Revolving Loans, the “Revolving Loans”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate Euro Equivalent amount at any time outstanding for all such Revolving Loans not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall (i) any Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Available Credit or (ii) the Euro Equivalent of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made to the Borrower exceed €220,000,000. Within the limits of the Commitment of each Lender, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing except, that in the case of the initial Borrowing, notice shall be given by the Borrower concurrently with or prior to execution of this Agreement for funding on the next Business Day after the Closing Date. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) whether the Borrowing is to be a Euro Revolving Loan or a Dollar Revolving Loan, (C) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, and (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any Eurocurrency Rate Loans. The Revolving Loans shall be made as Eurocurrency Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.12 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion of the Dollar Revolving Loans shall be Substitute Basis Loans. Each Borrowing of Euro Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than the $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. No more than ten (10) Borrowings may be outstanding at any time.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurocurrency Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.12(a) (Determination of Interest Rate). Each Lender shall notify the Agent of any extra costs involved due to application of the Eurocurrency Rate. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m (London time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 12.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans) and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan), and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 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 the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement and such repayment shall relieve the Borrower’s obligation with respect to the principal portion of such amount. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified (each such Lender, until such payment is made, a “Non-Funding Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof and any mandatory prepayment resulting from such reduction shall have been made.

Section 2.4 Repayment of Loans

Section 2.5 Evidence of Debt

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Note).

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, the date such Obligations are paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurocurrency Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than six months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring every six months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan and (ii) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.12 (Special Provisions Governing Eurocurrency Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically continued as with an interest period of one month (or if consented by all Lenders, seven days). Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.10 Fees

(a) Unused Commitment Fee.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

(b) All computations of interest and of 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 and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments made of any Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay those Eurocurrency Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the applicable 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 that the Borrower shall not have 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 at the rate specified in Section 2.8(a) 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.

(e) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (f) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Commitments; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (e) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any cash collateral account in the following order:

First, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

Second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;

Fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans;

Fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Revolving Loans ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans; and

Sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through sixth, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that the funds allocated to the Lenders shall be used to pay, first, interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower (unless the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Lender, prior to making such Advance, a notice of the type described in Section 2.2(d)), and this proviso and the order of priority set forth in clauses first through second of this Section 2.11(f) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through sixth of this Section 2.11(f) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders (and the Administrative Agent, if required pursuant to the preceding sentence) without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) At the option of the Administrative Agent, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Loans may be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (Borrowing Procedures) from time to time in such Lender’s discretion, that are in the amounts of any and all interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Loans, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrower agrees that all such Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan), which conditions the Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurocurrency Rate then

being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans in Dollars or Euros, as applicable, for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing and Section 2.12(f) shall apply.

If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurocurrency Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 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 cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurency Lending Office to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, each Lender of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall convert such Loans into Substitute Basis Loans in accordance with the procedure outlined in Section 2.12(f) hereof. If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.12(d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The applicable Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.9 (Continuation Option), or any conversion or continuation of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan occurs on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (ii) if for any reason any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is prepaid (including, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.7 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) pursuant to any Substitution Notice delivered under Section 2.15 (Substitution of Lenders). The Lender

making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

(f) Substitute Basis

(i) During the 30 day period following the date of any such notice given pursuant to Section 2.12 (b) or (d) in relation to Eurocurrency Rate Loans (the “Negotiation Period”), the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and the Borrower will negotiate in good faith for the purpose of agreeing upon an alternative, mutually acceptable basis (the “Substitute Basis”) for determining the rate of interest to be applicable to such Loan, and any other amounts hereunder not paid when due, in lieu of the Eurocurrency Rate, and if at the expiry of the Negotiation Period the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Lenders) and the Borrower have agreed upon a Substitute Basis and any required approvals of any Governmental Authority therefor have been obtained, the Substitute Basis in lieu of the applicable Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Margin shall take effect from such date (including such retroactive date) as the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Lenders) and the Borrower may in such circumstance agree.

(ii) If, at the expiry of the Negotiation Period, a Substitute Basis shall not have been agreed upon or any required approvals of any Governmental Authority therefor shall not have been obtained, the Administrative Agent (with the consent of the Lenders) shall notify the Borrower of the cost to the Lenders (as reasonably determined by them) of funding and maintaining the outstanding affected Loans, and any other amounts hereunder not paid when due, for the applicable Interest Period, and the interest payable to the Lenders on Loans, and such other amounts not paid when due, to which such Interest Period applies shall be interest at a rate per annum equal to the cost of funding and maintaining such Loans or such other amounts as so notified by the Administrative Agent plus the Applicable Margin.

Loans to which the rate of interest determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.12(g) applies are referred to as “Substitute Basis Loans” and the rate of interest so determined is referred to as the “Substitute Basis Rate.”

The procedures specified in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall apply to each relevant period succeeding the first such period to which they were first applied unless and until the Administrative Agent (at the request of the affect Lender) notifies the Borrower that the condition referred to in Section 2.12(b) or (d) no longer exists, whereupon interest on Loans shall again be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof, effective commencing on the third Business Day after the date of such notice.

With a view to returning to the normal operation of the Facility, the Administrative Agent shall, after having consulted with such Lender, examine the situation at least weekly to determine if the circumstances described in Section 2.12(b) or (d) still prevail.

Section 2.13 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall 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 for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent taxes measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) 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, (x) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (y) the relevant Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to assist any Loan Party in obtaining any refunds from any Governmental Authority for any Taxes or Other Taxes improperly imposed on or asserted against a Lender or the Administrative Agent for which such Loan Party has made an indemnification payment under this Section 2.14(c). Upon receipt of any such refund, such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay the applicable Loan Party the amount of such refund.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder, the agreements and obligations of such Loan Party contained in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.14 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than that in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws as will permit such payments to be made without deduction or withholding or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding for income taxes (or franchise taxes in lieu thereof). Each Lender which so delivers such documentation further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent additional or successor documentation on or before the date such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent documentation so delivered by it, as will permit such Lender to receive payments from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document without deduction or withholding (or at a reduced rate of deduction or withholding) for income taxes (or franchise taxes in lieu thereof), unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such documentation inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such documentation with respect to it and such Lender advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding for income tax (or franchise tax in lieu thereof).

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.15 Substitution of Lenders

(a) In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.12(c)(Increased Costs) or Section 2.13 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurocurrency Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12(d) (Illegality), (C) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.14 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause (i)(A), (B) and (C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, if such Lender is to be a Lender, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i)(A), (B), (C) or (D) above by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent

and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

(b) If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.15, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the latest of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated to the extent so assumed; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

(c) Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.15, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

(j) failure by any Guarantied Party to file or enforce a claim against the Borrower or its estate in any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding;

Section 10.4 Waivers

Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice in respect of the Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower. No Guarantor shall, until the Guarantied Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against the Borrower or set off any of its obligations to the Borrower against any obligations of the Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance.

Section 10.5 Reliance

Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Guarantied Party shall have any duty to advise it of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Guarantied Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to each Guarantor, such Guarantied Party shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guarantied Party, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantied Party.

Section 10.6 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights

Until the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the Guarantors shall not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of the Guarantied Parties or any part of them against the Borrower or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower by reason of this Agreement or by any payment made by either Guarantor in respect of the Obligations.

Section 10.7 Subordination

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default) any Indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to it, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Guaranty Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations, and that, except as expressly permitted by this agreement, the Guaranty Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Guarantors shall accept any payment of or on account of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in clause (f) of Section 9.1 (Events of Default), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent any payment of all or any part of the Guaranty Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent shall be applied to payment of the Obligations as provided in clause (g) of Section 2.11 (Payments and Computations). Each payment on the Guaranty Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by the applicable Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the Guarantied Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner the Guarantors’ liability under this Article X. Each Guarantor agrees to file all claims against the Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Guaranty Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of the Guarantors’ rights thereunder. If for any reason any Guarantor fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Guarantor’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Guarantor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than the Guarantors’ liability under this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto.

Section 10.8 Default; Remedies

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty are independent of and separate from the Obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against the Guarantors to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, or joining the Borrower or any other guarantor in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guarantied Obligations, the

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

Administrative Agent may (unless the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to the Guarantors, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guarantied Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to any Guarantor and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates (other than trust accounts).

Section 10.9 Irrevocability

This Guaranty shall be irrevocable as to any and all of the Guarantied Obligations until the Commitments have been terminated and all monetary Guarantied Obligations then outstanding have been irrevocably repaid in cash.

Section 10.10 Setoff

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantied Party and each Affiliate thereof may, without notice to the Guarantors and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations then due and payable (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof to any Guarantor, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to any Guarantor, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof (other than trust accounts).

Section 10.11 No Marshaling

Each Guarantor consents and agrees that no Guarantied Party or Person acting for or on behalf thereof shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of such Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 10.12 Enforcement; Amendments; Waivers

No delay on the part of any Guarantied Party in the exercise of any right or remedy arising under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of or security for all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any such Person of any such right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof. Failure by any Guarantied Party at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by the Guarantors, any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents now or at any time or times hereafter executed by such Persons and delivered to any Guarantied Party shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such Person at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of any Guarantied Party or its Affiliates, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing, directed and delivered to the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, specifying such waiver, and is signed by the party or parties necessary to give such waiver under this Agreement. No waiver of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Event of Default or the same Event of Default on a future occasion, and no action by any Guarantied Party permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair any its rights and remedies or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Article X. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by the Borrower to any Guarantied Party shall be conclusive and binding on each Guarantor irrespective of whether such Guarantor was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment an Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 12.2 Assignments and Participations

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans); provided, however, that (i) for any assignment of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than €5,000,000 or an integral multiple of €500,000 in excess thereof and except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 12.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Note).

(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 12.2, each Lender may (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement), and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (x) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (y) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender’s Securities without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower and (z) to any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above; and provided, further, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation. In the event of the sale of any

CREDIT AGREEMENT

FMC FINANCE B.V.

participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.14 (Taxes) and of Section 2.12(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Sections 2.13 (Capital Adequacy), 2.14 (Taxes) or 2.12(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, no Lender shall make any assignment of, or participate any interest in, any Loan or Commitment to the Borrower to any Person if such Person is not a Professional Market Party (if required by Dutch law or Dutch regulation to be a Professional Market Party) under the Dutch Banking Act and Dutch Banking Act Exemption Regulation.

(h) Each Lender that is a party to this Agreement on the date hereof makes the following representations and warranties to the Borrower:

(i) that (x) it is a Professional Market Party and (y) it is aware that it does not benefit from the (creditor) protection offered by the Dutch Banking Act to lenders of monies to persons or entities that are subject to the prohibition of Section 82 of the Dutch Banking Act; and

As an alternative method of service, the Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Process Agent or the Borrower at its address specified in Section 12.8 (Notices, Etc.).

[ML&B Letterhead]

To:

Citibank International plc, as Administrative Agent, ABN Amro Bank N.V., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Agentaria S.A., National City Bank, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as mandated lead arrangers, and Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Banc of America Securities LLC, as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners, and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below.

Re:

FMC Finance, B.V.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to FMC Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries FMC Finance B.V., a company organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Borrower”), and FMC Chemicals Netherlands B.V., a company organized and existing under the laws of The Netherlands (the “European Parent”), in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Company the European Parent, the Lenders party thereto, Citibank International plc, as agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), ABN Amro Bank N.V., Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Agentaria S.A., National City Bank and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as mandated lead arrangers, and Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Banc of America Securities LLC, as mandated lead arrangers and bookrunners.

This opinion letter is rendered to you pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(iii)(A) of the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein, but not otherwise defined herein, have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of the following documents:

the Credit Agreement; and

the Notes issued by the Borrower on the date hereof, if any (the “Notes”).

We have also examined such corporate records, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Loan Parties, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied without independent investigation upon the representations of the Loan Parties contained in the Credit Agreement.

Page 2

In our examination of the above-mentioned documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

We have assumed that the Borrower and the European Parent have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Borrower, the Notes pursuant to adequate corporate power and in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands and that doing so does not violate, contravene or cause a default under the laws of The Netherlands. We have further assumed that the Credit Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by all of the parties thereto other than the Loan Parties and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of all parties thereto other than the Loan Parties.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to transact the business in which we understand it is now engaged.

2. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and the Credit Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

3. The Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Loan Parties, enforceable against the Loan Parties in accordance with its terms. The Notes constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Borrower, the Notes, will not conflict with, constitute a default under or violate (i) any provisions of the Constituent Documents of the Company, (ii) to our knowledge any material Contractual Obligation of the Loan Parties, (iii) the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the laws of the State of New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the United States which are applicable to the Loan Parties and are, in our experience, normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement, or (iv) any judgment, writ, injunction, decree, order or ruling of any court or Governmental Authority applicable to any Loan Party and of which we have knowledge.

5. No consent, approval, waiver, license or authorization or other action by or filing with any New York, Pennsylvania or federal Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Credit Agreement, or in the case of the Borrower, any Notes.

6. The borrowings by and other financial accommodations provided to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the application of proceeds thereof as provided in the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

7. Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

Page 3

8. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration, at law or in equity or before any Governmental Authority, pending or overtly threatened in writing against any Loan Party with respect to the Credit Agreement or challenging any of the Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies thereunder, which, if adversely determined, could materially adversely affect the ability of any Loan Party to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional assumptions and qualifications:

The opinions expressed herein are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and general principles of equity.

Matters of venue may be subject to the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought and therefore we express no opinion as to any provisions of the Agreements relating to the selection of venue in connection with any controversy related to the Agreements.

As used in paragraphs 4, 5, and 8, the term “Governmental Authority” does not include any political subdivision of a state.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Delaware General Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States.

Whenever an opinion herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is stated to be based on our knowledge or awareness or is limited to matters known to us or is qualified by words of similar import, it is intended to signify that during the course of our representation of the Loan Parties in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Credit Agreement, no information has come to our attention that would give to the attorneys in this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement actual present knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts. However, except to the extent expressly stated herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts, and no inference as to our knowledge of the existence or absence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Loan Parties.

This opinion letter is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This opinion letter may not be used or relied upon for any other purpose, nor relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent, nor may this opinion letter or any copies thereof be furnished to a third party, quoted, cited or otherwise referred to without our prior written consent, other than to permitted assigns of any Lender, and except as required by any Governmental Authority or pursuant to legal process.

Very truly yours,
