TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 30 #89514481v17 written demand for indemnification therefor within 120 days of receiving notice of the existence of such liability. 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. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any Person. (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by a Borrower, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. (e) (i) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender and on the date of the Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event within the control of such Lender (including a change in Applicable Lending Office but not including a change in law) requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall provide (but only to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to provide) the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent with either Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying in the case of form W- 8BEN or W-8BEN-E that such Lender is either (i) entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments under this Agreement or (ii) a Portfolio Interest Eligible Non-Bank (as defined below) or certifying in the case of form W-8ECI that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero (or if such Lender cannot provide at such time such form because it is not entitled to reduced withholding under a treaty and the payments are not effectively connected income), withholding tax at such rate (or at the then existing U.S. statutory rate if the Lender cannot provide such a form) shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.12(a) unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a zero rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such zero rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was in compliance with the provisions of Section 9.07(h) and was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term “Taxes” shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States interest withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this Section 2.12(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, that the relevant Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. For purposes of this paragraph (e) the term “Portfolio Interest Eligible Non-Bank” means a Lender that certifies in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 31 #89514481v17 that (i) it is not a bank within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(A), (ii) it is not a 10% shareholder of any Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(B) and (iii) it is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(C). (ii) To the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, such Lender shall provide executed originals of Internal Revenue Service form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8BEN or W- 8BEN-E, as appropriate, a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the beneficial owner meets the requirements to be treated as a Portfolio Interest Eligible Non-Bank (if such beneficial owner were a Lender), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a certificate from each partner in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Borrower that such partner meets the requirements to be treated as a Portfolio Interest Eligible Non-Bank (if such partner were a Lender). (iii) If any payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. 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 Code section 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Code section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. (iv) In addition, upon the reasonable request of the U.S. Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) on behalf of any Borrower that is not a U.S. Borrower, each Lender will use all reasonable efforts to provide to such Borrower (if it can do so without material cost to such Lender) such forms, certifications of tax residency or other documentation as may be requested by such Borrower in order to cause interest on Loans to such Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to be subject to a reduced rate of withholding under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Borrower or under any income tax treaty to which the jurisdiction of the Borrower is a party; and if any such form, certification of tax residency or document requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof, that the relevant Lender considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 32 #89514481v17 Such forms, certifications of tax residency or other documentation delivered pursuant to this Section 2.12(e) as requested by any Borrower shall be periodically renewed if it is required under the law of the jurisdiction of organization of such Borrower. (f) For any period with respect to which a Person that is required pursuant to Section 2.12(e) to provide a Borrower with any documentation described therein but has failed to provide a Borrower with such documentation or notice that it cannot provide such form, certification of tax residency or other documentation (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form or other documentation originally was required to be provided, or if such form or other documentation otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) above), such Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.12(a) with respect to Taxes to the extent such forms, certifications of tax residency or other documents would prevent the imposition thereof; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certification of tax residency or other documentation required hereunder, the relevant Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes. (g) 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 that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. (h) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, in the event that a Lender that originally provided such form, certification of tax residency or other documentation as may be required under Section 2.12(e) thereafter ceases to qualify for complete exemption from withholding tax, such Lender may assign its interest under this Agreement to any Eligible Assignee and such assignee shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Section 2.12 as the assignor provided that the rate of withholding tax applicable to such assignee shall not exceed the rate then applicable to the assignor. (i) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder and under the Notes and the termination of the Commitments. (j) If a Borrower is required to pay any Lender any Taxes under Section 2.12(c), such Lender shall be an “Affected Person”, and the U.S. Borrower shall have the rights set forth in Section 3.08 to replace such Affected Person. (k) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any other taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable and documented expenses arising thereform or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 33 #89514481v17 Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (k). 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 Loans made by it (other than as expressly provided herein) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all such Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from such other Lenders such participations in the Loans 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 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 Borrower 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 such Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 2.14 Conversion or Continuation of Loans. (a) Each Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to Convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to Convert Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to Continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans Converted or Continued for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion or Continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share. Subject to clause (b) below, each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of a Continuation or Conversion into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice, and (y) in the case of a Conversion into Base Rate Loans, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice, in each case, specifying (A) the amount and Type of Loan being Converted or Continued, (B) in the case of a Conversion to or a Continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a Conversion, the date of Conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a Conversion from Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period). (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and no Continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Rate Loans


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 34 #89514481v17 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, or Conversion into, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.09, 3.05 or 3.06. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to Continue any Eurocurrency Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to Convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically Converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, be automatically Converted to a Base Rate Loan. SECTION 2.15 [Intentionally Deleted]. SECTION 2.16 Defaulting Lender. (a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply: (i) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, the ratable portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Commitments; provided, that (A) the amount which a Non-Defaulting Lender will be required to advance may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and (ii) in the case of each Defaulting Lender, any amount paid by the U.S. Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.05(b)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, third to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 35 #89514481v17 determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fourth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement as determined in any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender, fifth after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all the Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. (b) [Intentionally Deleted]. (c) [Intentionally Deleted]. (d) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments. The U.S. Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the U.S. Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. (e) Cure. If the U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.16(a)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such Lender’s ratable portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will become a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. (f) Non-Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the occurrence of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on any date required under this Agreement and no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any Loan or payment required under this Agreement. SECTION 2.17 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document 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 any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 36 #89514481v17 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 other Loan Document; 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. ARTICLE III MAKING THE LOANS SECTION 3.01 Making the Loans. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing, and (y) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day of a Base Rate Borrowing, by the U.S. Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of any Euro Borrower) to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier. Each notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be made in writing, or verbally and confirmed immediately in writing, by telecopier, electronic mail, telex or cable, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Type of Loan comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Interest Period for each such Loan, and (v) the name of the Borrower (which shall be the U.S. Borrower or a Euro Borrower). Each Lender shall (A) before 11:00 A.M. Local Time on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Eurocurrency Rate Borrowing) and (B) before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing (in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing), make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day 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 IV (Conditions of Lending), the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower may agree.


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 37 #89514481v17 (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, the U.S. Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Loans for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000. (c) Subject to Sections 2.09(c) and 3.06, each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the U.S. Borrower and the relevant Borrower; provided that each Notice of Borrowing may be conditioned upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Acquisition, subject to the immediately following sentence. In the case of any Borrowing by a Borrower which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such Borrower shall indemnify each relevant 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 IV (Conditions of Lending) (including, in the case of a conditional Notice of Borrowing, the failure of the Acquisition to be consummated substantially concurrently), including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Loan, 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 time any Borrowing is required to be made 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 3.01 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant 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 relevant 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 such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, provided that such Borrower retains its rights against such Lender with respect to any damages it may incur as a result of such Lender’s failure to fund, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall such Borrower be liable to such Lender or any other Person for the interest payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this sentence. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan 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 Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 38 #89514481v17 SECTION 3.05 Increased Costs. (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 included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage, in each case as of the date of determination thereof) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof 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) which implements any introduction or change specified in clause (i) above, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within ten Business Days after written 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 incurred during the 90-day period prior to the date of such demand. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of such costs. (b) If any Lender determines that compliance with (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation, in each case after the date hereof, or (ii) any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which implements any introduction or change specified in clause (i) above, 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 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, within ten Business Days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall from time to time pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of such circumstances for such increase in capital or liquidity incurred during the six-month period prior to the date of such demand, 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. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof shall be prima facie evidence of such costs. (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the U.S. Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). (d) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender on the last day of each Interest Period so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against Eurocurrency Liabilities (or so long as such Lender is maintaining reserves against any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 39 #89514481v17 Eurocurrency Rate Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or against any category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes any Eurocurrency Rate Loans) an additional amount (determined by such Lender and notified to the U.S. Borrower through the Administrative Agent) equal to the product of the following for each Eurocurrency Rate Loan for each day during such Interest Period: (i) the principal amount of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan outstanding on such day; and (ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the rate (expressed as a decimal) at which interest accrues on such Eurocurrency Rate Loan for such Interest Period as provided in this Agreement (less the Applicable Margin) and the denominator of which is one minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage in effect on such day minus (y) such numerator; and (iii) 1/360. (e) If the U.S. Borrower is required to pay any Lender any amounts under this Section 3.05, the applicable Lender shall be an “Affected Person”, and the U.S. Borrower shall have the rights set forth in Section 3.08 to replace such Affected Person.

The U.S. Borrower (on behalf of itself and on behalf of each Borrower) agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a Conversion of an existing, Borrowing (including any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent in Article IV (Conditions of Lending) relating to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or (E) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (provided such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the email address specified in Section 9.02(a) above or such other e-mail address designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time. (ii) Use of Web Platforms. Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on DebtDomain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 9.02 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other manner specified in this Agreement.


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 63 #89514481v17 (iii) E-mail Notification to Lenders. Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission, and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. (iv) Presumption as to Delivery of E-Mail. Each party agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section 9.02 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in the e-mail system of the recipient; provided that if such communication is not so received during normal business hours, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day. (v) Waiver of Responsibility. Each party acknowledges that (A) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (B) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (C) none of the Administrative Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Citigroup Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (D) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Citigroup Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform. (vi) Limitation on use of Platform. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the U.S. Borrower has any reason to believe that either the confidentiality of the Platform, the confidentiality of electronic transmissions to the Administrative Agent, or the integrity of Communications posted on the Platform has, may have or may in the future be compromised, then the U.S. Borrower may upon notice to the Administrative Agent delivered in any manner permitted under this Agreement, either (1) suspend its obligation hereunder to transmit Communications to the Administrative Agent by electronic/soft medium, (2) instruct the Administrative Agent not to transmit to the Platform any as yet un-posted Communications, and/or (3) instruct the Administrative Agent to take commercially reasonable steps to remove any currently posted Communications from the Platform. In the event that the use of the Platform should be suspended due to any of the circumstances described in this paragraph, the U.S. Borrower agrees to deliver the Communications to each Lender via e-mail. The Lenders agree that the delivery of the Communications via e-mail shall be deemed effective upon the posting of a record of such electronic transmission as “sent” in the e-mail system of the U.S. Borrower. The Administrative Agent agrees to immediately inform the U.S. Borrower of any security issue or Communications integrity issue that comes to its


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 64 #89514481v17 attention and relates to the Platform or the Administrative Agent’s receipt of electronic Communications. SECTION 9.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender 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 9.04 Costs and Expenses. (a) The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay, whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, on demand (x) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation (excluding normal travel and related expenses incurred by the personnel of the Administrative Agent), execution, delivery, administration (excluding those which are customarily borne by the Administrative Agent), modification and amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, and (y) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The U.S. Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable expenses of the Lenders (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel (including, without duplication, internal counsel) fees and expenses) in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 9.04(a). (b) Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, penalties, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in its agent or lending capacity under, or otherwise in connection with, the Loan Documents, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of, or in connection with the preparation for a defense of, any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of, related to or in connection with the Loan Documents, the proposed or actual use of the proceeds therefrom or any of the other transactions contemplated thereby, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Borrower, its shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any of its Related Parties. Each Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans; provided that such waiver of consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 9.04(b). Each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees not to assert any claim against the U.S. Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their directors, officers, employees,


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 65 #89514481v17 attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. For purposes of this Section 9.04(b), a “Related Party” of an Indemnified Party means (i) any controlling Person, controlled Affiliate or Subsidiary of such Indemnified Party and (ii) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Party or any of its Subsidiaries, controlled Affiliates or controlling Persons; provided that each reference to a controlling Person, controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee in this sentence pertains to a controlling Person, controlled Affiliate, director, officer or employee involved in the preparation of the Loan Documents or the other transactions contemplated thereby. (c) If (i) any payment of principal of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, as a result of a payment pursuant to Section 3.05 or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.01 or for any other reason, (ii) the U.S. Borrower gives notice of a Loan conversion pursuant to Section 2.09(c) or (iii) a Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan as a result of a request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.08, then the U.S. 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 loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the U.S. Borrower or the Lenders hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the U.S. Borrower contained in Sections 2.12, 3.05 and 9.04, and the agreements and obligations of each Lender under Section 9.11, shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. SECTION 9.05 Rights of Set-off; Payments Set Aside. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a 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 or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the U.S. Borrower against any and all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, of a Euro Borrower against any and all of such Euro Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16(a)(ii) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the U.S. Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 66 #89514481v17 such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have. (b) To the extent that the U.S. Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any such Person exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. SECTION 9.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the U.S. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower or the Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender. SECTION 9.07 Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that: (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitments and/or Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment other than an assignment to another Lender (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (unless such assignment shall be to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender, a Subsidiary of the assigning Lender, or to the bank holding company or a Subsidiary of the bank holding company of which the assigning Lender is a Subsidiary) the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that no consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) or (e) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the consent of the U.S. Borrower shall be deemed to have been provided unless the U.S. Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent of its refusal to give such consent within 10 Business Days of receiving written request for its consent to such assignment, and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 paid by either the assigning Lender or the


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 67 #89514481v17 assignee; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such recordation fee in the case of any such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein except for the conditions set for in clause (iv) of this Section 9.07(a), any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower, the option to provide to a Borrower all or any part of a Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) 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 indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.07 except for the conditions set forth in clause (iii) of this Section 9.07(a), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any Eligible Assignee (consented to by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non- public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 68 #89514481v17 any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.03 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. (c) [Intentionally Deleted]. (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the U.S. Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall provide the U.S. Borrower with a copy of the Register upon reasonable request. (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto, (1) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (2) record the information contained therein in the Register and (3) give prompt notice thereof to the U.S. Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the relevant Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and/or Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and/or Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-l hereto. Such surrendered Note or Notes shall be marked “canceled” and shall be returned promptly to the U.S. Borrower. (f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than (x) any natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (y) any Borrower or any Affiliates of such Borrower or (z) any Defaulting Lender) in or to a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 69 #89514481v17 obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) except in the case of a participation involving a Lender and one of its Affiliates (and this exception shall apply only so long as the participant remains an Affiliate of such Lender), the parties to each such participation shall execute a participation agreement in substantially the form of the Participation Agreement, and (vi) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment to or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would alter the principal of, or interest on, the Loan or Loans in which such participant is participating or any fees or other amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder. Each Lender shall provide the U.S. Borrower with a list of entities party to all Participation Agreements with such Lender upon request. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System that (a) has purchased a participation of at least $10,000,000 on or after the Effective Date, (b) is, by written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent (“Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a Voting Participant hereunder (any bank that is a member of the Farm Credit System so designated being called a “Voting Participant”) and (c) receives the prior written consent of the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, as if such participant were a Lender, on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action. To be effective, each Voting Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (i) state the full name, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in Exhibit C-1 hereto and (ii) state the dollar amount of the participation purchased. The U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information contained in notices delivered pursuant to this paragraph. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the U.S. Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal and interest amounts of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Loan or other obligation hereunder) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103−1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information, including Confidential


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 70 #89514481v17 Information, relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall agree to (i) preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Borrowers received by it from such Lender and (ii) be bound by the provisions of Section 9.11. (h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, an Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 3.05 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the effective date of such assignment. (i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Borrower create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other central banking authority.

Each Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of any Borrowers, its stockholders and/or its Affiliates. Each Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby

Each Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. ARTICLE X GUARANTY SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. (a) To induce the Lenders to make the Loans to the Euro Borrowers, the U.S. Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety (in such capacity, the “Guarantor”), the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or any other Loan Document, of the principal of and interest on the Loans made by each Lender to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, each Euro Borrower and all other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by any Euro Borrower under this Agreement pursuant hereto, to its Euro Borrower Designation, and under the Notes, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called, the “Guarantied Obligations”), whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether enforceable or unenforceable as against any Euro Borrower, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection.

TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 76 #89514481v17 (l) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor or any other obligor on any obligations, other than the payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. SECTION 10.04 Waivers. The U.S. Borrower 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 Guarantied Obligations or any part of them, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Euro Borrower. The U.S. Borrower shall not, until the Guarantied Obligations are irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, assert any claim or counterclaim it may have against any Euro Borrower or set off any of its obligations to any Euro Borrower against any obligations of any Euro Borrower to it. In connection with the foregoing, the U.S. Borrower covenants that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, except by complete performance. SECTION 10.05 Reliance. The U.S. Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Euro Borrowers 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 the U.S. Borrower 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 the U.S. Borrower, 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 10.06 Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Until the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the U.S. Borrower 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 any Euro Borrower or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against any Euro Borrower by reason of this Agreement or by any payment made by the U.S. Borrower in respect of the obligations under this Agreement or the Notes. SECTION 10.07 Subordination. The U.S. Borrower hereby agrees that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(e), any Indebtedness of any Euro 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 under this Agreement and the Notes, and that, except as expressly permitted by this agreement, the Guaranty Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until such obligations have been paid in full and this Guaranty is terminated and of no further force or effect. The U.S. Borrower shall not 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 Section 7.01(e), each Euro 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 under this Agreement and the Notes as provided herein. Each payment on the Guaranty Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 77 #89514481v17 shall be deemed to have been received by the U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower’s liability under this Article X (Guaranty). The U.S. Borrower agrees to file all claims against the Euro Borrowers 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 U.S. Borrower’s rights thereunder. If for any reason the U.S. Borrower fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, the U.S. Borrower 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 the U.S. Borrower’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, the U.S. Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of the U.S. Borrower’s rights to any payments or distributions to which the U.S. Borrower otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than the U.S. Borrower’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. SECTION 10.08 Default; Remedies. The obligations of the U.S. Borrower hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guarantied Obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against the U.S. Borrower to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations then due, without first proceeding against the defaulting Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, or joining the defaulting Euro Borrower or Euro Borrowers or any other guarantor in any proceeding against the U.S. Borrower. At any time after maturity of the Guarantied Obligations, the Administrative Agent may (unless the Guarantied Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full), without notice to the U.S. Borrower, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guarantied Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Guarantied Party to the U.S. Borrower and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to the U.S. Borrower at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Guarantied Party or any of its respective Affiliates. SECTION 10.09 Irrevocability. This Guaranty set forth in this Article X (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 U.S. Borrower 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 the U.S. Borrower or any Euro Borrower, and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to the U.S. Borrower or any Euro Borrower, at any time held by or coming into the possession of such Guarantied Party or Affiliate thereof (other than trust accounts).


 
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT FMC CORPORATION 78 #89514481v17 SECTION 10.11 No Marshaling. The U.S. Borrower 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 the U.S. Borrower 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 U.S. Borrower, 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 such Euro Borrower or the U.S. Borrower, 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 U.S. Borrower under this Article X (Guaranty). Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by any Euro Borrower to any Guarantied Party shall be conclusive and binding on the U.S. Borrower irrespective of whether the U.S. Borrower was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.
