the consent of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders with, if applicable, the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.08. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.

SECTION 7.09 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, syndication agents or documentation agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any Borrowing Subsidiary, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved

in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto).

SECTION 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.04. Costs, Expenses, Etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of not more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent, with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.

No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) If any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.10 or acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, the Borrower shall upon demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent) pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding in any event 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 or maintain such Advance. For purposes of this clause (c), the assignment by a Lender of any Eurodollar Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 shall be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower of the principal of such Eurodollar Advance.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement or obligation of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes.

SECTION 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 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower

against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Lender, whether or not (in the case of obligations other than principal and interest) such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations (other than principal) may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.06. Binding Effect; Assignment by Borrower. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and (subject to Section 8.07) their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights to borrow hereunder (in whole or in part) to any Subsidiary (a “Borrowing Subsidiary”), provided that (i) such Subsidiary assumes the obligations of the Borrower hereunder relating to the rights so assigned by executing and delivering an assignment and assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, covering notices, places of payment and other mechanical details, (ii) the Borrower guarantees such Subsidiary’s obligations thereunder and under any Notes issued in connection with such assignment and assumption by executing and delivering a Guaranty substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Guaranty”), (iii) the Borrower and such Subsidiary furnish (x) the Administrative Agent with such other documents and legal opinions as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request relating to the existence of such Subsidiary, its power and authority to request Advances hereunder, and the authority of the Borrower to execute and deliver such Guaranty and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of such assignment, assumption and Guaranty and (y) at least five Business Days in advance of such assignment, each Lender such documentation and other information required by governmental authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, as required under the Patriot Act and, in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower that is a “legal entity customer” within the meaning of the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, delivery of a Beneficial Ownership Certification to each Lender that so requests) and (iv) any such assignment to Borrowing Subsidiary organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall be made only upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. No such assignment and assumption shall substitute Borrowing Subsidiary for the Borrower or relieve the Borrower named herein (i.e., Colgate-Palmolive Company) of its obligations with respect to the covenants, representations, warranties, Events of Default and other terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of which shall continue to apply to such Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

If the Borrower shall designate as a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender

may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Borrowing Subsidiary.

As soon as practicable and in any event within ten Business Days after notice of the assignment to a Borrowing Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, or whose internal policies, consistently applied, preclude lending to such Borrowing Subsidiary (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Borrower shall, effective on or before the date that such Borrowing Subsidiary shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (i) arrange for one or more banks or other entities to take an assignment of all of such Protesting Lender’s interests rights and obligations (including such Protesting Lender’s Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Notes held by it) pursuant to and in compliance with Section 8.07 or (ii) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitment of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated, provided, however, that in each case such Protesting Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more assignees in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Protesting Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts due and payable to such Protesting Lender under this Agreement. Upon the effective date of the action taken under the immediately preceding sentence, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that interests, rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, have the interests, rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Protesting Lender shall relinquish its interests and rights, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and shall cease to be a party hereto.

Each Borrowing Subsidiary hereby agrees that service of process in any action or proceeding brought in any New York State court or in federal court may be made upon the Borrower at its offices specified in Section 10.1, and such Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower to give any notice of any such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Borrower to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon.

SECTION 8.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Advances at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to be paid by the assignee Lender or assignor Lender, as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,

elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its proportionate share of the Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 8.04, and continue to have obligations under Section 7.05, in each case with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for

purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, and the Administrative Agent shall make available a copy of the Register to the Borrower from time to time upon reasonable request of the Borrower.

(d) No assignee of a Lender shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 in relation to circumstances applicable to such assignee immediately following the assignment to it which at such time (if a payment were then due to the assignee on its behalf from the Borrower) would give rise to any greater financial burden on the Borrower under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 than those which it would have been under in the absence of such assignment.

(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person) or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.05 (d) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.09 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.12(f) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Participation Register. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in its rights and other obligations under this Agreement (the "Participation Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participation Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103(e) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(h) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 8.08. Change of Control. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the Required Lenders may, upon and after the occurrence of a Change of Control, by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) immediately suspend or terminate the obligations of the Lenders to make Advances hereunder and/or (ii) require the Borrower to repay all or any portion of the Advances on the date or dates specified in the notice which shall not be less than 30 days after the giving of the notice.

(b) For purposes of this Section “Change of Control” shall mean the happening of any of the following events:

(i)An acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Borrower entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; excluding, however (1) any acquisition by the Borrower, or (2) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Borrower or any corporation controlled by the Borrower; or

(ii) A change in composition of the Board of Directors of the Borrower (the “Board”) such that the individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 8.08, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the date hereof, whose election, or nomination for election by the Borrower’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board.

SECTION 8.09. Mitigation of Adverse Circumstances. If circumstances arise which would or would upon the giving of notice result in a payment or an increase in the amount of any payment to be made to a Lender by reason of Section 2.02(c), 2.10 or 2.12, or which would result in a Lender being unable to make Eurodollar Rate Advances by reason of Section 2.02(b), then, without in any way limiting, reducing or otherwise qualifying the obligations of the Borrower under any of the such Sections, such Lender shall promptly, upon becoming aware of the same, notify the Borrower thereof and, in consultation with the Borrower, take such reasonable steps as may be open to it to mitigate the effects of such circumstances, including the transfer of its Applicable Lending Office to another jurisdiction; provided that such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any such transfer if in the bona fide opinion of such Lender, such transfer would or would likely have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition.

SECTION 8.10. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 8.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.12. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions relating hereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.

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 by law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto 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 Agreement or the Notes in any such 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.

(c) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 8.13. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, (i) such information shall be deemed Information to the extent such information includes any forward-looking information or projections or company-specific business or financing strategies and (ii) with respect to any other information, such other information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 8.14. Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) and the promulgated regulations thereto (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 8.15. No Fiduciary Duties. The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or the Borrowing Subsidiary. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

SECTION 8.16. Judgment. (a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in U.S. dollars 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 Administrative Agent could purchase U.S. dollars 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 the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower and each Borrowing Subsidiary agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Borrower such excess.

SECTION 8.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrower, the Borrowing Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Agreement, the Notes or any Guaranty or the actions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

SECTION 8.18. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under this Agreement or any Note, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any Note; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

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

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of (the “Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending Office (as defined in the Five Year Credit Agreement referred to below) the principal sum of U.S.$[amount of the Lender’s Commitment in figures] or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of each Advance (as defined in the Five Year Credit Agreement referred to below) on the Termination Date (as defined in the Five Year Credit Agreement referred to below) owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Five Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 2018 among the Borrower, the Lender and certain other lenders parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other lenders, (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Five Year Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined) on the Termination Date.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Five Year Credit Agreement.

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, at its offices at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 0, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, in immediately available funds. Each Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Five Year Credit Agreement, the date on which it is due, the interest rate thereon and all prepayments made on account of principal thereof shall be recorded by the Lender on its books, and for each Advance outstanding at the time of any transfer hereof, the same information shall be endorsed on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Five Year Credit Agreement. The Five Year Credit Agreement, among other things, (i) provides for the making of Advances by the Lender to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (ii) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events.

The Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind under this Promissory Note. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any rights hereunder on the part of the holder hereof shall operate as a waiver of such rights.

This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

GUARANTY, dated , 20__, made by COLGATE-PALMOLIVE COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (the “Guarantor”), in favor of Citibank, N.A., as agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for each of the Lenders (the “Lenders”) parties to the Five Year Credit Agreement (as defined below).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

(1) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantor have entered into a Five Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 2, 2018 (said Agreement, as it may heretofore have been or hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Five Year Credit Agreement”, the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined). Pursuant to Section 8.06(b) of the Five Year Credit Agreement and an Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated , 20__ the Guarantor has assigned to , a corporation organized and existing under the laws of (the “Assignee”), certain rights under the Five Year Credit Agreement, so that the Assignee may borrow and receive Advances under the Five Year Credit Agreement. The Assignee is a Subsidiary of the Guarantor and engages in business transactions with the Guarantor, and the Guarantor represents that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from all Advances to the Assignee.

(2) It is a condition precedent to the making of such assignment to the Assignee that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to accept such assignment and to make Advances to the Assignee under the Five Year Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Assignee now or hereafter existing under the Five Year Credit Agreement and under any Notes evidencing Advances to the Assignee (the “Notes”), whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by the Assignee to the Lenders under the Five Year Credit Agreement and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Assignee.

SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Five Year Credit Agreement and the Notes, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lenders with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Assignee or whether the Assignee is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Five Year Credit Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Five Year Credit Agreement or the Notes, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to the Assignee or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise;

(iii) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(iv) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of the Assignee or any of its subsidiaries;

(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Assignee or any of its subsidiaries or its status as a Subsidiary of the Guarantor; or

(vi) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Assignee or a guarantor.

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 Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Assignee or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 3. Waiver. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations, this Guaranty or any circumstance referred to in Section 2, and waives any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Assignee or any other person or entity or any collateral.

SECTION 4. Subrogation. (a) The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have expired or terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (y) the expiration or termination of the Commitments, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Five Year Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Obligations thereafter existing. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Administrative Agent of all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) all the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in full and (iii) the Commitments shall have expired or terminated, the Administrative Agent will, at the Guarantor’s request, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence

the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor.

(b) The Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that the Assignee makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives any proceeds of collateral, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be repaid to the Assignee, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred.
